I keep receiving calls from an Illinois number (two different ones) and they are asking for a different version of my name and yet when it says to hit 9 to connect to the next person, it clicks like its being connected and then it cuts off. I don't have ANY credit cards or anything so there is no need for me to be getting these calls!!! They need to be stopped because my number is also unlisted for safety reasons for me and my family so the thought of someone having the home phone number is not encouraging at all

I JUST CALLED THE LOCAL POLICE & GAVE THEM THIS NUMBER...EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS...MAYBE SOME  ONE MIGHT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.....

Have recived calls two different numbers both Illinos, I hit the 9 button to speak to someone, get put on  hold and after 7 min they hung up on me.. both times!

Been getting calls from this number (out of Chicago) for months now, 1 or 2 daily.
Says "This message for ***** ****** ", a person who has never lived here and I
don't know.  Pick up and no one's there.  I've not called the number out of fear it will
only make it worse.
It's torture.  Please help make it stop.  I'm on the National Registry but these people
seem to just ignore.

773-496-4043 has been calling for the past 5 or 6 months now...some weeks at least once
or twice a day....says "this message for ***** *****, (person who doesn't reside here and never
has).  I know they're out of Chicago and operate under different names, including Ovation
Communications.
No one responds on pick-up.  It's like Chinese water torture.  I'm on National Registry.  Somebody
please make it stop !

This number keeps calling everyday 3 and 4 times.  No one answers when I pickup.
Who are these people and what do they want!!  I have no credit issues or loans of
anykind...Please make them stop this .

I've received several calls from this number (773-496-4043) - of course I don't answer and they leave no message on the answering machine.  The caller ID is either blank or "Chicago".  Hopefully they will get tired calling or I will answer and hit the "#" key at least six times.  Urban legend has it that this will remove you from the robo-caller queue.  Anyone try this yet?

Has been calling for the past week with no message.  Today I was home and decided to answer.  Automated computer voice (which I thought was illegal), and I stayed on hold for a min and connected.  She asked if this was me and I said yes.  She wanted me to confirm my social security number last four digits.  I told her no. I wouldn't do that over the phone.  I then asked who this company was.  She stated Dynia and Associates.  I asked who it was for.  She state Jefferson Capital, which I know I have received letters from, so all they did was buy that account off of them.  I asked if she had sent me any letters, she stated yes, that is why they are calling me to get to an agreement.  I stated well I will look for the letters and please do not call me.  I will be sending a cease and desist letter.  As I was hanging up, I could here her saying, "well that is a good way to get out of ....."

I'm on your side BUT you CANT use religion to determine if this was a SPAM call or a collection call. YOU owe the money and the law is CLEAR: if they have hours this day they CAN call. YOU owe the money. My gosh, you can come up with a holiday EVERYDAY if you want. YOU spent the money, YOU owe the money. hire a consolidation company OR a debt settlement company to settle your debt and take the calls for you.

Ipau both of my credit card thow them a year ago and niw there say I nevrr oaid them really ur not get anymore info on me that for sure .

Buy a rape whistle, and then when they call, answer it, and blow that damn whistle as hard as you can into the phone until THEY hang up.

A couple of times of that and they will stop calling.

I got called by this number and by 773-236-8110  ... just blocked them but yeah some form of ugly debt collector that doesn't care if they have the right number or not.

Have gotten two phones calls from two different numbers on my cell phone in the last week. No message was left but I keep late hours so I call the numbers back after 11 pm and get a recorded message from some law firm that are debt collectors saying about receiving a dummy letter? Today got a phone call on the house phone with caller ID coming from this 773 number with a Global Connect identification. Called back again and its from the same debt collector. I have no credit problem so I just don't answer  these calls. Now who"s the dummy?

Today they called my cell AGAIN.  THIS time, I decided to answer, since they were SO insistent on reaching me (Call # 7 in 8 days.)  NO ONE WAS ON THE OTHER END!!!!  ANOTHER ROBODIALED CALL  - WHICH IS ILLEGAL.  I wanted to find out WHO they are looking for (likely the person who had this cell number more than FIVE YEARS before me; I've had OTHER Debt Collectors looking for her) and to TELL THEM TO STOP, per the DNC list requirments, BUT I couldn't even DO THAT.  SCUM SUCKING BOTTOM FEEDERS!!!

ANOTHER complaint to register with the DNC List.

They have called my pay-for-every-minute-I use cell TWICE in one week.  Other sites have said this is an attorney/debt collector.  I have NO credit issues and DO NOT have my PRIVATE cell number tied to any credit, anyway.  Have gotten similar calls in the past, looking for the person who had my number before me, over 5 years ago.  Have told them numerous times, she NO LONGER HAS THIS NUMBER, but the number gets sold again at least once a year and these calls start in again.  WHY DO I HAVE TO KEEP USING **MY** MINUTES to tell these BOTTOM FEEDERS that THIS NUMBER NO LONGER BELONGS TO THAT DEADBEAT?  AND HOW MANY MORE YEARS IS THIS GOING TO GO ON?  WHY isn't there a LAW to protect people like me from having to go through this?
Also getting calls from 773-496-4043.  Are they connected?

SIXTH call in as many business days from this number on my pay-for-every-minute-I-use cell.  Disgusting Bottom Feeders.

Six COMPLAINTS to the DNC List on them.

I have never even HAD a 'Salute Card' and do not know WHAT that even is.  I have NO credit PROBLEMS and should not have ANY 'debt collectors' calling me.  Even if I did, I have NO CREDIT accounts tied to my cell phone number, and have to pay for and put minutes on it before I can use it, so it makes NO SENSE that this number would keep calling my cell.

Budzik & Dynia debt collectors calling to close out a Salute card debt. They are effing relentless.

Called my cell AGAIN today.  NO ONE IN THE CHICAGO AREA SHOULD HAVE MY NUMBER!  I have *NO* Credit issues and DO NOT put this number on ANY forms or documents, so NO ONE should have it. I've been relatively unscathed for the 5+ years I've had this number; WHY am I being targeted NOW?

Another call from this number on my cell.  NO ONE IN CHICAGO should have this number!!!  WHO is this, and WHY am I the only one getting these calls?  WHERE are the other 'victims'???

WARNING you SCAMMERS:  I have already filed TWO Complaints against you for these INVASIVE calls.

Called my pay-as-you-go cell. Pressed IGNORE.  Second call like this in three hours; two different ILLINOIS numbers.  Don't know anyone from these area codes.  WHY are they targeting ME?  Its not like there are dozens of these complaints here.  WHO IS THIS?

ALSO got SIX SPAM CALLS - all different numbers on my Landline in last 24 hours.  WHAT IS GOING ON?  I get these calls like everyone else, but this is over the top this week.

I don't know WHAT is going on today, but this is the SECOND call from and ILLINOIS number that I DO NOT KNOW OR RECOGNIZE on my Pay=as-you=use=it cellphone.  I have NO IDEA what they want, but I'm not about to blow my minutes to find out.  The two calls were from completely different area codes but both in IL.  I have NOT given my number out to anyone other than close friends, relatives and Doctors, so I cannot fathom who has my number and why.  I've also gotten SIX SPAM CALLS on my landline in the last two days.  I get these calls - several times a week, but not usually THIS many in this short a time.

BTW, I DO NOT have any outstanding bills or credit issues; so it cannot be that.

THIS many 'wrong numbers' on TWO of my numbers in this amount of time?

OR are the SPAMMERS going CRAZY just before Easter/Passover?  This is GOOD FRIDAY today.  SHAME on those Muslim B*****ds!
