Is 800-900-1361 a legit number or a scam?

Hey, everyone. I’ve been getting calls from 800-900-1361 claiming to be from Penn Credit, a debt collection company. The voicemail is generic and just says it’s an attempt to collect a debt, but they don’t mention my name or any specific details.

I’ve checked my credit reports recently and don’t see any outstanding debts. Has anyone dealt with this number or Penn Credit before? Should I call them back to verify, or is this likely a scam? What’s the safest way to handle this? Appreciate any guidance!
 
Give them a call and ask what it’s about, but don’t share your identity or acknowledge the debt. Let them know any future communication must be sent by mail, but don’t provide your address. They should already have it.
