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.
They have another number that they use to call from, 7862454133, using the message about hanging up if you're not [insert some person I've never heard of before]. I didn't hang up and spoke to someone about taking my number off their list in searching for that person. They said they would, were polite about it and all, and a few hours later I get a call from THIS number... ugh. Hopefully it's just taking a little time to get my number out of their system. Nobody wants to talk to bill collectors, even if they're looking for someone else... and if your name is "Leesam" or something like that, you need to pay your fn bills...
Keep getting calls from this number. I answer, "Hello?, hello?, hello?" and then they just hang up. I called the number back and asked who they were. They told me they were "Halstead Financial Services" and they were collecting a debt. It was from over 10 years ago LOL. I said, "Good luck' and then I laughed at him and hung up. Just block the number :D
They've been calling me at least a dozen times a month, for several months now, but whenever I answer all I get is five seconds of silence then a disconnect. I hope they'll actually say something to me some day, so I can finally have a chance to vent my anger.
I receive daily calls from this number. A recording asking for a person I have never heard of. After about 5 calls I called the number back and talked to some guy. He insisted that he had the right number. I told him repeatedly it was not and to remove that number. But I still receive the calls daily. I just don't answer the phone when I see this number. Grrrrr.....
