Receiving numerous calls from various numbers (216-647-0870, 201-793-8174, 708-575-0603, or unknown name/unknown number)....sometimes they leave a message to call First Financial Bank at the 888-557-1281 number, but they do not leave the message for a specific person.....if we do happen to answer the calls...they never identify themselves or the company...they ask about a non-existent credit card account...they also ask us to verify social security number, date of birth, address, etc....believe this to be phishing scam and have reported them all to my bank's fraud department

i think i just paid these people a settlement and i didnt owe them

First Financial. I have no business with them and no of no family members that I am aware that do either.They call me, but in all of their messages they refuse to leave a name of who they are trying to reach. They call at least twice a day on my line that I use strictly as an outgoing line for business. My phone service allows me to block unwanted callers, but these scumbags use an alias on their calls so I am unable to reject their calls. Real dirt bags.

Receive a call daily around 9:30am from varying numbers (and area codes) all telling me to call this number. They claim they are from First Financial Bank USA.

A woman named Sarah called from this number, supposedly for her boss.  She said she has good news for me and wants me to return the call.

Hey Everyone,

I stumbled on the website looking for banks phones number. Yes, First Financial Bank USA is a credit card companybased in Dakota Dunes, South Dakota. They pray on College Kids looking to build there credit. This think with First Financial Bank is that you can only be invited to apply for they're credit card. I worked for them for about 1.5 years. However, thier are many companies in the "Dunes". Becareful of this credit card folks. The fees will kill you!

BTW Dakota Dunes is a city in South Dakata...it is where 1st Financial Bank USA is located.

Received this call from, sounded like, the Mandateeism's office, what the heck is that?

This company says they are First Financial and calls constantly for someone named Nicole, with the same last name as me.  I don't even know a Nicole...

THIS NUMBER BELONGS TO FIRST FINANCIAL'S COLLECTIONS DEPARTMENT WHICH IS LOCATED IN DAKOTA DUNES.

Got daily calls asking to “call 1st Financial Bank USA at 1 888 557 1281”.  The number on caller ID is 708 572 0603.  Looked on BBB.org and found that 1st Financial Bank USA is a legitimate business.  Went to their website and got a customer service number 1800 733 1732.  Called that number and told them I was getting daily calls but that I had no business relationship with 1st Financial Bank USA.  CSR asked for the phone number that they were calling (didn’t ask for any other personal info), I gave it to him, he then asked if I was Brandon Palmer (which I am NOT), I said “nope, not me, I have no idea who that is”, he then apologized and said he would remove the number from their call list.  Stupid Brandon; giving out bogus numbers.

It is First Financial. Just call the number on the voicemail... 1-888-557-1281, and they will remove you from the list without any hassle. Unless you are the person they are actually looking for :)

it's first financial bank

Keep receiving calls saying to call First Financial Bank at (888) 557-1281.  Have been receiving calls every day, approximately 6 calls a day.  Caller ID states either 1 714 607 5731 or 708 572-0603.  Also got an unknown number on Caller ID and when i did not answer they left a message.  Was told that this was someone i do not associate with anymore but they still call.

Rec'd call from 888-557-1281, Jack Harrison.  Called both work and cell, and I don't give out my cell (Tracfone) just to keep down on paying for nuisance calls.  I also don't give out my cube number because, hey, I'm at work a***ole.

My parents also got a call for (888)557-1281. They told me they received about 5 calls in one day. Same guy Jack Harrison, I called the number he answered and said that was his name. I said wrong number and hung up.Who is this guy? What does he want?

I read on another list that it is from First Financial Bank.  Now I do owe them money but there are two things:  1) I got the credit card before my sister even met her husband; and 2) how did they get my in-laws number?  they said that I put them down for a reference, but how could I do that if when I got the card, I didn't even know they existed?

My in law got a call from someone saying that they were from a bank and that I had put them down as a reference.  Now, I know that I have never had my in law's number, not to mention the fact that even if I had I would never put them down as a reference because I don't like them.  I called them back and someone named Becky answered.  I immediately hung up but am still a little weary about them.

Christine,
I checked the caller ID number you provided in your message. I noticed that it is a phone number for Dakota Dunes in South Dakota (someone else on another board - don't remember where - found this out too but I found more info). Dakota Dunes is a planned community with COMMERCIAL property. I checked the Business Directory and there are several banks at Dakota Dunes, including First Financial Bank which, as I already mentioned, I believe is the caller. Go to www.dakotadunes.com for more info (click on Commerical and then Business Directory -- you'll see First Financial Bank's direct numbers there; they don't match your caller ID number though).

888-557-1281 is most likely a collection agency. I have read somewhere else (another board -  http://creditboards.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t175753.html) that said it may be First Financial Bank or a collection agency "representing" them.

have u called back?

i get calls every week or so wanting me to call back about a personal matter

Calling at least once a day from 713-965-0084.  Various people with "Amanda" somethingorother's office leaving messages, most recently Alan, stating the letter sent will expire soon and to return their call at 888-557-1281 before 8 PM Central time.

Didn't call my cell phone number but called my parents' home asking for me.

The call came in after 4 pm on 9/13/07.  Caller ID was M Siever 313-277-2695.  Caller said he was Kevin and needed to talk to Regan to see if she received a letter that was sent.  Asked to return a call to 1-888-557-1281 and he would be in the office until 9pm.

I received this call at 4:01pm......"Hi, my name is Jack Harrison, looking for tenant xxx (which is me).  Please return my call at 1-888-557-1281, I will be here until 9 o'clock (pm) eastern daylight time."

Caller ID displayed "M Sievers 313-277-2695"

Wanting a return call reguarding a time sensitive matter.
