I hope the scammers watch their children die of cancer.

Just got a voice message from a voice that sounded like RoboCop(?). They were asking for a woman, and left her name. Last time I check, I was a man. Pretty sure it's a scam. ANON's description of this call seems to nail it right on the head.

Have received 2 ROBO-DIALED calls today (so far) from these A$#$... to my Google Voice# (which automatically routes them to the SPAM call folder!).   Trying to collect a "debt" from previous owner of my tel#.

Enhanced Recovery Corporation (ERC) is an Accounts Receivable Management/Collection Agency. HQ in Jacksonville, Florida,  WEB SITE: erccollections[.]com or kerc[.]com
Have previously received calls from their robo-dialer using 800-278-2420,800-496-4598, 800-496-4599, 800-685-3118, 800-656-9308 as caller ID tel#.

Called repeatedly in the same afternoon.  Caller could not speak English as far as I could tell,  When I asked why he was calling when I could not even speak his language, he knew enough English co call me a mother f----r.  Very nicely done sir.

It seems this collection company, ERC Enhanced Recovery is located in Jacksonville, FL.
They call daily regarding a person named Jeffrey Johnston. going on for about two years. Today I filled a complaint with the FCC, see below:  We shall see if this does any good.
This company continually leaves daily messages regarding debt collection for file # 34325480.  I had called the number they leave 1-800-565-9308 explaining no one by this name lives here and kindly asked they stop calling. They ignore this request keep on calling.

I was contacted and told that the caller was a collection agency!

This is a business they are calling and for a person that is no longer here and I can't get to the website they gave me to do a dang thing about it. But they are interrupting my line of my clinic for my patients to call in!!

Called, went to recorder, they hung up. What I can't understand is that my message says: "Due to a high volume of telemarketing calls we are forced to screen our calls, so if you want to speak to (my name) or (my wife's name), you will have to leave a message and we will call you back."
It's been that way for four months. We never answer, without exception. The message hasn't changed the entire time either. Nobody has had any success contacting us by telephone in at least four months, and still I get 30+ calls every day. Most don't stay on to hear the message, so I know they've called before and already know what it says. Most show up as a number the phone company says is not a valid number (999-999-9999, etc.). Some with area codes like 001..., fake numbers, most show the caller as unavailable, not available or it shows the name of the state the call originated from. And these are just the ones that stay on the line until my recorder beeps for them to talk, the rest don't wait that long and I get no information at all about the caller or where they're calling from.
This goes on all day, every day. Months ago when I used to answer my phone, 90% of these calls hung up on me after I answered. They were still on the line, I could hear them breathing or other voices in the background, but they would never say anything, they just hung up.
I can't figure out any logical reason for anybody to do that - it's just bizarre, but after being told that we don't, and won't answer these calls, and knowing that we can't call them back unless they leave their name and phone number, and getting the same result every time they call after months and months - this is beyond weird. These people are psychopaths!
I can't block them because I don't know what numbers to block, I can't block numbers without caller ID because they have caller ID, it's just a fake number and a fake ID. I'm not going to change numbers because I've had this same number for 30 years and too many people know to reach me at this number.
I'm at the end of my rope. The phone company says they have no way to stop them, or even identify them, other than the call blocking features I mentioned earlier that are useless for this situation.
I may have to take them to court for harassment, negligence, not delivering the services they are contracted to provide, whatever. I'm not a lawyer and I know I'll lose, but maybe they will eventually get tired of sending their lawyers to court and pay attention. I'm afraid it's going to take a lot of complaining from a lot of people before they get off their a***s and do something to stop this crap. So don't just write a note here where nobody sees it, send your complaints and any information you have to everyone you can think of. Phone companies, law enforcement, gov't agencies at all levels, friends and relatives. If we make enough noise it will be addressed. The phone companies could stop it in a heartbeat, they just don't see it as a big enough problem for them to get involved, yet. Let's make some noise and get our phones back! - and we don't owe anybody money.

Another debt collector who had my number previously.

This is ERC (Enhanced Recovery), a collection agency.

Another debt collector calling for the person that had my number previously. This has been going on for 1 full year now. Why is it that debt collectors are not responsible for ensuring the accuracy of their phone records? Why does the public have to put up with harassment from these people for debts they have absolutely nothing to do with?  

This BRC http://bureauofcollection.com/bcradv.html ? How about this BBB report http://www.bbb.org/minnesota/business-reviews ... rie-mn-15001718# ?

Idiot scammers trying to convince me that I owe debt. LOSERS, I don't owe that debt your trying your damnedest to get me to pay! HAHAHA... FOOLS! I will never ever answer the phone you keep calling. I have NEVER talked to them and I NEVER will! LOW LIFE INBREEDS! Big time B*STARDS!

They are the lowest scum of the earth. They are right down there with bounty hunters and repo men. SCUM, scumbags, trailer trash, scam artist ect...
