I keep getting these calls on my cell phone and I don't have any outstanding loans to start with. i never pick up the call because I don't know the number and I have a prepaid phone. Perhaps whoever had this number before has a loan, but I've had the phone for 4 years now. I'm tired of these calls and all my numbers are on the do not call list.
Received a call from this number this morning (C, CA 781-871-8213). A young man left a message that went something like this...
"hello, I am calling on behalf of a family member of yours (stated the name of an Uncle of mine that I haven't seen or heard from in over 10 years). This is regarding a very important personal matter regarding his health and he listed you as a family member."
My Uncle is a troubled individual that is estranged from our family. My first instinct was to pick up the phone and see what this was all about. My partner told me to Google the phone # first... I'm glad I did, seems others have received calls from this same # collecting debt. My partner and I do not have any debt (credit card or student loan debt). This is definitely a scam.
I got a call and automatically asked if I was(mentioned my name) and I my birthday was (mentiones my DOB) I was like who is this? She gave m some initials and when I asked what was that,she was like " I can't give out that information" so I told her I can't give any info as well,and hung up...sounds allot like a scam to get banking info or some sort of access to your accunt or ssn.....
