I am not Louis Torres

[lokheed]

Last week I got a robo-call, with a computer kindly saying it was calling from some medical place with a message for the parents of Louis Torres, and to hang up if I am not that person. So I did. Then two days ago while I was in a meeting, I got that same call. Just now, at 5am Seattle time where I am, I got woken up with it yet again. This time I listened to the entire message, and it turned out to be a collection agency. I just called them to tell them I am not that person, and they said they would take my number off that record.

Anyone want to take any bets as to whether or not a collection agency will actually follow through with that? My money is on being plagued by Louis Torres for months and years to come. Then again, I am a little grumpy at being awake at the moment.

I had this happening to me for a time, and did finally listen through the entire message and call the people associated with it, and they did finally stop calling. Of course, your mileage may vary, but I would think they don't like being sued by people who they shouldn't be calling, so they will hopefully listen.
