I receive a lot of spam calls, but I have a call filtering app and if I don't recognize the number I send it to voicemail. I expect that if it's important enough that I should call you back you need to leave enough information to convince me you have a legitimate reason to call. This is the voicemail left by this number today:
"Hello my name is Janice Redding. I have an important message from Mercantile Adjustment Bureau. This call is from a debt collector, please return the call to 877-254-0957. When calling in reference ********".
No reference to a name, amount, or business that a debt is owed to? I have no reason to call you back! They gave me no reason to think it is a legitimate call or debt. Good luck with that, unless you leave more information, I will continue to reject the call, and eventually block the number, and it doesn't matter if you try from another number. I'm not going to even give you my name, tell me who you are trying to reach and if the name is correct then the conversation can continue. My phone is on silent most of the time and my spam filter is pretty good an rejecting calls from numbers reported as spam. Now that I found this website and a few others, I know the call is probably some bogus debt that has nothing to do with me if it is legitimate anyway.
Yes cell phones can block the # (depending on company) BUT they use different numbers to call. They try to trick you. They are most likely trying to contact you to collect ILLEGALLY on items past the statute of limitations. They try to trick you into resetting your supposed debt to get another 7 years to harass you legally. They are looking for a person not attached to my phone number. Report them to the FCC and BBB! I did.
says if I listen to this call i am the person they are trying to contact.Never heard anything so stupid before.
these people keep calling me and harassing me
I've been getting this call for two years ever since I got the number with magic Jack. For about 12 bucks I can block it and other numbers but, there ought to be a law (that actually gets enforced). Always starts out, (this is a message from-let's get started) and if I'm not (let's get started) then hang up, otherwise I admit that I am (let's get started) but my machine always gets it and doesn't hang up so I guess my answering machine is the person that owes the debt or whatever it is they are calling about. Oy vey, automation at its finest. I have perfect credit and never missed a payment or been late on any payment ever so whoever this (let's get started) person is, I'd wish they'd get back to this stupid automation collector thing
