Have you ever gotten a phone call from someone who wanted to speak to someone else? Wrong number phone calls can be a little annoying, but if you keep getting them over and over again, I can only imagine that it would be super frustrating.

In this story, one person gets a lot of wrong number phone calls, and they all ask the same questions.

Keep reading for all the details.

Hello, Accounts Payable?

I get these calls somewhat regularly – usually one every month or two. And it’s always the same.

-phone rings-

Me: Hello, Funktionierende speaking.

Caller: Hi. May I please speak with Accounts Payable?

It’s the wrong number.

Me: Sorry, you have the wrong number. This is my personal phone.

Caller: Can you connect me?

Me: Sorry, I don’t work at (company), and this is my personal cell phone.

Caller: I have a stack of invoices here for you, who can I forward them to?

The caller doesn’t even seem to be listening.

Me: Do you know who I am?

Caller: Of course. You are (name) with (company).

Me: As I stated earlier, I do not work for (company), and that is not my name. I’m afraid I can’t help you.

Sometimes this carries on longer, but today’s caller understood a bit faster than usual.

Getting the problem solved seems hopeless.

I don’t know how the supplier who is calling me ever gets their invoices paid, but this just blows my mind.

Every time that company goes overdue on an invoice, I get a call.

I’ve tried many times to get my number taken out of their system, but to no avail.

It must have been an employee’s number at one time.

I think I’d let every call go to voicemail that isn’t in my contacts and change my voicemail to something stating that I am not that company and not accounts payable.

Let’s see what advice Reddit has to offer.

Being nice might be the problem.

Here’s a quicker way to end the calls…

But he wouldn’t have to lie.

This person suggests speaking to a supervisor…or speaking whale.

The calls may never completely end.
