I just got off the phone after having a very weird conversation with a lady.. this is how it went:

*phone ringing*

Me: Hello?

*lots of background noise* Uhh.. Hi is Michael home?

Me: No hes at work, can i take a message?

Lady: My name is Julie and i need to speak to him, is there anyway i can get in contact with him?

Me: Yep, i have his mobile number...

Julie: Can i have it please? I really need to speak to him about an important issue

Me: Sure.. can i ask what it is regarding?

Julie: Umm, i don't think i have authority to speak to you about it, i am guessing this is Jacinta?

Me: Yes i'm she, also where are you calling from..?

Julie: Give me a minute ill have a look through the account and see if i can talk to you about this.....your name is here but there is no where saying i can talk to you..

*goes quiet while whispering to herself*

Julie: Yep i need to speak to him so can i get his mobile number please?

Me: Ok then, **** *** ***

Julie: So is he working at Dan Murphys still?

Me: Um, no hes not he left there a little while ago.

*goes on for a few mins chatting about his work*

Julie: Ok thanks sweetie i will give him a call and sort this matter out, have a nice day

*hang up phone*

I'm just confused that if im on the account why she couldn't talk to me, she couldn't even tell me what company shes from or give me a number to pass on to him.


I called him straight after i hung up and he has no idea who this Julie person is and doesn't know what it could be about, Hes also a little peeved i gave her his number and told her where he works.

Does this sound like a normal call from a debt collector??
