I got two calls from these a**holes a day after I went to the Western Sky Financial website (my curiosity got the better of me) and left only basic contact info to get more info about Western Sky.  Connection for fraud?  Haven't heard from anyone associated with Western Sky yet . . . a little too much of a coincidence.

They don't like when you keep calling back and hanging up on them! I got ma call from this number over my lunch break at work so I answered and they hung up on me. So I called back and said you hung up on me and he hung up again. Soooo I put it on auto redial and hang up. Did that about 20 sum times i got a phone call from the number and the guy said that it was a mistake that they wont call back again! Nothing better to do on my lumch break besides annoy the s*** of them so why not!

Company is CPC, I just got a call and dialed it back...I told them that I just received a call from this number and they asked for me or my husband. I told them to never dial this number again or I will have to contact my attorney.  He immediately said they would stop...we shall see.

Got a call from this number sounding like a collection agent. Called back and found out they were and are making random calls. All a scam we need to know who we are talking to.

I have the same thing going on.. I have perfect credit.  I believe what's happened is that many banks from years ago (perhaps when you were a teenager such as myself) wrote off debt then sold it to these screwballs 20 years later and they're trying to collect.  They, afterall, paid money most likely to "buy" the debt.  The bank or financial instituion wrote the loss off a looooong time ago.  But, it does still linger.  My debt was consolidated and paid and the bank wrote it off.  I was 17 with a credit card and like an idiot, wasn't responsible at the time.  However, I took care of the problem.  There's nothing they can do legally or to your credit score, so I frankly, just have fun with them when they call.  They can't do a God damn thing and I find it hilarious...especially with the way banks have taken advantage of so many in the past five years.

Got a call from this number called back from a different number and said it was CPC. It's a debt collector

THIS Number started calling me at least 2 times a day.  Over a week now.

continuew\ calling my nu,mber

somebody call me colleccion... for any time

I just got a call from this number but didnt answer it but I like to try to call these people back just to mess with them so I did but there was some beeping sound like a busy signal so they must be using a fake number (spoofing).  That disappoints me when I cannot call them back.

These call originate from Central Portfolio Control  http://www.cpcpayments.com/

These idiots phoned again today. Same number, but stating they were from another agency. CPC, if I remember correctly. I again told them they could speak with my attorney. FWIW, I have perfect credit and have never been late on a bill. Unsure of how they got my information in the first place. How does one go about reporting such "agencies"?

A bunch of scammers. Nothing more. Nothing less. Said I owed a company I haven't even heard of money. I laughed when he told me he would have a warrant for my arrest, I told him he was a sham and I would gladly let him speak with my attorney. He hung up.

I just received a phone call from this number.  I was at work so I didn't answer it.  Should I be reporting it?

I received a call from this same number except after I answered it, there was a 45 second delay in someone being on the other end of the line and then, the man came on and stated that he was from CPC and I asked what CPC stood for and he stated it was short for Credit Protection Collection and I asked him what this was for and he stated that he was assigned this account regarding a Fingerhut account that was opened up in 2007 and was closed in 2009 due to non payment of the account. I explained to this guy that I never opened an account with them nor do I ever remember it. He stated to me that then why is it that they had my last four digits of my SS number and that they found my cell number attached to this account. I told him #1 that this number was private and that I did not owe anyone anything and he was very rude and stated that he would send me a statement to my address and that he wanted no more excuses and just to pay the ******** bill. I stopped him and stated to him that he needed to stop this whole process and that I will be in touch with my attorney. He then stated, WHATEVER and then rudely hung up.

This number supposedly rings in somewhere in Florida but I found out later that it is originally from Minnesota. If anyone gets a call from this number, ignore it and report immediately to local law enforcement.

I was busy studying and this number rang. At first this guy acted very friendly and asked me a couple of basic questions. Like are you emplyed and what I do. I never gave specific answers. I was in the middle of studying and needed to get off the phone, so when I asked him the reason why he is calling he changed tones ver quickly. He told me that i or my family had to make a payment over the phone payment over the phone, and when i asked him for his name he gave me the name Sam C. He said that he is not obligated to give me his last name or direct phone number,..so I asked to speak with someone higher up, like his manager. There is no way i am giving any more information out to someone who can not even tell me his name. He said he does not know anyone higher up and got very angry with me. He tried to pressure me to give him money on the phone abd threatened he will make my financial situation worse for me. He would not let me get off the phone. Finally I said that this was harrassment he hung up.

