"Don Perkins" called me from this number. Called at 6:39 a.m., 6:40 a.m., 6:42 a.m. and 6:46 a.m. one morning. Never identified himself as a debt collector and at one point just screamed "pick up the phone!" My ten year old was terrified. He was attempting to collect a debt from my husband's company which I knew nothing about. He also called himself "Rick in Dallas." Received over 25 messages on my answering machine and cell phone over the course of a day and a half from different people with similar numbers but the last two digits were different. I was told I was being sued, that investigators were at my house taking pictures, that they were looking at a picture of me on the internet and that they needed to pick up a check immediately for $13,000. They called my mother, my father, my neighbors, my in-laws and the place where I was attending a meeting. All this happened while I was out of town and concerned a debt which I knew absolutely about and had no control over. All the phone calls were awful and threatening but Mr. Perkins was by far the worst because he screams. Apparently this man gets his jollies by scaring women and children.
