some recorded message about it not being a telemarketing call and asking to call this number and provide the given reference number - really weird.  What is the scam?

get the same call - often

Called number was told they were collection company to recoup debt on landline based phone account from 05 with an address we never lived in. Problem is my number is from internet based phone.

Same as above - recorded message about it not being a telemarketing call and asking to call this number and provide the given reference number.

Same as above. Twice I have received this taped  message that insists it's not a telemarketing call but rather an important call about some financial business I have with their company. The message goes somewhat low volume when it mentions the company name so I never hear it clearly(Park Vantzen? Danson?).

Same as above. Called my home several times, looks like telemarketing call (mentioned something about 'important financial matter', but don't specified which, and mentioned a company name, with which I don't have any business), despite my home phone is entered in "do-not-call" registry.

Donna (with a horrible southern accent) claimed she was from Park Dansan / Business Management Group.  Questioning her about what her type of "Business" they managed put her on the defensive and she hung up on me.

(Park Danson - Company ???/caller ID 704*671-3096) Always leaving msgs saying it's not a telemarketing call but rather an impt. bus. financial matter I have with their company.Always leaving a reference no. & asking for a return call.

After many many calls from this number I finally called them to make it stop - the woman said they are a business management company and kept asking me for the reference number. I asked what a "business management company" does, and she said just that, business management. Oh so helpful. She said she could tell by the reference number what the call was regarding. The reference # told her she was looking for Everett someone or other, someone I'd never heard of - she assured me the calls would stop. We'll see...

SO ANNOYING!!! ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT, DOESNT LEAVE ME A REFERENCE NUMBER AND WHEN I CALL BACK TO TALK TO SOMEONE THEY TELL ME ITS FOR SOME GENE THAT DOESNT EVEN LIVE HERE AND SHE ARGUED WITH ME FOR 20 MINUTES.....SHE WAS RUDE AND SAID THEY WILL TRY TO REMOVE MY NUMBER BUT WELL SEE

I recieved the same call.  If you go to INTELIUS.com or ANYWHO.com, you can look up the info on the company.  It'll tell you the owner of the line, and even thier income and property value.  Pretty cool.  If I find the number I'll post it here.  Hopefully a private number that I can call at all hours of the night.

My wife answered a call from these folks on 1-17-09.  Heard what sounded like a recorded message, but it was to garbled to understand.  Tracked them down through this website and used the suggestion from NINJARAT to email donotcall@mrsi.com asking that our number be removed from their call list.  Got the following reply:  "MRSI has received your e-mail request to be added to our company's internal do-not-call database.

Your telephone number(s) will be added to MRSI's internal 'do-not-call' database.

We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused.

Sincerely,

Director of Phone Center Operations"

We'll see if this works out, but you might want to try this approach.

I had been getting the same call ever since we got the new number. I called up and gave the reference number. They were looking for someone who I had no clue about. The lady on the phone was courteous and after I said that I did not know the person in question, said that they will take this number off their list. It wasn't bad and I hope that I do not get the call again. If you do not have to worry about a collection agency, call the number up and sort this out.

I placed my name on the national do not call data base list at least 9 months ago, for no one to call me, but they continue to call.

Always called my number, i had the phone number for only 9 months. and i register in a donotcallregistry.

I also received a card in the mail for a $50.00 Redemption Voucher with this "collection agency" number on it.

If that doesn't scream SCAM to you people who believe its just a collection agency, I don't know what would. The same number is on here: 1-800-605-9822

I'm sick of these cards.

not a call but i got a post card in the mail telling me to call  1-800-605-9822 to collect my $50.00 redemption voucher. My fiance got one in the mail the same day too.

They are a collection agency real number is 800-605-5739.  The 704-671-3096 number is in fact a fradulent number.  However, you can get to a real person by hitting "0" then leaving a message to stop calling you.  Following the directions to send the message.  Afterwards hit "*T" and enter "300" that is a man named John Luther...the owner of Park Manson Collections.

I find it weird that when people call back they say it's a call for someone else.  Is it really old accounts, a scam to collect valid numbers or the posters aren't truth that they have a collection agency calling them?

it sounds like a collection agency.  i called the 800# back, automated system identified them as park dansan.  gave them the reference number, the person said he was trying to reach the name of a person i never heard of.  told him as much, and he said "ok, we'll remove your number from the system."  there's pretty strict laws across all 50 states that collectors are supposed to abide by.  this isn't the first collection call i've received on this # and the others were similar (ask for a particular person, told wrong #, never heard from again).

Automatic message wants you to return call to 1-800-605-5739 and also expects you to take down a way too long reference#.

Called the number, gave my reference number when asked, and as a few have mentioned already, they were trying to get in touch with someone else.  They answer the phone by their business name and request the ref number they left.  She thanked me and removed me from the phone list.

Annoying yes, but I personally believe it was legit.  I think that with the no call list they'd be in a bit of trouble by now if they were making calls deemed illegal. They probably called me 20-30 times before I actually made the call.  /shrug

I had 2 messages from them. Called, & when they answered,it was Park Dansan. I explained that I had a private number & I wanted to know why they were calling. The rep. put me on hold for a minute, then came back & said the name of the person they were trying to contact. I explained I wasn't that person & asked to have the number removed. She said not a problem & apologized. Not a scam, just a collection agency contacting old phone numbers.

To Thomcat who claims this is not a scam:

The toll-free phone number listed in parkdansan.com is: 800-766-1551
The toll-fee phone number left in the message is: 800-605-5739

If this is a legitimate call from that "do not fear collection agency", why then discrapncy between the two numbers?

"If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you can be reasonably sure it is a duck."

It is a scam.

Recorded message claiming NOT to be a telemarketer. Provided reference number and advised to call 800-605-5739. Caller ID displayed "704-671-3096 Blocked Call". I did not respond.

Just received a call from them too (2nd time this week). Very weird. It has ALL the symptoms of a scam. If indeed this is a collection agency (trying to reach the wrong person), then they are doing it wrong.

Then again, what would one expect from people working for a collection agency?

It's a collection agency trying to reach someone who, at one time or another, had your number.  Just call them back with your reference number and they will stop calling you. Not a scam... a legitimate collection agency.  If its not you they are trying to reach then you have nothing to fear!

They have a web address: parkdansan.com

I'm getting the same to call 1-800-605-5739. The call comes from 704-671-3096 ("Private Name" on the caller ID). Anyone know what gives?

When I called the 800 number, I was greeted by a not overly polite woman answering the phone as "Park Danson/Dansan (sp?)". She couldn't tell me what it was about without the reference number. I thanked her, and hung up. Less than a minute later, the woman called me back, asking for a woman I've never heard of (I have had the same number for 5+ years)

A quick google on Park Dansan pulls up what seems to be a collection service?
