Expert Opinion

Picture this: a call flashes up from +16468226759, and the voice claims to be from Portfolio Recovery Associates. The message often references debt collection, but callers can also mask scams behind a familiar name. Before sharing any personal or financial details, request written verification of the debt and compare it with your records. Hang up if the agent pressures you for immediate payment or asks for credit‑card numbers. Register the number on the national Do‑Not‑Call list, and file a complaint with the FTC if the call feels abusive. Staying calm and double‑checking legitimacy protects you from both legitimate collectors and fraudulent schemes.
