We moved in recently and have new phone service. We have other service, so the ringer is turned off on the phone line being abused. It is now getting robocalls every couple of day, Incoming number is 866 276 2679. Since we don't use that phone the calls go to voicemail. The message identifies them as Global Credit and Collection Corp. They are asking to speak to a person, completely unrelated, who apparently used to live at this address but with a totally different phone number.

That's right, they did not get us by name or by phone number. There is no reason for a stranger to call here except by the address, so it seems the phone company gave them our number for a previous inhabitant of this building, who we never met, and would even not know about except for names on unforwarded mail that used to pile up outside before I complained to USPS!

The message wanted a call back to 855 288 1447. Googled and apparently they also dial out on that second number.

Our phone is on the federal do not call list, and yes it is very illegal for them to call us. If I care enough at some point I will contact the state attorney general, which I advise for anybody who wonders if they have recourse. Yes, you do.

same here

all I can say they must take A$$hole training to conduct themselves the way they do on the phone.

Unfortunately I was close enough to reach the phone to answer it today. I am crippled. It sounded like a collection agency of some kind but I wasn't sure. They said they had tried to reach me numerous times and if I didn't return the call there would be repercussions. I called wondering all the time why, if it was legit,and I didn't answer on previous occasions, they didn't leave a message  on my answering machine. A machine answered and I chose to speak to someone, which resulted in me listening to 'canned 'music. It is probably a scam to scare elderly people out of money.

We suffered the same as above complaints. The calls sound so threatening and scary.
About 2 per day.
My son had a couple of friends stay at our place for a couple of months.
They both could not afford their apartments any more. They both had allot of TV and internet cable equipment from their past addresses and still had contracts to fulfill.
They are gone now but their presents still haunts us.
These collection people are a rare breed with no scruples of how they present themselves.
My wife wonders how poor elderly people would react with these scare tactics they use.

I received several calls for somebody else from this number.  
When I called back, I found out that it was a collection agency called Global Credit & Collection.  
I found there website ( http://www.globalcollection.net/Consumers.aspx ) and contacted their main number.  They told me that they would remove my phone number from their files, and they did.

Received a call from an unknown #. Stupidly, I answer:

Me - "Hello?"
Caller - "Is ______ there"
This is him.
This is ______?
Yes.
This is ??? Rodriguez, I am calling from Global blah blah blah on behalf of Royal Bank Visa.
I'm sorry but I spoke to them about this matter last week, I am unemployed and cannot afford anything let alone these payments.
Well have you even looked for work?
Excuse me?
Have you looked for a job?
ok.... No, I figured I would just sit on my @$$ and starve to death.
You can't take that tone with me.
Excuse me??? You know what, this is BS. F#$& off.

Hang up.

30 seconds later they call back and I don't answer knowing its them again. She leaves a message personally, not just some prerecorded crap.

This is Mrs Rodriguez again, you just hung up on me. That will not be tolerated. Call me, or get your lawyer to call me, because you are going to need one.... Blah blah blah. You can reach me at 8662762679.

How am I going to need a lawyer? Quite simply, if I can't afford to pay Visa back, I don't until I can afford to give them some $. But I will not give a penny to this or any collection agency.

Not to worry people - I got the same call this week - just hang up - its nothing to worry about.  If they keep calling I'm sure there something we can do.

This number is calling me two to three times per day.
When I blocked my number and called back a guy said the company was called "Global" and needed to know what my number was to "take me off of their list".
I don't have any debts and this is a new phone number.

Sorry I would have to change my number...

Same message as above, his "Sal" character leaves a threatening automated message. Just called my telephone service provider to block this number from calling me again. The representative did a bit of investigating and said I would change my number... incredibly annoying...

Getting calls, sometimes 2 times a day left on my recorder. I spoke to a live person 3 times. One caller refused to identify who she was when I asked.  One caller reluctanly said he was from Global.  He was very rude & harassing.  He was trying to reach my daughter who does not live with me and I refused to give him her number and asked my number to be removed from their system.  He said he could continue to harass us because we were blood relatives and refused to transfer to his superior, he then hung up.  I have reported to FTC.GOV but I think they go by volume of complaints not individual.

I DO NOT WANT THESE PEOPLE CALLING ANY MORE!!!!!

Just got a call from them 1866 276 2679 ext 6058 ask for Rosa.I called to tell them never to call my number or I will commence legal action against them.Its a collection agency of some kind.
Scumbags con men.

yes i have had the same issues with this company they call all the time ..he says his name is sal and it is automated ,he asks that you call back within 48 hrs.. and if you dont that the matter will escalate .. , has anyone had actually talked to him ?

This number belongs to the scum bags at Global Collection Agency.  BEWARE!!

I got one similar, only it was an 'urgent matter' that has reached his office and that it could be escalated. He makes it sound like a court case, but it also sounds like an automated message of somesort too.

We have recieed several harassing phone calls about people with the same last name that is not related to us. She refused to let me speak to a supervisor. And called me a "child" and hung up on me.

I had a call from "Global" with the same jargon about "48 hours"

This fool calls and says he has 48 hrs to open a case? like hes some investigator a regular yuppie guru ta tic to scar you!

We got a call at work from this number where the guy said it was "urgent" we contact them within 48 hrs.... didn't explain who he was or what it was about and this is a business they called!!!!  He sounded like he would be a rude jerk if you spoke with him!!!
