If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because, being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking), the only thing they understand.
2 calls 6 Aug @ 12 noon and 5 pm. went to answering machine, no message. And got 1 call for 5 days from a Houston no.(832) 271-7292. No message. Same telemarketer?
Unwanted caller... left no message... blocked it.
Because so many good folks telephones are being invaded with unwanted scam/spoof callers, several good folks and the Vonage VoIP Phone service, have setup a free call blocking service. On the Internet, Google “free call blocking service” and see what is available, you will be glad you did. You can also get your own “Call Blocking Phone” and call-block all those unwanted callers. We laugh each time such calls ring our phone and are blocked and then exclaim, “Thank You.”
