At 10:20 a.m. Jan. 19, 2012, a call from 971-220-1050 (Gresham, Ore.), provided no identifying information but left a robodial message. Here's a portion:
"... some information in the mail about your credit card account. This call to follow up on that information to let you know that you can still take advantage of this terrific program, your card companies have authorized us to contact you ..."
At 1:32 p.m., a call from 501-303-4193 (Benton, Ark.), which shows up in a Google cross-reference to a collector called Nationwide Credit Inc., left no message.
At 1:37 p.m., a call from 402-817-1032 (Lincoln, Neb.), left a robodial message saying that if one continued to listen, he or she acknowledged he or she was the person they were trying to contact, and that there would be a "three-second pause so you could listen in private," followed by:
"This is Stellar Recovery Inc. at 866-860-8796. This communication is from a debt collector. This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose."
So, out of the blue, three calls, same day, all seemingly unrelated?
What a coincidence!
