phone call, no message left.

called my cell phone 10/26/09 7:24PM WHEN I CALLED BACK IT BELONGS TO AMERICREDIT. I have no debt as i live at home, so i will report that company as I am listed on the do not call list.

Someone called me from this number today asking me for information about a friend of mine. I asked what is this about? They told me it was for a credit reference and asked me to verify his phone #, where he worked, and his address. He has used me as a job refererence before but I was hesitant to give them any info. I called him and he said he had not applied for any credit or jobs lately.

The company is Americredit. They do car loans. If someone you know used you as a reference when they got their car loan, and they get behind on payments, the company will call you. They called me and said that my sister had listed me as a reference. I opened up a little to much because I thought it was for a job or something. Now that I admitted who I am, they call non-stop. There are numerous complaints on the internet about this company's collection practices.

These people called and left a msg looking for my dads brother who I don't even speak to. I don't even have the same last name as him so how they connected me to him, I don't know? I called back and left them a msg stating that they are never to call me again. This is really ridiculous that I'm being harassed by collections for my astranged uncle!

seems to be some kinda debt collector.  sometimes they leave a message asking for someone that used my name as a reference.

I just received a call from this number. She said she was from GM Financing. I asked how she got the number and she wouldn't tell me. So I told her I couldn't give her any information either.

Someone by the name of Sophia called, said she was calling as a reference for a co-worker I know.  How she got this info and connected us is beyond me.  She then said it was for credit reasons and wanted to contact him.  I didn't give her any of his info.  I told her I would give him her info and have him contact her.  When I confronted him about it he denied sharing any of my information with her or knowing anything about it.

They Called asking for a person I never heard of. Said that person put my name down as a relative and secondary contact. Then asked me if that person was related to another person with my same last name. Turned out that person is my stepmother but I did not tell them that on the phone. Freaky! I told her this was wrong and take my number off list. Never heard from them again. Weird!!

I got a call from this company asking for my husband...regarding HIS SON, who we have little contact with.  How they got MY number, I don't know.  They left me a message with a person's name and 800 number and extension for my step son to call.  If it's regarding a car loan, that's very strange because he is no longer allowed to drive.  I should file a complaint!!

Were looking for a friend who put me down as a reference.  Operator was polite and asked if I did not want to be contacted again by them.

"[They] were looking for a friend who put me down as a reference."

Is it true that people have to provide personal references a lot these days?  The only time I've had to do that was when I was applying for jobs forty years ago.  I've never been asked for personal references to get a credit card or buy a house or car or to borrow money - nothing other than a job application.

So, it would be very suspicious to me if someone told me I was named as a reference for someone.  I think it's a psychological ploy designed to easily get information out of a person.

Is 'giving references' really so common these days.

Pls. consider reading previous posts.  Did you actually answer call, or was it simply a message on phone?  Seriously doubt this is a valid inquiry.  Just a phising expedition.

I simply asked one question.  To make it clear, I asked that question in my first sentence and repeated in the last.  I did not say they called me.

called a few minutes ago and left a message stating my name and asked me to call them by 8pm Mountain Time in reference to two names.  I will report them to the authorities and I am and have been on the NO CALL List for years..
