If you do have a bad debt..... make sure you request a verification of the debt in writing. if they can't come up with that, you are off the hook completely

Received a call from the same number. A prerecorded voice says they are from Harris & Harris ( a debt collection agency). I attempted to call them back to remove my number from the list and is kept hanging up on me. Apparently my new cell phone number use to be some dead beat's old number.
Got a scrambled message on my ans machine. Tried calling the number (312.265.9029) many times and found out it was Harris & Harriscolection agency. A recording said to hold on to be transferred to an operator, each time i was immediately cut off. A dial tone would blast in my ear. Finally, I called the number (866-645-4479) listed above and got through to a VOICE and he used my phone # to check and asked for a David... a name unfamiliar to me. He told me it was a mistake and would delete my phone # from their records. I smell a SCAM! Anyone else?
