We've been getting calls over several months.  We may go a couple of weeks without getting one and then we'll start getting them several times a day.  Same story everyone else has -- there's never anyone there if you answer.  My husband called the BBB and never got any response from them.  Today, I tried calling the Mercantile Adjustment Bureau in the previous comments.  Here's hoping to never hear from them again!

Someone from this number has called me several times this month and last month, and leaves pre recorded voicemails, I just got this number last month and they started almost immediately and just like a lot of people are saying here, they dont stop calling.

I got call from this # a couple of time with no one when i pick. Today I just got another call & was asked to call back 800 466 5259. They were look for someone else they said my # will be taken off the list.

Hope i'll not get the call again.

Called their toll-free number, sat on hold 10 min.  Spoke to a Ms. Hornvey- who claims to have removed me from their list.  She wouldn't explain why I was on the list in the first place.

My legal dept. and their's is going to have a fun time in the morning

I went to the website for MAB listed on a previous response.  I called the number listed 800) 836-0592, pressed 3 on the options menu to speak with a real person.  I just gave him my number and it turned out they were trying to reach someone else.  He removed my number from the file immediately and thanked me for calling to let them know.  It only took a minute, which is worth avoiding the pestering phone calls.

Like others, this number had called me repeatedly over time, but until today, the message never left a clear call back number.  Like someone else has mentioned, the call back number left today was 1-800-466-5259.  Operator answered right away, asked my number, then asked if I was Sylvia Clayton, which I am not.  Operator said immediately that she would delete my number.  Hopefully that's the end of it.

I keep getting a call from this same number with a recording to call Mr. Sherman about resurgent capital...

GETTING REALLY ANNOYING....MY MESSAGE ALWAYS SAYS THEY ARE CALLING FROM MERCANTILE AND THAT IT IS NOT A SALES CALL!!!!! I HAVE KNOW IDEA WHAT MERCANTILE IS!

I just got this phone last week, and I am already getting phone calls from this bogus number.

Really bad people. keep calling me for nothing.

I used the toll-free number in this info, pressed "0" when I got to the menu and I spoke to a person.  They were looking for the person who had my phone number before me.  She put a note on my number and "sent it up" to be removed.  Thanks to those who dug around and found the info!

Same here I am registered w/ donut call but it gets through. I'll throttle the f'er if I get my hands on them.

I just got my phone for Christmas - a prepaid phone, and today I received a voicemail from this number.  The message was mostly cut off, and I only heard the last part which told me to call back.  Obviously this call is not for me, since none of my personal information isn't even attached to this number, and I just received the phone a few days ago.  I suspect the number belonged to someone else and they're still receiving bill collectors at this number.

I ANSWER THE PHONE AND IT GOES DEAD

I started getting calls from this number about 2 months ago. The calls would come every day at midmorning or evening for about a week then stop. They'd start up again after about a week. I find them irritating. Since I don't know the number I delete the mssgs. I did try calling once or twice and got an automated voice asking me to please hold...I thought forget that. Well now I've gotten a letter from Mercantile stating that I owe Sears some money on an account that I paid off over 2 years ago.

I received a call from 716-817-6409 around 10:30 am on Wednesday, 5-Dec-2007.  They didn't leave a message.  When I tried to call back, just got the "fast busy" signal, that usually indicates an out-of-order line. This is annoying !

For the past 2 nights 12/3/07 and 12/4/07 I have received phones calls from the following number 716-817-6409,and guess what it has been the same time both nights 7:31 PM,  when I call back they say all circuits are busy and when I will call again the number is busy.  I am on the do not call phone list and the only people who should be calling me are strictly family and friends.

I got a call last from this number 716 817-6409 when I tried to call it back it was busy.

I've been receiving calls on my cellphone from this number for the past week, starting last Sunday night.  They never leave a message and when I call back all I get is a fast busy signal.  I answered the call today and and the line immediately went dead.  I read in a previous post that they are a gas/electric collector.  That makes sense since I recently discovered that someone has stolen my identity and has been opening up gas service in my name.  My wife and I are dealing with having our identity stolen.  It is a complete mess trying to straighten it out, especially if you are busy with a family and have little time outside of work to deal with it.

Got a call from this number at around noontime on Sunday.  Was a recording notifying me that I had to call another number during regular business hours for a "very important reason" but there was no explanation what that "very important reason" was and the name of the contact person was unknown to me.  For some several months now, I have been calls from collection agencies for someone I don't know but who apparently had this telephone number before I did.  I have repeatedly told these collection agencies to stop calling me since I'm not the person they are looking for.  Although I have no proof, I assume this is more of the same.

I keep getting calls from this number. I'm  called about two to three times a week at different times. I've answered once but the lines goes dead once you pick up. If you let it go to voicemail a recording is left saying you owe on a gas bill. I don't have a gas bill with anyone. I tried to call this number back and you get a fast busy signal. This is very distrubing and I would like for it to stop. I hope someone can get to the bottom of this.

I get calls from this #, like once every week or so.  Seems like it usually calls in the AM.  Last time was 10:04 am on a Tuesday.  Always leaves same voicemail message: "You are now monitoring the integrated dialer."

Please help!

yes, it's annoying!!!
who is this?

I get almost once a day and start getting annoyed very much.
I never call them back or anything at all. I always let them
leave a message and I don't even listen it.
I know this is some kind of tele marketing or try to steal identity
in stuff so don't respond to them.

Isn't there any leggal way to stop them?

i missed this call, remembered an email warning and typed this number in my google search and it brought me here. they left no voicemail, when i called it back, my cell one service stated "network busy, try again?"  sherri hurd sometimesyoulose@hjotmail.com

Chances are that it's a collection agency.  They usually will leave a message with a number, and often the name of the person who they're trying to reach, stating that it's very important to call.  The reason there's no answer when you pick up the phone is that they're automated (on a dialer system) ... and several calls are dialed at the same time.  Whoever answers first, gets the person.  The rest just get dumped back in the system and redialed again.  

Even if you don't owe money, you'll get these calls, as people often give false info (or old info) when they apply for a loan, or if they're in the hospital, etc.

It's rough, but the best thing to do is keep answering, and if you get a person (and it is a collection agency), just calmly explain that there is no one there by the name they're looking for.  They may ask a couple of times, or verify your phone number ... just remember, they're only doing their job, and they're people just like you.  Usually, if you're nice, and explain it calmly, they'll remove your name from the system.  Sometimes it takes a couple of times, but they'll do it.

I'm sorry, but I disagree.  After being bothered so many times by this number, at all hours of the day, I'm a little too angry to just "be nice and explain calmly" because they are bothering me AT HOME.  They need to verify their information, or at least get a real person to say what they want. I don't have time to correct their faulty paperwork for them.

i will not do the work of a collection agency. they are to lazy to do the leg work necessary to perform their job, be nice and calm as they call you at dinner or when your'e putting the baby to bed. yeah i'll be nice.

I hve been getting calls from this number for months-all hours of the day and early evenings. I do not answer-but it is very annoying.What can be done about this??

I get calls at all hours from this number.  When I pick my phone up, there is nobody there.  When I call back, they say all circuits are busy.  His calls harass me at all hours of the day and night. If I find out who is behind it, I will sue him after I have him arrested for harassment charges. It is too bad the police have not arrested these criminals/terrorists before now.
