yes I got a call from Brooke kind of bothers me

Receive calls almost daily from this company.  They leave no messages on the machine and show up on call ID as "S".  If by chance my wife answers the phone and they ask for me and she tells them I'm at work and asks if she can help them they hang up on her.  I have no idea who this company is and why they are calling me.  I contacted our lawyer and he's looking into what can be done but if nothing can be done, I'm stuck with harrassing calls and no idea why.  If they want something then just leave a message saying what they want, who they are and why they are calling.  This non stop calling everyday is getting them no where in whatever their goal is.  I can't get through to them if I call them back on the number that is showing up on my caller ID...What's up with that?  Why call and not tell the person your talking to or the machine why your calling and what you want??

I'm getting the same thing. Caller ID just shows "S" as the name and the phone number (without the area code). They're calling with two different numbers. One is 848-6540, the other is 848-6552. Both with the same name.. "S".
I've checked with dexonline.com to backtrack the caller.. they're listed as a WA #'s but no other information is given. Same as everyone here, they call several times a day for several days a week and leave no messages. I work nights and "try" to sleep days (hard with a one yr old baby) and this is getting quite ridiculous. My wife's thinking it may be a collection agency, if it is... it's a sure-fire way of killing any type of collaboration or cooperation. If it's a bugged system..wow.. wild to think computer viruses moving into the telephone systems. I know cell phones are able to contract PC-like viruses, didn't know if landline systems could either.. if it is. :/

for those looking ahead, S is SBNC deb collection agency.  They call my roommate all the time.

this number calls my cell all the time same time about three times a week. They never leave a message so i dont know if they are calling the wrong person or what. It is ridiculous cuz they call and i guess they think i will answer but i never do if i dont know the number. If u leave a message i will call u back otherwise forget it.

I have gotten a few dozen of these calls on my cell phone. They call at all hours of the day. My last 5 calls from them were at: 08:38A, 23:10P, 13:54P, 06:03A and 03:29A respectively. What legitimate business calls somebody at 03:30 in the morning? My friend's know that is a great time to call me, but no business should.
A few times I tried picking up the caller immediately hangs up on me. I call back and it is busy.
(360) is the area code here in Northern Western Washington.

I just accidentally answered a call from this number and the woman, Linda, absolutely refused to tell me what company she was calling from.  I have also attempted to return a call and got a busy signal, after they attempted to call me on a Saturday morning.  I do not give my information out to just anyone but recognized the number as being from Mt. Vernon, Washington.  Have been unable to get any more information on who these people are.

They calling for a collection company called SB&C, Ltd. They are located at 1520 E. College Way, Mount Vernon, WA 98273. Here is a list of numbers you can call to talk to someone:(360) 336-3116
(888) 336-3116 Customer Service Lines: (360) 336-5766 (877) 336-5766. If they do not hold an account for you, advise them that you are not that person and that they cannot contact you anymore. Document the date and time of the call and the person with whom you spoke to (be advised most collection agents use false names). Also advise them that the call is being recorded prior to giving them any information. I did this and they stopped calling for six months, and now I am getting calls again, so I just did the same thing today so hopefully they will get the message right this time. Good luck!

They are SBNC, a horrible creditor that has taken up my son's hospital bills which have become exstensive due to his Autism.  I had a creditor from there, Sam R., who was so insulting to me that he made me cry on a Saturday morning, when they finally actually were there when I answered.  

I have called numerous times and asked him to be removed from my account, which I am making payments on monthly, and he is still making commision off of my account.  They will not remove him from my account and assign me another agent.  

I will not accept this.....but if you get a Sam R. helping you....ask for a manager and get a new agent!

they always call, never leave a message. I just don't answer it b/c i don't know who it is. I call back and I get a busy signal. They call at least 3 times a week.

terrible people are on the other end of this number......

I actually called the SBC company at 360-336-3116 and told them that people keep calling me for the wrong person.  The receptionist said she'll give my numbers to the collectors to take off.  Hopefully this works

another hang-up call this morning at 09:48.  *69 shows 360-848-6540 and a quick check shows it is a Verizon land line leased by Skagit Bonded Collectors.  The caller id has been altered to indicate various incorrect numbers such as 000-000-0000 and some calls from their auto dialer program are configured to hang up before the CID fully registers in the log.      

