Caller identified his organization as Zentec (spelling?), and was soliciting funds for the Police Athletic League. I said I didn't pledge funds by phone and said they could mail me their material, and I hung up. (If they know who I am, then they have my address. -- The caller did know my first name.)
I looked up both Zentec and Xentec on google.com and found nothing related to the P.A.L.
I called back to 860-269-8751 and got a recorded announcement from the P.A.L. and a reference to their main number at 800-396-1757.
I just got a call from them saying I owedI for a Visa credit card with Bof A Bank that I had stopped paying on. They said I owed $6000. I said I never had a card with B of A. They said isn't the last for numbers of your soc. sec. number ----. I said yes. They said, then you owe $6000. I said no I do not. She said allright mam. And, hung up on me!
Brivia Comm. LLC with T-1-240-787-1342 appeared on my phone screen when they called several times. They were offering me help get college educ. online.The caller was so persistent in taking some personal info. Sounds like very concerned and eager to help find a school for me. I asked the caller how they would help me when in fact they do not grant student loans. I asked the caller questions about their company. And she said their financial advisor would be the best person who could answer to my questions, and would be calling me back.
I didn't want to pick up the phone when the same number was calling. I started to doubt. And I wanted to check through internet about this "Brivia"company.
And thanks to the messages posted here... with complaints about this same name "Brivia".
