I do not answer unknown numbers. Someone called today at 3:32 PM and when my answering machine picked it up they hug up. The caller ID said Atlanta, GA up upon further investigation I found it’s just another number that belongs to Portfolio Recovery. Portfolio Recovery has also called us from the following phone numbers:

I looked up this Portfolio Recovery on the web and found it belongs to a debt collector - http://www.portfoliorecovery.com. The website claims “Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC are here to help you pay your debt. Call 800.772.1413 to speak with an Account Representative…”
Since I don’t have any current or past-due debts my guess is they are trying to SCAM money out of me. My phone number is registered on the national Do Not Call List but since this is a debt collection company they are allowed to call you and reporting them has no result …”
