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.
I receive calls for my uncle all the time. We are estranged. Apparently he has financial problems. We dont even have the same last name and he is 30 years older than me so this is getting really old. This was the latest person to call. I told him my uncle will never call him back. I gave him my uncle's cellphone number and said "GOOD LUCK HE WILL NEVER CALL YOU BACK" He said I DONT NEED LUCK. These people are insane. They also called my mother and demanded she put my dad on the phone. She said he was at Costco. He said I WILL CALL BACK IN AN HOUR. I am so sick of being related to a deadbeat.
Got a call from this number today, it's from Elgin, IL. Didn't pick up since it did not look familar. I do speak another language so should I have the pleasure and pick up accidently, I plan on a strange conversation and a follow-up with my whistle. See how often I'll get another call, which I plan on answering with a whistle. I do not have open bills.
Got a call from this number. Asked for "Dan" I told her there was no one here by that name. She told me that this number was listed as Dan's number. I told her she dialed wrong. She asked if I would go down to my neighbor's house and deliver a message. I told her I didn't even know this neighbor and she told me she found that very strange since we both live on the same block and she didn't see why I wouldn't go down and deliver a message. Very obnoxious. I just hung up on her.
calls have been made to my mom, my sister and two of my employers. a guy named paul and another named john. they have been harassing my mom and the people i work with, asking where i live, when i'm scheduled to work, etc. they leave some kind of 866 number to call back at but *69 shows 847-741-7841. when i call that number, it's busy. they've asked my coworkers to speak with management and have threatened to get them fired for not giving my info. kinda creepy that they want to know when i'll be there...anyone else have those kinds of questions? and i've noticed some of these call details go back to more than a year ago!! how do we get these people reported??!?! i called the police and they said to call the phone company. ugh
