Pay yer bills Athena

Do debt collectors leave messages idk

I do have an ER bill from a year and a half ago that I never paid. And a traffic camera speeding ticket from a couple months ago but supposedly they never send their shit to collections (The village that sent it is infamous in this area for being a speed trap). I check my credit all the time and nothing's showed up on it so far.

Calm down. It was a joke.

It's most likely a spoofed call. I get a few of those during the month and my number is 100% unlisted. It might come up as a legit number if you reverse whitepage it but it's really some twat trying to get you to pick up the phone so they know it's a live number. Then they'll try to convince you that you owe money or there's a warrant out for your arrest that you can totally cure with gift cards from Walgreens. :D

Usually when I get those it will be my same area code and first 3 digits or something. This was a local number but different area code and everything.

It was me. DUN DUN DUN

Y u no leave message

Calling me back to back does not increase the chances I'll answer. If anything it makes me less likely to want to respond or even talk to you at all for awhile. Sorry for the mini rant I know you were just joking but some clients try to pull that shit on me all the time and it annoys me because my work phone is an iPhone and I literally can't use the phone at all if someone I don't want to talk to is trying to call me.

that's a problem i've never really had, but then again i've never had an iphone. if i'm using my pixel it'll just pop up at the top and ask me if i want to answer the call.

On Android it will pop up on the whole screen but you can minimize it. On iPhone it will take up the screen and you have to either answer or reject. Rly annoying. I hate having to use an iPhone for work and it's like, a 5 so it's old af.

that's not entirely true in the case of android. it depends on the phone. i've only ever had android phones. 2 of them are always minimized unless the phone screen is off and then when i answer it it's full. 1 forced me to pick. either way, my job only gives people iphones but i bring my own phone because i don't really feel like carrying two phones and the only people who ever call me from work are either from the onshore team or the offshore team so i don't really care if they have my number.

I used to get bill collector calls for someone I didn't know (I'd had this number for four years by that point so I don't know why they were calling my phone) and they'd call once a day every day for weeks on end.

Eventually they just stopped.

Happened to me when I first got this number,,,,,I kept getting calls for Juanita Brown....I said she no longer has this number, it belongs to me now....But i guess they thought they were going to catch her slipping....I eventually went off on one of the poor East Indian clerks and I guess they finally got the picture

Bill collectors don't usually call back to back....They call consistently every day.  I think someone who you may have blocked or won't answer calls from is getting desperate.

Idk who would do that other than clients and there's no way a client has my personal number. Also on Android you can't truly "block" numbers just make it so certain numbers go straight to voicemail.

It was "Peggy".  Your Microsoft License has expired, you owe money to the IRS and the Sheriff is coming to arrest you, they have arrested your grandson and need $50K to bail him out, a rich relative has left you money and they need $$$ to process it and send it to you, your Microsoft Windows has viruses that can only be corrected by calling a number and giving them your SSN.

I......Don't know if that's true but even so, they aren't leaving VMs so why does that matter?

Idk I think you can actually block them but I've never found an easy way, like I think you have to actually talk to your service provider to truly block a number. The way I do is an option I can click on the phone that says "Block" but I've blocked numbers before and still got voicemails
