Left me a messege on voicemail.  Acted like she was my friend.  She didnt say what company she was calling from or anything.

Caller identifies herself as "Annie Wheeler"... Very urgently wants to talk to you. Gives no further information.

She's with Olympic or Olympia Collections.

left no message but, prompted a "please call" text to my phone instead

Ann Wheeler of Olympic Collections is a Seattle-based collection agency and is hired by all manner of businesses to get you to pay your bills but I believe they have a lot of clients from the medical community since all my bills are medical related. They are paid on a commission basis, probably a 50/50 or 60/40 split. While the name is probably a pseudonym, she is very real.  Since my PT bill was over 10 months old, go back 9 months or longer and if you can recall a medical visit that you haven't paid, chances are your provider has hired their services.

This is their livelihood, and they will use any sales tactic you can think of to close the deal since sales is a numbers game. The more calls you make, the higher your chance of success.  The only difference between them and the window treatment company is that they have a heckofa lot more information on you and the law on their side to be a bit more pesky in order to get you to talk to them.    

Ann uses cozy warm up lines on her voicemails such as the following, taken straight off my voicemail:    

"Christine, I'm trying very hard to get ahold of you-- you like NEVER answer your phone. Call me... this is Anne."

"Christine,  this is Anne Wheeler again. I'm trying to get in touch with you guys, either you or John call me back, OK? I'm right here in Seattle so it's not long distance."

"Christine, you may not remember me, but this is Anne Wheeler, and I'd really like to get in touch with you and I'm trying really hard, so please call me back, OK?"  

Keep in mind that if you are using *67 to block your number from caller ID, this method is not completely foolproof. From immediately hitting *69 to dial the last number who called you from using equipment that has been tampered with to remove blocks, there are always ways to find out who is calling.  I hope this information has been useful for you.

The telephone number is a land line at lat 47.61 long -122.33, there are a few apartment buildings around Freeway Park as well as Virginia Mason at 9th and Seneca.

the woman said she was from Betsy Hardware

This is Olympic Collection Inc, sent me a text message which failed to identify who it was, which is illegal under the fair debt collection law.
