National Action Financial Service Recording from this number threatens to take action against us. ripoff Buffalo New York
This is the second time I have received one of these suspicious recordings. Cut off at first, the male voice states "...this is Mr. Underhill." Then something like "We have tried to get in contact with you several times, and we are forced to take action. Please call this number." (Some 800 number I think.) That's it.
I am home a lot, we are not hard to reach. We do not owe anybody anything that is overdue, to my knowledge. I am afraid to call that number, because I think it's some kind of a scam. I got a similiar call within the last 4-6 months. I thought it was a scam then too, but this time I hit *69 to identify the caller.
This really bugs me. If somebody wanted to talk, why don't they? Or write? This just seems strange.

Those strange messages you are getting are called "dialer calls" National Action Financial Services has an automatic dialer, someone inputs all the phone numbers they have into this computer program then a automated phone dials the number and when a person or machine picks up it leaves a generic message. There is no Mr Underhill. He is a made up name so that when a person calls back the collector knows they are responding to a dialer message. Its not a scam per se but it is a way of tricking debtors into calling in. If you dont owe any money the either a relative used your number or the person they are looking for had your number at one time.
