THEIR PHONE NUMBER LOOKS LIKE BERNETT RESEARCH AT 503-334-1620. THE PHONE NO. LOOKS SIMILAR. I JUST GOT THIS NEW PHONE NUMBER IN NOVEMBER AND THEY CALLED ME 2 TIMES, THEY HAVE CALLED ME BEFORE I MOVED ON THE OLD NUMBER I HAD, I NEVER ANSWERED. THERE ARE MANY COMPANIES/COLLECTION AGENCIES/SCAMMERS USING SPOOF TO CALL PEOPLE THEY PUT ANY NUMBER IN YOUR CALLER ID. OUT OF ALL THE CALLS I'VE GOTTEN FROM RESEARCH COMPANIES ARE NOT ANYONE I KNOW AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR FINANCIAL INFO. TRYING TO GET BUSINESS FOR COLLECTION AGENCIES. DON'T GIVE THEM ANY INFO BECAUSE THEY ARE FISHING OR TRYING TO COLLECT ON AN OLD DEBT THEY THINK YOU MAY HAVE, THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND. CHECK YOU CREDIT REPORT. I WAS GETTING CALLS AND PEOPLE HANG UP OR ASK FOR SOME WITH A NAME SIMILAR TO MINE AND I DECIDED TO CHECK MY CREDIT REPORT, A COLLECTION AGENCY (COLLECT AMERICA) HAD PLACE AN INQUIRY ON MY CREDIT REPORT. FTC SAID THE INQUIRY WILL BE ON MY CREDIT REPORT FOR 2 YEARS AND PUT A FRAUD ALLERT FOR 90 DAYS, MY BILLS ARE ALWAYS PAID ON TIME NEVER LATE.
