Phone rings. Look at caller id first . if you don't recognize the person or number, just ignore it, don't answer, and if you're not on cell, just do the on /off to kill the call frustrates them to no end. If it rings a set number each time you are probably not dealing with a real person. Four times seems to be common. The worst to do this are larger companies. This a** called my number but who knows what he wanted. But if you do answer your info is invaluable to me because I check here all the time. Thanks for your sacrifice.

It probably is a carpet caller. They often use cellphones that are harder to track to a company. The company may be just some punk trying to rip you off.

It's strange I am getting calls from them as well, and I don't have debt nor lien, are they carpet-calling everyone and anyone now? What's the point?

They are probably one of those companies that you read in the news that tries to scare people into paying a debt that they actually don't owe.

I keep getting calls from them saying I won a Cadillac I think its a scam number

This number keeps ringing on my cellphone.  Sprint says I cannot do anything about it, just don't ask and I won't use my minutes.

My mom emailed me and told me that some guy named Tim Woods called, using telephone # 877-342-1157. He asked for me by a name I haven't used in over 2 years. I also haven't lived with my mom or used her phone number or address in over 8 years. She told him I did not live there and haven't for years.  He said he knew that, like he knew me personally.  She asked him what it was about and he said he could not tell me. And he rudely hung up on her. Also the phone call was prior to 7am. The time in the am is illegal to call. I do not owe an debts.

Someone from (877)342-1157 calls me every single day. When I answer the phone, they hang up. It is weird. They never leave a Voice Mail Message nor do they every say why they are calling.

THEY KEEP CALLING AND CALLIND AND I DONT KNOW WHY THEY DONT SEND ME A LETTER OR NOTHING JUST CALLING

July 4th I received a call from these guys as well for the first time though. I did call the FBI because  they seem to have private info that in my opion they shouldn't have or they are fishing ...Some where there is some fraud happening no doubt in my mind. The FBI in my area told me to report it to the  Federal division that looks into phone scams and the number they gave me for my area was 1 877 438 4338 if anyone eles is intresed in having them investagated.

They keep calling my cell - they do not leave a message.  I tried to call to see what the company's name was - the recording does not state the company name.  The only people who have my cell # are people on a personal basis - not business basis. I feel this is a scam company - why else would the company not have their name on the recording?!

This number is from Vision Financial.  They are trying to collect a debt.  I read that they can get really nasty.  If you're comfortable with using vulgar language, I suggest you use things such as sexually intimate questions and words such as cun*, co*k, fu*ker, and tw*t when you're having phone sex with them.

They will never call back.

I have been getting the same thing from this number, they call and never leave a message.  I am considering having my phone number disconnected.

all I heard this morning was maniacal laughter...

@angela:

The problem is our cell providers re-assign the same numbers over and over to different customers..
Some how your number was at one time on this garbage's list to call.

They do not give a damn if they call the RIGHT person not,They are paid for every attempt to contact the debtors number on record.
Same as me,Same as the rest of us, As far as I can see,not a damn thing we can do about it.

(Other than beg them to show up in person to collect the debt,,and collect a good old fashioned,
beat down.)

Same thing. I have given my 85 year old Mom a prepaid cell.
Everey morning between 9:00am and 11:00 am this filth calls with a debt/dunning message for a
Mrs Langley.

There has to be a black mass/voodoo/curse/injunction,something to stop these dogs!!

I get calls from this incessantly. I block the call so they can't keep leaving computer generated voice mail (for money - I DON'T OWE ANYONE MONEY!) and they call every 15-20 minutes. Called them to tell them to stop and get a computer putting me on incessant hold.

no one is ever there just hangs up when I answer

this number calls & says send payment, call back & just menu about a pin # How can I report this?Anybody know? And they call on my cell, I never give this out to anybody

Started getting calls from them everyday this week.  Wrong number debt collection, and they don't even have the decency to call in person, it's a machine telling me (though not me) to call THEM.  Even if I was the person that owed the debt I wouldn't call them, they want it they can have a person call me.

No message, just static.  Just the phone number was listed, no name.

Leaves a v mail wants money

All hear was oh god then static

Received several calls from this number last night. Two calls were from Vision and the other was a very nasty man that was screaming at me on the phone because I would not let him talk to my husband. I asked him what the call was regarding and he got arrogant and started screaming. I told him if he ever calls my house again I'm calling the police.  I did a reverse look-up on this number and it said it originated from the Disrict of Columbia.

Call and leaves a message saying I need some money
