Just got a call from this number it just says out of area. I got a call a few weeks ago and the caller I'd said it was a charity and I answered and it was this debt collector. I told him I was reporting him for his deceptive practices.

Thanks. I put them on my ditch mail. I have no debts. Now they get a message "this number is out of order"

How do you do the "ditch call" thing

Rude person (unknown gender) began with no intro, wanting me to confirm personal information about myself. Said they were an "EOS" something or the other, but when I asked for clarification of their ID, they said I would find out as soon as I gave them my info. When I asked them for their social security number. They refused. Then I asked what person of normal intelligence would give out such info over the phone... They said everyone they contact gave them the info. I told them to give them a call then... They hung up.

Definitely one shady outfit, whoever they are. They will "fish" for answers in verifying your info. They will guess at your birthdat, mailing addy, etc.. Confirm nothing. Tell them nothing.

They called my number at 7AM.

I didn't answer. When the answering machine came on they hung up.
DON'T TALK TO THESE PEOPLE.
IF they were legit they would leave a message.
