Sprint, TMobile, and Verizon customers are having the same problem with telemarketers using your or other individual’s numbers. Which other wireless carrier will you go to?  Federal government and wireless phone companies are working on helping identify and block telemarketers. I hav set my phone to only allow contacts to ring through to me, other non coNtact numbers go to voicemail. 

add 1888-573-1302 to your list.  Fake student loans.  & used a familiar name.

No one here is keeping any sort of list that gets added to by someone posting a number.
