Expert Opinion
Likely a debt collector is behind these calls, and they often disguise themselves with vague references to documents or personal matters. Personal data should never be shared over the phone unless you’ve verified the caller’s identity through an official channel. If the call feels aggressive or asks for sensitive info, hang up and block the number. Keep a log of dates, times, and any recorded details; this helps when you report to the FTC, your state attorney general, or the Better Business Bureau. Consider registering your line with the national Do‑Not‑Call list and use call‑filtering apps to reduce future nuisance calls.

Representatives from American Lending contacted me seeking someone with my name. They claimed to act for Regents Bank (likely regarding a loan tied to another person sharing my name). They refused to accept my denial, despite me stating I wasn't that individual, hadn't borrowed from their client, and had no idea of their location (...yet they kept pushing). I ended the call after warning I'd report them (...and they dared me to proceed). They've been bothering me for two weeks straight. Looks like I'll need to contact their state's attorney general, the BBB, and other authorities to make them cease this unlawful behavior.
