He knew my first & last name and said he was calling on behalf of Duke Power & Light. He said that I should settle this matter about a bond for $1000.00 before it goes to court. I told him he had the wrong guy. I have never had any dealings with Duke Power & Light. He asked if the last four digits of my "social" were 4644. I told him NO and he apologized.
I'm in Human Resources and this call came to me. They asked for a number for a deptment in our company but there was no such department. I asked them who they're looking for and they told me. When I looked up the employee I realized this employee does not have a phone nor is in a position to receive phone calls. When I explained this to the caller and that company policy is that personal phone calls will not be transfered they got indignant with me and started questioning me as to how I know it's a personal phone call. They claimed our employee called them and told them to call him back but the number he supposedly gave them is no where near his department. I ended up hanging up on the person due to the fact that I know they're rude and lying and because if it was a business call our employee would have given them the correct number to call him back at. They're not too bright that's for sure. I can spot a personal call and a bill collector a mile away.
They call once or twice a day... They are a debt collector, I tell them I am not the person they are trying to reach but it does no good... Had to have the number blocked
