They keep calling me! Stop it please.

this bastard called me called himself Benny.........called my work and asked for me and asked for me to call him, which is illegal....you call the number he says benny clearly but says the last name blurbed...and asks you to leave your name and number, it is a phone soliciter or collector.. the phone is a land line out of antonio Texas the provider is verizon.....I never give my info out ever,  suddenly I get calls, it seems they sold  my name and the company I told her I worked for. Never give out info.....any until you know for sure who you are dealing with. I am usually so careful having been harassed in the past lesson learned and passing info on....

This guy called my job LIED to my boss who had answered the phone , first of all I am not allowed personal calls at my job they can not call your job.
Then he called some lady related to my husband, he needs to go away.

This number appeared 325-224-3951 on my land line.  Said his name was Benny and had no clue what my name was.  He asked if I knew someone by the name of Karen ?.  When I said "no" he said I might know her as Karen Wilson or another last name.  When I said "no", the line went dead!!

325-224-3951.  I also got a phone call from this number asking for someone I didn't know.  Someone must have used my phone number as a reference when filling out loan stuff, and now there calling me for that person.

several harrasssing calls aboout inof on my son. I will not give out info to someone who will not identify the company nor tell me the reasons for the continuing calls.

This  guy called my cell phone and identified himself as Benny Devilla, but would not tell me where he was calling from or the nature of his call. He said he was looking for my daughter. My daughter said she doesn't know anyone by that name.

And Benny was extremely rude and sarcastic when he called me and insisted I must know the person he was looking for.  When I told him to take my number off his call list because I didn't know the person, he acted like he didn't know what I was saying.  Eventually told me he didn't want to talk to me any more and hung up.  I called him back and told him if he called again I had his number and would get the authorities after him on harrassment charges.

There MUST be something the authorities/govt. can do about this!

There is a National Federal Registry called "Do Not Call"; the website is:  http://www.donotcall.gov

You can register all your phone numbers, home, work, cell, business, etc. online with this registry and in 30 days you can report offenders such as

325-224-3951

Based on your postings, I'm already 30 days in so I can report him but it really does help.

Have a great New Year 2010!

This person has now contacted my father and a friend of mine who has an unlisted number used for his internet, he was freaked out and called me, I have no idea... debt collector doesn't make much sense if he's calling friends?

How did you find this out? Did you call the number?

If it is true it probably explains why the tenant in my building was so upset with me. Maybe thought I knew it was a collection agency, which I did not know.

I received a call from Benny at this number on the 27th of April. He wanted me to give this number to someone in my building that he had been trying to reach. I did what he asked, and for my trouble received an in person reply from the tenant in that apartment. She was incensed. I was amazed. I thought I was doing this person and Benny a favor as he sounded so concerned.

Now my question is: How the heck did he get my phone number and how did he know the apartment number of someone in my building. Creepy!

Is there any way of stopping this? Should the telephone company be made aware of this?

I would appreciate any good advice on this situation. It has been bugging me for days.

I got a note taped to the inside of my mailbox saying "call Benny" at this number.  creepy

This number is from Account Control Technology which is debt collection agency hired by the US Government Department of Education.  If they are trying to reach you, it's most likely because you have a student loan that has gone into default or you were listed as a reference for someone in that condition.
