(888) 226-1843 - May 26th, 2010 11:52am
Call to collect a debt.
(888) 226-1843 - September 11th, 2009 4:00am
Ah yes, they called today from the above-listed number and probably several other times from the famous "Unknown Caller" exc****e or from 000-000-0000. They did not leave a messasge, but the number showed up on my Caller ID.From what I gather, they are a so-called "dead debt collector," who collect debt that has long since been charged off.I do NOT take calls from en***ies I do not know. They are probably calling me about a debt I acquired fifteen years ago when i became disabled. There is a right way and a wrong way to collect debts. Harassing people by phone for debts that are some seven years past the Statute of Limitations is the WRONG way.
