My elderly mother received a call from a different phone number last Thursday.  The caller was rude and threatening and told her that she had better call another number (1-866-549-7317) immediately and give them the case number that the caller then gave her.  Although we've gone over NOT doing stuff like this repeatedly, she called the number.  The man who answered asked her some questions like "Have you ever been to Kentucky", and a few other locations, and then said that he was looking for someone who has a different middle initial than my mother.  She (and again, I can't believe she did it) confirmed this by giving him the last four digits of her S.S. #, and the man seemed satisfied that my mom was not the person he was looking for.  

HOWEVER, this afternoon someone called again from 1-855-268-2639, identified himself as "Mike West" and then left a message basically threatening to come for her because she had been given every opportunity to call them with the case number and had not.

And for the record?  My mom has no outstanding debts.  I know this because I handle all of her finances.  These people are ill-informed bullies, and if I hear from them again I'll be contacting my attorney.

I posted this here because when I Googled "Mike West", this site came up.

I received numerous back to back calls from this supercilious a***ole. Not until after the first call did he identify himself as a collection agent. He was seeking personal information or a call back from a friend of mine, but the jerk refused to even provide his own name. The calls continued despite my request that I be taken off the list and that he desist.

Received a call from an unknown number telling me to call the 1-888 number. I called the number and some woman answered saying the company was BOR firm and that she wanted me to verify my social and address before they would tell me what they were calling about...I did not give them any information and I told them and to stop calling. She refused and so I hung up in her face. After that I've received 4  unknown calls back to back.

Who or what is BOR

Calls and say his name is Mike West saying to call 888-848-0721

Received message similar to others at a different number, but the person said the company was BOR FIRM in NY.  No other info provided.
