Advice needed from fellow DUers... [View all]

I've been a member since 2001. I don't post much as you can see and have seen members help with all kinds of issues. Here's my problem. I have been getting unsolicited calls on my cell phone for the last three weeks. I've even gotten messages on the phone in spanish and in english. The last message said, "Don't call if you are not going to. Get the call ok." The phone calls come in clumps starting in the afternoon about 2pm (I live on the east coast) and continue to 11:00pm-12:00 midnight. I put my phone on the no call list 2 weeks ago but have to wait 31 days for it to take effect. Since Friday 5/25/18 I've gotten more than 15 calls. They all originate from California. The numbers are all different. I did answer one and the person on the other end said I called them and asked what did I want.This is a form of harassment. I'm not sure who to report it to or how to stop it. Any suggestions? Thank you.
