I would not take Tom's advice and call them back and harass them...one because it may not help your case when it comes time to sue these people and two because they may find out your info on their caller ID. It makes me wonder if Tom works for this "scam company" and posting such a dumb idea on here? These rude people from this so called "collection agency" is phishing for your info and the phone numbers they have obtained illegally either from the prepaid cell phone company or from someone who is hacking into phone company switching carriers computers.
So, first they get a bunch of phone numbers in bulk either by hacking phone switching carriers and/or prepaid cell phone carriers. Then they massively spam...calling each number up using recorded messages telling you to call them back on this "toll-free" number. These so called "collection agency" want you to call them back on a "toll free number". So it does not matter if you use *67 to hide your name and number because they will still get it...because it is a "toll-free number". When you call them up on this "toll free" number they have a chance to identify who you are by their caller id. Once they have your name they look your credit record up. For those of you smart enough to use other people's phones to call this toll free number back up...these scam artists may still try to phish for your identity by asking you questions. They are mainly looking for your name. Do you notice on each of their calls that first go out to you that they do not use your name in their messages? This is because they do not have it. For those of you getting anonymous calls from this so called "collection agency"....
under FCC rules, telemarketers/collection agencies are required to transmit Caller ID information and are prohibited from blocking such information. Also, FCC rules limit parties that own toll-free numbers from distributing the numbers identified through ANI. The way they obtained the phone numbers may have been illegal, massively spamming may have been illegal, hacking and harassment is illegal. These scam artists seemed to have violated several laws.
They bought old debt which has already been paid, but regardless they are trying to turn it into new debt and are trying to collect on it. This is a scam, harassment, invasion of privacy. How they obtained phone number seems fishy. If they hacked into any systems they were not suppose to and used the information in an improper way legal action should be brought against them. Has anyone sued these people yet?
