ANSWERING Karla, Joan, and Mary.
It's a credit collections agency and you owe a company money.
The reason you can't find out who the 413# belongs to is because they bought the number from a phone number warehouse company at a discount. In this 413-461-2249 case the 'warehouse company' is Rnk Inc.out of Dedham, MA (Who actually purchased 1000's of phone numbers from Verizon to sell to other companies as temporary numbers for a reduced fee.
So let's say the company you owe is "Company A"
The 413# is the credit collection agency "Company B"
Rnk Inc is "Company C"
So Company B buys a bunch of temporary phone numbers from Company C
Company A then contracts with Company B to call all the people that owe Company A money. Company B then gets a commission on all money they collect from people like you and me who owe Company A money.
That way the next time a different Company A hires Company B they can just buy a new set of temp. #'s from Comapny C and the consumer (you and me) won't reckognize the new number and instead of (you and me) avoiding the credit company with a number we already know Company B's calls frm a different phone number that they purchased from Company C.
Confusing but not really and that's what's happened.
You owe a company money and they're trying to collect by using a collection agency.
