Got a call from this number, idiot identifies himself as a Greg Benson, or Vinson. Couldn't really tell about the last name sounded like he had his mouth full. Anyway starts blabbing this message is intended for me, m name is Greg with Investigation services, notice of intent to forward to place of employment etc. Well I am not employed. I give him a good cussing, and wouldn't let him finish cause I knew it was a scare tactic. What's even more lowdown is he even called my ex-husband, been divorced for 33 yrs. upsetting him and his wife, and Lord only knows how many more he has called. He has got a hold of my profile and seen what all names I went by and calling my ex. Why can't the AG not do anything? That's harrassment and invasion of privacy. Shows up on called ID name of Kaisin Kushkitu, now that must be a Nigeria scam.

Most likely it's a FAKE debt collector. The kind of tactics Edith Ann describes in her post are illegal for debt collectors and a legitimate one would not use them. Read about how to spot a fake debt collector here:

Never acknowledge any kind of debt on the phone and never give out personal information. Best policy is to NEVER answer calls from persons or numbers you don't recognize. Get a call blocker for your land line or download a call blocking app for your cell. Set your call blocker and cell app to reject ALL unidentified numbers.
Alert your manager and your HR Dept that you are being harassed by these scammers. Your employer should be able to have their telecom provider block the calls.
