?Ever wondered why a random call from +1‑425‑740‑5455 feels like a trap? Most reports point to a debt‑collection script that masquerades as a legitimate agency—often citing names like Sentry Credit or a fake Michael Powers. These callers routinely demand personal data such as Social Security numbers, addresses, or birthdays, which violates privacy best practices and can be illegal under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. If you receive such a call, hang up, do not share any identifying information, and verify the claim through a written notice sent to your address. Report the number to the FTC and consider placing a block on your phone. Keep records of voicemails and any written correspondence in case you need to dispute a false claim later.
