Debt collectors, they called and hang up. I called back to tell them not to call again.
They (she) were looking from my ex, from 7 years ago. I offered as much information as I felt comfortable offering (new city and new last name he is using), when I pointed out that I could not offer more info due to my children's protection.
The lady went CRAZY, yelling at me, "why did you have to take there, I don't know why you haddddd to take it there!" (repeated this at least 4 times), then had the nerve to ask if I would give him a message.
I ask, " what did I TAKE there?", she nastily replied, "yeah, mmhmm, we are done!" and hung up on me.
I called back to speak with someone and started stating that I did not appreciate that woman being mean and rude to me after I helped and gave her usefully information. I said " she was saying that I was rude, by TAKING IT THERE" the crazy woman jump on the line and started attacking me again. " I never called you rude, you contradicted your self, I never said you were rude!!" at the top of her lungs. I said " no, but's that what you were implying and all I did was help you", " I never said you were rude!!!" and she hung up on me again. I am pretty sure this is her direct line. So don't be helpful, don't offer her or her company any information.
In case you are wondering why I did? I have had 6 other different collectors call. They have been happy to take anything I offer them and have never called back.
I was hoping to get them off my back too.

Just so you know, there are a awful lot of extortion scam debt collections going on! it may be that that these are just that and given this one got pretty nasty with you as you well, it probably was extortion scam since they call everyone for the person they are looking for. Don't be surprised if they don't turn it on you also though or keep calling! They are violating the FDCPA laws..
Before you hand out any info, be smart, be safe and know the laws! Check those phone numbers first and see if they are even a legitimate company.. if they are, they will have no qualms of telling you their real address, legit phone number etc so you can look them up, even then, be wary- some may be legit, but also violate the laws as well.
