Imagine your phone lights up with a recorded message about an unpaid debt you never heard of. That front‑line encounter is often a voicemail from a bogus debt‑recovery operation that hopes you’ll panic and hand over personal data. First, never confirm any details or provide payment information until you’ve independently verified the creditor through official channels. Use built‑in call‑blocking tools or third‑party apps to silence the number, and flag the call to the FTC and your carrier. Regularly review credit reports for unknown accounts, and consider a spam‑filtering service to keep similar scams at bay.
I've saved/blocked 45 diferent phone numbers, most of them from Debt Recovery Associates, with the same recoded message left on my phone by the same person, alleging a bogus debt, wich is a total scam
A voicemail was left by a male caller, approximately in his late 30s, mentioning a debt and a discount due to the pandemic, along with a repeated website address.
I have received at least four calls from DR Associates, all of which have been nuisance calls.
Daily calls with the same message have been recieved from this number, and after finaly contacting them, I instructed them to stop calling me, but now I'm concerned that they might be using my number to make internationl calls, and I need to moniter my phone bill closely...
I received the same message, allegedly from Latoya Jackson of DRA.
I received another spam call from someone claiming to be Christopher Adams from DRA, with the same message as a previous call from a different number.
This number is involved in a scam where they falsely claim to be debt collectors.
A pre-recorded message was left, similar to those from other numbers, which was quite vague.
They left a message, somthing about a DRA scam.
