This is the collection agency, ARS Recovery Services, out of Montana. Their calls generally come from their from their 866-552-1377 number. In my experience of receiving their calls during the past 2 months, all but one have been robot calls with an automated message for ONLY a specific person that they name. Their message, depending on the version, requests either that THAT PERSON call them at 406-755-9522 (their main number) to retrieve their IMPORTANT message OR the robot requests that you hang up if you're not that person - giving you no opportunity to question their call nor advise them that they have the wrong number. Even if the call goes to an answering machine, the robot message will continue with something like, "if you continue to listen to this message we will assume that you are (so-and-so)". They have only called me once weekly - but, as bill collectors go, that will probably get progressively worse. Bill collectors are prevented by law from discussing the specifics of their call with anybody other than their target but they are allowed to question 3rd parties for any information that they would provide. Today was a little different. This afternoon I received a call which the Caller ID identified as ARS Recovery Service but it was from their main number, 406-755-9522. I answered hoping that a real person was calling this time so I could tell them that they had the wrong number. However, when I answered, all I heard was a male mumbling, "mocha coffee, iced blend". Maybe he thought he was calling Starbucks to place an order or perhaps someone was taking his afternoon coffee break order. Apparently that was more important than talking to me in real time because he hung up on me. AND THEN, 1 minute later, their robot called with their automated message from their toll-free number 866-552-1377 ... and SORRY, I had to hang up.
