Metro PCS is in on the scam.  they start by sharing their phone list to outside sources. We just got a new phone and number through Metro less than 24 hours ago, and now we have this stupid company calling AAANNNNDD THE KNOW MY NAME, HMMMMM COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!!! The thing that answered the phone spoke broken English and said they were a furniture company.  Then she proceeded to ask for my phone number.  I told her to go to hell.  Don't ever give our your phone number to anyone.  I'm a debt collector by trade.   I can tell you there are a lot of scammers out there.
