These people actually had the nerve to call me at work which is very illegal for a so-called debt collector to do. They will be turned over to a lawyer for possible prosecution. Also, I work for a city so they will be turned over to the police.
Just got a call, to my cell phone, during work hours about some credit card I supposedly had back in the 90's. It was paid off to the best of my memory. I know it's not on my credit and never has been. Yet, these people actually expect to "collect" on some made-up debt I supposedly have. Got a robo-call to my home number yesterday with zero information other than a callback number of (712) 560-1251 via caller ID for a Saltzman Gerhar but the tollfree number given was 866-625-8973. It's run by XO Communications as the RespOrg/Telecom.
I've gotten a call from this exact number 3 times, I don't answer numbers i'm not familiar with, I answered this time and was greeted with an automated message telling me I had to call a number to fix a credit card debt issue, I was also left a voicemail from this so called "debt collector".
I barely turned 18, have never worked, and focused mainly on school, I never owned my own credit card, when borrowing a card from a parent or guardian for an online purchase I ensure my security and I keep record of my purchases, and I have not formed a debt of any sort to my and my families knowledge.
This is an obvious scam and most likely the DRS "toll-free" number most likely auto-sends a fee to your phone bill, I advise that no one answer or respond to these calls and have the number blocked.
