Their IP address is 216.75.169.200, and the are using IIS. They refuse to abide by FDCPA because they are outside of the country. Rules of engagement:
1) DO NOT IDENTIFY YOURSELF.
2) INFORM THEM TO COMMUNICATE IN WRITING TO THE INDIVIDUAL THEY ARE TRYING TO CONTACT AT THE PHONE NUMBER THEY CALLED.
3) INFORM THEM THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE CALLED AGAIN.
4) FILL OUT A PHONE HARASSMENT REPORT WITH YOUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT IF THEY CALL AGAIN.

If they call again, follow through. Report them to the FTC. Me, whenever they call, their website http://www.takhargroup.com slows down to a crawl mysteriously, and nobody can log on to their scam...;-)

i get the same annoying calls..  nearly every day a recorded message from takhar group.  

the best thing is, i am a foreigner and just moved here 2 months ago, and pay everything by debit card since I don't even have a credit history in the US.  good job takhar.

the number of the people calling me is 1 866 441 5558, i keep getting a message from it

A while back I got a call from a different company.They said I owed on a purchase from 2006, but being theSmart guy that I am I managed to call him out on several things that didn't
Add up.
1: he was unable to give me specifics on my purchase, he thought I got DVDs But I got music CDs.
2: the purchase was made by my father as a gift to me, my name was on theShipping info only and my dad paid IN FULL the company who sent the CDs would not Have sent them if he hadn't.
After that he became complacent and started dogging me for payment and at the time I had never had
A job let alone any money.  It took almost five minutes to explain that I had no way to pay over the phone and that I had to speak to my parents about it. I asked them to call me back in a week. It's been 3 months. I CALL SHENANIGANS!!!

sarah call them back and tell them to remove your number and if they continue to call tell them you will press charges for harrassment

these people constantly call my phone while im at work leaving rude messages saying they require a returned call or legal action will be taken... finally i answered and he asked my name i said no and he cursed me out hung up i called back again got a guy named kevin said that they were looking for some one johnson and i told him no that wasnt me he said yea its you, you owe us money and i said no he said whats your address i told him i wasnt givin him any information he hung up

I dont know who the caller is, I would like for u o find out.

why are u calling me?

Are you serious? Last I heard of this company, it had shut down! Surprising you recieved a call from nowhere! Dont pay them a dime!

Trap welcome to my world just got a call from Tachargroup. What's up with this non Denver. I call back they need to speck to me but dont answer

I just received the same message as Valerie (above). I did a reverse phone look-up without results, so I came back to this site (knowing that I'd find out who it was).

I have called Takhar Group TWICE to tell them to STOP calling me. The calls stopped for a time, but obviously those SCAMMERS don't get the message easily. This time I'm going to more than WARN them. I'm going to start making calls of my own...to the phone company to report them for harassment/telephone fraud, the Massachusetts Attorney General, and anyone else I can think of to put a thorn in their butts and make them stop.

I received a message from the same number (M&M)  It was a female unlike many of the other messages.  Urgent to call back if I want any say in what happens to an account of mine.  Tried calling back and it said to call back later - won't be doing that now.  Thanks for posting info - i probably would have fallen for it even though we have spotless credit!!

M&M i hope that you get back online i am getting the same thing i call back i get disconnected numbers and also the number is busy they are claiming i owe a checksmart when i know damn well i had paid all of these bills off with the way the econmony is i get afford to pissing away money to these scam artist i just paid off a car loan to the bank last week 1,000$ i cant have these people calling me everyday claiming that i owe 300$ to a damn checksmart need your advice if you have any

Thank you

Gone for a week - return home and listening to the answer machine, "URGENT MATTER - return call now - 1.866.408.8299, number they left to call - OMG - what bill didn't get paid, have plenty to cover all bills - NOT living PAY check to PAY check - sometimes it feels like it thou..ha ha .. So I call them and tell them - you guys called me - what is the urgent bill I didn't pay? - and she asked me if this was Morris - I said no, it was Martin - she said she couldn't talk to me and I said if it was a bill - my name is on it too - so what gives? Please pass the message on to Morris.  O.K. thanks. - then I looked it up on the internet - TACCAR Inc. - and found this website.  I think I will update my message after Morris calls.

