Ever get really weird text messages?

RE: Ever get really weird text messages?
I get “hey” about 2-5 times a month for over a year from someone I stopped talking to over a year ago.

The issue is that it's a moving target - the debt keeps going from collector to collector. When it starts up again it's never the same outfit.

I could be mistaken, but I believe it's the responsibility of the new debt collector to verify numbers listed as do not call.

If they're using an autodialer, it's moot. Autodialers are an automatic violation.

I haven't received any random nudes yet... but I'm hopeful.

Depends on the weirdness of the sender, no?

Maybe - they definitely are using a robodialer.

Bust 'em for the robodialer if nothing else. You don't even have to be on the do not call list for that to be a no-no. Smile

Got a link? I have a bunch of people who need spanking by whatever means the po po uses on them.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

That's only because I haven't managed to crack your number yet.





I really shouldn't have typed that out loud, should I?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You can report them here.

It's just the National Do Not Call Registry site, but right there on the front page you can report any number using a robodialer. I've cut my robocall's way down since I started turning the bastards in. While you're there, add your number. It doesn't stop them all, but it sure cuts down on the new ones.

No, I don't want your "free" cruise, take me off your list. No, I don't want your "free" cruise, take me off your list. No, I don't want your "free" cruise, take me off your list. No, I don't want your "free" cruise, take me off your list. No, I don't want your "free" cruise, take me off your list. No, I don't want your "free" cruise, take me off your list.

Report robocall.

Silence is golden! Big Grin

ETA: Try to milk the asshole on the other end for as much information as possible before actually reporting them. Many of them use phone number spoofing making it harder to track them. Having a company name and especially a contact name is a load of help.
