I also have calls from this number on my cell phone- just hang up,, it annoying

All you have to do is call them back and ASK THEM for the last four digits of the ssn of the person from whom they are trying to collect the debt. If these numbers are not yours (as they were not in my case) you can let them know they have the wrong person and they'll stop calling (hopefully). Don't give them any personal information. I have a very common name and have been living with this sort of phone call for years. I usually ignore it until I get so stressed out that it might be me, that I call back. Again - you don't have to give them any info - they will give it to you.

I got the same phone call today and I was not home. I think this is a SCAM

I received this message last weekend. And receiving one for someone else. Everybody's response confirms to me this is a scam. If they call back, I'm going to do what someone else did and start asking for their SSN, DOB, and etc. Very Smart. I found a web page for this company and it looks absolutely fake. I've seen myspace pages look for legit than this page.

left same message as those above.  don't have any outstanding debt.

This is a scam and shady at that.
Tell them you are under absolutely no obligation to give them your ssn, dob or anything else and if they call back you will report the phone number and them to the attorney general. And then DO!!!!

Hey all,

I have had the same experience but I tried something that I think worked. When they called me last they asked if it was me and I said yes. Then I cut them off and told them before we continue this conversation I will just need them to verify their social security #, date of birth, blood type and a photo of their first born child.. The caller was clearly confused and kept asking why I needed that and just gave them a taste of their own medicine.

Finally when the  minimum wage paid genius on the other line caught on to my point, he hung up the phone.


Persistent and annoying?? Sure. Intelligent? I think not.

Haven't heard from them since.

Yes, I got a similar recording and when I called with reference number they asked for my DOB. When I refused until I knew what the call was in regards to, the operator became angry and said well I can't tell you without that info. I flat out said no and he said, "well we'll just call you tomorrow."
Is this even legal? I don't have debt and and am on the do not call register.  very frustrating

Iv received a number of calls from "the man with the british accent" from "william w segal & associateds" always asking for venessa butler.. this needs to stop!!  how do i stop them from calling??? how did they even get my number in the first place!?!?

answered a call at my elderly parents house while i was there. Asked to speak with my father, said he was not here could I take message, message was: call Carl with William W. Segal law firm at 877-247-6117. Asked what it was regarding, he stated personal business matter. BS people can get away with this!

I have received a call from William W. Segal and Associates  in regard to a contracting company that they are trying to collect a debt from.  The man speaking has a very British accent.  I am told to hang up if this is not the contracting company, then the man goes on to say I should call 877-247-6166.  He also gives me a reference number for this call.  I have now received two calls and have not called the number given to me.

This call was simiar to others on here.  The man had a strong British accent and said that owed a debt to William W. Segal and associates.  He gave another number to call back, but I'm not going to.  I don't owe anything so I'm just going to ignore it.  I assume if it's something serious then they'll send me something.

I started tracing a threesome of crank callers named William W Siegel and Assoc, CBE Group, and Mitchell N Kay, with legal counsel Wes Welch, Park River ND 58270, 1-701-284-7833, 701-284-6876.
They claim that Elliot and/or Ella Jordan owe money to someone. Over several months the phone calls are repeated, and I am not Elliot or Ella, and they will not identify where they got  my phone number.
An illegal tapper? impersonator?, etc.

My fiance's parents received a call from this number about me and when I called the number back the woman I spoke to had no information on me what so ever. It was very disturbing and I dont understand how they got my fiance's parents home phone number in reference to me. PLease beware and protect yourself.

I have received a call from this number a few times a week for months. The message when I call back says William W Siegel and Associates- the person on the message has a fake British accent. They ask for a Jason Wilson and make threats on every message- that is pre recorded. I owe no one money. I have no dealings. This is blatent harassment. This is in fact in conflict with the fair debt collections protection act. Sometimes on the message they leave a different number to call and when you do it is a different organization. When you dial the extension and attempt to leave a message you can't. This is a scam and should not be allowed!!!!!!!!

Left a message on answering machine while I was outside getting the mail.  Said if I wasn't "person of interest", hang up.  Answering machine didn't hang up of course.  Continued with "since I didn't hang up, I was verifying I was the person of interest".  That person doesn't live here.  Obviously an amateur.

i got a call from this number and when answered no one was there, called them back and they said they had my number for someone else. bunch of crock they are just annoying

Caller was insistent on talking to me without telling me who they were. It was obvious to me its a scam. Claimed they were calling for a Mitchell Kay Firm, I have no dealings with this person and have recieved nothing in the mail indicating that I owe anything to this so called firm. I don't know who these people think they are, but its really disgusting. Send something in the mail and be legitimate and don't bother calling people just to harass them for no reason.

My sister receive the same call and I called this number trying to find out whos is harassing my family under my name and they were rude trying to get personal information with out identifying themselves, I know your pain....

They called my mother trying to get info on my brother.  They had the last four digits of his SS# and claim he owed a debit and they could only release info to him.  the woman said her name was Linda Blackmon.

Received 2 calls from this number.  Really bother's me because the automated message will say the person's name several times, that this is personal financial information regarding so-and-so, then "by continuing to listen to this call, you have confirmed you are so-and-so".  If it's SO PRIVATE, then why are they getting away with saying someone's name repeatedly and that it's regarding finances!  Maybe, dumb people, you have the wrong name and number but I have to be bothered in listening to your automated message.   I HATE THEM!!!! and once again, all you have to do is go to www.annualfreecreditreport.com and get this done once a year to SEE THAT YOUR CREDIT IN IN GOOD STANDING!!!!!!  Don't buy into any of the LIES, LIES, LIES!!!!

THEY keep calling for someone else!! It is a recorded message asking for someone I don't know. I just block them now It sounds like a debt collector from the messages above.

They call a business number calling for an individual.  This has happened many times - a robot gives you a message.

They called looking for my neighbor. They are like, are you SURE YOU DONT KNOW THIS PERSON????  Actually no I don't I just know of them, and if they call my f'in house one more time they better have me on a payrol!

i keep getting calls from this number, i do not have caller id so i always ask the number and name of the person.  they have my last name but seem to call me with any first name that starts with a K.  this chick last night got VERY BITCHY with me when i asked for the number.  i have called before after numerous calls from these people for anyone who's name started with K and they had my number attached to 4 or 5 different names.  so they'd been calling me for all these freakin' people, not knowing if they have the right number or not.  they SUCK

This appears to be a one digit phone number change from scum collectors at Mitchell N Kay collection agency. (They are loosely disguised as a (cough) law firm.)  The old call from number was 1-877-247-6116.
