I've been getting calls every day for the last month. I answered the first time and I got the "this is a personal business call for ____, can you verify your social security number?" I didn't want to give the number so I hung up. They call every day with different numbers(same area) and always hang up on my voice mail. I'm waiting to hear where they're from or get something in the mail before contacting them. The only bill I owe is my student loan. I suppose that's what it's from. It's a government loan though. I would expect they would contact me first. It is my cell phone. Is there something I can do?

Edit: Just a tip for anyone getting calls on their cell. There's an app called "Pf voicemail+". It unblocks private numbers and there's an option to send those or numbers outside your contact list straight to voice-mail. It works great.

Sorry, but if those examples are something to be proud of and not common behavior it seems pretty sad. If you've been to other countries I don't understand why any of those would be out of the ordinary.

I just tried to call 3 of the numbers and they are out of service. Same numbers that have called the past 3 days. I check my credit every week so I don't know what it could be, other than that loan (from 13 years ago) . It seems aggressive for a scam though.

My boyfriends parents have been robbed twice in the past couple of years. One of his friends was just mugged last week. The only thing stopping him from leaving the country permanently (along with everyone else) is fear about leaving his family behind in that hell hole.
