Got a call from Asset Acceptance asking for a person that does not live here.
The call was from an automated system, and it's message was recorded by my answering machine.
Included in the long-winded message was "By continuing to listen you are acknowledging that you are [name of person]". Such a statement is ridiculous. The message said to call "Donald Wilson" at 1-877-692-6188.
I called the number and specifically asked for "Donald Wilson" but (according to the representative) such a person was not on the internal phone directory - meaning no such person exists. A obvious (and as far as I know) unlawful deception.
I have been getting other calls asking for a person with the same name. Everytime I try to get information on where my (unlisted) phone number was acquired, they say it's "private information" and they won't disclose how they got it. That means that the calls stop only for the length of time it takes for the next collection agency to get the information. That means more calls are sure to occur in the future, from other debt collectors.
STOP CALLING MY HOUSE!
THE PERSON YOU NEED TO GET A HOLD OF DOES NOT LIVE HERE!
I WILL PROSECUTE YOU IF YOU DO NOT STOP CALLING MY HOME!
PEOPLE GET THEIR NUMBERS CHANGED ALL THE TIME, I MOST LIKELY RECIEVED AN NUMBER THAT BELONGED TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
I continue to get regular calls from this Washington D C phone number looking for someone that is not at my address. Their automated voice prompts you to hit a certain number if yu do not want them to call you back, but it's a waste of time, they keep calling. Today I answered their call and attempted to find out who they were and why they were calling, but I couldn't understand half of what was being said. The guy on the other end of the line spoke in such a thick Asian sounding accent and I just told him to have someone call that spoke fluent English and hung up. I'll let you know if they call back.
I'm happy to see a place where this type of information can be shared about these bottom feeders. I really like the idea of forwarding their call to a number that costs them. I think everyone should do it. Their company name alone should tell you what their all about.....Accepting any assets you have.
Yes that number has called my home forever , and ask for me , says its a important matter to be settled lol idots ..i dont have any matters ..this needs to be takin care of
The person you are searching for has never lived at this address. The person you are looking for is Kenneth E Fontenac. We do not know him and would appreciate your not calling. We receive calls from this number twice a day every day. We do not know how you got this number for this person, because we have had this number for twenty years. Thank you.
