Hi, I noticed your number in my contacts without a name. Could you let me know who this is?
I'm a Realtor in Pennsylvania and he is calling me weekly. Anywhere from 3am to 8:30am. Back to back calls and let's it ring forever until I answered the phone. This stalker is out of control. Talks ***ually ****** and explicit language. I'm afraid my daughter will answer the phone!
