The woman asked for **** who must have had this number before us. I told the woman that and asked her not to call this number again. I get too many calls for this *** person. Added their number to my block call list.
They called asking for Joshua who is my fiancé and I had no clue how they got my number. He has gotten other calls saying he owes money when he doesn't from these types of numbers threatening him and saying they have his ss number. I would be very cautious...
I received a call from these people. The operator called me by name (must have been through Caller ID) and said "Please hold ______ _______." I then was connected to a very rude guy that sounded as if he was threatening me. He said "if you are so and so, you need to know about this or you're going to find out the hard way." I told them I wasn't going to talk to them about anything until they told me what company they were with. They would not even disclose that information so as far as I'm concerned they can eat a bag of smashed anuses.
Well thats funny because they leave the name of the collection agency on my voice mail all the time, with a little disclaimer stating that if you are not the person for whom this message is intended, then hang up or delete the message. It makes absolutely no sense that the agency cant identify them selfs until they identify you. Thats a crock of [***], they are most certainly being "tricky"
Collection agencies hire people to make those calls and those people get paid by commission which creates a hostile conversation be ause the employee could care less. I have had people call my grandparents telling them they were with the state police. Just so you guys know, Texas has state troopers. And impersonating a peace officer is against the law. Also, credit agencies will fraudulently re-open closed and settled cases in order to make free money. That has happened to me too. They were reported and shut down. Know your rights, and know what is on your credit report. If it is supposed to be off your credit report, and then all of a sudden you owe someone else for the same thing, that as well is against the law.
