I was online yesterday. Looking for dental insurance quotes. I figured I'd be getting phone calls. And I was just telling them that I wanted to be on their no call list. No one had a problem with it until this morning. I got a phone call from this guy and I told them that I didn't want any more phone calls. And I let him go I hung up. He called me back immediately. Called me a bitch and i hung up. I was shaking. I was in tears. I couldn't believe this was happening. He proceeded to call me again * more times the last time he called me. I sent him a text stating that he was harassing me and he needed to stop. That's when it stopped. I'm still shaking about it.
