At first I didn't answer the call because I didn't recognize the number. I am debt free so no Bill collectors should be calling. I have received numerous calls daily from this number. When I called back it was a credit services company. I never could get through to a human being. The One time I answered they asked for someone with a Spanish name. I told them they had the wrong number and to please stop calling. I have been getting calls daily ever since.
Once again with the "I am on the DNC". If you had read the page where it tells you what the DNC covers and doesn't cover, you would have seen that debt collectors are not required to abide by that law. The reason? Because they are not selling anything for starters, and because they have their own special law.
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Just got an automated robocall from this number. Something about the US Treasury coming after me all from a text to speech system. Wanted me to call some number back. Sounds legit … Ha !!!
I called them back. And they told me that I have a fredral law after me . I told her I was going to call the police & a man cut in laughing.. Such low life's. What a shame that they think they can get away with this. Blocked them for sure, only, I know they will call back under a different number.
I got a call--a mechanical voice--like Siri--it is very difficult to decipher what is being said as the speech stops at the wrong parts of the sentences. In essence, it is a threat-- to have my "attorney of record" return the call, or "what unfolds will be totally upon" me. I have received the IDENTICAL message from numbers in Colorado, Mississippi and Texas. Clearly a scam!
I answered, he asked me if he is speaking to Rachel, I asked who he was. He kept mumbling something and asked me if I live on (street name which was my previous address.. a little creepy) I kept asking who wants to know. He mumbled who he was and kept asking "this is personal information and I need to know what apt number you live in". When I said I'm not giving any info until he identifies himself he says " I can call back at a later time when you can talk".
I hung up in his face. For the record- I have no debts so this is bs
