RESTRICTED has been calling my cell phone. What gives with this?

Is it somebody calling me who's hiding their number?

No one important...just a bill collector.

That is what I was thinking, but it's pretty early in the morning.

Those burner phones, I mean Obamaphones recycle the numbers so often it's not uncommon to get someone else's phone calls!

It's probably Rachel, who wants to lower your interest rates or the people who sell extended service contracts for your car. These people annoy the hell out of me, and I have had the same phone number for 20 years. I block them after they call, and they call from another number next week.

No, no, it's a vanity number. One of your friends probably just got it. You can answer.

Just answer it. What are you afraid of? Oh right, bill collector.

There is an even better one:

"Your agreement is with United Healthcare. I have spoken to them and they said that you didn't file the claim on time so you will collect nothing. I can give you the number for my United account manager or my attorney, or you can have both but you may not call me again. "

Americans are so afraid of what other people can do to their credit rating, that businesses actually profit from the fear. People who don't know their rights or position are often bullied into paying money they don't have to pay.
