RE: 888-547-1354<br />This number just recently began calling me 2-3 times a day and I want them to stop. I tried calling the number, which is supposedly based out of Stateline, NV, (Barret Drive) but there was no answer or voice mail, only a rapid busy signal. They a few times a day and never leave a message. I want to find out who is calling, why they are calling, and who I need to punch in the freaking throat to make them stop harassing me and leave me the hell alone.
