Posted on behalf of my colleague Lora Pabst:

Over the past year, hundreds of you have asked Whistleblower for help. While we can't investigate each tip, we want to share more of what you tell us. In 2009, we started publishing a few tips each week to stimulate online discussion and create ways for our readers to help each other. Unlike our news stories, we have not verified this information, so we do not include the names of the parties involved. If you have a tip, send it to whistleblower@startribune.com.

For almost a year, a Minneapolis woman has been getting calls from an online phone service. The calls come at all hours and a voice asks the woman for a "two digit confirmation code that you received online."

"I never signed up for it or had even heard of it before this," she wrote. "It's driving me and my family crazy! It usually calls our house in the middle of the night and just keeps calling and calling, so we have to unplug all our phones. We tried to get our phone company to block the number but they wouldn't."

The calls occasionally stop when she complains, but then they start up again. Whistleblower is still waiting for a response from the online phone service.

Has this ever happened to you?
