Strangely, the same number keeps popping up as a debt‑collection voice. Callers repeatedly identify themselves as a debt collector, often mentioning a former Sears card and a representative named Katie. This pattern points to a classic debt collector script aimed at extracting payment on an old, likely time‑barred account. The safest move is to never share personal or financial details over the phone. Ask for a written validation notice and verify the agency’s credentials before responding. Consider blocking the number, reporting the call to the FTC, and flagging it with your carrier’s spam filter. Staying skeptical and documenting each interaction can curb future harassment.
