| Dec 10, 2011 at 4:03 | comment | added | Mox | @Ian: does the beeping sound like a fax handshake? If so, you could try temporarily forwarding your phone to a fax machine and receiving a few faxes. This won't solve your problem, but it might provide some clues about the caller and his motive. | |

| Dec 8, 2011 at 19:43 | comment | added | Ramhound | There also is not an infinite number of numbers that be used to spoof. Ask if how many different numbers are being used exactly. I am sure they have all this data...Just have to get them to hand it over to you...If they cannot then complain enough to the right people. | |
| Dec 8, 2011 at 19:38 | comment | added | Ramhound | I find it hard to believe the phone company cannot tell you who is calling you. I would suggest getting that court order. It sounds like they are giving you the run around. I understand the reason changing the number is not an ideal solution, this is a problem that your provide should be able to resolve, I dare say if they cannot then perhaps threating to get a new provider might help. | |
| Dec 8, 2011 at 19:34 | comment | added | Ian | I believe that is going to be our next step. This has been going on for 2 months now. The telco tech said it should just pass since they aren't getting their calls through, ha, yeah not slowing down at all... | |
| Dec 8, 2011 at 18:04 | comment | added | Ian | @GeorgeBailey I can't recall for sure if they did or not. I want to say that they don't. | |
| Dec 8, 2011 at 17:53 | comment | added | 700 Software | @Ian, Did they actually stop when the mail box was full? (minor detail) | |
| Dec 8, 2011 at 17:52 | comment | added | Ian | @SteveS We tried, but they pretty much said it was impossible due to the spoofing or there was nothing in the field to trace on. They also tried to tell us we needed a court order to get a trace started, but then said it would be pointless because they have no way of figuring it out. | |
| Dec 8, 2011 at 17:50 | comment | added | Ian | We get the occasional call during the day, but it's not that common maybe once or twice a week between 7 AM and 3:30 PM. I stayed late one night, and around 5 PM the calls would come in every 3 minutes and literally didn't stop until the mail box was full. | |
| Dec 8, 2011 at 17:44 | comment | added | Steve | Could you get the phone company to trace the call to find where it's originating beyond just looking at the return number? | |
| Dec 8, 2011 at 17:30 | comment | added | Ramhound | "and also hardly occur at all during the day." This indicates the problem exists while you are at work. | |
