They threaten you with charges

Is this legit?  They called me and asked for someone else's name and it was a recording threatening charges??

This is a common ploy used by debt collectors who use unethical and illegal business practices.  They do this to frighten people to pay money for a debt that cannot be collected or is bogus to begin with.  I ran this phone number through an app on my phone to find it is a debt collection scam.  It could also be the IRS scam as tax season is around the corner.  Do not engage in conversation with them.  If they continue to call, you may want to file a report.

SCAM.  They don't identify what company they're calling from so you know that it's B.S.  They're just trying to collect your data (i.e. Social Security number, etc.) to steal your identity.  Don't answer/give them any information.

it's been weeks, these people keep calling my phone and my parents phones. I blocked one of their numbers, but they must have other locations or lines they call from, because now a different number is calling me and 'informing' me of the same [***] SCAM
