Got a call from 719-623-6593 just a few minutes ago. Since it was local I answered. BIG MISTAKE! The person said their name was Cisto or Cristof (couldn't hear him really well) he asked for someone I don't know, when I told him I didn't know who he was asking for he asked for another person I don't know, when I told him I didn't know that person either he want into a a rage accusing me of lying to either protect XXXXXX or that I was XXXXXX and that I should start looking for a police officr to show up at the house very soon to arrest me for interference in a police investigation. after his little blow up he asked me what I thought, When I told him I would call the local sheriff's office with all the information he requested (a lie, I don't know the people he was asking for) he quickly changed his tune and quickly tried to talk me out of calling any local LEO. When I told him it was too late that I had my son Google the number and found out it was United Recovery Systems out of Houston Texas and they had spoofed a local number he told me to go "F" myself and hung up.
Called today asking if I was related to someone named Chris Stafford. I told them no. They asked, "So, you don't anyone by that name?" When I said no again, she just hung up on me.
Christo? of URS from Houston TX (local call to me) asking for someone else with the same last name (e.g. did I know? was I related?). United Recovery Systems appears to be a collection agency.
They claimed to be with the DA's office in Denver!!! Called asking for someone that doesn't even live here. They keep calling and hanging up... DA? I don't think so >:-(
They called me asking if I'm "so and so," and I simply responded with "what's this about?" They said it was an attempt at collections, but they refused to to provide any information about who was trying to collect, other than the name of his business. As I don't have any outstanding debts, I kept trying to get him to reveal the name of the company from who they purchased the debt. "What's their name? Where are they located? Do you have amount? Ok, how about a description? What's the date you believe the debt was incurred?"
Sorry, but if someone calls me out of the blue, wanting to confirm my address and other personal information but are unwilling to provide anything in return, the only thing I'm going to tell them is "Good-bye, do not call again, I'm reporting you to the authorities."
