For the last 4 months my mother (in her 70's) has been getting phone calls at all hours of the day and night, mostly around the same time each day. Whoever is calling never stays on long enough for the phone machine to answer (3-4 rings). Sometimes the display states just "Unknown Caller" with no phone number listed and sometimes it states "Unknown Caller with the phone number 312-895-3406.
Finally after 4 months of this, someone named Ken Hughes left a message ORDERING he be called and left an "888" toll free number to call. This man was demanding and mean, and left no info as to he was. This is how I found this web site... By typing the 312 phone number into a search engine and you wonderful people came up. Bless each of you.
I am concerned for my mother and a few of the things that I have read regarding this. My mother has always prided herself on her credit and we cannot understand why a company that is supposedly debt related is attempting to reach her. We have also wondered if this is a mistake, if these people have had the wrong phone number all along, or even if they are targeting my mother because they know she is elderly.
I do not want, nor does my mother, wish to call these to attempt to see what it is that they want. If contact is made, then Federal laws say they have the right to continue to attempt business with us.
Does anyone have any idea how to deal with these people? Has anyone been successful in getting rid of them without major ta-do? I want these people to stop harrassing my mom.
Thank you for any assistance, and again, thank you for this fantastic website.
