Called my husband at work and asked him for my SS# and other pertinent information on me. The man pretended to be from the Gov't but refused to state his name or the reason for his call so my husband hung up on him without answering anything.
I received several calls from this number, and didn't answer because I didn't recognize it. Then, one night, I inadvertently answered the call by mistake! The caller said that he needed to verify that I was who he wanted to talk to and asked me for my social security number. I refused to give it to him, so he asked for my address. I gave him a partial address, which suited him just fine. He then went on to tell me that I owed $331 and how did I wish to pay. This was a debt my ex-husband had accrued over a year after we split up, but my name was still on the account. We have been divorced over a year, so this debt was almost two years old. I told the caller to contact my ex-husband if he wanted the money. He proceeded to try to tell me that it was my debt as well, and he must receive payment from me. I finally told him that I wasn't paying it, and not to contact me again. i never received a bill or invoice regarding the debt, and did not know anything about it. After talking to him, I checked my credit report, and saw the debt listed, but also saw that it had been dropped from my report,. I have since received three phone calls from this number, none of which I answered.