These people are so full of it! They told me that I would have to go to the Bank of America get a deposit slip, fill it out and deposit the cash into their account! Red flag! Then they stated that they wouldn't send a letter verifying their claim! Red Flag!The had no details, no account number, nothing! How rude!!!!

we got a call from 18004331914 today and they were rude and it was a Austin Lee calling with a india type accent from new york..niagra falls area..says he was a collections agency...needed to discuss important info...we all have no bills to pay on credit.. so what could it be? asked for supervisor.. would not do so.. we called our lawyer.. then we researched the name and it is scam like... so lawyer called them and said stop calling us or they would come after them with legal ways...very rude man on other end and challenging us .. so be ware.. give no info to these .. at all.. call your lawyer and report or the phone company or attorney general in your state!

This number, 866-408-8299, has been calling me for months now, approximately 3-5 times weekly.  I've never answered but they do leave an automated message stating thye're the Takar Group and it is urgent I call them back between the hours of 8-4:30am EST.  And if I don't call it may result in a decision on a file without my input.  What a load of crap!  So I call back, because I've had enough.  First thing I get is this fast paced, chipmunk sounding recording that says my call is very important.  Then after being asked to hold for the next representative a recording comes on to leave a message.  Oh yea, I left a message alright.  And you know what else, I'll keep calling back and leaving messages, any chance I get. Hell I'll harrass them as much as they do me! Blow up that machine!  They should be reported to the Better Business Group or FCC, they can do more research and possible shut them do. Thanks.

i called back a number on my caller id of 877-466-5701.  the "welcome" message stated that they were the takhar group of companies (?) so i waited for a person and got punjabi bob or john or whoever the crap it was.  he asked for me but mispronounced my name.  so i just said whats it in reference to.  he replied it is a personal matter let me talk to [me]...of course i said no i wasn't here he asked if we were related i said no he asked for a better number to reach me on and i just laughed and said why in the world would you think i would give out any of his info to you having no idea who you are or what you're up to?  he asked when he would be able to reach me and i just said good luck...caller id just states 800 Service and 877-466-5701

Hello
I have been getting there phone calls now for about 2 month 3 or 5 times a week. They asked to be called back so I finely got threw to some one. First they did not know my name they called me by Tracey Sanford when I told them that was not my name they said then what is your name so I said Cindy and was stupid enough to give them my last name. At any rate they said that I was the person they were trying to reach and that I owed Virgin mobile $598.00 the odd thing is I have never had a Virgin phone I have always had Verizon wireless. They said not to worry that all I need to do was give them my credit card information and they would make $60.00 dollar a month payment out of my account until it was paid off.I kept saying that I did not owe them any money. So then he asked me for my Social Security number to verify the information on my account. I told them I do no give that out and they said that they needed it to confirm the amount owed. He said I must give him my credit card information social security number and checking account information to start paying off this money or that they would take me to court. I asked them to mail me the statement with my name saying that I owed this amount. He said he was not allowed to do that and that he would keep calling my phone until I paid them. Very rude and all though he had an American name he had a very thick Indian accent. It was all very odd since I have never been delinquent on my bills and have a very good credit score. As a mater of fact I had my credit report done in September when I bought my new home and there were no outstanding or delinquent bills. I really think this might be some sort of SCAM its very sad if it is because they are very convincing and I would hate for someone to get Scammed by them  and get there identity stolen.

I just recieved a call from a "Nancy" at Takar,different # but the same message, urgent financial situation. I never answer these calls, never will

I also receive John Baker's phone calls, about 30 a day.  But he only knows my work number, not my home phone.  He's really rude, hangs up on us, and immediately calls back.  I work at a hospital and he's driving all my co-workers crazy.  We've been transferring calls to the police department.  They've done some searches and believe he's calling from another country, but unfortunately they really can't do nothing about that.  We tried tracing calls, but usually no luck, once they were able to trace to a fax line.  Now we're working on getting these calls blocked, just hopefully I don't lose my job first.

