I was contact by an indivudual from 1800-9099095 ext 4068. They began asking me for personal identifying information. After i supplied it they hung up (turns out i was not whom they were lookign for). After they hung up i began getting nervous about whom i just gave information to. I called back seeing info about whoo they were. I was verbally assulted and threatened by the caller who was refusing to tell me who they were. She then hung up again. I was convinved now that i was dealing with identity theives being thta they would not identify themselves. I called back one more time to the extnetion and received simlar results ending with a hang up. I then called the 800 # and dialed 0 and spoke with a different rep. They identified the Company as ARS and said they were register in PA with the BBB.
Then I recieved another call about 5 min later this time the guy was joking around with me about calling me i asked who he was with and he said ARS and that he just spoke with me. I told him he was now harrasing me and i hung up and perform a *57 to intiate a call trace.
I jumped ont he internet and looked up ionfo about ARS. Turns out the guy lied about being a BBB memeber in PA infact they had no office or anythign in PA which he also said they had.
I would like to know if there is any legal recourse i have avalible since they harrased me and made me feel unsafe about my possible ID being stolen. Also is it legal for a componay to call you and not ID themselve yet demand perosnal ID info?
Anyway it just blew my mind about how they handled me and it turns out i wasnt even a perosn who owed them any money.
