This comes over as an unknown number leaves a message as bank or check fraud. I was tired of the calls. When they told me it was a loan advance or a capital one. I said sorry I have never taken a loan and capital one is paid. They then informed me I will be receiving papers to appear in court in 7-10 business days. oh yay.
Both phones rang with an "out of area" number. Answered and pressed 9 (or I could have called back on this number). Spoke to a "law firm" (Worldwide Recovery). Asked them to stop calling and send the paperwork (which I guess they don't have or they would have done that already).
I get this call daily for someone whose name isn't remotely like mine. I've had my phone number for two years. I have called 214-550-5041 three times to tell them to take my number off their list because I'm not Geraldine Martin. Every time I've told them they have the wrong number and to stop calling me, they say "okay" and then the calls keep coming! I am so frustrated I can't get it to stop. Who do I report these people to!?
Try reading the material I linked to the other day. It's hosted by the two federal agencies with oversight of debt collectors. Attorneys general are also valid complaint stops. But if you want to cure your own problem with runaway skip trace calls, it's best if you take direct action rather than wait for a rescue which may never come.
Mistrust of any ''wrong number'' claim is standard procedure at all the rogue collection agencies. You will never get satisfaction from a verbal request, and number blocking turns into an arms race you will lose. I see others are reporting possible business names. You need that and a working mailing address to send a ''cease communication'' notice via USPS Certified with return card. This is the method promoted by the FTC and many consumer watchdogs, and the only way to set a legal landmine, as such a notice is ignored at their risk of a lawsuit from you.

I have received calls from this outfit. finally got tired of the hassel and called them back and told them "ok, if you have my employer and address send the papers to me." That was 6 months ago and nothing has arrived in the mail or other wise.....
