Message on machine. Not even sure it was for me, turned the volume all the way up and could only hear my last name being mangled. The part of the message I could hear said "Inspection Agency" and the extension listed has a letter, how would you use that?? No clue what this is about, other people listed student loans and while I have them I pay them the required payments every month.

At the time in 2011, West Asset Management, Inc. ("WAM"),  was located at  2253 Northwest Parkway SE, Suite 500, Marietta, Georgia 30067.

See:  http://www.bbb.org/nebraska/business-reviews/ ... ha-ne-106000003#   This might be the same company but it has a different address.

The people on the line identify themselves as West Asset Management, but they might be spoofing; it's hard to tell.   In any event, it strikes me as a company to stay away from.

Above posters indicate debt collections of some sort.  Be wary of, lots of extortion scams going on these day's.

I thought I was answering a friends call that showed up on my caller ID.  Are they now hacking cell phones?  My e-mail was hacked earlier this week.  Who are these people?

1-888-872-0036

They are calling me on my job and this isn't right.

I choose not to be contacted at work at all regardign anything that's not job releated.

Called my boss, but only left a mumbled message and this number. Terrible business practices from this company, who would ever trust them with their credit card or bank number?

They are hassling me again! I live on almost nothing...will they ever give up! My mother is dead now so they can't call her any more. I had to play the message five times the person spoke so unclear...mumbled as the others said...never got the last name but this was an Amanda...I expect they are on minimum wage...but what a horrid job!!! And this site has the gaul to put a debt collector ad above my comment? What a ploy...

She talk so low asked for someone that hasn't lived at home for 10 years. So excited that I would write her phone number down and pass it on.
You would think that if they continued to call, without leaving details, that you would really call them back?

Someone named Janica Walton called my elderly mother looking for me, supposedly regarding a "business matter". Ridiculous to call on Christmas Eve IMO & the call even being answered was a fluke as my mother was waiting to hear from her doctor! I just wonder how many other missed calls w no msgs left that come from different #s were/are actually from these people? How many #s are they using to bother or downright harass people??!

They have  been calling different family members and not leaving any information. They told my daughter that it was a legal matter. She told them that if they cant tell her daughter what its about then they don't need to call her, so do not call me again. They even went as far as to call my father from a different number. I called them back and it was a machine right away stating that this call will be recorded for quality assurance then asked if I needed it in Spanish to push the number 8. I figure if you cant even pick up the phone with a human then really don't want to talk to me.  I think its student loans. Well I say add it to my portion of the national debt.

Wrote me about a student loan. I did replied wiothout supplying my phone number and ask them to send me all correspondence in writing so I could clear up any issues since this was a loan made to a fraudulent school Trianco many years ago in 1988. I know it is illegal for them to contact you by phone after you notify them in writing as I did that I did not want them calling by phone. Andy didn't honor this law. I calle him to let him know my current address and let him know there would be no further communication by phone since I did not have the ability to record his converation as he did mine and I had requested all correspondence be in writing. These bill collec tors don't care they violate the law all the time.

This number called me (Brent Scoens) and said they were transferred to me from the payroll department.  We don't have a payroll department!???

You would think that if they continued to call, without leaving details, that you would really call them back? Or even if you owe money, and haven't paid them yet, you probably won't pay them now! So annoying!

This is still America right? You call ME, and won't leave information about what you want? 8:00PM? Good lord!!

Annoying pains in the a**. Don't give hours, no information. You either act legitimate or stop calling. Are you all 5 year olds?

CALLED AND LEFT MSG I COULD BARELY UNDERSTAND ABOUT A DEBT.
