I recieved a phone call from the phone # 224 - 623 - 8985 I did not answer it but my caller id
identifies the name as .            Sixtelllcchi

This number keeps calling me at odd hours I don't anser because I screen all my calls who are they??

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.>

yes they called asking for a party that no longer lives at address.

These people call me daily.  I never answer a number I do not know.  However, I accidentally answered today.  They asked for a person  I never heard of.  When I told them I was not that person. (they were looking for a male, I am female), they assused me of lying.  I told them to never call again  (but not in nice words).  How do I stop this?  The Do Not Call list is a joke.

These. People keep calling for my husband saying he owes for magazines ($1000 but will settle for. $300 & check loan for $200).

These ppl will not stop calling me! They claim that I owe them for a magazine subscription that I never had!!

recieved multiple calls from number...  finally called it back (since I make it a point not to alswer UNK numbers)   I *67 and called the number back.   Lady said was Interstate and that's all she would tell me.  I took it upon myself to research the "business"  *JOKE*  It is/was in fact a Collection Agency

This number keeps calling my husbands cell.  The last straw was when they called after 12 am. I'm contacting the attorney general!

Company has called twice.  Said that I owed them $548.54 from a magazine subscription from 2007.  I told the lady that I do not subscribe to magazines, she asked if my address was an address  that I had never heard of and I told her that I had never lived there.  She then asked me the last four digits of me telephone number.  I said "you called me, what are they?".  She then rattled off five or six four digit numbers that were not even close to the last four digits of my number.  She then said to be removed from the list I should tell her the last four digits, I did and then I was hung up on.  I will call my telephone company later to try to find out what's going on.  If they call again, just hang up.

These people call me regularily and when I call them back they hang up on mei

stop callling

Scamming collection call "old magazines subscriptions" (old that you didn't actually order).
