    Today, May 28th, 2025, I received a phone call from this company. I did not answer, as I did not know the number nor the company. After looking up the company and phone number related to said company, I’m finding that it’s a debt collection company. I’m unaware of any debt that I would possibly own right now. I refuse to answer phone calls related to any alleged debt that I do not know anything about and if you have further information, I’d like to request it here/via email. I do not want any more phone calls. Thank you.
