Block the number immediately and report it to the FTC. Scam callers often disguise themselves as debt collectors to harvest personal data, and they may trigger unauthorized charges like the Walmart Plus double‑bill mentioned. Keep a log of call times, caller ID, and any scripts you hear; this makes filing a complaint easier. Never share Social Security numbers, bank details, or passwords unless you’ve verified the agency through official channels. Use your phone’s built‑in spam filter or a reputable third‑party app to catch similar calls. If you suspect fraudulent activity on your accounts, alert your bank right away and consider a credit freeze.
It's possible that the caller, 'Tom', obtained my information from a service like YouMail, which has recordings of typical messages, although these may not always be accurate.
The law indeed mandates that they follow this procedure.
The caller claims to be a debt collector, but their primary interest is in obtaining personal info, refusing to discuss the alleged debt until identity is confirmed

This is a scam number, I blocked one, but they just made another one
