Crafty debt collector using a modified caller ID # that most systems can't recognize to block.

This is Progressive Financial Services, a junk debt buyer.  They call constantly asking for someone I have never heard of.  Why don't they spend a couple bucks and do a minute's worth of research to verify if the number they are calling is still valid and currently belongs to the person they are looking for?  Especially when they're calling about ten year-old or older debts?

Thank you Jeff. I am receiving calls from these people every day for weeks now. I have yet to answer a call and will simply block the numbers now. It didn't make sense to me until you explained it. There is no earthly reason for a debt collector to call me.  I'm happy to be debt-free for the first time in my life! Screw them!

and this number 866-484-0211
geez how many fake numbers do these creeps have

they also go by this number as well 602-453-8903

Got a call from these A holes on my cell phone with a fake caller ID # 1-866-484-021 notice the missing number at the end, see Jeff's post.

KEEP GETTING CALLS FROM THIS NUMBER((186-648-4021))..PEOPLE ARE VERY DISRESPECTFULL..KEEP TELLING THESE PEOPLE ''WRONG NUMBER'' BUT THE KEEP CALLING ..AND I AM ON THE ''DO NOT CALL LIST''..WHY?????SO ARGGREVATING!!!!!!10/28/2010

If you typed in this number, please read this.
Caller: Progressive Financial (debt collector), Tempe, Arizona.
These crafty devils are using caller ID software that intentionally and deceptively sends out their number as 186-648-4021. Take the "1" off the FRONT of the string of numbers (186-648-4021) and add it to the END to get (866-484-0211). This is the actual number they are calling from (see Better Buisness Bureau website:Progressive Financial, fourth number down the list).
Why would a reputable company do this? 186 is an invalid area code that most caller id blocking services cannot recognize and thus cannot block. The actual # they are calling from is toll free (866) 484-0211 but the number will show as 186-648-4021.
Here's mud in your eye Progressive!!!!!

Progressive Services will keep nagging you !  So put them on your "Do not Call list" &  problem is GONE!

The person who calls refuses to tell me who the company is and refuses to put her supervisor on the phone.  She is very argumentative and rude.

It was progressive financial services. i figured it was. but right after they call my cell they call the house phone.

some one called and asked for me and just hanged up the phone.
