I got a call a few minutes ago with caller ID "Policemens" and the number ID 580-857-0163. The guy, Ray, asked how I was doing so I told him about my lousy day then started to tell him to take my number off his list. He hung up in the middle of my request.

That pissed me off so I've now reported him to the national and the Florida Do Not Call lists.
