Hello Jake, and others,  
I understand your frustrations and we do offer various options to help with this situation but understand we do not control the entire network. It is a far more complex issue the one would think. So, we offer listing, publishing, blocking, tracing optionsthat you can out here.  
[http://faq.centurylink.com/index.php?cat=2](http://faq.centurylink.com/index.php?cat=2) at the bottom of the page under FAQ’s  
Some features can be specific to the switch associated with your area/number/line so all may not be available on everyone’s lines. If you have a particular number that will not stop calling you do have recourse. You can call the annoyance call Annoyance Call Bureau at 800-582-0655 to report the issue.  
Regards,  
Steve

And today I heard from _ **Anne** _ at Account Services. Apparently Rachel has fled the country.
