Caller asked to speak with someone in the tax department. Aside from there not being a "tax department", calls do not go through if the caller doesn't know the name of the person they're trying to reach.

Caller did not like this, kept asking why, in that I-can't-believe-you're-being-so-unreasonable tone. Eventually hung up.

I suspected the caller was not being honest from the first. Did not suspect it was a collector.

This is from their website....notice "aggressive"

Sorry Brian they don't buy any debts, get INFORMED
And if you owe a bill, consider doing the right thing and paying your obligation so you won't have to be called by anyone.

It is not illegal to call you at the place of employment when you owe a debt unless you  have asked them to not contact you at work or if you live in a state that you cant call the place of employement. Get informed.

I called them back and asked why they were calling my number as they didn't leave a message and it came through as out of area.  The guy hung up on me.  I called back and got a different guy and told him the jerk hung up on me when I asked why they were calling me.  I said I believe it is against the law to call people who owe nothing.   He at least was nice and said it was a wrong number and they won't call me any more.  We'll see how that goes!   I asked if they were legitimate, why does their name come up as Out of Area?

In Settlement with FTC, Debt Collectors Agree to Stop Deceiving Consumers and Pay Nearly $800,000

Consumers Allegedly Were Tricked into Paying Unnecessary Fees and Falsely Threatened with Legal Action

After allegedly misleading consumers into paying unnecessary fees and falsely threatening consumers with lawsuits, defendants in a debt collection operation have agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges.

The FTC alleged in its complaint that the defendants ? a debt buyer and a debt collection law firm, both based in Mississippi ? violated the FTC Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by deceptively charging consumers a fee for payments authorized by telephone.  According to the FTC, the defendants led consumers to believe that the fee was unavoidable when, in fact, those who paid by mail or online did not incur the fee.  The FTC also alleged that the companies violated the laws by falsely threatening to sue consumers as a means of getting them to pay.  A debt collector is prohibited by law from using false, deceptive, or misleading representations or tactics when collecting a debt.

Under the terms of the proposed settlement, the defendants will pay $799,958 in restitution for consumers.  The defendants also are barred from making any misrepresentations  when collecting a debt, including false claims that consumers must pay an extra fee when making payments on a debt or that they will be sued for not paying a debt.

According to the complaint, debt buyer Security Credit Services, LLC, and Jacob Law Group, PLLC have worked together since 2006 to collect debts nationwide.  Security Credit buys consumer debt accounts, and contracts with Jacob Law to collect on them.  The complaint alleges that Jacob Law called and pressured consumers to immediately make payments on their debts by authorizing electronic checks or credit or debit card payments over the phone.  Jacob Law allegedly told consumers they were required to pay an additional fee of $18.95 for this service, but routinely failed to mention that they could avoid the fee by mailing the payment or paying online.  Since 2008, the defendants have collected at least $799,958 in fees from consumers.

The FTC also alleged that Jacob Law Group implied that it would file lawsuits to collect the debts even when it did not intend to do so.

This is Jacob Law Group PLLC in Oxford, MS. They are a real debt collection agency. They are the scum of the earth. Do not fear these people. They are all talk. They buy bad debt from companies and then add their fees and try to collect the account from the person(s) that owes the debt. Tell these people to F*** Off. Hotty Toddy!!!!

Just leaves a recording to call them back. They call me at work...illegal to do that.

Called and asked for a name - same last name as ours, but a first name of nobody I know.  I replied, I don't know that person; there is nobody here by that name.   He said, well I have your number registered to....and gave our names.   I said, Well, that is NOT_____  (the name he was asking for)!   He then said something I could not even understand and I hung up on him.

Called didn't leave message when answering machine picked. Just hung up. No message. Called only once.

They are indeed legit. Call the number back and tell them you recently changed to this number and you don't know the person. Problem solved.

they are a acam call not sure what they want but they are getting annoying.  Just keeps calling and calling.
called the police they said there is nothing they can do will get my number changed.

Have gotten two phone calls from this number, one yesterday and then again today but they don't complete the call. The phone will ring three or four rings then stops. We have an automated system that is a call block and asks that if you are a solicitor then hang up otherwise press "1" and your number will appear, so either they aren't set up for that or they don't want to go thru the automated system. If they want to talk to someone then they need to leave a message!

debt collector
Jacob Collection Group

They call all the time but do not state who they are calling for. They just say this is the Jacob law group calling and return the phone call. They do not answer when you call back they call every day several times.

Legit debt collectors must identify themselves, and send a letter of verification to your home ONLY if you owe a debt.

It's a collection agency, or attorney's office attempting to collect a debt. They don't identify themselves. They only leave messages telling you to call the person calling back at this, or some other number, and that they are indeed attempting to collect a debt.