Rings not even 1 full ring then hangs up - I've gotten a call from this number 3 times in the past week.  Annoying!

Got a call from this number.  I have had problems with people call my number so I called it back and got an ear full about me being nosey -- HEY THIS IS MY PHONE NUMBER THAT I PAY FOR IF YOU CALL MY NUMBER AND DON'T IDENTIFY YOURSELF THEN IT IS MY RIGHT TO CALL YOU BACK TO FIND OUT WHO IS CALLING!

Mr. --------
this is a call from Portfolio Collections and you have defaulted on a payback agreement , it is imperative that you call us back at 866 xxx xxxx. Or else....

I have gotten three calls in two days from these idiots.  I answered once and they told me that they were handling a pending legal matter for me and there would be a warrant for my arrest!

I laughed, told them they were the worst of the scammers I've seen yet and he hung up on me.

Hey...... these people calling from INDIA, CHINA and other countries. where hundred of call centers are running for getting money by fraud from USA and UK citizens... ITS ALL SCAM...

How it runs..........(for debt collection)

It starts when people tries to get loan online, they fill all their personal detail on that sites and problem starts from this point. all your information is sold to collection agencies (call centers) at $4 to $6 / Person, whether you got that loan or not.

SO what actually they (Call Centers) do...

1. They have all of your information includes: your name, social security number, address, employment detail, 2 references and a detail of amount.( which you didn't get)

2. For dialing purpose call center gets USA or UK numbers. they calls through various softwares (like: ICALL). And have various phone numbers.

3.They hire college students or some people and prepare them to communicate with you. (training classes for getting a bit of American accent) and gives them fake names (American).

4. They makes a write up for leaving message to threaten you. like:-

"This message is intended for Mr. john (your name).  john the very second you receive this msg i need you or your retained attorney to call me back. the issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. my name is ..........., and i am calling from financial accountability association, my call back no. is 123456789, i am repeating this for you john 123456789, john don't disregard this msg and call me on my number back as soon as possible. if i don't get any call from you or from your attorney........ wish you good luck, bye"

5. If you pick up phones ...they will threaten you by saying... that federal govt or federal legislation  is going to pressing lawsuit against you and your social security number. and try to make you remember that you took a pay day loan and never paid it back... so it is very easy to threaten you by saying that "such company falling lawsuit against you for your unpaid loan".
( you don't know for which loan he/she talking about and try to remember your last 2- 3 loans (which you actually got and never paid)).  At this time you stuck in the situation.

(according to my perception you never know "how many loan you took in last 1 or 2 year"- sorry-- joking)

6. They will tell that you are charged against these allegations:-  1. Theft by deception 2. collateral cheque fraud

7. They will tell u that they have sent various mails to inform you but u never replied and that was the only way to communicate you.

8.They will ask u to write a Apologizing letter that “your intention was not bad and you never wanted to run away with that money & you want to fix that issue by paying ..... amount.”


how to avoid them...

1. By telling that you have an attorney (Both criminal and bankruptcy). give any number by saying "call to my attorney"... they won't call.
2. By telling that u know : Its ALL SCAM .......... they will hung up.
3. By telling that its not my social security number....... they will never call.
4.By asking for the date of loan taken (online)........ they can't help you in this matter (by which u can come to know about scam)

Don't be afraid.........They won't sue........

If this detail is helpful for you please copy paste this into other pages... don't be selfish.... and save other people from being fool.


My English is not so good.
I am an Indian........ all Indians are not same... you can send me mail for more detail:- jasusviju@gmail.com

IF YOU REALLY TOOK LOAN AND WANT TO PAY IT BACK THEN PLEASE VERIFY ALL DETAIL BEFORE PAYING ANYONE.........

Thanks and help people

Called looking for my daughter.  Asked for her by her maiden name, she's been married for 3 years.  I said she doesn't live here anymore, she's married.  They replied well no wonder I can't find her if she's married now, what's her number.  I asked what it was in regards to and was replied with I'm sorry but federal law forbids me from telling you.  I said well then you can figure out her married name and number yourself.  I was then told that I could continue to protect her if I wanted to, but it would just get worse for her.  I tried to reply that I was merely trying to find out what they wanted and was hung up on instead.  Very rude male voice.
