If it's a legit collection agency they will be polite and courteous, if they expect to receive any payment of any real debt owed. If they are rude and crass from the get-go, they're something wrong and could be a scam or phishing. Otherwise, it could be harassment if they break any of the rules, could report to the FCC or get a lawyer, etc.....
I was getting a lot of hang up calls and wrong numbers for the cell phone number that was "recycled." This is a big problem, nowadays.
I found something that really works. Forward all your calls to voice mail and use the generic voice message that doesn't state your name. They usually do not leave a message if they're not legit. If they are legit, they're usually extremely polite and friendly and professional.
