Keep getting this call too, on our house phone and my hubby's cell (?????). Anyway, both numbers are new, so it's kinda scary to me. The first time it was hubby's cell, then our house phone rang and I answered, but they just hung up. So I then accused hubby of an affair, to which he laughed good naturedly and said, "Calm down... I don't know who the heck that is calling, and I'm sorry it made you worried. WHAT? New Jersey???" So today I answer and it's a scary evil robot saying, "Please hold for the next available represent-a-tiiiiive." No, you hold on, Twiki... I didn't call you, you called me. Now run along and bother Buck Rogers like you're supposed to be doing. Needless to say, I hung up. We still live in the 1800's at my house and don't have caller ID. Strangely enough, I did know to call Harriet Oleson (aka *69) and whaddaya know... Fembot Harriet tells me that the number is that of "Nobody" again. Now I know that it's not my hubby's long distance mistress, but it makes me suspicious that evil robots are out there to take over the world via shady "collection" tactics!!! I kid, but really, I'm serious. This is just stupid and annoying. Enough already! I hate answering the phone anymore!!!
First call was a robot saying a name and said press 1 if you are this person..I pressed 1...then it said hold for a representative, so i hung up..They called again today and i hung up and called back shortly after and a New Jersey accent guy answered Hello. and goes is this (Name) I said no and he said he would remove my number from his computer dialer. Okay a debt collector has to identify who they are, and you should know via Mail if you have a debt out for collection if they are legitimate don't even tell them you are the right person. It will just give them an excuse to scam you.
Received two (2) unsolicited phone calls on my cell phone which I did not answer. I then decided to call the number back to identfy who or what was calling, and after numerous questions I placed to them, when they tried gleaning information from me, right off the bat, which I would NOT give, I finally was able to determine they were trying to connect my husband and an alleged debt collection. My cell phone has nothing to do with my husband, and his name isn't even associated with it (be it through caller ID, registration, or anything else.) In a nutshell, it was a very unprofessional call, wherein the person on their end tried to claim my husband had a debt, which they were trying to collect on. They would not answer MY questions, would not be specific, and when I told them to send me their alleged information, they again tried to glean my/our personal information which I refused to give! I will be reporting this experience to our state attorney general's office, along with a report to a complaint dept of the FCC.
The number 201-210-6115 calls me at least 4 or 5 times a day, but they never leave a message. I feel if it is a legit debt collector, they would leave me a message. I'm trying to repair my credit and I am sceptical of anyone calling me. I feel if it is a legal debt agency, I should have received something in the mail. I've been recording all of my bills on a spreadsheet so that I can try to avoid being scammed by someone.
