IT WAS A PRERECORDED MESSAGE ASKING ME TO PRESS #1 IF IT WAS ME! :)))
HAD SUCH CALLS BEFORE SO I KNOW THAT THEY ARE SCAMMERS, CRIMINALS, PROBABLY CALLING FROM NIGERIA USING INTERNET NUMBER TO PRETEND THEY ARE IN THE UNITED STATES!!
BEWARE OF THESE SCAMMERS WHO WILL TRY TO STEAL YOU MONEY AND YOUR IDENTITY!!!
They call to scam people - even if you owe some money, somewhere, do not admit to them as they will steal your identity and put you in a deeper debt. Only way to pay any past due accounts is directly to the original lender or you go to court to let a judge decide.
I just received a call from this number, aparently from a Mr. Roiter (SP). Well i didnt take the call, but the message say the unusual "i'm trying to reach you ... a personal matter ... can reach me at 866-421-4998 ... i must tell this is a collection of a debt".
Got the same message "i'm trying to reach you ... a personal matter ... can reach me at 866-421-4998 ... i must tell this is a collection of a debt". Probably a scam.
The person uses a heavy male voice and doesn't say my name, doesn't give his name. He never mentioned the name of the company he is calling from/ for either. He doesn't say why he is calling, but he is looking forward to hear from me if I call his toll free 866 or 886#. All of my numbers are the Do Not Call list and all of my major debts that were greater than $1000 were paid off thru other debt collectors years ago. My last debt to my old bank was satisfied so I don't owe anyone.
He called late Feb 2013 using this other cellphone # 201-942-4118. These people use cellphones now. I'm not going to return his calls but will give all of his contact info to State Atty General & FCC.
Received a call from this number,it was dead air, hung up and sent a txt message asking who is this, only to find out that it was a landline phone number.
