If You Hear This 4-Word Phrase When You Pick Up the Phone, Hang Up Immediately
If you’ve been getting more robocalls lately, you are not alone. Phone call scams have increased a whopping 118% in the past year, according to First Orion, and millions of Americans have fallen victim to phone scammers looking to steal their money and identities.
No message. Of course. Looked them up online - they are a collection agency for wireless companies. I have never had a wireless account - have always been provided with phone via work and/or been on GF's plan. Not on my credit report either. Big settlement with FCPA though.
We get rounds of calls for 30-60 days every few years - mostly about stuff we've never heard of or for people with a similar name. I used to collect for a living - these collection companies are like the Keystone cops. There may be a real debt behind some of the calls - just not our debt. Somehow they stay in business - someone must pay them. Who in their right mind picks up the phone and sends a check to random strangers????
