+1. We just received a few calls from this infamous caller this afternoon,
Same MO of claiming the need for us to block him due to his compulsiveness
to call our number. Aside from his name, no other information was shared.
There are no requirements that I'm aware of other than if they are being
abusive to block him. Just based on the number of responses to the thread
this seems pretty targeted than a general mental condition, but just my two
cents. Same telephone number as posted. I'm suggesting to our folks to
stay vigilant.
