Ripoff Harrassing phone calls with no end in sight!

For the last few months, we have been getting phone calls from an "out of area" number. When we answer the phone, we hear a "beep", as if someone on the other line is pressing the number button on their end. We had no idea what to do about this. We were not able to *69 these calls. These calls would come sometimes at 3 in the morning, sometimes every ten minutes for several hours. They have a knack for calling during the baby's naptime!
A few weeks ago we started getting calls from an automated system ("Please take time to return this important call..."). We ignored them for a while, then finally called back. The woman who answered the phone had a very thick accent and was very hard to understand. She asked for my phone number and I gave it to her. She mumbled something about "checking the system". I told her that I was calling to have my number removed from her system. She mumbled something else, I caught the words "your house". I figured that this was a mortgage company trying to sell me a refi deal (we get a lot of those). I told her that I don't have a house, that I live in an apartment. After a long pause, she said that she was removing my number from the system.
Out of curiosity, I Googled Allied Interstate. Yikes! They are not a mortgage company! After reading all of these reports, I am starting to suspect that they are the ones who were sending the "beeping" calls. I haven't heard from them in a few days.

I am a little worried, though. I am having my husband pull a copy of our credit report today, just to check it. We have had credit problems in the past (more than five years ago) but all of our old debts have been "paid in full" and we have the documentation to prove it. All of our current debts (student loans and a car loan) are up to date.

So I guess now I am just waiting to see if they call back. If they do, or if we get anymore of the mysterious "beeping" calls I am going to call the phone company and see what we can do about finding out where they come from. I am getting tired of it! We unplug our phone at naptimes and after 8pm because of these calls.
Just thought I would add my experience to the pile. Does anyone have any advice? Think I should be more proactive? Thanks!
