i received a letter with no return address, addressed to my estate. the letter read that I was deceased and my estate information needed to be turned over to them to handle my bills. I called the XXXX number listed on the letter and a man answered. I gave him the reference number on the letter, told him i was not deceased and what was the letter regarding. the gentleman kept repeating his name and that all calls were monitored and proceeded to ask my personal information. i gave him the reference number again and asked him to identify whom he was representing before i gave any additional information. he continued to stammer and did not tell me anything outside of his name. I told him that this was a tactic to collect a debt and to open contact with me as by then i had gone through my cell phone call log and found the exact number called me 82 times in one week, but it was blocked per my request from my cell provider. I told him to refer me to a supervisor or someone who could tell me what was going on and why they use such a morbid tactic to gain my information. he said i could not and i hung up and called again. The next agent did not identify herself, simply answering " hello? '' I explained the situation and she asked for my information again. i refused and asked her to identify herself or transfer me to her superior, she refused. i gave her the reference number and she said she would remove my name from their list. I asked her what list and informed her that if she is acting as a debt collector, she has to tell me who the debt originated from. she refused and i ended the conversation. This company sent me a letter saying i was deceased and to turn over my financial information, never did they say who the original creditor was or the amount of the debt. This was an attempt to gain my information as means to collect a debt which they never identified.This company called me XXXX times over the course of a week, if they were under the presumption i was dead, why bother? the company name is Philips, Cohen and Associates XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX DE XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX reference # XXXX
