I just received a call at work (came through the switchboard) from someone I think he said his name was James; claiming he was from the Chicago Citibank branch. He said he was calling about a mastercard that that has a "refuses to pay" on the acct? He stated a last name that sounds very much like mine -polish and not common. He asked if that was me; he also had my first name. I said no and that I didn't have a mastercard acct and what concerned me was how peculiar all this was. He asked if I knew anyone in Lake Forest b/c they were giving out my "info"? After I read the number 847-741-7841 back to him on the caller id - the call was disconnected. I called the nubmer back and it's busy busy busy. Do not take this statement offensive, this is just to help out, but I know the voice was older / african american male and sound very proper but monotone.
This is a collection agency that called me asking me to walk over to my neighbor's house to give them a message to call them back because the neighbor doesn't answer the phone when they call.
I cussed them out over the phone for calling me about a neighbor's debt.
Got a call. Asking for a reference for someone I did not know. The last name was familiar, I said that. Mentioned an older gentleman by the same last name on my street. Sounded professional, however as it went on it seemed fishy to me and I said I did not know the person they named. Wanted me to deliver a message I said "no". They said "thanks anyway" and hung up. Very odd.
I keep on getting calls from this number saying this is Mr Diggs and I am calling about a file that was left with me, leaves me the case #. Last message I got from him today was threatening, stating I needed to call him right away to take care of this matter and this was my last day to call him or else! Really??? I have no clue what the heck he wants and calls me by my married name at first and then changes it to my maiden name. ALSO he keeps on calling my Uncle who I have NEVER lived with or even have his number!!! He was very rude to my uncle as well!
Called 15 times in last 2 weeks, calls at night, Sunday mornings at 5am. They a aware that my wife has a company working for her on paying these bills. This is the only one that keeps calling and they are nasty, I have stopped answering them.
I have told them they have the wrong number but they don't stop
Woman called and asked for a man i had never heard of, i told her that i didn't know him, and she kept telling him i must. it went back and fourth until I hung up.
i didn't ask for the name or company, it was on my cell phone.
