It’s odd how a single spoofed number shows up in dozens of unrelated complaints, all pointing to the same shady operation. Callers posing as "GC Services" frequently claim to be debt collectors, use multiple local IDs, and demand personal details before any verification. The safest move is to never share birth dates, Social Security digits, or banking info without an official written notice. Ask for written validation of the debt, request a verification email, and immediately place the number on your phone’s block list. Report persistent harassers to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection agency, and consider a opt‑out service to curb future robocalls.
Upon receiving a call from this number, it appears to be a debt collector for Citibank Credit Cards, with a prerecorded message featuring a woman with a British-Indian accent, which often constitutes a robocall and potentially violates FDCPA regulations by disclosing sensitive information to unauthorized parties.
Initially, the identity of the callers was unclear, given the San Diego area code and limited online search results
A call from this number was received on my cell phone, and the representative, who identified herself as Ashley Smith, claimed to be from a collection firm in San Diego, which I find dubious given the use of a local spoofed number.
Someone from San Diego attempted to verify my address, claiming to be looking for Luis Garcia, which sounds like a scam - beware of such tactics.
A robotic call was received, and when I called back, the representative was unhelpful and evasive about the purpose of GC Services, possibly a debt collection agency, but they had incorrect information
The caller attempted to reach a neighbor in an effort to obtain a phone number.
This number is reportedly associated with GC Services.
