Received a call from a wireless caller 254-217-8107 (LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC – TX) which is local to where we reside. A woman left a message claiming that my husband needed to call and give this company an updated address to receive a court summons. The woman on the phone left the following number (888-247-2983) along with a claim number. At the end of the message the individual stated very rudely that my husband had been notified. Upon calling the phone number provided and got a rep by the name Diego Chris (extension 309) and said he was calling from Universal. He stated that my husband needed to appear in court on fraudulent charges and would not give any other information that I requested concerning the matter. The very next day we received a call from family stating that they also receive a phone call looking for my husband. The phone call came from the following number 409-292-0183 (LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC – TX) which is local to where our family resides. When my family ask who was calling for my husband the individual on the other end simply ended the call. The number that show up on the caller ID are local number, but when trying to dial the number back you receive the following messages: “Busy Signal” and “Due to network issues the call cannot go through and to try the call later.” When my husband called the toll free number given; he stated that a man answered the phone and then hung up on him. Several attempts later all we got when calling the number was a Universal recording to either dial an extension or “0” for the operator to assist you. When dialing the extension and/ or “0” all you hear is “The person you are trying to reach is currently on the phone. Please leave a message at the tone or press the pound sign for further options.”

On November 1, 2017, Level 3 Communications officially merged with CenturyLink.[18][19] As part of the reverse-merger, work was required to divest of 24 individual fiber optic lines spanning 30 city pairs as required by the US Department of Justice. Additionally, Level 3 was required to divest of metro Ethernet markets in Boise, Tucson, and Albuquerque to satisfy anti-trust requirements. The company complied with the divestiture of those assets.
17139993286, a look up of the number indicated it was from Level 3 Communications LLC-TX, location Huffman TX. Level 3 Communications is I believe a phone service company, not the company(ies) that are actually doing the calling but can't confirm. It's

I've received almost every type of communication's described in these 4 pages, this last time they left a 2 word message but I couldn't understand what they said. I continue blocking the numbers as they come in but it doesn't seem to stop them. I receive on average between 10 & 20 of these calls a day. For the most part these numbers aren't resl, and if you call them back the response you get a message saying it's not in service.
There worst part is when they use a spooffed number of some individual who then gets angry when accused of making a call that they swear they didn't make and their phone has no record of.
How can they be stopped?
