im also getting this calls its a girl calling from CRA. no record of that on google

i just got a call form cra from some lady named Amber lesie looking for juie serano.  when i called back some dude picked up the phone and I told him what happened.  He just said ok and that they would take my name of thier database. wierd

Got the same call but the number is slightly different.  Someone by the name of Pat, sounded like African American from law office of CRA at 877 704 9453 regarding urgent message and request to have someone represent me to call them back.  No further details.  

Thank to this message board, like I will call them.

i just got a message from CRA on my old phone from a woman named "Miss Berman" who told me it was very important that i call them back.  after looking at this page. i probably won't be calling them back.

I got a call also from this very same number and was told they needed a statement from me. The name given was Ellie, Every time I tried to call the number back the number was disconnected. What is this all about and who does this person think they are calling several people and wanting statements.They are crazy if they think I am going to give in to their stupid a** scams I am smarter than the average bear! I want this number to stop calling my home phone RIGHT NOW!

They called me yesterday I called them back. Today they violated my privacy by made an inquiry with the credit bureau for my credit history without my permission. Isn't that illegal? I called them and told them that if they do that again I will call the office of the Virginia  Attorney General. But I think I need to do more.

Got a call for my brother-in-law who lives in a different state.  The lady would not tell me what she was trying to track him down for...just that he needed to call back immediately.

calls my sons house and asks for me. will not leave message other than call them back before a certain time or somethign will happen. Never used sons phone number for anything.

They called me and I called them back. The lady picked up and she was very unprofessional. I asked her some questions she couldn't answer and hanged up on me.

just received a call from sarah web from cra very unprofessional it was through my sons phone. tried to call back it put me on hold then disconnected

They are bill collectors that have found you number on purpose or by mistake thru a skip trace.

Good Luck

Received a call from my sister saying someone named Amber Leslie was looking for me. Then they person from CRA asked for my brother in law.  I don't even live in the same state as my sister and her family.  Find this phone phishing to be disgusting.  Called the 877 number and got through but had to tell them to not contact my family and I would call the FTC if they received any further calls.

I received a call from this number on my cell phone.  Person sounded very uneducated, just as another person reported, and reading from a script.  They left a partial phone number.  So, I didn't call back.  Just today, my mom calls me and says she received a call about me.  It was CRA and they asked for me by name.  I tried calling back to get more info, but it kept disconnecting me when I got put into the hold queue.  My mom lives in another state and has a different last name than me.  The only places that have my mom's name and phone number are my doctor, insurance and Brand Mortgage.

My sister got a call from 757 271 1584 which is VA number. Saying I must call them back by 4:30, that it was very important. Her name is Lindsley and she is calling from CRA. Thank God I look them up or I would have done that. It is time more is done about these crytic callers. Reporting them and then what?

Recieved a call from 877-704-9451, a man named Coswell. He would give no info about the call and was very cryptic. I  am not calling him back.

Received a voicemail on my work phone from a very uneducated individual who could barely speak English.  Was saying very threatening things with a very lame demeanor.  Won't even waste my time calling the number back.  I"m sure it's a scam.

I just received a call from this 877 number on my skype. It sounded like a man, but they said their name was Stephanie from CRA and to have me or whoever represents me to call them back concerning an important matter they're not sure if I'm aware of or not. It's so shady. I'm definitely not calling back or answering that number if they call again...

I received a call from someone at CRA today 877-704-9451; the lady had my SS# and asked for me to make a statement. I asked several times what it was pertaining too. She said I had to give a statement and verify my SS# before she would give me any info. Needless to say I told the called to never call me again. Sounded very suspicious

called said he was mr/ long with CRA.  sounds suspicious

Roommate received a call from a Carly Blackwell. Said I needed to call her back about a recover? Needless to say I did not call back. I have received calls from them before and I did receive a phone call from someone on my cell phone with the Virginia area code. I did read something about them a while back. what do I do if they try to call again and I am not at home?

I received a message from CR Associates wanting my husbands ex to call them back right away .
Left the name Lisa Campbell & phone number 877-704-9451
