said they were the IRS! please when does the IrS call

It is NOT the IRS - it is ARS - they are a debt collector.

Business matter

Man calling himself Kevin called and left a message for a return call from some woman whom we have never heard of. Left a file number so I assume it is a collection agency.

It is a collection agency!!!!!!

Mustafa called me. Collector.

dont answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received the call from 7607358531 at and let it go to voice mail since it was from California and I live in Connecticut.  The person, "Ally", wanted me to call her back at 888-222-0270 and gave me a list of extensions I had to remember.  She said it concerned something that arrived in the mail but I know that's bull because I've never heard of this company before and I never send anything in the mail except my netflix.  She never identified what company she worked for and I won't call back.

Some guy called me from a 760 area code and left me a message saying that he has a file in his office and to to calll him at 8882220270 and so I googled the numberr and found this website so I'm not calling him back lol

Got a call from this number from someone named Jeremy. He did not identify the company or anything. The message said: Please call me back at 888-222-0270 and his ext. number.
Of course, I don't answer unknown numbers, private numbers,800 numbers, or any number that I don't recognize.

Came up on caller ID, called back and they could not tell me what they did or who they were. I called back and someone was able to tell me the name of the company was ARS, but no other information.

California Residents Challenge ARS National Services' Collection Attempts

A statewide class action has been filed in California against collection specialist, ARS National Services, Inc., who operate as Associated Recovery. The action is brought on behalf of all California residents who received a collection letter from Associated which offered to settle the debt for a lesser amount, if payment was made immediately. The action is brought under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and seeks statutory damages as well as injunctive and declaratory relief.

This action arises from the alleged policy of Associated in which they include in their collection letters an offer to settle the outstanding debt for a reduced rate. The settlement offer is, according to the letters, a limited offer, requiring immediate payment. According to consumers, this offer is misleading and deceptive because Associated is allegedly always prepared to negotiate a settlement for a lesser amount. Thus, the language requiring immediate action is allegedly deceptive to consumers because they are given the impression that they need to act immediately in order to have an opportunity to discharge the debt at a reduced rate. The consumers claim that this has a coercive effect, limiting their ability to challenge the validity of the debt and limiting their ability to make an informed decision about the debt. The consumers allege that these letters are standard ?form? type letters, mailed to thousands of consumers and that, as a result, the class in this case is potentially quite numerous.

Extension 1228 - Mike; asked me if my last four digits of my social security were xxxx, I said no, wanted to verify if my birthdate was xx/xx/xx, I said no.  I asked what ARS was, they told me that because I wasn't the person they could not divulge.
