Yeah these people are [***] (trying not to sound too mean and watching my language). Calling at 7am through to 10pm, and now on weekends.
I did answer them once and found out I was in collections with a bank that I closed the account about 6 years ago. Not sure if this is a scam since the account was closed, but either the bank or these people are going to have to deal with a very angry man in a couple weeks.
...and they are the collection agents that people have mentioned.
This number keeps calling...several times a day to my office number. When I'm here to answer it's an automated voice asking for someone I don't know. I press 3 to speak to an agent, wait forever and then the line just disconnects. I can't seem to get to speak to someone to tell them to stop calling. Would love to give this (obviously) scam number a piece of my mind!
A lot of calls from this number. Sometimes up to 3 times a day. Usually calls everyday, except weekends. Number gives you three options. Option 1, press one if you are the person they're looking for. Option 2, press two if you know this person, Option 3, press three to remove the number from calling list. Regardless of each option you go with, you are placed on hold for a while, each time I end up hanging up. To even remove your number you are placed on hold for a while.
had the same thing. calls 3-4 times a day. picked it up once. said he was collecting for telus. asking for someone who didn't even existed. weird. i'm thinking of picking up, recording them, then passing it on to the fraud division.
