They're a pain in the backside. They don't know who they're calling. Just phishing for your ID/data.... Give them nothing!

Emily from PRA group asking for someone that used to live at this address. I'm guessing it's about a debt after reading other comments here..

This number rang my landline on Tuesday 15th June 2021 at 2:11 in the afternoon. A message was left on my answering machine, asking me to call back. The name "Peter Tobin" was mentioned. As I know nobody by that name I see no reason to call back. Number now barred.

Phishing for information, they want all your details before they will say who they are or why they are calling you. They will not confirm that they are debt collectors, they will not provide their trading address Had no letter waiting for the jackboots kicking in the dor at 5am
