I have gotten 2 calls within the last month of someone trying to get a hold of my neighbor. I live in an apartment building and they just call a number that they can find in the same building and then tell me some bogus excuse that they are trying to speak to my neighbor and her phone isn't working so could I please go over there and give her a message! Please! Do I look like I was born yesterday? Poor lady. She probably disconnected her phone and now these credit card people are letting her neighbors know that she has problems?!?! I've heard of calling family members but they have stooped to a new low!

This is very common. It's called skip tracing.
