Got a call early this morning from 513-605-7447 (Caller ID = CINCINNATI OH). A human left a message: "This message is for <she gave my name>. Please call 800-347-8209, ask for Ms. xxx, ref number nnnnn. Please call." Based on previous posts, and the fact that they wouldn't identify themselves or their business, I didn't call either number. I've also added an equivalent post to the blog for 800-347-8209.
This is a collections agency. They contacted me about a friend I had 10 years ago that "put me down as a reference/contact". My problem was that they were calling my cell phone, which I didn't have when I new him. It took speaking to a manager to have my number taken off the account, but was possible...or so I thought. I just received another call from them. This time they couldn't find any record of me, until I told them who I had been contacted about in the past. Then, they found my name on that account with a notation not to call me anymore. She apologized. I asked about just having my information deleted so there would be no future mistakes. I guess we'll see.
this is crazy.I got a message on my home answering machine from Tammy at 513 605 7447. She wanted me to call her back regarding questions about my neighbor Mr Jones. [***]. The calls arent really for me, since I have exellent credit, but my boyfriends family member used our phone number as a referance once, and we just keep going on a list that gets passed on to others,I guess.
