Came up on caller ID as the number written twice rather than name & number so I was on my guard. However, as soon as I said hello, caller hung up. This happens a lot in our house with these bogus numbers so I am wondering if our system takes a few moments to identify it as bogus, then cuts out automatically --- ? (We are on the Do Not Call Registry) Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that all these scammers should get us on the line & then just hang up, does it? Strange way to do business, whether for good or ill. The only thing I find curious about this number is that the few complaints I could find on line were all from 5 years ago - ?! That's why I'm reporting this ... this may be a reactivated bogus number which will soon be sprouting all kinds of comments on here! We'll see ...
They called looking for the woman who had the phone number befor me. In the middle of my request to have them remove my number from their records, the woman hung up on me. I called back and got a man, who said that my number was no longer on the account. I pressed a little about the previous agent hanging up on me and he just got very annoyed as well and asked what I wanted him to do about it.
I called the number back from my landline...this company is called Regent...and they were looking for someone name Terrence Jones...I stated to the guy that answered the phone that I guess this is a collection agency...and he replied that would be a good guess. He told me they would remove my number from the list.

Eleanor again - the above was February and now this is May & they just called again. Called them back, got a snatch of music then silence - did not want to hold in case this was from outside the country & I was being charged for it. If they are a collection agency (& they sound like it) - then they've definitely got the wrong number!