Since I have no outstanding debts, this must be racially motivated.  Will make my harrasment case pretty straight forward.

Done!  I complained to the Atty General using a specialy provided alias id. When the Atty General forwards the detailed complaint to Skagit Bonded Collections, I hope SBC use the alias information to further violate the law.

Got several calls from this number although I have no unpaid debts.
Added this number to our blocked call list.
Somehow this morning the call came through again because of a fake callerID: 000 000 0000.  I think this is illegal.   The guy on the phone was rude and obnoxious and when I asked him for his name and company, he hung up.  What a sleezebag.

I called the number to straighten out the situation but it dumped into an invalid recording.   Seems that it is setup for outbound calls only.  I'm going to follow through with an official complaint.

call quite a bit, I have a "block caller"on my phone (uniden) so I only notice the phone light up or if I look at my caller id list

might be looking for the #'s previous owner, dead beat

got a call asking for someone named mike whitney??

They left a name and number on my answering machine. Call Kim at 360-336-9683. "This Message is for Brit *, if you are not Brit, please hang up. By continuing to listen to this message you confirm that you are Brit. This is an attempt to collect a debt. Please call Kim at (see # above) about an important business matter."

I as well keep getting phonecalls from this number... It dosent ring long enough for me to get the phone and when i call it back it's just a busy tone. D R I V E S   me Nuts! These kids need to stop.

I was at work when they called. My mom answered and they asked for me or my wife.. by name.. My wife spoke with them, they seemed to have alot of information about me and my property. She thought they were a realitor or something. Then they asked for her sister, how was at our house visiting. When the sister answered the phone they hung up. I figured something was fishy so I hit the net like I always do and got down to the bottom of it. Well, they are a legit collection agency. I spoke with Shawn. They were trying to contact my sisterinlaw and my name was used as a referance. The collection was for a medical bill. How my name was used as a referance I don't know, and how they know so much about my property I don't know. I am very much considering calling my lawyer about this matter.
Shawn was fairly plesant when I spoke to him.

In my opinion, and I think I am still allowed my opinion, these people are low lifes.  They are some of the rudest people I have come across.  They do not want to listen merely to demand payments.  I have heard stories of intimidation and threat.  I refuse to deal with them and try to strictly deal with the companies that I owe money to if at all possible.

My Grandfather received a call from an individual claiming his name was "Shawn" and that he used to work for me.  I am a student.  I have never employed anyone.  I don't like my grandparents being lied to and I feel that this is extreme harassment considering that my girlfriend also gets several calls a week by the same number. They never leave a message unless you pick up while the phone rings.

i keep getting called from these guys..
like all of the above they call and hang up when i answer.. no message.. no people.. and they call at the most innappropriate times.. the last one was at 7:35 pm and the one before was at 2:30 am ..
i have called and complained but to no avail..
they are attempting to collect a debt that is not valid...
a lawyer that defrauded us and was successfully sued .. he has not paid us...
but seems to be using this collection service to harrass us..

Folks the number you are being called from is:

Skagit Bonded Collectors
1520 E. College Way
Mount Vernon, WA 98273
360-336-3116

They are debt collectors.  I found them today.  They have a computer dialer that randomly generates return call numbers (6540, 6542 etc).  It calls a bunch of people and allows a human debt collector to grab the calls as they answer.  Or not. In which case the computer hangs up on you and the return number is busy.  This is harassment.  Call these people and tell them what you think of their automated calls.  Also report them to the WA state attorney general: http://www.atg.wa.gov/ and file a complaint.

360-848-6540 has called four times today.  Work a job where I can't keep the phone w/ me, so I leave it on my desk and return calls ater... No messages are left and "busy" signal when you call back....

this number keeps calling me looking for my sister. They won't say who they are, but they all about once a week. Is there a chance that this person is a bill collector that is looking for you or someone you know, because that is my best guess for who it is trying to get a hold of my sister.

From what I could find online, it looks like a verizon land line, but I don't want to pay to get any more information about it.
