This is a collection agency, Receivables Performance Management.. If they continue to call you in error call them back and explain to them that the person they're looking for is not at that number and you will file suit against them based on the TCPA.
keeps calling, leaves no message, when answered long pause before someone says anything. told them to take my name off the list and woman tried to argue with me and I hung up on her!
Called today at 8:30 in the morning asking for my child. I told her I was that person. She then rattled off an address, I told her that was not the right address. She then rattled off the last 4 digits of someone's SSN. I told her that was wrong. She then tried to get rude and tell me that the name she asked for came up with this number. I told her she was wrong and that the name she asked for was a popular name and she needed to do more research. I then told her not to call here again or the next call would be with my lawyer. She then apologized and hung up. Lets see if I get the regular nightly call now.
Please realize that:
Your post here will NOT stop the calls. We did not call you. Your caller probably does not read these messages. We cannot block calls to you. We cannot put you on or take you off a list.The National Do Not Call list is respected by legitimate telemarketers, but is ignored by criminal telescammers. Surveys, charities, political calls, NON-sales calls and certain preexisting business calls are exempt from the DNCL.YOU are your own best defense against unwanted calls! You can use a call blocking app, device, service or procedure to block such calls.
Here are two pages of links to (mostly government) sites in Canada and the USA were you can report phone scams, or learn more about them:
1) First, look elsewhere on this site for an Article, entitled "Where to Report Phone Crime". (It may appear in the column to your right).
2) For a more frequently updated list of complaint sites, with links to government web pages, look here:
