f****ng music want the mother f****rs to stop calling

debt collector, they will keep calling and will not leave a message.  They will not remove you from their call list until you tell them they have the wrong number.

debt collector, they will never leave a message and will not remove you from thier calls list until you tell them they have the wrong number

2-3phone calls without leaving a message.
I REALLY want these people to stop dialing at random. I am the paying the phone bills not THEM

They start calling before 7 a.m., and I know that is illegal.

Calls from this number to my cell phone

CBE Group...Calls from a variety of area codes, one area code at a time for several weeks and then changes area code and phone number.  *Occasionally* will call from two different area codes in one days time.  I don't answer them 'cause I don't know who they're from until I "google" the number.

This number calls me at least 4 times per day.  I do not know them or have business with them.

I agree with You. I think  phones companies must make a list of the DROP OFF PHONES NUMBERS and  announcing it for at least 1 month any time that # rings  before giving the # to somebody else. Is absurd and annoyed to recive 10-15 calls on your cell and none of theme is for you.

Its the CBE Group - Bill collector

14, you're getting those calls because a) someone used your phone number on some credit application, lease, or other financial document, or b) the last person who had your phone number skipped out on some bills.  CBE has a history of harassing people to pay on bills that have already been paid off.

You are lucky, because you're young enough that your parents can send the police after them.  Which is what they should do if you get any more calls from this company.  Another thing to do is have your parents contact your state's Attorney General's office.  Harassing calls made to an adult are one thing.  Harassing calls made to a minor are a completely different thing and you can bet there will be some action from the AG.  (After all, he or she won't want to be painted as "someone who failed to protect our youth from a predator.")

STOP CALLING 5-6 times A DAY!!!
Call will start around 9am(PT) and 5-6 times a day and 5 days a week.
I will see several miss calls, but they NEVER leave a message.
Tf it's important enough then leave a message otherwise "STOP F****NG CALLING" people!!

Im 14 years old..I don't have a credit card and I don't owe any debt. I've never bee to Iowa and I don't know anyone from there..so why am I getting these calls from CBE..

Yesterday I got 3 calls from numbers I did not recognize. This one, the 319-242-7345, 877-335-8967, and 515-954-7670. I have found out now that the first and the last numbers that have called are both CBE numbers. I can't seem to find anything on the 877 number though. Ever since I got this phone number I have been getting calls like this. I used to answer them and they would always ask for the same person. I continued to tell them that this number was no longer connected to who they were looking for. Yet I get calls like this almost daily. It's very very annoying, but thanks to the information given by Fed Up Consumer, I will be sure to start answering again and to get these people to stop calling me!

Centennial Law in Ventura was so desperate to drive traffic to one of its several sloppy web sites that it ran a mass spam campaign for much of 2010 on several forums like this one.

This is another in that class of mercenary law firms which preys upon the fears of alleged debtors about as badly as the collectors. They do nothing which consumers cannot do for themselves at a much lower cost and far more wisely. My report from July 2011 is linked below.

I keep getting hurrassed by these jokers.

Like the rest of you, have been getting calls. I just added it to my blocked list. :-)

Answered phone and it is a bill collector.  Legitimate call on overdue credit card.

THey have called me six times today. 10/6/11. I never answer calls from numbers i do not recognize. No voicemails at all.

I've been getting 10+ calls a day from this number for over 2 weeks now. They never leave a voicemail. Once I picked up and the lady on the other end apparently couldn't hear me because she just kept saying "hello??" I've told them to stop calling me but they won't stop!!

rec'd a call just like everybody else - nobody was there.

Caller ID says CBE Group.  I have no idea why they are calling me.  I have not received anything in the mail from them.  They call my home phone and five minutes later they call my cell phone.  I am going to block them both.  They don't say anything when I answer the phone.

Often, the phone rings and there is no one on the line. What's going on?

Most telemarketing call centers use computerized automatic dialers, otherwise known as "predictive dialers" or "lead generators." These devices can dial hundreds, if not thousands, of calls per hour from a single center. If the computer detects a live person on the telephone, it summons the next available operator to break into the call. The delay you hear, when it sounds as if no one is there, is the time it takes for the operator to get on the line after you or your answering device has picked up the phone. Also, some companies do nothing but troll sequential lists of telephone numbers, just to document whether a "live" voice answers, then documents any successful connections along with the time, to sell to telemarketing firms or to follow up with sales calls.

What should I do when a telemarketer has me cornered?

Without a call screening device:
You will need to conform to the letter of the law concerning your dialog with the unwanted telemarketing call, to put them on legal notice that you do not wish to receive any further calls.

Here are some suggested questions to give you the ammunition you need to take action against them should they continue to pester you:
First qualify it as a telemarketing call: "Are you selling something?"
   Get the operators name: "What is your full name?"
   Get the company's phone number: "What is your phone number with area code?"
   Get the company name: "What is the name of your company?"
   Make sure they maintain a "Do Not Call List": "Do you keep a record of those who request that you do not call?" (If not, they are in violation of federal law)
   If they do, ask to be placed on it: "Could you please put my number on your "Do Not Call" list?"

I am on the DNC Registry as well.. so, it's puzzling. I don't answer the calls while at work and don't answer them anyway because I don't know someone from that area code. Someone earlier suggested reporting to FCC due to being on DNC Registry.. might be a good idea.

No clue who this is and they've been calling every couple of hours never leaving a message. All I can gather is that it's an Iowa area code.

unwanted call. I am on the no call list

Called me two times today at 8 AM and 10 AM and when answered, it stays silent. No idea.

I have been getting calls from them on both my home phone and cell phone with no messages left at either.  If I answer, they hang up without saying anything.

I too keep getting calls from this number several times a day....4 so far...I picked up twice about a month ago and was waiting for "what"? anyhow it's driving me nuts and I don't know what to do?
