This number has been calling the business # for about two weeks now. They are asking for a person who I never have heard of. Caller ID- read- Pioneer Credit. I will not answer & I will not call them to tell them anything.
Called for two peoples names who did not live at the number. The last name sounded similar, so I think they're fishing for people. Very unprofessional.
The phone call originates from SKYPE - it's bogus - it's fraud sounds like it's coming from India. The person calling couldn't pronounce my name I couldn't understand much of what he was saying he threatened me physical harm when I refused to give out my social security number - he said he had it infront of him. When and if you try to call back you get a recording but that is only because the call is rerouted from SKYPE and making it look as if it's coming from a place called Premier. Best bet, write the number down, leave it near your phone and when it shows up on ID don't answer it then block it.
PCR has been playing this game for a while. They will seek to collect debt two and three times IN SPITE of having documentation in front of them indicating the debt has been paid.
In the case which I just got off the phone with PCR, the intelligent state of NJ fails to update their records for change of status of employers.
I just got a call from 856-437-1499 on my cell phone at about 3:30 PM today. I usually don't answer calls where the number isn't familiar, but this time I THOUGHT I knew the number (and it also said "NJ" below it), so I answered. A woman was on the line-- she spoke perfect English (no accent) and asked if she could speak to either "male first name" or "female first name" "**last name**". One of the names was MY name, but the other was NOT and I don't know who that person is is (its not anyone I would know or a family member), so right away I got suspicious and regretting that I'd picked up the call, realizing it wasn't who I thought it was.
I did not respond with any positive answer to either of the names she mentioned, and instead asked what this was about. She said that it was a "personal matter" so could not tell me unless I was one of the people she'd named. At that point I thought this call sounds like a phishing scam and just hung up. She did not call back.
It was the 2 name thing that got me suspicious, because if the call was for me, they wouldn't have mentioned the other first name. I don't know what they were calling for, and really don't care. If its THAT important they will send me a letter in the mail.
