Apparently Debt Collection Scammers Don’t Like Being Told To Stop Calling Me….

Told them not to call back because my phone number is on the DO-NOT-CALL list. She replied “Well in America nobody would be contacted unless we did it this way” I told her “Then pull your head out of your butt because nobody wants you to call them”

I stopped one talking once and said lets pray.... He hung up

@MarineBob Next time I’m saying “Not today, Satan!” That has worked pretty good a few other times.

A friend of mine got a call from a rude and mean debt collector. The debt collector pissed him off so much that my friend got a plane ticket and flew to where the debt collector worked. My friend is a tall and huge muscled body builder. The debt collector got fired on the spot when my friend walked into his workplace.

If they are not in my contacts I just don't answer calls.

Must note though my service provider actually says that it's likely to be a scam. That actually can help.

I had to threaten one with my attorney a few years to get them to quit calling me about someone who used to have my phone number before me.

@James1956 I don’t owe anything. They are just calling random people and have called my number I don’t know how many times, this has been going on for a long time.

@cherokeepatti Sounds like harassment to me as well as possibly a lawsuit for harassment.

@James1956 I doubt it’s a legitimate business, more like a scam to get credit card numbers and probably based in India

Good for you Patti!

I still maintain that phone service providers owe their customers protection from predators like that.

Latest scam I head was something about yahoo mail going away

Lol, good for you! I signed up for the list, too, it's a joke. We have a landline that's ringing all day with that garbage. I tell people not to call that number, because I have the ringer off, and completely ignore it.

Then just Block their Number

Or per offence they are charged ,$500 fine to you

@cherokeepatti That's true. Had the same one call me for many different numbers.

@BeachGirl47 I’ve had people call me up saying someone called their phone and my number was on it. I was driving my car when they called me. I told them I was driving and hadn’t called anyone that day. They kept saying it was my number on the caller ID. Told them it was a spoof call and scammers would take other people’s numbers and make calls using them. I don’t know how they do it but they’ve even used my own number to call me.

@cherokeepatti something has to be done against this. Blocking isn't good enough

Best way to stop them.

"Hold the line please "

Then push a few number

They think you are tracing the call

That list was just to know what numbers are real so they know who to call faster instead of brute force robo dialing.

I had one and they said I owed 1,200 I said I'm not paying they conned me and he can die first a lawyer contacted me two years later saying they would except payments, I said is he dead yet, they hung up. Called a year or so later said they would except 500 I say nope. Then after six months they called said 100. I said is he dead. They showed me proof he was so I paid 100 and dept was crear. It was originally $195

@Lilnonames Well it wasn’t that I owe anything. They are wanting to consolidate debts and act like they are doing people a favor. I get calls several times a week from this outfit.
