Didn't answer.  A name of "incoming call" sounded fishy to me.  Come on, don't they think we are intelligent enough to know that when our phones ring the call is incoming rather than outgoing??

Dear sweet Ashley Martin calling me yet again (This chick gets around!  Sometimes she calls from CA, sometime UT, sometimes OH, etc.) with EXACTLY the same spiel about having talked about lowering the interest rate on my cards, blah, blah, blah.

Pure drivel!  

I love Google Voice!  Next time they call from this number, they'll get a "number disconnected" message.  However, since this chick *does* get around, I'm sure she'll call me yet again from yet another number offering me help I don't need with problems I don't have and certainly never talked to her about!

The national pandemic of telephone terrorism perpetrated by desperate criminal collection agencies and scam artists of every despicable sort is because they are trying to terrorize people who are naive enough to answer and submit to unsolicited telephone calls or written "collection" letters that have no legitimate legal debt associated with them or any of the companies, universities, or whomever else they claim to represent. Because most "little guys" were bankrupted by the criminal Wall St / Congress / Big Oil / Big Bankers / Big Business / Military / Robber Barons, so the desperate collection agencies are attempting to collect unpaid debts from innocent people by terrorizing them into submission. News reports claim that some of these nefarious rogue calls are originating from overseas, where the caller claims to be a relative down on his or her luck who needs hundreds or thousands of dollars to get out of trouble, a policeman or government agent threatening their unwitting victims with lawsuits, fines, garnishments, seizures of property and imprisonment, and any other unconscionable tactic they can use to terrify and swindle the unwary out of their life savings.

Word of advice. NEVER answer any calls you don't recognize or are not expecting. Use selective call rejection service if available, or switch to an Internet-based telephone service which provides comprehensive call rejection options. If rogue calls become chronic, turn off all the ringers on all of your phones except one, and set its volume to the minimum setting. Digital hardware call blockers, the popular "DIGITONE Call Blocker 10" for example, could help or do harm depending on how high-tech and aggressive the rogue callers are against your phone number. The more technology you use against them, the more likely they will use technology more aggressively against you to the point where your phone could ring more frequently from rogue calls and in middle of the night hours. So staying lower-tech could actually help to keep your phone a bit more under their unrelenting predatory radar. If you don't answer the call and the caller is legitimate, they will usually leave a voicemail after the first or second try. Rogue callers almost never leave voicemail messages because that could be used as evidence against them if it came to a lawsuit, albeit spoofed calls are backed by governments and corporations, so there is nothing the little guy can do against such illegitimate activities but to block and ignore them. If you receive a rogue letter in the mail warning you of some "collection" action against you, if you don't actually owe it, reply with a short letter stating that you don't owe it. Or if you do owe all or part of it, reply with something like "You claim I owe you a debt. Under §809 FDCPA, I request validation of this debt."

Only give them your name as THEY have written it to you (e.g. ?John Doe? not ?Jonathon Q. Doe? or however you normally sign your own name), address, and the account number they report. But if you do not owe the debt (zombie debt, aged debt, mistaken or stolen identity, forgery, etc.) state that you have never done any business with them or with the (alleged) original creditor of any kind and you expect the collection agency to close the matter, stop harassing you and take any bad credit marks they've caused off of your credit rating, and furthermore, that any further contact from them must be in writing on their official business correspondence letterhead. Send your letter to them a.s.a.p., always within thirty days, first class certified mail return receipt requested. If they refuse it and you get the letter back unopened, leave it unopened and save it in your files as evidence against them should they pursue legal action against you. If they did receive it and continue to pursue action against you, let them. The judge will throw it out of court. If the rogue collection agency sells your account to another rogue collection agency just tell them the claim has been proven invalid and offer to send them a copy of your letter to the previous rogue collection agency.

Warn all your friends about this rash of desperate collection agency terrorism, and how to combat it. Knowledge is power. The more you learn how to combat rogue collection agencies, back-taxes scammers, phishing scammers, "faith and family" scammers, political action committees and other low-life flimflammers, the more you will learn how easy it is to do.

Above all, keep a record of everything, of every rogue call w/ caller ID information displayed including time and date of each call. Maintain a complete file on any snail-mailed intimidation from rogue collection agencies, including copies of all correspondences and postal receipts. Reporting rogue calls on sites like 800notes.com, whocallsme.com, phoneowner.info is a great idea too, because many people find these sites by googling for the rogue number(s) after receiving calls from them.

The call was received on a cellular phone on 01/10/2013 at 7:19 p.m. CST in violation of the FCC Do Not Call Registry.  The call was a pre-recorded telemarketing call representing a legal firm seeking litigants for class action litigation against pharmaceutical company or companies (aka: ambulance chasing). I immediately filed a  formal complaint  with the FCC after receiving the call.

I received a message on my cell phone a couple of hours ago on 1-10-13. The message said, "Thank you for calling back. If you are not interested in receiving any future calls regarding our special promotions and would like to be placed on our do not call list, please press 1 now!" I pressed 1 and ...that is all she wrote.

My advice: do not answer the phone when they call. the call was regarding medical issues and how you might be eligible for compensation. when i went thru the phone system to get to a live person, TINA answered the line- first thing she asked for was my name and contact info (i didn't give it).  instead, i asked for my name to be removed from their registry and she hung up on me.

Received a call from this number at 15:37 MST - this is the 5th or 6th such call I've received - I didn't answer because I was in a meeting, and I hadn't answered previously because I don't answer unknown calls. At any rate, no message left. My number is on the DNC as well. I called it back and it asked if I wanted to opt out of marketing, so I did that. Guessing it's not going to make a difference.

Now we are getting calls from attorneys that record their message and we are on the other side of the states from them and so would never have had dealings with them.  The "Do Not Call " list is not very effect if they can call to have you sue somebody and or become part of a Class Action Suit.  FAA HELP us!!
