That was a great read! And thank you for providing sources on the laws.

I've been getting cell phone calls for years now, several times a week, from companies asking for someone who isn't me, mostly debt collectors, but also home security sales. It's always the same name, and I'm pretty sure this person is using my phone number as a fake number for themselves (or maybe it's just an area code mistake or something). I've told them many times they have a wrong number and to stop calling.

Do you know if this still applies when someone else has a relationship with the business but is providing false information?

I'm not great at reading legal documents, but it seems like the definition of telemarketer only applies to sales and charitable donations (so it won't apply to the creditors)?
