There is an old man who keeps calling my phone. He has called 103 times since October 10th. It's crazy. He is in a nursing home and is trying to call his wife. I feel bad because he is trying to call her but he can't and I know he's frustrated. But I'm frustrated too. I have to keep my phone on silent because it rings constantly. I really want the calls to stop. Here are a few things we have tried:
1. I called his phone number and kindly told him that he had the wrong number and that all his calls are coming to my phone, not his wife's phone.
- He called back and left a voicemail for his wife saying that some girl called him and told him he had the wrong number and asked his wife to look into it.
2. I picked up the phone when he was calling me and said, "Sir, you have the wrong number."
- He responded by saying, "No! You have the wrong number!"
3. Jared picked up the phone when he was calling at 2:00 in the morning and said, "Sir, I know you're trying to get a hold of your wife, but if you keep calling this number you are not going to reach her."
- He responded by saying, "It will go through eventually."
4. I changed my voice mail to, "You've reached Stephanie Clay's phone. Stephanie Clay is unable to answer her phone. If you leave Stephanie Clay's phone a message, then Stephanie Clay will call you back."
- He is still calling. He just doesn't leave messages anymore which was the best part because his messages were funny.
I don't want to be mean and I don't want to change my phone number. What else can I do?
