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.
it's GC services (charlie) asking for someone i don't know. keping saying, "you're so-and-so." and i said, "no i'm not." "yes you are" "no i'm not" i got so pissed b/c they don't get it. what a pathetic job they have... feel sorry for them. i can't wait for them to call me again so i can curse them off again. they keep hanging up on ME.
according to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), they are not allowed to call and harrass w/ intent to annoy. they could only call one time THAT'S IT (if they have the wrong person)
Keep getting calls from this number wanting my wife's social security number. It is for an account with a bank that we have never heard of. I tell him that the address he is telling me is totally incorrect and he told me that I am not being truthful. They should have to be sure they have the right person before they start the harrassing process. We are being harrassed for an account that we have know nothing about. And if it was idenity theft he would have her social security number but he don't. Thank god !! Knowing how these people work if they would get it they would just insert it into their info and start collecting from us.
they called me asking for an asian female. I told her she didn't work here. NEver had. and wanted to speak to a human resources company.i told her we didn't have one.I asked the boss and no one of that name has ever worked here. . she then asked me who was the owner of the company and i told her his name. and she said thank you and hung up...idk...not too weird.
