Odd Question

Good gosh, perhaps the person who called you was an employee or a patient at that hospital, holy moley, what next!!! :shock:

Lol, maybe I misdialed? I don't want to call back until I am on my cell again (I don't want them to keep calling my work!) I am just so sick of these scams every time I turn around! I settled most of my loans but my info is everywhere!

There are actually devices out there that can change the number that shows up on caller ID. Ifyou search the internet, they can be found. Are they legal? Not for collections or telemarketing!!! Do they get used? Ask bea2ls.

he probably spoofed his caller id.that is illegal,so i wouldn't sweat it were he was concerned.

It seemed illegal all over, which is why I hung up on him (who reads a summons over the phone insteading of serving it? Lol). I just got a bit freaked because he had my correct social. He said my references are going to jail, haha - he's funny!

I got the same call on my cell phone but this time it was from 646-862-5114 (ext 1047)
I have no idea why this jerk keeps calling. it was the same heavy accent but this time he was an "officer" and if me or my attorney doesn't call than all he can say is good luck. whatever.
i don't plan on calling back (but i did save the msg!) but am a bit scared he will call my job :( is there anything i can do to stop this? it just gets stressful and its getting old.

yep he called my work, i cut him right off, told him he was a scam and that he is not allowed to call me. i also mentioned that what he is doing is not legal and i told him good luck because he is being reported. haha, my co-workers were laughing. it's so embarrasing though! :(

just keep doing what you are doing.that is how you handle it.

okay, i wasn't sure if i was missing something. my office is pretty strict and the last thing i need is this! Luckily - well, not lucky at all! but conviently- my idenity was stolen (i had a thread about it once.. someone in az used my social to get cable..) so i kinda blame these things on that. who knows anyway, it probably all is due to payday loans :(

yeah i remember that.i thought that was what you told your boss and co-workers about this doofus.anyway,if you didn't sounds like a good reason to me.

it is what i told them, i just feel so unprofessional when they call. besides people have no idea what kind of money problems i had in the past and i like to keep it that way ;)

ok, this is getting out of control! he called my cell and work AGAIN. he left a msg on my cell but i accidently deleted it (not that it was important but i kinda like to save them..)
when he called my work, he asked for my supervisor.. i blew him off and he hung up on me. but the thing is that the number he's calling is no longer my phone number at work and someone else is likely to transfer him to this person. i should have told him i quit lol and pretended to be someone else. i can seriously get in trouble over this..

one more question, (sorry!) i don't even know how to report him. is it even legal to ask for someone's supervisor? i know he likes to share my social security number (and is probably the root of my idenity theft!) he also gives out - quite freely - my old banking account number. but i dont even have his real number, as it always seems to be spoofed..

he called again, asking me to repeat the name of the company. if i had this number still i would have turned the ringer off but i changed desks.
i really only owe geneva roth and this isnt their style. i had problems with VIP cash but everything seemed to have worked out.
i am like shaking. is there anything else i can do? i dont even wanna take a lunch because i am scared of leaving my desk.

Maybe telling them you quit would be a good idea...would your co-workers go along with that if you asked them too?

it depends who he gets on the phone.. lol, that's what makes me worried. when he asked what company i work for, i just said it was the sheriff's office (which is true..) and he hung up on me. maybe that will make him stop? i am going to add his info to my police report for idenity theft - just in case.

I hope it gets better for you, I know what it was like when I was getting calls...I was always afraid they would end up with my manager.

exactly! he asked for a supervisor one of the times he called and if someone else picked up, they probably wouldn't have thought anything of it and transferred away! i know my boss cannot fire me for it (to be honest, i don't even think I owe them money!!) but it makes me feel so stupid! also, some places like to say that they will tell my boss i use the company computer and that really could get me in trouble.. who knows, this sick person is proabably reading this ;)

He called again, asking to speak to a supervisor, and they transferred him to me. He said he was a cop and i am going to jail and good luck. i told him to stop calling, i dont know if that will work out! i am scared he will keep calling. my supervisor was cool and we are making jokes. but it's crazy!
