I finally called Verizon, they blocked the number from comming into my phone until July something. I just found this site. I like the whisle idea, I'm going to get one and if anything like this happens again I will use it!
I got the call 4 times yesterday and finally answered yesterday evening. Thye asked for me but I took a message, they gave the name of Steven DeRosa and said it was for a loan and said it was a call from an attorney office but would not give me that name and said I needed to call soon. The number they gave me to return the call was 855-844-3541. I have no idea what they would be calling about but will research the name and numbers before responding to anything.
Calls me three times in an hour and an a half. Been like this for two days now. No messages left and I don't answer a number from an area code I don't live in or next to. Certainly won't be answering now, it's clearly a scam of some sort.
Called me twice yesterday and once today. I picked up the one today and got a recorded message to press 1, at which point I was put through to a "Johnny Brown" (he's Googleproof, if nothing else). Said I had a payday loan from something called NationalPaydayLoan.com (which clearly went to a domain parking website), for $95 (What? They have you choose a nice, round number normally). Offered to send me a Dunning letter by email (nothing corresponds by email as proof that a debt is owed). Also "verified" that the loan was on a checking account that was closed before the loan was even issued. Finally he told me that I was welcome to contest the matter in court, and to have a nice day. I had no choice but to suggest that he get a real job that he might find more rewarding.
