Called to say they were with a debt collection agency about my Sears account. We paid our Sears bill in full 2 weeks ago. I told her I thought it was a scam call as I am in good standing with them.
She said, "Calm down, let me see if I have the right person." She gave me a November something 1974 birthday. I said, not mine. She said she had the wrong person. They called my cell phone.
I think it was a phishing expedition looking for personal information.
Received call from this number but no message. Probably a telemarketing robo-call( the type which tries to reach numbers in a telephone exchange using an auto-dialer). This type of call often breaches federal law. If the caller is unknown, they always leave a message if important. Rule: Do not bother answering unless a message is left.
Portfolio Recovery Associates. Told me they were recording the call and it was an attempt to collect a debt that was from over 8 years ago. I always reply I will not allow myself to be recorded, it pretty much ends the whole thing right there because they can't proceed with the recording.
Received a call, 2:00pm, no message. Portfolio Recovery Associates? Who knows. Tried calling them before to find out what the call was about, there was no answer. Qué será será!!!
