I received a call AT WORK from RPM saying they wanted to ask me a few questions for a survey. She said it wouldn't take long, so I agreed. She asked how long I had been at my current job, my home address, and a few other questions, I don't remember. She informed me that in appreciation of my cooperation, I would receive free subscriptions to several magazines and that they would mail the details. She also said that someone would be calling back to confirm my information.
A few minutes later, I got another call. We have caller I.D. At work and it showed up as "Receivables Per" and the number. She went over the same info with me as the last person. Said I would receive the information in the mail, blah blah blah...
About 30 minutes after that call, I receive ANOTHER call. Showed up the same name and number as the previous call. It was so and so with RPM and they were trying to collect a debt. It wasn't until after I hung up the phone, that I realized they had just scammed information from me with the previous call.
This just does not seem legal to me in any way, shape or form. Am I wrong?
I called the contact number that I was given and asked who I needed to talk to to file a complaint about how information was gathered. The man I spoke with said that it showed on record that they had only called me one time that day. Well I have it on my caller I.D. Twice at 2 different times. Something is not right here. He said that he didn't know anything about a survey, that his was a debt collection agency and they didn't conduct surveys. My point exactly.
I then called back and asked the lady who answered the phone for the full company name. She said it was "RPM". I asked her what RPM stood for and she hung up on me. I then called back and (evidently they have caller I.D. Too) She answered, "Yes Ma'am, what can I do for you?" I told her I would like the full business name. She replied, "Receivables Performance Management" and hung up. She was EXTREMELY rude.
If they had done nothing wrong, then why was she so reluctant to give me their full business name?
