I hate that also. Plus today received a call from a Theona. When asked who with she asked if it was me, I said yes and was very rude after that. Told me well I guess you are just screening your calls so I'll call back later. I tried to tell her that I was in the middle of a test for a job, but she hung up. This company by far has to be the rudist bunch of people I have seen. There has also been several time that I have answered the phone and they hung up before I could even say hello.
I recently received a voicemail while away from home. The caller identified herself as Lola Martinez from Credit Control, LLC, stated she was calling to collect a debt and gave a return (888) phone number. Then went on to state her client was proceeding on with the person's file, in addition to some other information.
This wouldn't have been a problem if she had called the correct person. Instead, she left private information for a third party (me) to hear. Even if she had called the correct number, I feel the call was in violation of FTC rules, since I am not the spouse.
Yes, the mini-Miranda (which I, personally, think is a joke) was at the beginning of the message but I am disabled and had the phone on speaker. It's difficult not to hear what is being said when you're trying to get back to the phone to delete the message.