This group is a total scam and lets hope they all fall hard for the low lives they are.  They start with a rude and highly threatening sounding recorded message and when you call the number back because you've been told by the recording that 'to not return the call will result in a settlement against you' and that this is the only opportunity to defend what ever action they are taking against you.  Everything is very vague but you are led to believe that whatever it is you are already in the wrong.  Report these calls to your local authorities and do not fall for their threats, they are no better than scum bags and are only trying to defraud people.

This company is bogus.  Neither I or my partner have ever shopped with BMG but this company insists on trying to collect.  We have requested verification under the FDCPA and they have not been able to do so; therefore they will NEVER be able to sue me or collect.  Further, they are not authorized to transact collections business in the state of Wisconsin (at least not at the time I posted this).  If they try, contact the State Dept. of Financial Institutions which regulates their industry here and report their illegal activity.  I would also contact Attorney General Van Hollen's Office and report it as well as the Federal Trade Comission.  As always when dealing with alleged collectors DO NOT verify any information (not even your name or address) and never agree to any terms without something in writing sent to the address they have on file.

Ihave been receiving these same calls.  I don't know who they are looking for but it is not me. What can we do to stop this harassment? I left them a message not to call me again.

THANKS SO MUCH for your input!  My answering machine recorded exactly the same message just a few minutes ago, and I was taken aback by the rudeness of whoever-the-hell it was phoning  -  now I know.  If they call again, I'll file a complaint with the Attorney General's office.  Frankly, I'm sick to death of hearing that Indian accent every time I try to settle a billing or tech problem.  Don't they have some OTHER way of earning a living over there??

A Dwayne Johnson called me about ten times yesterday, I finally spoke to him and he would only say I owed 78.00 to a book club.  I have no idea what he is talking about.  I refused to pay until I had something in writing.  He called again today and I told him it was illegal to call after he just talked to me yesterday, if it is a debt collection and he has spoken to me, the supposed accountholder, he isn't allowed to call again for 7 days.  He h/up on me.  Ten minutes later he called back under a different last name.  I asked for a supervisor.  I got Mark Evans, he said that there was no notation of a Dwayne Johnson speaking with me today.  I told him I was filing a complaint with federal agencies and I was not paying a supposed bill until I see a hard copy.  They are supposedly sending me a bill.

I also got a recorded message (Fair Debt violation 1: they did not identify themselves as a collection agency). So i called back the next day. They told me I owed $100something dollars to a book club from over two years ago. When I asked when they mailed out my notice so I could request debt validation, they said on Aug 9th and since they were in NY, I should have gotten it already. So I asked for thier address to mail the request. They said they couldn't give me it. I either had to pay them the money or they would report the credit agencies. I knew this was a lie and told them it was illegal to not allow me to request validation. I knew I had 30 days..reporting it now would be in violation. She said she would give me til 9/9 to make my decision as to pay or not. I again asked for the address and she said she would not give it to me and was going to report it anyway. She hung up on me. I called back and spoke to someone else. They said they couldn't give me the address. SO..I contacted the Better Business Bureau, the Attorney General for NYS, and the FTC for the violations. NYS is cracking down on such business and are very much interesting in looking into this further. I suggest to anyone having to deal with them, contact the NYS Att. General and file a complaint! Get them shut down so they don't harrass anyone else.

Takhar group keeps calling me and when I speak to them they promise to take me off their system because I have NO debt registered with them.  Still after 4 months, i continue to receive calls...

I have also received a message to call a Michael Johnson at the takhar group acouple of days ago but did not respond to the message because i could not place the number and have never seen that number or that name before and none of it even rang a bell. So whatever or whoever this company is does not sound good. Be careful people.
