Can verizon track down why we get so many misdialed calls to our number?

Within the last year or so, the number of calls we're getting that are misdialed has become ridiculous. We get more "wrong numbers" than real phone calls, and it seems to me that there must be some illegal activity going on behind them.
These calls are always from people whose caller id names show up as being Hispanic, and most of the time if we don't answer within a couple rings, they hang up before the answering machine even gets to pick up. And on the occasions when we do pick up quickly, they either hang up immediately or are clearly surprised that we answer in English. The few-ring hangup makes me wonder if our number is close to some popular drug-dealer - why else would people hang up if they don't get an answer by the 3rd ring?
While I'd rather not have to change my number, I'd at least like someone at Verizon to see if they can figure out who these people are really trying to call, and maybe let the intended recipient know their "friends" aren't so good at getting in touch with them... and potentially getting the authorities involved if there's something illegal being carried on. Or maybe get the intended recipient of these calls a new number (assuming they are also with Verizon) if I've had my number longer than theirs.
Or should I just take to "mis-dialing" the phone numbers I'm getting in my caller-id log and hanging up on them, randomly, at all odd hours like they've been doing to us?

You can call Vz Unlawful Call Center at 1-800-518-5507. There you will be able to find out what Vz can do to help you get rid of these calls. This is likely only open during business hours.
Hope this helps.

HT1689 can i track down my ipod location using my serial number?

No. The SN will only help identify the iPod if it is recovered.

How can i track down a stolen ipod touch with just my serial number

how can i track down a stolen ipod touch with just my serial number

You can't. The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours IF it is recovered.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

No, the only way to track it is "Find My iPhone". And the app has to be installed and activated before your device is lost.

My computer was stolen, how can I track down a serial number?

Hi All-
I'm in need of some assistance. My Mac was stolen during an apartment burglary. It was a gift from a family member who doesn't have any type of receipt. I apparently didn't register my Mac either, my iPad and iPod yes, my stolen laptop of course not. My insurance company is requesting the serial number or some sort of proof of ownership. Any ideas how I can track down the serial number?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you!

Have the family member who made the gift contact the place of purchase if possible. Most business records of computer sales have info like serial numbers

Can apple track down my lost or stolen ipod touch?

is there any way apple can track down my lost or stolen ipod touch?

No, but if you have activated Find my Iphone/ipod on it then you could have a small chance of locating it if it is around alot of wifi hot spots.

How can i track down my ipod touch after i lost it 2g?

i lost my ipod touch on thursday and i want to c if anyone knows how to track it down without the mobile me app or any app for gps

You can only track the iPod if you had it set up with FindMyiPod/iPhone. If you didn't I'm afriad you are out of luck and we'll have to look for it the same way you would any other lost item.
Sorry.

Can anyone tell me why im getting this error while doing expdp?

Hi,
My question is
I have a script scheduled in cronjob which is having stmts for taking export backup for many schemas.
Before doing that it will remove all the dmp files in the directory to create new dmp files everyday.
But yesterday, it took backup for only one schema, it failed for remaining schemas.
So currently one dmp file is there in dmp destination.
and previous day log files are there in log destinaton.
So, after checking this i have taken logical backup for a single schema in background.
then i checked in another terminal whether any backup is going on or not.
It was showing nothing even though i have given the backup manually.
So, i tried to take the backup again normally (not in background)
then it was giving the following errors.
ORA-31634: job already exists
ORA-31664: unable to construct unique job name when defaulted
Can any one tell why this happens?
Thanks in advance.

Error:     ORA-31664 (ORA-31664)
Text:     unable to construct unique job name when defaulted
Cause:     The job name was defaulted, and the name creation algorithm was
     unable to find a unique job name for this schema where the table
     name (for the master table) didn't already exist.
Action:     Specify a job name to use or delete some of the existing tables
     causing the name conflicts.

How can I track down what is filling my HD but clears with a restart?

Recently started seeing 12GB of free disk space slowly filling over the day and I'm uncertain how best to track down and remove the cause. Towards the end of the day, I see the "startup disk almost full" error and my computer comes to a crawl. A restart rescues the space, so I'm guessing /tmp or swap?
Anyone have suggestions on starting to track down the problem? Thanks.

I'd consider using an external drive (flash or mass storage) for the files you use less often to free up disk space. You have a lot of inactive memory and your swap is around 2GB so you aren't too bad there. Obviously launching iPhoto might cause some swapping as well as iTunes.
Was this screenshot with iTunes/iPhoto opened or closed?
I think you meant to ask this question of the OP rather than me.

I do not receive any bills from you and then i get a past due notice. i can't figure out why i get a past due notice but no initial bill?

I do not receive any bills from you. Somehow, I get a past due notice but no bill initially. How can that be

You can see your bill online anytime you like. In fact you'll get your bill online before you get it in the mail. By the way did it occur to you the post office could have lost it? (removed) Even your smartphone has access to your bill via the My Verizon app.

How can I track down a lost MacbookPro without icloud?

Hi there,
This morning I somehow left my macbook Pro on the train.
I did not have icloud or Find My Mac settings turned on (didn't know about it), or any other anti theft apps.
I have my dropbox installed and active, and I have the Mac's serial number.
Is there anyway I can track it down? I'm hoping someone would hand it in but I'm anxious whille waiting. haha.
Cheers!
D.

No, you cannot track it given your facts. Report to the police and to the train officials.

Strange DNS, Group Policy & Active Directory Issues - Can't track down root issue!

For the last few weeks, we've been getting complaints, from our developers, about not being able to authenticate on various systems. The issues were hit & miss but still problematic enough to warrant our looking into it. It seems to be getting
worse... I now have new servers that aren't getting group policy updates. They may get some, like the list of local admins but won't pick up NTFS permissions for folder-access. Those that pick up the AD group full of local admins have trouble
authenticating members of the group. Some were showing event log entries regarding authentication issues due to being unable to contact an AD DC. We reloaded that DC but many of the issues still persist. At this point, I'm running
out of places to look for ideas. I've spent the last week looking up Event Log IDs and looking though their meanings and possible remedies but, again, the issues persist. It doesn't seem to matter what the OS is. We've been seeing
this on 2008, 2008-R2 & 2012-R2.
Here are some examples of events I'm seeing. I can't figure out the root cause(s).

Note that these servers are sitting in OUs that are full of other servers that don't have these issues. These GPOs have been in place for years. I suspect there's a deeper issue with AD, GP or a combination thereof. The group policy issues
seem to only affect freshly loaded servers...
