Hi all. Out of the blue, I started getting these calls from different reps from a company called LHR saying that they have an important decision to make and that i need to call ASAP, etc. I have no idea who they are and they don't show up on my CRs. My question is, how do I get them to stop calling me as it's becoming annoying. They've only left voicemail messages so far as they always call when I'm at work. Should I call them back or does anyone have an address I can send a validate or cease and desist letter to? Any help would be appreciated.
