When we first moved to Ohio, we kept getting fax calls at our new phone number. And I mean at all times of the day and night. We didn't have a home computer but at some point, I took a wrong-number phone call asking for Ashland Chemical. So I called the company and found out that OUR new phone number, had been a fax number for one of their labs in the same town that we lived in.
They said that since they probably still had that number in some of their directories, no telling which ones, that they would give us a fax machine to intercept the faxes and get them to stop calling us.
A guy came over, set up the fax and we kept it for a few weeks. After that, the calls dropped to nearly zero. It's a good thing, too, because I was ready to go postal on someone at the phone company for assigning us that number.
Poor Casper! I dread the bumpy-headedness that will follow for us and fear it will be bad because we're not graceful people.
