Got a call from John Frick of GC Services in St. Louis Missouri. He left a call back number. I called back and had to hold for a few minutes. Turned out to be a bill collector looking for my ex husband.
This is just for information: Going after debts of a deceased person is the fastest growing part of the debt collection industry. They are usually not legally collectable, but bottom dwellers buy these for pennies on the dollar. The potential profit by shaming/intimidating relatives into paying is large.
Two calls from this number so far. Got someone to answer when I called back. He claimed the company was a debt collection agency called "GC Services". They have a website, and at least appear to be a "legit" debt collector. However, I have no debt. They may have been looking for a previous holder of my phone number or something, but my temper did not allow me to question them long enough to get that info.
They said they were looking for my ex-husband......I asked how did they get this number. They said it was listed as a contact for him on paperwork OR they got it when they were doing a skip trace...........
Then they called my parents house 1000 miles away..........weird
