Just got a call at my business from 713-481-0373. Lady asked for the Editor, I said this Rep, the Editor how can I help you? The lady said; sorry, I have the wrong number and hung up. Don't know what they wanted...
They called and when I asked who was calling I was told get yourself a lawyer I don't have time to play games. When I looked up the number I couldn't find any information I believe they were trying to get a name and address to go with the phone number
When I calledd the number back first it rang out several times then I blocked my number and called back and a lady answered and I asked her what company it was and she told me it was a residence. I repeated the number back to her and she told me I had the wrong number but when we hung up I hit redial and now noone is answering. This is a way they try and get a name to go with the phone number be careful!!!!!!

Caller would only identify herself as Ms. Dent, an insulting woman who called me a liar regarding payment of an AVON debt over 5 years ago. I DID pay it, via money order. She asked to her take me to court where I could prove that I paid it. She again called me a liar, made comments about my mother. She refused me any info other than her name and she was calling from Houston. She specially stated she would be calling me "every seven days" until I paid the debt. I asked her where I could send proof that I paid it and she again called me a liar and refused to give me the information. I did a #69 and found this number. I called the number back and there was no answer.
I received a call on Feb. 7th at 3:50pm EST. I received a call previously but did not connect the dots. The lady was very crass and kept referring to taking me to federal court if I did not pay for an OLD AVON debt.
