I got a call, but no one was there. I said 'hello' 3 or 4 times, it was just dead air on the line. ugh.

I put my number on a do not call list a week ago and today I have received 9 calls in all from different numbers. this was just one of them. 525.349.9830, 445.834.5878 india, 287.852.7981, 274.712.4783, 366.995.5816, 892.429.0949 twice, 327.981.3613, 388.579.2586 twice,

Can't tell you what the company name is if you ask who your talking to they give you a bogus name.

Just got a call from this number..rang one time..no message.just discovered on fb a scam. If you call back they get your number and raise premium phone charges.

WANT TO HELP WITH PAYDAY LOANS

No, they want to scam people using vague references to PDLs. Along with empty threats & ridiculous claims of being everyone from law enforcement to federal agents. They're empty headed frauds who are unable to qualify for a legitimate job.
If everyone would just Google "FDCPA" and learn their rights as consumers, these fraud-shops would dry up quickly.
Be Safe. Be Aware.
