Yep just got a call from this number today. i answered so they hung up lol. Still at it i guess.

I received a few calls from an automated female voice stating I owe a debt.  I was instructed to call back some other number.  It is a scam, if I owed money on a past bill the creditor would mail you out a letter stating you are overdue.  I think this is a scam.  I have not received any letters for overdue bills or debts.  I will not give return the call or give any info out over the phone.  I am going to block this phone number on my cell.

They had my social secuirity number and address and my friend is a cop who is in Jersey City and she said she is looking into it now as many peopke are getting this call from that area They wil; get them.

As it turns out they are a junk debt buyer. They buy OLD debts for pennies on the dollar - verified from the original creditor or not.
They stated that I owed on a Columbia House purchase from 2007 (over six years ago). I had never received any notification in writing from them (#1 No-No as per the FDCPA), and now they're calling my house telling me that they'd 'Settle' for a mere $230 or so.
I stated that I never had ordered anything from Columbia House (denied debt), told them to not contact me again via phone, and now we wait and see if they go any further.
I will be reporting their number.

Received it at a landline, the automated message asked for someone that doesn't live here. It gave an option to  indicate that they called the wrong number, so I pressed it and it said "Sorry for the inconvenience".

Received a call from this number,it was dead air, hung up and sent a txt message asking who is this, only to find out that it was a landline phone number.

The person uses a heavy male voice and doesn't say my name, doesn't give his name. He never mentioned the name of the company he is calling from/ for either. He doesn't say why he is calling, but he is looking forward to hear from me if I call his toll free 866 or 886#. All of my numbers are the Do Not Call list and all of my major debts that were greater than $1000 were paid off thru other debt collectors years ago.  My last debt to my old bank was satisfied so I don't owe anyone.

He called late Feb 2013 using this other cellphone # 201-942-4118. These people use cellphones now. I'm not going to return his calls but will give all of his contact info to State Atty General & FCC.

IT WAS A PRERECORDED MESSAGE ASKING ME TO PRESS #1 IF IT WAS ME! :)))

HAD SUCH CALLS BEFORE SO I KNOW THAT THEY ARE SCAMMERS, CRIMINALS, PROBABLY CALLING FROM NIGERIA USING INTERNET NUMBER TO PRETEND THEY ARE IN THE UNITED STATES!!

BEWARE OF THESE SCAMMERS WHO WILL TRY TO STEAL YOU MONEY AND YOUR IDENTITY!!!

They call to scam people - even if you owe some money, somewhere, do not admit to them as they will steal your identity and put you in a deeper debt. Only way to pay any past due accounts is directly to the original lender or you go to court to let a judge decide.

Got the same message "i'm trying to reach you ... a personal matter ... can reach me at 866-421-4998 ... i must tell this is a collection of a debt". Probably a scam.

I just received a call from this number, aparently from a Mr. Roiter (SP). Well i didnt take the call, but the message say the unusual "i'm trying to reach you ... a personal matter ... can reach me at 866-421-4998 ... i must tell this is a collection of a debt".

Go figure, i paid all my debts. Uhm.

She called me at 6:30 in the morning and left a message saying she was calling to collect an unpaid debt [that I do not have]. Left no company name or real hard fast information.

I just recieved a phone call from this number and a recorder came on saying that it was an important message. It wanted me to call back ASAP but it didnt give a name.
