Got a call from this number looking for a person living blocks away but on the same street asking if we knew this person and how to contact them. Looks like they're going through the phonebook looking for neighbors to collect on something. They said it was a "personal matter", ie likely collection agency.
I got a call from this number. Wanted to know my address, said I had a package. I thought it was a delivery company. When I started to give my address. Then she said the package was not for me, but a neighbor. Was evasive when I questioned why she called me, and hang up. I was concerned enough to call *69 and look up (801) 236-7580. Seens to me that someone or some company is trying to gather discrete information about me or someone who lives around me. Gives me the creeps.
Called about my neighbor and identified them self as Amanda. Came up as NAR on the caller ID. I googled the number and it came up as: Digitas Incorporated, (801) 236-7580, 136 E South Temple Ste 1100, Salt Lake City, UT 84111. I think it is a collection agency.

They use the following numbers for their "collection" activities:
They also employ a technique known as "skip tracing". Among other methods, they will run a debtor's address and home telephone number through a reverse directory search, and contact anyone they find who may live near the debtor, as well as use other databases to locate a debtor's relatives and contact them as well. Some of their techniques are legally questionable, but they manage to get away with it.
