this isnt true,
i used to work as a collector for wells fargo, anytime you provide a phone number when getting a loan, or a bank account, or a mortgage, or a car, or ANYTHING finance related, even the "reference" phone numbers such as friends and family, all of the numbers you put down on those papers will be added to a national database tied to your SSN, at wells fargo when trying to reach people in debt if the number the registered on their account was invalid we had permission to plug their SSN into this database that ALL collection companies have access to, and we would see long lists of numbers for everything they've ever filled out, we were then allowed to call EVERY NUMBER we found until we reached the debtor, for everyone that answered we could only say is __ available, if they ask who we are we could say we are wells fargo trying to reach __ with important information, are they available/are you them? if we received any response other then a "yes i am them" then we call the next number in the list.
when we finally do reach the person, and they say yes i am them, that is when if they hang up we cannot call again for 7 days.
also, whenever you get a call from a suspicious phone number, just google it, theres always a wealth of info out there people just like the OP here who go online to report these things, though usualy on sites designated for it rather then conspiracy discussion websites, lol
