Dec 10, 2007 received phone call from woman who would not identify herself claiming to have a package to be delivered from an overnight delivery service.  Caller ID 636-220-8701 could not be called back, but found as residential land line near Manchester, MO.  Anyone else getting this call?  How is this line escaping the Do Not Call List?  Is it a scam?

This call came in on my cell phone 636-220-7376.  I didn't answer and no message.  It appears from deeper research to be from a company called Players National Locator http://www.playersnational.com/index.asp .  They appear to be a skip tracing company based in or near St Louis MO, with a specialty in mortages and foreclosures, and foreclosure deficiency recovery.  It makes sense in my case, as I am struggling to sell a house prior to it being foreclosed on.  Best of luck to anyone in the same boat.

IT IS STARTING AGAIN!  NOW THE NUMBER IS 636-220-7205  WATCH OUT!!!

Its not illegal if you are not collecting a debt.

I just received this call and the caller identified herself as a representative from Overnight Express asking for my husband.  She said that she had a package that would be delivered in 24 hours.  When I asked who it was from, she said PO BO 288, Chicago IL.  We have not ordered anything and I will wait to see if in fact a "package" arrives.

These are debt collection agencies that are contacting you, and what they are doing is illegal.

So Savana, I hope you realize you are violating a federal law.

"Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General's office and the Federal Trade Commission. Many states have their own debt collection laws, and your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights.

The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint or to get free information on consumer issues, visit ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261.

Contact an attorney in your area and see if there is grounds for a harassment suit.

Its not a scam.  Perhaps you should all be paying your bills.  Eventually, it will catch up with you.

They called my parents house (I have not lived there for over 20 years) and told my dad that they have been trying to deliver a package to my house. The lady said that the package would be delivered within the next 48 hours. I can't beleive that a reputable company would act this way so I have to assume it is some type of scam.

I have been getting this number on my ID and it rings up as Players National.  Looked them up online and it's a skip trace company.  Maybe we all owe some over due bills?

called my inlaws house for my husband-havent lived there in 10yrs,said was a fed ex package and will deliver it tomorrow.???? i tried calling back,says all circuits busy.have no idea who this could be?????

I keep getting these calls on my cell phone, and the number starts out the same, and then it changes, well the last four change. next time, im gonna answer and act like I cant hear...

i answered from this number and got the same routing others have posted on similar numbers . . . a girl from 'overnight express' in st. louis, MO wanting to verify address for a package.  she had my name and address and said the package was coming from a po box in chicago.  it didn't seem right so i did some investigating and found all these others on this site.

i did a *57 to start a tracer and then called to report it to the at&t annoyance call bureau at 1-800-769-4099 and to our local authorities.

do you live in ohio snickers and are you female?

december 12....this lady called my in laws in indiana,,i havent lived there in 7 yrs...wanting to know where i was living now.  i tried calling the number back and you cant do it. it wants an area code and i put it in everytime. how do you contact someone and tell them about this?

So far I have not had any more calls, nor have I received a package, but did report it to the local police just for documentation.  I have also notified my banks and check my activity frequently - again, so far nothing.  I also found the service provider for the number is a company named Charter Link 888-438-2427 and filed a complaint that one of their customers is committing a crime.  They are supposed to investigate and call me back in 5 business days.  If more people complain to the company receiving the payment for that number, maybe they will investigate a little further.  I also notified my service provided and complained since my number is on the National Do Not Call List.  Is there a common denominator for us????

I got a similar phone call, but from a 636-220-8698 number.  The woman said she had an overnight package for me and needed to confirm my name and address and then also had my ex-husband's address.  The package was supposedly coming from a P.O. Box in Chicago Illlinois.

what can it be?  is it an id theft thing ?  where can we report this for someone to look into it?

We got the same message.
Did you find out anthing?

Same thing:  trying to deliver a package to both me and my ex husband.  we live at two different addresses and they had both.  Thoughts?

Have you heard anything back about this?  I just got this phone call....

On Dec. 10, 2007 I received the same phone call with the same info as Dave above.  Is this a scam?  Any help is appreciated as charges will be filed!

I just got the same phone call!  And the same results when searching including the address it was being sent from.  Did she ask for you by your real name?

I just got one of these phone calls too!  Is it a scam?????   Did they ask for you by name?

On Dec 8, 2007 I received a phone call from an unidentified woman at this number who said a package would be delivered in the next 24 to 36 hours and would I be home to receive it. She did not know who was sending it.  She said it was from a PO Box 288, Chicago IL. A directory search on this phone # returns it as an unlisted, residential landline near Manchester, MO. I dialed *69 to get the number after the call.

I received a strange call from a woman who said she is trying to deliver a package for me. The address she had is the one I had 10 years ago. When I started asking questions, she hung up. I dialed back but could not connect.

Anyone else got this call? Is it a new scam?
