Heads up, if you're getting repeated calls from a number that claims to be a debt collector, treat them with caution. These calls often use vague “important” messages to pressure you into sharing personal data. First, do not provide any Social Security or bank information. Request a written debt verification within 30 days, and keep a record of every call. If the calls persist, send a cease and desist letter via certified mail and file a complaint with the FTC and your state attorney general. Consider using call‑blocking apps or contacting your phone carrier for a block. Stay vigilant and protect your personal information.
Its sad that goverment agencies dont care about protecting us from these scammers, they just want to increse property taxes, we are pretty much on our own
This caller call me every week, i dont answer unknown call, but i searched the number and saw it was a scam
A message was left without disclosing the company's name, only providing a callback number. Upon returning the call, an answering machine requested personal information without identifying the company, which is not standard practice for legitimate businesses.
They have been trying to collec a debt that i alredy paid over 4 years ago, i have the paperwork to proove it and the company they suppost to be collcting for say they never hired them.
Despite being asked to remove the number from their list, this number continues to call weekly, claiming to be searching for someone who no longer uses this cell phone number.
Such behavior is characteristic of unscrupulous individuals who disregard the law, and they should be held accountable for their actions.
They demanded a call back on a 'VERY IMPORTANT' matter, saying "You must call before legal action is instituted against you"
I've been getting calls from a collection agency, but they are trying to collect a debt that I dont owe, and they are trying to scare me into paying, but I told them I havent had a credit card in 15 years, and they tried to make up informations and fish for my personal informations.
I got a message from this number today, but it didnt include any detials, just a refernce to a file number that wasnt provided, and when I called back, I got an answering machine with no info
An automated voice claims there's an urgent reason for the call, but all I get is a disconected tone, wich is absolutly harrassing.
They are attempting to collect a debt that I've disputed with multiple agencies in the past, as no one has been able to prove I owe the money.
They're demanding payment over the phone for a debt that's nearly a decade old. It's absurd to think I'd comply with such a request, especially since they refuse to provide any information about themselves. It's a clear scam, and paying them would only put my identity at risk.
Nelson watson & associates, a collection company with a bad repuatation, called me looking for my parents, they claim they didnt pay a bill 10 years ago
