I received a call from a company called Gatestone. I initially ignored the call because I had no debt but decided to call them back the second time. They asked for my current address and prior address ( since I just moved ) which did not match their records and last XXXX digit of my SSN ( which they asked for and which I should not have given ). They then said it was for an XXXX CC I was a secondary for but I told them that I am not a secondary for any credit card or loan. They gave me the last XXXX digits of the supposed card and I confirmed with them I had no such account. They said they will then delete the my contact details ( work and cell numbers - which they used to call me ) from the account. I called them back because I decided to call XXXX and I did not recall the last XXXX digits of the account they said I had. I was able to talk to the agent assigned to my case and he provided the last XXXX digits. Note, that I had no issues calling this company and getting someone on the phone in the two instances I called them. 

I called XXXX and they confirmed that I have no account ending with the XXXX digits in all my current and prior accounts with them and that they do not work with such debt collection company. They also said that they call their customers directly about unpaid balances and do not go straight to a collection agency. 

I tried to call the company back and let them know about my conversation with XXXX and suddenly unlike prior instances, my call went into voicemail for the " XXXX XXXX Department ''. This never happened in the two other times I called them and I called during office hours. I left a voicemail anyway indicating that I have talked to XXXX. Now, I am worried because they have my cell, work numbers, my current address and last XXXX digits of my SSN and I am now wondering if they created this phantom debt or bogus account digits for a debt supposedly I have to get personal information.
