do you really think this f****ng worthless administration gives a flying s***?  contact all you want; you will get nothing.  

they are indeed a debt collector running on a voip line out of Summerville, sc afaict.

I recieved a call from this number today on my cell phone. They called regarding a supposed payday debt from 6 yrs ago. (Advance America)  The gentleman was extremely polite, but I was able to control the conversation, back him into a corner, and he nicely closed with, we would like to offer me a settlement amount, and is it alright to contact me again the next day.

I do believe it is a Scam, but not exactly sure. I told him if he could verify the original loan location, and account number, I would look into it. (He couldn't do that). He did have the last 4 of my social, along with wrong employer, email, and address. He said that my credit would be affected, and I wouldn't be able to purchase a home or car. I corrected him, told him I just bought new vehicle, talked about 2014 Impala features and then nicely hung up. Overall a pleasent 15 min conversation, nicest debt collector ever, and I'm not giving them a single copper plated cent.

Don't be fooled by old debt/bill collectors. Protect yourself and read other post about them.

Got a call from this number today.  Called it back and got a message that it was out of service.  How could someone call from an out of service number?  Then I called the number left on the message.  Spoke with "Don", who was extremely rude when I explained I wanted my name taken off the list.  I explained that the person they were apparently looking for was not me.  Hung up on me.

received calls from this number many times and when I finally answered and told them I was not the person they were looking for they said they would take me offf their list but when I asked for a name and business, the caller said PTS and associates and hung up without giving his name.

The company who has been calling you is probably a scammer. There is no evidence that they actually exist. They are probably criminals who have found your information online. Unless you receive written notification there is no reason to treat them as a real company. They may threaten you to scare you into paying them, but there is nothing they can actually do. Do not give them anything they ask for. File a complaint with your state attorney general's office or contact the new government agency which has been set up to handle consumer complaints:

Payday loan sites get hacked on a seemingly regular basis and  scammers use info hacked from these sites to illegally collect money from unwary consumers. They will often know  personal info such as your last four digits of your SSN, DOB, address etc., all taken from the stolen records.  They use that info to get even more info on you from personal info sellers like Choicepoint. Unless you know for sure you owe the money, be very careful about giving them any personal info, especially bank account information (they will clean you out,).  Record the calls if legal in your jurisdiction, and demand a mailing  address so you can send them a "cease and desist" letter (see FDCPA Sect 809.)   Since these calls almost always come from overseas, there isn't much the authorities can do to stop them.  So protect yourself. The scammers use many scare tactics to force you to pay:
?    Threaten jail time, to "serve you at work or home" or " arrest you at work or home" if you don't pay by a specific hour
?    demand pre-paid Walmart card or Western Union tranfers to pay the supposed debt
?    Tell you "there is a case pending  in the courts".  Check your local courthouse and see if any company has filed a lawsuit against you.
?    Say they are federal agents, government agents, law enforcement, ie; "Officer Smith", ""Special Investigator Jones"
?    Say they are a lawyer or law firm. Ask for their exact company name, address and the names of their lawyers so you can look them up in their state bar association (this can be done online).
?    State a fake company name: again, get the exact address and look them up in their state's Division of Corporations:. If they are not listed there they are not a real company, and therefore, a SCAM!
?    Tell them by law they are required to send you a collection letter within 5 days of the first time they call you. Be suspicious if they refuse to give you their address or won't send the letter through the US Mail. Many scammers email or fax collection letters to skirt the Mail Fraud felony laws.

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do against scammers since they are  not legitimate and not much you can do either other than hang up on them. Keep telling them you know they are not real, they will not get anything from you, and are wasting their time.  Also, tell them you have reported them to the FBI.  Eventually they will leave you alone when they realize they will not be able to trick you into paying them.  Please see this ALERT  from the FBI:

Here is a link to a recent Fox news report on this very scam:

We hope this information has proven helpful. And please tell your family and friends to be on alert for this scam!

This happened to me as well.  They call my office daily for someone who is not here.
Once you tell them you have the wrong number they hang up on you.  We are a place of
business and I do not appreciate the calls, or waiting on hold to handle it to be hung up on,
and then called back a few hours later.

Come up as Summerville, SC  but is a robo call.  Probably a Debt collector with the wrong information.  I hit the #1 as instructed to speak with someone, after they had called me a zillion times.  As soon as I told them they had the wrong number they hung up on me.  This happened two times in a row.

got a call from this number. Called back got a lady saying this TCS. I told her a just got a call and miss what the message. She ask did I just got the call I said yes, then the line went silent and after about 2 minutes nobody came back on the line I hung up.

Got a call from this number - calling regarding an old payday loan from 4 years ago.  Will say that Gordon, who I spoke with, was very nice and accommodating.

I think it is a Debt Collector

I got a phone call from this number regarding someones social security #.... does this  mean someone is getting  a hold of personal credentials that could lead to ID theft!?!?

No message and they do not answer. Calls all the time. No name just summerville sc.
