So I posted an ad on craigslist trying to sell my car, I got a text message the following day from a number that wanted to buy my car I tried calling and this number calls me saying his name is Steve and then proceeded to text me to use paypal to pay me for the car, got an email from possibly paypal saying 21 grand was sent to my paypal account and all I had to do was send 500 dollars for an agent to pick up the car..I knew something was up so I called paypal and they said basically it's a fraud forwarded them all the emails and "Steve" from this number called me back "What happened" I told him I just had gotten off the phone with paypal and they had clarified that all those emails and everything going on is a scam. Then he hung up on me.
Received a call on my cell phone from (385) 202-2686, asked for a woman, when I said this was my cell I had had for 10 years they just hung up in my ear.
Caller claimed to be from a debt collection agency. Called about a debt that wasn't mine. I told him I'd never heard of the person he was calling for, but he was very rude and insisted that I was lying. Then he kept demanding that I give him my personal information including bank account numbers. Ended up having to hang up on him due to his "colorful" language when I refused to comply.
Caller asked me for a person that I never herd of. I told him that I never herd of that perosn and he then said that he thought that I was him and he started threatening me with violence. He started yelling and said that I was going to "Get It". I called the number back from a different phone and it first took me to a voice mail for Keith Robberts. I called again from the same phone and it took me to Halsted Finincal services in Illinois and the lady said that my number was in the system as Robbert Shelton but there is no record of anybody calling me and then she hung up on me. I then called a third time from my cell that I was originally called on and it sounded like the person that called me and he identified his self as Denis Mitchels. He told me to not call him back again and he hung up on me.
THEY CALL AND STATED THAT THIS WAS A CALL FOR COLLECTION AND IF I DID NOT RESPONSE WITHIN 24 HOURS OTHER ACTION TO COLLECT A DEBT. THEY DID LEAVE A COMPANY NAME OR A PERSON TO TALK TO.
I get calls twice a day from this number saying the message is for someone who I haven't talked to for several years. I just hang up, but it's irritating
