They do no research. They have a list of numbers that have somehow been associated with debt collection so they call to harrass whomever has the phone. In my case, I moved to a new house three years ago and got a new phone number. Apparently, whoever had the number before me owed someone money. Instead of trying to find out who/where this person is now, they just call this number. Never leave a message, just let it ring and don't respond if I pick up. Time for laws to be written - or enforced - to stop this type of harrassment of people who have no involvement in the issue.
Someone from this number calls my cell phone and doesn't leave a message. If I answer, they don't speak, the call just ends. I would like it if we didn't pay for incoming calls on cell phones or could block certain numbers--Verizon won't help with either.
I keep getting calls from this # even though I have told them several times that the person they are looking for is not at this #. They just called a few mins ago and said "I know what's going on" then hung up on me??? Well, I'm glad someone knows what's going on 'cause I sure as heck don't. I'm a former collector myself and know that I can report them if they cont to call me.

I keep getting calls from this number also, It is really funny if they are a collection agency since i have only moved to MN within the last 2 months and have not created any debts as of yet to be in collections... I dont like it that they especially call after 8 pm
