I received a call from ACS 215-320-0424 and spoke with a man who said he was looking for my son-in-law. I told him he did not live here, in fact, he lives 1,800 miles away. He told me that he had no way of nothing that he needed to speak with him. All this man had to do is look up our area code...doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Again, I told him he did not live here. He said he listed my husband as a reference on an application last Friday. As I was in the legal field myself, I knew something sounded fishy. If he was wanting to get a reference, then why was he so determined to get him on the phone. He said that he would give a bad reference from us, then had the nerve to ask me for my name. I replied, "absolutely not." He hung up on me. Do they actually think people are that naive?
I called the washington state attorney general's office and there's not much they can do. they said usually it's an offshore skip tracer/debt collector that just dials a bunch of numbers and first one of us that answers is the one who gets the person on the other end of the line that we can swear at. The rest of us get dead air. I can't change my phone number so i'm trying really hard not to answer (just to make the phone stop ringing). I just hope eventually they'll realize no one is answering and take my number off their list.
We received a voice mail for a "Eric Telez" from a "Julie Diaz" at this number. Her message was to call 18002200605 ex 2566. There's no one by this name and we seem to have received calls from this company before looking for someone else. I wonder what criminal/fraud angle they're going for?
