I got 4 calls from this number... Same crap. I answer, they hang up. Called back, and recorded msg says "Avanti USA".
They're now blocked from my call list (Thanks, T-Mobile).
A note to you who may get calls from "collection agencies"; You did NOT go into ANY contract to do business with these scum - they may have "bought" your debt-ed account from someone you DID go into contract with, but not them. Therefore, you may OR MAY NOT CHOOSE to do business with them.
I'm no lawyer, but I know my rights (at least where I reside). I ask them to send me a copy of my signed agreement to do business with their company. As they cannot, the calls stop for me.
Called me at work. When I called back on cell phone they wanted me to verify my information before telling me what it was about. When I refused to verify my information they hung up. I am thinking debt collectors don't have you verify the information. They go on and tell you why they are calling to get their money.
The claimed that they were Avante USA (debt collector). They try to verify information without telling you anything about who they are and what they want. Really sounds like a scammer. Very rude to my wife. They wanted phone numbers, ss #'s etc. Like everybody else. Block.
