Young lady constantly calling my parents house asking for me. Number one I don't live with my parents and how did they even know my name.

I called the number and let the guy on the other end understand that I don't own a Capital One card and I'd appreciate them stop harassing my parents about my whereabouts.

If you do not recognize a number, do not answer your phone. If nobody ever answers these calls, they will stop. Do not call them back or become upset. These calls are a ploy by the cell phone providers, propogated by the sale of our phone numbers to anybody willing to pay for them, to increase usage, and therefore increase charges and provide them justification for more bandwidth allocation. If nobody ever answers these calls, then the calls will not generate the desired effect. The calls will then become an expensive liability to the callers, and they will be forced to stop.

If somebody calls you from a number you do not recognize, and it is important, they will leave an important message. Then, you can call them back.

nothing said

1-800-727-5848 -- I received a bill from GC Services, P.O. Box 7820, Baldwin Park, CA 91706, in which they claimed that I owe $$$$$ from a so-called traffic violation way, way back in the 1990s. Then they started harrassment calls using 1-800-727-5848 under the guise of "Superior Court". A simple GOOGLE Search on "GC Services" and "1-800-727-5848" reveals that this company and the people that work for them are LIARS and have a track record of FRAUD. There needs to be a thorough legal investigation of this "GC Services" and "1-800-727-5848" by the appropriate authorities as this type of activity cannot continue by this fraudulent entity.

Calls several times a day, hangs up the phone upon answering!

When i answered a automated message told me to hold for a important message, then 30 seconds later a real person finally answered to tell me my credit card bill was overdue....it was paid on friday. i'll never use capitol one again if thats the kind of crappy job their doing.

calls at least 3x a week , we screen so they never leave a message.

I got a call from this number earlier today asking for a "ms emerson"
I explained to them that there is no one here by this name and I then proceeded to google the number. I came up  with this site. I am worried that this is a phishing scam so if anyone can tell me how to properly handle this situation please let me know
Thanks

They call repeatably, day and night. File a report at https://www.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx and make sure you put your number on the do not call list.

I had the same thing happen and didn't give them didly squat because they fed me the same crap

GC Services is who they said they were after answering the phone hello.  An Indian sounding man.  Said he was calling on behalf of Capital One Credit Cards and that I owed over $200 and was 31 days past due.  I pay my c/c online and had already done a payment yet he wanted me to do a payment over the phone for an amount that was different that my actual Capital One Payment.  I DON'T THINK SO!! It's the holidays and I am not paying anyone who answers the phone hello and gives me crap info.

Call has come in a 457pm and 813pm no message left.

I rec'd a call on my home phone number (from 866-647-3068) and they asked for my son, by name.  I took their number (877-290-8894) and said I would have him call.  He called and they answered GC Services and asked for the phone number and said they could not match it up with any thing and said they would take my number off their list.  He pushed a bit and asked why they had called 5 minutes ago and she said she could not find him in the system and asked for the Capital One credit card number.   I asked what company they were from and they said GC Services on behalf of Capital One. WHAT A SCAM!!  Beware.

I was called two days in a row from the same company "GSI Collection agency".  They told me that I was over my credit limit (big lie) and that I was late with a payment (lie #2).  I didn't feel comfortable giving out my b-day and card/account information over the phone.  So I told the first person to have a nice day and hung up.  They called back the next night and it was a different person.  They had Indian/Pakistani accents and asked for the same information.  I told the guy that it wasn't a good time right now, but if I could get his contact information, then I would call them back.  He gave me the "1-877-290-8894" number.  I googled it and came up with this site.  I also called Capitol 1 and they didn't even have my correct number or address in the system.  I also contacted their fraud department and they said the company is not affiliated with Capitol 1.  This is a Phishing scam, so don't fall for it.

Several calls a day, no response when I answer. No messages ever left.

I got 2 calls one on saturday the 14th of june and 18th
from this number and says they are looking for someone that does not live here, i live by myself, and i do know the name of the person they leave a message for, it is getting on my nerves, i called back and it keep saying someone will be with you shortly ...

