They just called me identifying themselves as Data Max and asking for me by my first name, which I do not go by. Then asked me to verify my home address. I told the lady I don't give out any personal information over the phone to anyone I don't know. She argued with me saying I had spoken to several people in that office before. I told her unless she told me who she was and why she was calling I wasn't telling her anything as I have never talked to anyone at Data Max. She refused to tell me why she was calling and would only say "personal business". I did collections for years on both auto and medical debts. It is illegal for anyone to call you and refuse to tell you who they are when they are trying to collect a debt. If these are debt collectors then I have no clue who they are or what they are collecting on because as far as I know, I don't have any debts that I am not paying.

Caller would not identify themselves but wanted my personal information, when I refused to answer the questions that the caller asked and attempted to ask who they were and the nature of the call the person ended the call. They ended the call refusing to identify the company or reason for the call.

This woman just called my cell phone and asked for me by first name. She then stated my address and asked if this is where I live. I asked whose calling. She was very rude and stated my address again. Asking if this is where I live. I asked who is this? She said I will call you later. Almost eery to hear this woman's hateful voice and would not tell me who she was. Bad business! Scary!

Sent collection notice to my 83 yr old father, on a bill from a company he has never used. I am wondering if they are committing fraud, trying to take advantage of the elderly who might think they owe something they do not? i know my fathers accounts, i am his bookkeeper.
