Bottom Feeders, period. Lowest of scum that pretends to have a 3rd grade edumacation.

Calls with different phone numbers. I always hit ignore and they never leave a message. I have had financial difficulties but these guys are scummier than me. Who calls but refuses to leave a message or say who they are.
I feel like answering their call with "Hello. This is Donald Trump ( or Bill Gates, you choose your gazillionaire). What can I do ya fear?" Lol.
Anyway [***] them and their mothers.

In regards to my post above-----
Sorry about the misspellings and grammatical error.
* there should have been a question mark at the end of sentence four
* meant to write "fer" in the third sentence of my fantasy response but my iOS device changed it to "fear"
Man, oh, man am I anal ? I just critiqued my own post!

I digress...

Regardless of the fact that you do have financial difficulties, ALWAYS make a caller mail - do not accept email or fax - proof that you owe a debt and proof that your caller has the legal right to collect said debt.  This is your right per federal law (the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act).  If they refuse to mail this documentation, do not pay them!  More good information here:

Follow the steps in what you need to know. A legitimate debt collector agency should not have a problem with giving you a real business name and address you can google and verify via google street view, BBB etc.
For extortion Scam Operations, file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..
