They called my land line today with a robocall message: "If this is Brian R---- or spouse, press 1 now. If not, hang up immediately." No option to talk to them if they are calling the wrong number.
As far as I have learned, this guy never had my number though another guy these agencies call for did have my number 2 years ago. (I've had the number a year now.) If it is Transworld Systems as an earlier post claims, you can find their contact information on-line.
YouMail is an app for visual voicemail not to block numbers....that's false. The only way you can block a certain number is if you call your service provider. They usually ask you for a very "good reason" and probably some money as well.
That is SO WEIRD! I just got a call on my cell phone. Unlike most cell phones, I have the kind of Caller ID that does not just show the name and number of only those in your contacts list, but rather it is like land line Caller ID where if the number is associated with a Person's or Business's name, that will come through as well. I answered the call and it was an automated message saying something like this is an important call for Gloria So-And-So, if you are Gloria So-And-So (or a spouse), press 1, otherwise, you are requested to hang up IMMEDIATELY! I am a male, with an obviously male name and had they talked to me, an obviously male voice, so how they got my cell phone number and how it is associated with the name Gloria So-And-So (whom I never heard of) is beyond me.
I just called it back and a man named Phillip just answered. I didn't want to deal with him, so I just hung up. It's definitely a collections agency, based on his greeting.
Answered a call from this number today. Got a voice recording which said "Press 1 if you are 'so and so' (gave the name of someone who used to work for me); if you are not 'so and so' or the spouse of 'so and so' please hang up immediately.
Probably some collection agency who had this guy's work phone number. The caller ID said: FRANKLIN
