Is there a ways to stop annoying prank calls or trace unknown cell phone numbers that keep appearing on your phone bills?

MOST CELL PHONE TRACES ARE SCAMS OR IF NOT AUTHORIZED INVESTIGATORS THAT HAVE AUTHORIZATION TO ACTUAL "RESTRICTED DATABASES" CHARGE OVER A HUNDRED BUCKS A WHACK! I CAN DO REVERSE CELL/LANDLINE SEARCHES FOR APROX 25$ PER SEARCH BUT THERE ARE FREE DATA BASES THAT PROVIDE "SCAM" SALES"/MARKETING & BILL COLLECTING NUMBERS I HAVE BEEN FOOLING AROUND/TESTING A FEW INCLUSIVE OF
Who Called Us
The phone is ringing, and I don't recognize the number,
All Caller ID says is, "NAME UNAVAILABLE".
Please help me figure out who is calling and what they want

Phone Number

publicity

Tried all those and no joy, thanks for trying though. I know the guys first name & a "possible" last name (but that's just a hunch). What I really want to do is work out a script and call him up. Try to find his last name and approximate location!
