I wish I could’ve titled this call “Debt Collector SCAM”, because that’s exactly what it is! This is a “company” called “Portfolio Recovery”. They purport to be a debt collection agency, except I DON’T HAVE ANY DEBTS, & they call me a million times a day, anyway. They sometimes identify themselves (like today with this number), but they often spoof local area codes to trick people into answering. Portfolio Recovery keeps calling, claiming I owe ridiculously high debts (and the number varies with each call), for credit cards I’ve never owned. And clearly my identity hasn’t been stolen, because my credit rating is very good & my credit report is clear. They’re scammers, plain & simple. They’ve even called, asking for other people, but refuse to believe me when I truthfully tell them no such person lives at this address, & I’ve never heard of them. And so I no longer answer when they call, & keep blocking their numbers, but they continually spoof new numbers. This company NEEDS to be shut down. They have a history of misdeeds & a ton of complaints against them. BLOCK THEM! I did. Again.
