a voicemail was left but when the name of the person they were calling for it was distorted....then when they said their call back number i heard 757 then distortion.....either they are  calling form a messed up cell phone or they just dont want me to know the name they are looking for or a number to call back..... either way its a scam. Oh by the way she said there are preliminary paperwork that need a final review.

They called me at work today.  Once I said I was out of the office (lol), they didn't want to leave a message.  I get calls on my cell constantly from several companies about a "file" & "giving a recommendation"...all of my bills have passed the statute of limitations for my state (Calif - 4 yrs) that they can sue me (garnish my wages).  I just ignore them.  My credit is already wrecked due to a divorce & following foreclosure, so I could care less about my credit rating anymore.

Got the same message and different ones keep calling and leaving similar messages, and leaving 757-296-0078 & 757-296-0104.  Who is this?/ Does anyone know??

How is it a scam? because they will not tell you why they are calling for someone other than you?
If it was a scam they would be trying to scam you... not ask how to reach someone else.

Perhaps so many posts are listed because the company is trying not to give out other people's information protected by the FDCPA...
this post was from 5/24/12. It is 1/26/13 and people are still posting... the company must not be shut down. Maybe they are trying to do something right, as frustrating as it may be.

Did you ever stop to think they may have a wrong number? Perhaps the person they are calling for had your number before you. They will never know until you tell them so expect another call, and another until the problem is fixed. If they are calling for you then why avoid it?

Over 450,000 people in this country are debt collectors. They are normal people. Why avoid a debt collector? Most people that owe a debt want to pay it in a manner they can afford. If you cannot agree on terms or you do not want to pay for any other reason, it does no good to avoid contact. The collector has no idea what your situation is until you tell them and you may be surprised with what they are willing to do to HELP you. If you tell a debt collector you will not or cannot pay, they usually will not want to waste their time calling you and look for other options instead. Debt collectors are normal people despite the inflated reputation the media has given them from abusive practices by a few bad apples. I would hate to judge every athlete by the actions of one cheater, or every teacher by the one who had illegal relations with a student.

This is the voicemail: "Hate me maybe 9. I am giving you a call today in regards to the paperwork that I have received in my own fees are based on information that I happen to know me, we have and have the opportunity to have a conversation with you in regards to these matters. I wanted to thank them for you. In order for me to make it. I'll say a recommendation. Al will be in my office today until 5:30. The number to call me back at 87572046376. Thank you."

Zombie debt collectors

Another call from this number, someone by the name of Nichole Blah Blah....concerning a file? Left message this time to call back to 757-204-6319.

Get these calls but they talk so fast, half their message is missing before the phone even records them...concerning a file? Left message to call back to 757-296-0104

Ive been geting these calls every day does not say who she is calling for but we are suppose to call her back she has a file that came accross her desk.

Called today about some prelim paperwork and left a message but no name. Call back number was from a 757 area code.  Talked so fast you could barely understand them. Didn't say who the call was for!E

I too get this same phone call numerous time a day. Today she threatened to put me in jail!!!

Don't know if it will help but I filed a complaint with www.ftc.gov

They call every day, all day long, leaving threatening messages... do not call them back!!!!!

Got one today using the name Amy Hollister. The interesting part is that she makes no mention of who she's trying to reach. Just says that my file came across her desk. Also gave a call back number with a 757 area code.

I received this same phone call, but the woman said her name was Star. Right.

These ppl get extremely rude when you wont give them all your info,

If they have what they say they have then mail it to me, certified and quit blowin up my phone

Dont understand why someone cant stop them.  They are scammers !!!!

Being harassed by someone at this number almost daily. Positive that it's a scam, but can't figure out how to get them to stop calling me.

Debt collector trying to use scare tactics. Keep track of when they call and save any threatening or harassing messages.  They break several federal laws proctecting consumers in their attempts to collect on old zombie debts (yes that is a real term)

Get these calls daily but they talk so fast, half their message is missing before the phone even records them...concerning a file that came across their desk? Different people each time and they never leave the same number to call them back at.

I get these calls almost every day on my cell phone. They are trying to contact a Christie and I told them multiple times to stop and they keep calling. I wish someone will do something, it should be illegal to annoy people over the phone.

APRIL, DON'T CALL BACK.

These guys are getting ready to be shut down
due to their breaking laws concerning the FDCPA
