Here's my story about this number. A person I work with received 3 letters from Palisades Collections to a a person at his address with the same last name but different first. After the 3rd one I called it from my cell phone. I got the whom prompt to enter my SSN, so I entered 611-11-1111, obviously fake :) I talked with someone and they asked for a 'debtor ID' and so I gave the one off the paper. He asked with whom he was speaking, and I said: YOU TELL ME. He said 2 names before he said the name that was on the letter. HAHA. So then I said, I don't owe debt, and he said he bought the debt from some other company. I told him I would look into this b/c I think he is trying to steal my ID and call him back. Never did. He called again and I went into it. I asked what the company address was. He said an address in Jersey. Then I asked him his name, he said TOM. I asked his last name and he said it was irrelevant. So I moved on and asked what SSN he had on file for me. He gave me the last 4. I asked for him to read the whole thing. He gave it. I asked for his last name again. He said IRRELEVANT. So I asked for his email. He said WE DONT DO EMAIL HERE. I laughed. I final read back all the info he gave me and I asked if that was correct. He said yes. Then I said, THAT IS NOT MY NAME, NOT MY ADDRESS, NOT MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. PLEASE NEVER CALL ME AGAIN AND TAKE MY NUMBER OFF YOUR LIST. He got reeeaalllly mad. He said YOU'VE JUST WASTED THE LAST 5 MIN OF MY TIME. I said GOOD, YOU SHOULDN'T BE STEALING PEOPLES IDENTITY (or something like that). and he hung up on me hahahahah. Well, that was last week and I've gotten 2 more calls from this number. Shouldn't this be against the law?
