There were no reports so I called back. Google tells me nothing. This was 5 minutes of my time that I will never get back............
evidently this is a debt collection company who was asking for another person with the same name almost. I told her my address and she said that she was looking for a person on another street.
DEBT COLLECTORS
NOTHING IS GOING TO STOP THESE LAZY COLLECTION AGENCIES who call everyone with the same name instead of looking up the right one (all Joe smiths instead of Joe Smith Jr. or Joe H. Smith instead of Joe P. Smith)
Some collection agencies are trying to collect on 10 - 20 year old debts.

This was posted on this web site:
The Fair Debt Collection Act (FDCPA) was put into place To give people legal rights when it comes to collection agencies and collection attorneys. If this collection agency is calling you for a debt you owe or a debt that is not yours, they could be violating your rights.
IF YOU ARE BEING CONTACTED BY ANY COLLECTION AGENCY, get in contact with: http://www.fdcpacompliance.com/ asap so they can determine what rights these bottom feeders have violated and take action. More and more American’s find themselves being hounded by debt collectors as a result of our country’s recent economic downturn. The good news is that harassment is an illegal act according to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The great news is that each infraction is PUNISHABLE UP TO $1,000.00 TO THE CONSUMER for statutory damages, and possibly more for actual damages! The offending agency also has to pay your attorney’s fees. The only thing that the consumer generally has to do is help to gather and provide information.
This number called today. Actually, they called my FAX machine. Which rings in with a slightly different ring tone. However, in the unlikely possibility that there was an actual person rather than a robot caller all the caller gets is a FAX tone. I entered them into my call blocker so I won't get anything from them in the future.
Samo, samo. See above. Repeat performance. Again to my FAX machine. They, like most of these people, sure seem to waste a lot of $time on useless calls. 4 days since last try.
