let me guess, you work for them........

What a loser, Bubba! Same message everywhere!

Received call from that number 26Aug08.Didn't answer.My 'voice message' fm them was a ****up.Just so you all know,there are commercial databases out there available to those who purchase their services.Those databases are based on info gleamed from credit/charge card applications where YOU provide 'references' (friends,relatives,neighbors), YOUR SSNs, DOBs, etc. Your neighbors' info is retrieved from paid-for USPS databases (addresses near yours).Then they go back into these other commercial databases (i.e. AutoTrak, Lexis/Nexis) and simply run/retrieve other addresses, names, SSNs, DOBs, relatives and their info, etc). It's pretty simple stuff (all linked by SSNs). Some of the companies such as ProVest probably buy 'collections' in bulk where other companies have been unsuccessful in collecting. Some are just scam artists calling/mailing in bulk, hoping to scare someone into paying 'long-forgotten' bills/late fees, etc. (my daughter encountered one of those two years ago).The latest thing is these companies trying to get people who unknowingly bought 'counterfeit' embroidery files on eBay (illegal to sell; not to purchase, by the way...I've since found out).They say they are representing many sewing/embroidery companies who will sue for damages unless you give them $300-$600 (i.e.) now (they allegedly got eBay to turn over bulk buyers' records).Don't get scared...don't argue with them.If you have caller ID, just don't answer any unrecognized calls or return any mailings.Don't let your curiosity get the best of you.Don't threaten them...I'm sure they've heard it all and get a good laugh out of it.Now, if they s**** calling/mailing you at work...that's a different ball game and is a***nst the law.Then you should contact your BBB and Secretary of State...whatever is appropriate in your area.

Called to find out about a relative I have not spoken to in years.  Left a message, I called and left one back.  They are sneaky...I think I will play with them for a while...
