I received a call from this number looking for someone with the same first name, but different last name, the call came into my work, and then was transferred to my cell phone. The person calling had a strong middle eastern accent as well. I tried to explain that the person that they had the wrong person, and when I told them my last name, then they said... oh, then we are trying to find (my name), I asked to be transferred to an Attorney that spoke better English. I was transferred, but not to an Attorney. When I asked for his bar number, he couldn't give me one. He cited his claim, then proceeded to devulge a social security number for a different person, credit references, personal references, and employer information for someone who is not me. When I explained that now he has broken all kinds of laws including HIPA and FDCPA, he hung up on me. I have reported this action to the AG's office, and would encourage all to do the same.
