Called on my CELL phone. Said he worked for a collection agency and that my BUSINESS phone number account was put into collection for non-payment. He wanted me to give him a credit card to pay the bill NOW so I wouldn't be charged collection fees, etc. I knew I was not late, and never had been! Other people might fall for this scam if they are not on top of things BECAUSE he knew how much my bill was for a certain month !!! How he found that out I don't know!
Received 4 calls from this number since Dec 16 2009. I answered it today. It was an automated message from RPM concerning my "business account." I own no businesses, so I knew this was probably a scam. It gave me this number: 800-618-6705 and asked that I called back immediately. So I did. It rang and rang and rang, and rang some more. Then I could hear the line switch... like the call had gotten forwarded to another line. After two rings, I think Latisha answered. I said that I got a message that didn't explain what it was about, and I asked who she was. She said she was from RPM, and asked if the number I was calling from was the number they called. Yes. Then she said she was looking for a woman whose name I'd never heard before. I told her that she was not the owner of this phone number, and Latisha told me she'd remove my number from her account. I was half-ready for her to ask who I was, and I wasn't about to give out that information.
Yes, this company calls itself RPM but has changed it's phone number and state several times. They previously operated out of Canada and were reported to business bureaus in that country. BEWARE! They will harass you and your company forever!
