Sounds like a scam to me.  If you don't owe any money, send the letter to the US Postal Inspector and keep a copy for yourself.  This looks like mail fraud. It is illegal to try to obtain money fraudulently by US Mails.  DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE!  Or any money.

I got a letter from ---

First National Collection Bureau, Inc.,
610 Waltham Way
Sparks, NV  89434  
(800) 824-6191

Dept. #21377
PO Box 1259
Oaks, PA  19456

They wrote and told me I owe money.  "This is to advise you that your delinquent account has been assigned to our office for collection by the above mentioned client."
"We would like to extend the following settlement offer:  A 70% discount payable in 5 payments of $63.99."
"We are not obligate to renew this offer."

Can someone please tell me if this is real or a scam?  I'm scared.  

I received a call at 8:30 a.m. today and when I answered the recording yelled "This is David Weinberg, Process Server.  Please call regarding case #2014-----."   However, they did NOT leave a number and did NOT say who they were calling..  I called back because I have Caller ID and when I asked for Weinberg the man said, "I am his assistant and I can help you.  Do you have a case number?"  I  gave it to him and he then asked for my daughter - who has been harassed by debt collectors for years because of a false credit card charge in her name.  We have done everything to clear this up - even contacting the FTC and Better Business Bureau. I told him that I was fed up with these people calling me and the charming man told me to shut up!  I then called him an idiot and hung up on him.  I hate sinking to their level.....

I don't personally know the address of your HOMELAND SECURITIES DEPARTMENT, But I would forward this telephone harassment phone calls to them also.  Along with your local police departments in these two states.

Sometimes the award for a warranted criminal might be pennies in your pocketbook.  Nevertheless, in the event that this person, people, places or things, do not meet homeland securities requirements there could be serious charges for non-compliance, telephone harassment, extortion, etc.

Called my work number a second time and left no message.  If it's not important enough to leave a message, it is certainly not important enough to call in the first place.

They called my work number and left no message.

Dispute the debt in writing and VIA certified mail with return receipt requested. This is your right under the FDCPA. Per the law, they have five days to respond.

i did not get a call, I got a letter, asking to pay a large sum of money, I do not remember ever buying any then, ask for a loan from them at any time,or had any financial contact with this company in any way, at any time. so How then thy suspect be to pay them back a large sum of money for what.

i have also recieved calls from this person, but never pick up, strange

They call all the time looking for someone I don't know... they took me off the list onece, now I'm back on.. errrrrrrr

This is a place of business that has been receiving phone calls since 1995 for a person that none of our emplyees have ever heard of.  I have repeatedly held on the phone to speak with the operator and inform them that they have the wrong number and to take our number off of the call list.  It is now August 2011 and my office is still receiving calls for this individual.  While expressing to "Suzanne" that she has the wrong number she hung up on me.  How do I get ahold of someone with authority and professionalism that can get my company removed from this call list?  This is the most unprofessional operation I have ever come in contact with and I would like the annoying phone calls that have now become harrassing to stop.

They call me EVERYday for someone else with credit issues.  We've asked them several times to stop calling since that's not us.  They still call.  How do we get it to stop...bottom line?  Do we contact the FCC, BBB...?  It's from 8am to 8pm.

I just called the number provided by AC and they claimed that my number is removed from the system but it may take up to 48 hours to be removed from the auto caller...I don't understand how they even got my number since they are looking for someone I don't know or even heard of.

They call usually at same time every day - must be a machine - have NO idea who it is -- can't call back

They call me everyday and it's just an automated phone message.  how can I get them to stop.  So annoying!!!

They keep calling me on my cell phone looking for someone who is NOT me.

they call several times a day and don't leave any messages.

They call me, I can't call them.

I called First National Collection Bureau, Inc. at 800-824-6191 and asked them to remove my number from their list since the person they where looking for was not at this number. They person that answer the call told me they will remove the phone and it could take up to 48 hours to be removed from the auto caller. We'll see if it works.

This Collection Agency has more different telephone numbers than all of the stars in the Universe.

Everytime they call, it's a different "City and State" on the caller id.

They have been calling since October of last year, and so far I have counted 44 different telephone numbers from them.

They're after my son who happens to have the same first, middle and last name.

My son ran up huge credit card debt on many different credit card accounts prior to joining the Air Force in July of last year, so Mom and Dad (ages 65 & 67 & retired fixed income) are having to deal with HIS credit card and girl friend problems.

I'll have my day in court and let the Judge know that I'm NOT person responsible for the debt.  My son is.  

That way, FNCB will have to start the (suing) process all over again (perhaps) when my son is scheduled to be discharged in July 2014.

By then, I probably won't be living at this same address.

As they say in Russia, "tough s***-ski"

Called, Left no message so I called back private and they answered "First national collection bureau".

Six calls from this number over 3 days, no messages left

I got a call from this number at 4 p.m. on 4/27/11.  They left no message.
