I got my phone a little over a month ago, and have gotten at least three calls a day for the last month!! Finally this morning, they called and woke me up at 8:30 am. I asked who it was, and they said "This is Jessie, is D---- available?" I responded by asking what company they were from, and she told me it was MRS, was this D---- S------. I told them that no, this was not the person they were looking for, and I had already told the company that they were going to get hit with a harrassment charge, and thank you for giving me their information, because that makes it a bit easier for me to follow through on this. Unbelievable.
Number called. Caller ID said that intiated from Virginia. Called back was told that there was someone elses name attached to my phone number. They were a law firm trying to get a hold of someone else. Told them that I was the only person associated with this phone and they told me that they would remove my number.
This number 571-431-1962 called me at work, collection agencies are not supposed to call your work number. I checked an area code list and 571 is supposedly Northern VA, which isn't to odd since I live in MD and work in DC. But I didn't recognise the 571 area code. I just think 703 for VA. Anyway since I didn't recognize the number and was at work I just let it ring to voice mail. They didn't leave a message.
If this is a collection agency then it's a new one on me.
They just called a second time (within about an hour maybe hour and a half) I answered with my standard "company name this is my name speaking.." and got an automatic voice saying "Please Hold for an important call" SCheah Right.
Well well this number also called me at home (at least once, about 10 minutes after the last time they called me at work). NO message, but caller ID at home identifies it as "Washington DC".
I'm not sure if they called more than once at home because my caller ID only lists the last time a number calls (I have witnessed it while home so I know this is what it does) even if they call multiple times a day.
