It's a collection agency. (I didn't get the name). I have a new cell phone, activated yesterday (04.11.10) and immediately started getting hourly calls from them. (Isn't that harrassment?) Each call was from a different number.....Caller ID did not show a name.. I finally answered it and there was a pre-recorded message (Illegal) that asked me to press 9 to speak with a rep. (Also illegal) After sitting on hold for several minutes, which costs me $$$, a Rep came on and said something I didn't understand. After a moment I realized that he was speaking spanish. I asked who he was trying to call...he switched to English and rattled off a name that sounded like 'avita', and then asked who I was. (Which I didn't answer) I only stated that I had just gotten this cell phone the day before. He Politely stated that he would remove the number from their system.
