Caller Type: Debt Collector
Phone Number Report: This # keeps calling. They used to never leave message, now they say it is an attempt to collect a debt. When I do answer or call them back they say that they want my name. I tell them "YOU should KNOW who it is you're calling, if you don't then you have the wrong number!!" When they say my name and I tell them, "Yes, this is." Then they say, "May I have your Social Security Number?" I tell them "Ummmmm, not just no, but HELL NO!!!! Tell me who you are & What you want." They refuse to tell me WHY they are calling or give me any information until I give them my SSN. So, I told them, "I am NOT giving you MY information until you tell me WHO you are and WHAT you want." All they will tell me is who they are (NCO Financial) But they refuse to tell me WHAT they want. In this day and age I am NOT giving out my personal information and Social Security Number to someone over the phone - especially when I have NO IDEA what they are or what they want. For all I know, they could be some scam artist that will use my information to go get a loan or something and buy a house, car, credit cards, whatever. Are these companies CRAZY to think that PPL will just give out that sort of information over the phone without any reason being given to us as to WHY???
