call me on my what's up and I think is fake guy keep asking wear questions such as investments

Receive constant calls, probably twice a day. I hang up. It's irritating!

GARBLED TALKING DID NOT IDENTIFY

User of this phone is conducting some kind of PHISHING scam. They call announcing that they are from the US Financial Department. When I told them there was no such department they hung up the phone. When I called them back and asked what company they represented they hung up the phone. BTW SPOKEO you need to allow caller type to be manually typed or add SCAM CALLER to your drop down list. Not all calls that get reported are from legal businesses. Not all illegal calls are prank calls! This one is FRAUD and they need to be caught.

Received same call from this number stating he was calling from the US Government Finance Department to let me know that my number was selected to received $5,600 for paying taxes on time? Sounded suspicious therefore, I starting asking questions about the nature of why and what it was for and he hung up. I called the number back and a lady answered the phone and said she would check to see who had called me (foreign accent). She also said they were from the US Government Finance Department and she also hung up! Sounds like a scam to me.

Continues to call even after asked not to do so

Rude, obnoxious call. Asking personal questions about weight and health.

telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story? The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he: is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize; refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number; asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency. If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector: Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you. Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing. Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name. Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt. Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

Calls and hangs up.
