A call came in with a voicemail addressed to another person sharing my surname; seems to be a legitimate collection agency.
Are these debt collectors breaking the law?

Expert Opinion
Calls keep coming from this number and sound like a scripted debt collector. The pattern of pre‑recorded messages, abrupt hang‑ups, and frequent number changes points to a robocall operation that’s likely violating do‑not‑call rules. Block the caller at the carrier level if possible and register the number with the national Do‑Not‑Call list. Use a call‑screening app to filter unknown callers and keep a log of timestamps for any future complaints. If you receive a legitimate debt notice, request written verification before taking any action. Stay vigilant and don’t share personal info with unsolicited callers.