I got a message to call this number, 1-877-290-8894 using my first name. I called the company and was told it was capital one. I said ok, as I do have a capital one card and have for almost 10 years. It has a zero balance and never late so being a collection company never dawned on me. I thought they were just selling something. After they let me know that I owed money to capital one I was shocked. They wanted me to give them my social or my account number as they could not look me up by name or phone number and couldn't tell me how much I woed until they looked me up. . I thought this was odd. So, I called capital one and confirmed I am in great standing with them and they don't know why this company called as they are not Capital One and they suggested it could be a scam. So, I called GC Services again and they arssured me that they can't find that I owe anything and don't know why they are calling or why without finding an account the first rep would say I owed anything. They again stated that they do work FOR Capital One.  Needless to say I am frustrated and called to cancel my Capital One account. I feel irritated by GC Services but even more irritated that Capital One employees such an incompetant group and then tries to deny it when asked if GC works for Capital One.

Called and recording asked me to hold for a very important call. Operator answered finally said she was with GC Service and asked that I have the peron she was trying to reach return their call regarding a personal business matter. The number she asked them to call back to was 877-290-8894.

Why don't you leave a message about your purpose of calling us so we would call you back. You need to be polite especially when we don't recognize your number. And please watch the words you are using.

I called this number back after getting several calls that I did NOT answer, and was told it was "GC Services on behalf of Capital One credit card," which I don't have.  Today I did answer a call, and was told by a recording to "hold for an important message," and then a woman with a foreign accent asked for "Nicole," who is not a person in my household.  After that, I called them back to see what was going on and was told they represented Capital One.

this number calls my house all the time, who is it and what do they want

A woman called our telephone number at home and asked for a "Sharp".
My husband answered the telephone and said there was no one here by that name. Then the person wanted to know who she was speaking to, and my husband said that he wasn't in the habit of giving out his name to strangers on the telephone. This answer of course did not please her. She said - that she had to write down the answer she was given, so she needed his name. He said - well if you need to write down what the person on the telephone said to you, then I suggest you write down that I am not Sharp, and that I would not give you my correct name. She said O.K., did not sound happy and hung up the phone. What total idiots - wish they would leave us alone on Mothers' Day.

Keeps calling for someone who is not allowed to use ,my phone ..Breaking the LAW keeps calling after getting certified letter telling them to stop...Plan on taking them to court for harrassment by telephone...The B.B.B. has them listed as BAD with over 200 complaints "unresolved"

Been getting numerous calls from 800-430-5262 (800 Service) and 909-297-7333 (Citi RL)and now it appears this one has joined the crowd. We are never home when they call so it does not really matter... but I have a feeling they are looking for the owner of the condo (we are renting). No message was left today. The call came in at 1:13pm 5/8/08. Will post every or every couple of times these guys call too to keep tabs on it. Just like I am doing with that other 800 number.

Update: I called it back and got the company who is calling on behalf of Capitol One. Anyhow they said my number isn't in the system anymore which is hilarious seeing as they called me just an hour ago. Anyhow she says next time to go ahead and answer it and just verify the number and tell them they have the wrong person and they'll remove me from the list. I know two debt collection agencies were calling for someone who had my number previously so this is probably why this is happening.

Apparently they feel they don't need to leave a message but they call multiple times a day. Well guess what, we don't answer that phone unless we know who it is, so try leaving a damn message and maybe I'll call back.

Repeated phone calls to place of employment after being asked not to by office manager, business owner & myself.  They were also advised I am not allowed to get personal phone calls at work & if this continues my employment could be at risk, still the calls continue all day long.  Also repeated calls to private cell phone number 7 days a week all hours or day & evening.  The phone number is 877-290-8894, today it was Ross who left a message at 8:15 am at my place of employment.

I am sorry you had to take such a sorry job.   Life is hard and if you take a job like that, expect what you get.      

I don't like people to wake me.    I don't like being disabled and having pains and cancer.  

I don't like the economy, and I don't like being poor.    

However, I do not owe any money to anyone, and I must suffer from YOUR JOB and YOUR CALLS.

When I die, and it won't be long.    I will finally get some rest from the annoying calls that this other woman left that I can not even pronounce her name.

I don't answer the phone half the time, and I am not going to start answering the phone.

You might as well except the fact that people are NOT going to tell you if they are the person you are looking for or not.   It is a cruel world.  If you choose this job, then you deserve to get what you dish out.


Again, my cancer is moving fast, and I won't have to be bothered with all this stuff where I am going.

And I will be going DEBT FREE, as I am now.

Computer generated call that calls my business constantly with no answer.

Calls through the week AND on Saturday and Sunday.  Never leaves message.
