Pure harassment. The caller does not identify himself. He pulls this call that he makes try to sound recorded and threatening, with this beeping in the background, it is crafted so as to sound ominous and menacing but it is illegal. All debt collectors MUST without exception state the call is "an attempt to collect a debt" and there can be NO threats. The comments about "we will make a decision for you" is most definitely an implied threat.  To people who don't know better, it might be frightening and they will call back and, good Lord, provide personal information or whatever this person wants.  BEWARE: Do NOT give any personal information whatsoever over the phone, not even your name, do not confirm YOUR phone number, not even your gender you don't have to say squat. This call is illegal and he has no business doing this. It is amazing he provides a name, and judging from these messages, he provides the same name. But the most important thing for people to know is NEVER provide any personal information over the phone and yes, whether you own a home or rent is personal information. What you make, if you are married etc. is PRIVATE PERSONAL information that is none of anyone's business, even legit debt collectors (if there are any) have no business asking for any information. It only keeps this a** in business when people freeze up and return his call. Turn it around: ASK HIM THE QUESTIONS. What is your last name ***le, name of your company? How did you get THIS (not my, but THIS) phone number? Who are you trying to reach and why? NEVER even so much as confirm you are the person they say they are calling.  As much info as you can get helps, because if this guy keeps breaking the federal law he is breaking, you can sue him for up to $1,000 for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and boy it is worth reading up on that at the official FTC site. You have protections. Now, if you have i.d. theft as so many of us have, this type of harassment is even more onerous. DO NOT do not give any information you only keep him in business when you do that. Also DO REPORT his calls to the FTC do not call line. If they get enough complaints, they will do so****ign about him. It takes persistent complaints but they will act. Describe the call, the beeping the implied threats the menacing sounds. I got a call that sounded like someone calling from another planet. This is what these bottom feeders hope to do: sound so **** scary people will out of fear give him information. DO NOT FALL FOR IT.  I am under the belief this is some debt collection agency because anyone who hopes to make a sale cannot possibly think they will do so with this type of behavior. The caller who left a message on my voicemail did not state his business, only that "a decision will be made for me." Bud, I don't think so.

The male caller, I found out the name is Joel, woudn't give name or return number, threatened the apt. desk helper, harrassed the desk helper by calling over 5 times in less than a minute and wouldn't give anyone an opportunity to discuss the purpose of the call.  Yelled, mean and rude.

Very rude. Collection agency called home number, which also gets forwarded to my cell. Asked him what business he is, the person who answered was a "Joel" as I'm completely curious about who called.My condolences to anyone having to deal with them.
