First time call from this # kept saying Hello, Hello anyone one there to answer... Just another OF THE MANY TELE-A-FOOLS that are trying to scam people. I never answer ANY CALLS THAT I DO NOT know so these IDIOTS are wasting their time.
It seems that those that are getting "Bass Esq" on their caller ID are getting calls from Portfolio Recovery. I've gotten a significant number of calls from various numbers that identify as either Portfolio Recovery or Bass Esq. From some other sites (including 800notes), they're a slimy outfit trying to collect on debts well past the statutes of limitations or debts that have been paid off. They demand your personal information but are reluctant to provide any details of the alleged debt. They've been sued, supposedly, over 1,000 times for fraud and abuse, and have lost the great majority of those cases. They just change phone numbers. Best solution? Contact your state's Attorney General Consumer Affairs Division and file a complaint.
