Received a call from this number this morning (C, CA 781-871-8213). A young man left a message that went something like this...
"hello, I am calling on behalf of a family member of yours (stated the name of an Uncle of mine that I haven't seen or heard from in over 10 years). This is regarding a very important personal matter regarding his health and he listed you as a family member."
My Uncle is a troubled individual that is estranged from our family. My first instinct was to pick up the phone and see what this was all about. My partner told me to Google the phone # first... I'm glad I did, seems others have received calls from this same # collecting debt. My partner and I do not have any debt (credit card or student loan debt). This is definitely a scam.
