I don't know about this number and I don't have any debt. From what I see in the comments, I would strongly suggest you never give anyone any information unless you know them and never give out account numbers, banking information or SSN. This does sound like scamming. No reputable company would be rude and threatening..
A guy named Lee Thornhill called me and said that he was with the federal government and that this was a federal government line. He said that i owed my school 5,376 dollars (which I do) and that they would settle for 3,738 dollars. He yelled at me and was very disrespectful. I do not like getting in trouble so yes i gave him my bank information. He said i was frauding the government bc I was taking out student loans he is supposed to take the money out of my account wednesday i really need to know if this is a scam!
This company comes up as commercial recovery basically a debt collector he tried to come off a little agressive but i told him fuzz u do what you have to do before he had a chance to say anything else i hung up on him .
I got a message on my home phone this morning at 7:17 am...fortunately my phone company has records of time calls come in. They never said who they were calling for and I am not sure what this is about. Do not know how to handle.
Update - I called the number it was for someone else and the secretary was very polite and said she would remove my number from their records. I never spoke to this Lee Thornhill.
