The nicest gift my spouse has given me was a Panasonic phone that has the capability to block something like 2000 phone numbers.  I look every unknown number up on Whitepages.com - reverse number - and if I can tell it's from some soliciting person/company, that number goes right into call blocking.  It's really cut down on the number of these more-than-annoying calls!

Someone or something called from this number very early this morning. Since I unplug my phones at night, I did not hear the phone ring. Checked Caller ID and there was the telephone number. I also received a call from them last week. Same MO, they call and do not leave a message. I have no idea what they want, nor do I care. One suggestion I have for other folks who might get an inclination is to NOT CALL back any phone numbers, from which you do not know. Some of these agencies have phone number trackers, similar to a reverse number locater. If a person calls back, this "tracker" sends them a message that one of the case numbers they initially called, has tried to call them back. In that particular event, these scoundrels now know that they have a correct form of communication with you, through your own phone number! They can also attach this information to your credit report, which collection agencies can monitor. A long time ago, I fell into financial trouble, this has since been resolved. I charged an airplane ticket to one of my alternate credit cards for my boyfriend. I used HIS Daughter's phone number as a contact for the transaction. The next thing we know, all these various collectors' were calling her house! Needless to say, she was not happy with me.

ID was "PRIVATE CALLER." Caller was live female wo did not ID herself or company but jusdt asked if I knew 2 certain people. I asked to be removed from their call list as I am on DO NOT CALL *which they blatantly ignore). I then contacted attorneys who handle class-action lawsuits against these jokers. Here is attorney information: 1-855-301-2100. They seem reputable and have good results from the lawsuits. Understand there are no fees usually.

Received a phone call from this number. Shows on Caller ID as Advanta Techno. I do not answer calls from numbers I do not know. If it is important, they can leave a message and I will call them back. No message left.

United Recovery Systems spoofs their phone numbers so it looks like a local call. I answered a call today from a local number 918-770-7192 (URS is in Houston, TX) that showed up as Unknown on my caller ID. I later looked the number up, which happens to be Jim and Mary's Carpet Installation. Anyway, I looked further into my caller ID and found that they also called from 281-901-6991 which shows up as Private on my caller ID. I also found about 4 Private calls with no number. I wonder how long this will go on? I made a note on Jim and Mary's web page that their phone number is being used by these people.

They seemed obliged not to call my number again but I also told them that (being that they couldnt even pronounce my name) I did not know that person. Still these ppl are dumb and easy to get "in the wash"

caller id indicated private name , novalink  community, keep calling every day.
call for my father in law , he is deceased. three years ago.

Called and didn't leave a message.  Caller ID indicated "Private" caller.

do not give to your address.

called about my mother in law, She does not owe money to anyone.

Did you read any of the above postings?  They are debt collectors and debt collectors are not covered by the Do Not Call list so it appears you are also unaware of the purpose of and the working of the Do Not Call list.

i am currently enrolled in the "Do Not Call List ".. & these ppl continue to call my number..

Just called me a while ago and will not respond to my questions! Bunch of people that have nothing better to do than scam others! Hope they get found and prosecuted for their Bullsh**!

Caller Id states:  ADVANTA TECHNOL
When you call the number it is United Recovery Systems.

They are trying to cover their identity so you will answer. I never answer a call that I do not know who they are.

Stop calling my house

didn't know who was calling. didn't answer.  deleted

Unwanted - calls - please stop - N/A

Calls my business several times a day whether I answer or not.  Automated message, I try hitting 1 to talk to someone to get info or get off calling list but they just hang up.  Scam debt collectors, no debt owed by us.  Wish I could find 'em in real life and teach them a few lessons their parents didn't.

Its United Recovery Systems

keeps calling for my husband, refuses to identify themselves
Call number shows up on ID as private home

Just another number used by United Recovery Systems.  Debt collectors.  There is a long list of numbers these scum use to harass people.  We don't owe anyone anything, but they continue to call and answering them and asking them to stop calling will do you no good.

Either block them if you can or ignore them.
