This came in on a number which I acquired on Freedom Mobile in mid-2020. I've had many problems with sleazy debt collectors making repeated unsolicited calls, even though I have no legitimate dealings with them (or their clients) and owe nobody anything. These calls have made the number basically unusable. At this point, any claim any of these scum might have been trying to make against any previous subscriber at my number are long past the statute of limitations. Nonetheless, I've racked up more than seventy unsolicited inbound calls in the last two months from Virgin Mobile at +1-855-811-8330 attempting to collect money I don't owe. I can't verify that these are the same scoundrels (they've called three times in the last 24 hours, but mostly to either hang up without explanation or fail to properly identify themselves or the purpose of the call - a red flag as this conduct is typical of shifty debt buyers). It's very possible that they will keep shifting from one display number to another in an attempt to evade caller ID.

The latest call transcript (today) is this:

I'm getting two or three calls daily from these turkeys, which is likely illegal. Presumably a fly-by-night debt collector, calling a number which has had ongoing problems with being spammed daily with spurious or dishonest collection attempts from Virgin Mobile, +1-855-811-8330 - which went on for more than 75 calls over about two months (late August, all of Sept, most of October). I am not their client. I have no dealings with them and owe them nothing.

The harassing calls appear to be switching Caller ID displayed number daily, in an attempt to evade spam blocking. The numbers I'm seeing so far are.
