Automated message asking for someone with a garbled name which might have been mine. Calling back, I talked to an operator that asked if I was this same person, and wanted me to verify the last four digits of my social security number. Since the numbers they gave me weren't even close to my SSN, and repeated demands to know what this was about were completely ignored, I hung up. I used *70 to block my number when I called back, hoping to talk to someone else. All I got was a recorded message stating that the company was "West Asset Management". A quick Google search informed me that it's a scammy debt collector or some such. My credit and debts are clear. Blocked the number.
