people collecting debts will go to ANY lengths...

recently someone called me and their intro had me concerned that my son had 
been in an accident and was in the hospital: "is this Lynn R... , and is 
your son named Nathan... you are listed as his emergency contact..." Upon 
further questioning, I became aware that something was 'not right' and 
finally she ended the conversation by telling me that it was extremely 
urgent for my son to call her... still giving me no info.  I called my son 
who was familiar  with this caller, she was repping  a creditor with a 
several-times-sold collection issue.

They are ruthless... one guy called me many years ago, also about my son and 
began to threaten me... he had already given me his name and company name. I 
later looked it up... the website indicated a seemingly large company and 
office building up in the New England areas some where.  Upon further 
research, I found out the real company address was a PO Box address and the 
website link was all phony baloney.  After that I feigned not being in touch 
with said son and finally the calls stopped, until the one above which was 
only in August.  I fear "they" have my number now.  I wonder where this 
industrious person got my number as an emergency contact (or who violated my 
privacy by providing it)?
