The phone is ringing, and I don't recognize the number, All Caller ID says is, "NAME UNAVAILABLE".
Please help me figure out who is calling and what they want
They attempt to extract personal information in order to open credit/accounts and charge things in your name. They get lists of people's names from shady internet types (and some/partial information), then attempt to get the rest of what they need (SS#, correct address, full name, etc.)They pretend that you either have an account with them, or that you owe them money for something (which they don't specifically identify). Evidentl my name (actually they have incorrect name but sounds similar) is on this "list" and have had several variants of this contact from 2-3 other "companies" in varias locations all trying to contact me on some "important businees matter".
Contact your state attorney generals office, the FCC, or the local FBI complaint office to file a report (often can be done online). Eventually enough reports get the good guys after 'em, and they move on.
