A website Silverlinecall.com exists and is a telemarketing Co. The whois record shows it's a Godaddy site. Registration info says Canada, but the name, address etc, info is totally bogus.
Get a call blocker that can block whole area codes. You can get apps for that for a cell phone and a standalone blocker (like Digitine.com call blocker) for landlines. Then program to block PACTEL area codes. (Hopefully. you don't live in the Northwest.)
