I returned call and a male person answered Department of Employment, etc and was told that they are a governmental agency and when I questioned their statement person got upset and hang up.  Any othe similar calls?

It's a collections agency. I just got a new phone number and my phone has been blowing up. My husband called these people back and said they were a collections looking for a person who is not in my family. They said they would update the info.. I guess we will see..

Received a call stating they were a government agency that would assist with my debt problem.  Called number and was told they were a collection agency but could not reveal the company name in which they were collecting debt.

multiple calls per day
in process of reporting it to law enforcement

got this same kind of response. stating to help with your debt ( sounded too good to be true, and since when does gov't help us with anything -especially those in the middle class; we may be in debt but don't qualify to be low income and get the perks).

we were on the phone a while and their scheme was they give you an assignment every Monday and depending how much you do (hours) and what task you do for them which is submitted on Friday, you can get paid weekly into an acct you will newly open not linked to your current acct ( so that other debt collectors cannot get to it). You could get paid as much as $1200.

I was suppose to receive an email at 5pm that eve or by 8am the next morning for which I was to call the rep again in confirmation - no email ever came and now the phone just rings once and hangs up.

whether or not a collection agency - they are fraudulent in using tactics to get information which I would think is more illegal than running from debt collectors.
