Don't humor these b*****ds by talkling to them. Ignore the calls anad don't answer them

FMS first called my home in late May. They asked for me by name. (the informal one) I said it was me. Then they asked if I was (formal name) but with wrong middle initial. I told them that was not my middle initial. They said it was regarding my account with Capital One. I informed them that I have not had an account with Capital One -or any other credit card in some years. They asked again if I was (formal name with wrong middle initial.) I told them no. And they told me they would remove my name from their list.

However, they have not.

On the second contact, another person asked the same thing -and the same drill. I told them no and informed them that I was told I was being taken off their call list. They said they would.

In fear that I may have been a victim of identity theft or credit fraud, I ran a credit report on myself and found no evidence of any. There are no active credit cards in my name.

However, the calls have increased to almost daily -mostly during the day -while I'm at work.

My wife answers the phone, they ask for (informal name). She tells them I'm not here. They say it is very important they get in contact with me. She informs them that she is my wife and will relay any message. They say they can't do that and they ask for another number to contact me -my work number. She refuses to give it to them. (which puzzles me -anyone I have done business with would have my work number. It hasn't changed in twelve years)

We've quit answering the phone anytime we see their numbers -of which there are several -all under the guise of "TOLL FREE CALL" on occassion it's FMS on the caller ID.

I don't owe anyone anything. I am not the person they are looking for. And there is no outstanding debt in my name.

I filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. After filling out the data, an automated page read "we recomend you contact the company directly."

So, I guess I'm stuck.

Then again, my wife does work as a clerk at a law firm. Maybe I can get one of her bosses to call them. But, you can only guess how that will go.

Yep, just went through the same thing. I said I wouldnt give out personal info unless I knew what personal business they were calling about. They said they already have it. I said take my info on my bankruptcy case. They said they couldnt do that. Every other collector has taken it so I dont know why they couldnt. They said they would keep calling until I verified my identity. I hung up after that & will be documenting every call they make to give to my attorney

I get them all day early morning and night

These people at the number listed above continue to call me looking for "amanda", despite me telling them they have the wrong number and to take my number off their list.

They have been calling me for 2 weeks now several times a day. A recorded message comes on, says press #1, Someone wants to speak to you. If you don't, they just hang up. It turns out the number comes back to FMS Inc. which is a COLLECTION AGENCY. They were looking for someone who did not live at my phone number. My phone is on the "Do not call list". I called them back and told them not to call me anymore, but I'm still going to file a complaint with the FCC for the 2 weeks of several phone calls every day. I also recorded my phone call to them stating the call was being recorded and telling them not to call me anymore.
SO NOW YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

Same deal here, I started seeing this # call me 3-4 times a week.  After I called them telling them to stop, the calls started coming 4 or 5 times a day and there appears to be no end in sight.

Told them once or twice that they called the wrong number.  But they still continue for months.  Just ignore them on my cell.  Crazy and stupid COLLECTOR!

I think it may be a scam where the person who picks up the phone gets billed for the call.

What is this about?

This company keeps calling me about a "business dealing " I have, yet will not identify themselves or who they represent unless I give them my SS#, date of birth and address. I have told them I do not giver out that information unless I KNOW who I am talking to. It is against their company policy to identify themselves, until I verify who I am.

I repeatedly receive calls from this company also.  I answered a couple times, and have yet to hear a person answer.  I sent an email to the company.  Here is the website address:
