5Other received in CHICAGO, Illinois. Calling with recorded message (robocalls)
I have been called 5 times by this number in the last week. I never answer and they never leave a message. I believe debt collectors must send a physical letter via post. https://www.consumerfinance.gov/ask-cfpb/what-information-does-a-debt-collector-have-to-give-me-about-the-debt-en-331/
I am continually receiving calls from +18722130138 and they asking for debt settlement.
I am getting debt collection robocalls, they saying they represent the City.
A caller asked for me by name, claiming the call was being recorded and that he was from the City of Chicago Department of Finance. He wanted to confirm my address, but I refused to share information with an unknown caller. When I asked if I owed any money, he became aggressive. I hung up and checked the Department of Finance website, finding nothing outstanding. The call seemed plausible at first, but I knew Chicago city offices use 744 numbers, which raised suspicions.
