I am getting these calls at work and no one ever comes to the line. I get a recorded message saying there is no representative avaliable to take your call sorry we will have to call back.
They say they are Midland Credit Management. But if you google that term, you will get all sorts of info about scams. They are asking for my brother who has never lived here.
They called, I answered. Asked for me by name, I said "speaking". I asked who was calling and she said something like "FCR, a credit reporting agency." She said the call was being recorded and transferred me to someone else (took about ten seconds). When the next person picked up I asked who this was; she said a credit collection agency and they are collecting a debt of $200+ under my name for such-and-such Apartments in Alexandria, VA. I said this does not pertain to me and I never had any dealings with that apartment complex. She said are you "Keith XXXX with birth date June XX, XXXX?". I said "No, you have the wrong person." She said "Ok" then CLICK. How unprofessional to just hang up like that, and to give out someone's personally identifiable information.
