I get calls from this number, and identical calls from various numbers with messages coming from MetCredit or VanCity which is a credit union I recently joined, at the same time the calls started. The calls come every day approximately, as described by others. Sometimes they give no name of the initiating party. I have an extremely rare name, and the calls say they're looking for a slightly different first name. So I haven't called back, because it definitely appears to be a scam to get elderly people to eagerly call back to say that person doesn't live there. The call isn't for me but I do feel tempted to call the RCMP.
I'm getting automated calls from this number daily. The message says they are Metropolitan and looking for Kenneth George Cecil and I'm supposed to call them back. Well, that's not going to happen, as the last time I tried to inform them that they had the wrong person, I was put through hell and the calls multiplied. So Kenneth George Cecil, call these people please and get them off my back.
I keep getting automated calls from 855-639-0579 every day except weekends. The messages say: "hello, I'm calling about important personal business. "Who ever" returns this call should refer to reference # 140791671." This is obviously a scam call because if it really was important personal business they would have stated who they are and who the call was intended for. Stated the "who ever returns this call" tells me that they just want anyone to return the call, but what for? who knows, I am not about to return this call to find out. I also did some checking as to where this call originated and it came from some where near the border of Nebraska and Ohio in the States. I don't know any there, the only people I know in the states is my sister and her family and they live in Las Vegas. I have no plans on returning this call. I am going to take this information to the RCMP.
Metropolitan debt collection agency. They had my address as well as the provider that I use so it sounded pretty convincing and they were asking for more information. I asked him to tell me why they were calling before you give them any personal information and they got frustrated and eventually hung up on me. Phoned my provider and found out that my account is all good. It's a scam! Will be reporting them soon.
