I got a very strange call from this number today - I answered my phone as I usually do, saying "Hello, this is Joan!" And the man said "Hello Karen, this is Mr Van Stiles." I didn't say anything for a moment, and he said "this is about the civil suit?" I told him he had the wrong number and he read me my cell number and I said, "that is my number but I am not Karen." Then he said "you don't know Karen Huranga?" And I said "no." He said "sorry for the inconvenience, Joan" and hung up. So he clearly heard me when I answered with my name -- and remembered it enough to say my name at the end, so I am not sure why he called me Karen at the beginning?
Very strange. I think it may be some kind of scam to find out my name? I am not sure why...
I have received several calls from this number on my work cell phone,I do recall one of the messages being from a Mr. Richardson,and one also claiming to be a law firm. It is clear from the posts above that this is a collection agency,and it is illegal from them to represent themselves as a law firm. I stated to the man that I had never heard of the person he was trying to contact,and that the phone was a company phone,and was hung up on.
