Got a call from this number today. It was spoofed (I have VOIP, normal calls on the DID that was called have a 1 in front of the number, this one didn't.) They said they were from Affiliated Credit or something (collection agency I've never heard of and never seen on my credit history.)
Best thing to do if you get a call from collections is tell them the person they're looking for is not available and hang up on them. NEVER, EVER identify yourself as the person they're looking for. It will only step up their harassment.
Actually, I think next time I'll just transfer them to the music-on-hold blackhole and let them listen to the best elevator hold music the Internet has to offer >:) Isn't Asterisk wonderful?
