I keep getting calls from this number for my adult, married daughter. She has not lived with me for at least 7 years. Their recording says if you are not this person, please hang up, but they continue to call. So annoying.

8668827666 got ahold of my cell number and they do not stopp badgering - as in calling - but when you finally pick up to tell them to cease and desist, they hang up!

We have received several times a month calls from this number. They urge us to pay an At&T debt that we don't have.

Who keeps calling me from this number?! I don't know any company that could have my number. I don't give my number to any toll free companies.

My husband answered a call from 866-882-7666, apparently Bay City Credit . We've been receiving these calls for the last few weeks and never answered them. He said the caller had a strong Indian accent and he could hardly understand him. He referred to my husband by his initials and not his full name (which At&t knows) and was told that we owe $240 to At&t which I know we do not. Our account has always been current. He told my husband that if we don't pay, we will be turned over to the collection dept. My husband hung up on him. I called At&t and spoke to the billing dept. and was told our bill is current. I told the At&t rep about this call and was informed that if anyone receives such a call DO NOT give them any information. At&t will call a customer if a bill is unpaid.
This is a SCAM

I just got a call from them and since I didnt recognize the number, I didn't answer it. I always like to google numbers that i don't know in case they are companys or restaurants or people that I've called in the past and have just forgotten about. So i just googled the number the found this site. I really hope that they don't continue to call but i have NO idea how they've gotten this number.

I just called the number and they told me they were calling for someone I had never even heard of. I told them to take my number of their list and the guy got all huffy and revealed that it was "his" company and that he would take me off their list.  It's probably a couple of people or maybe a family. We will see if I am indeed taken off the call list. If you use language such as "I will report you" they likely will get scared off if it's a small operation.

9-28-13 3:30pm  Just got a call from an Indian sounding guy saying I owed $298.70 for AT&T something didn't sound right so I called AT&T on the other line and they said I had a 0 balance. Very rude individual wanted my account info. number he called from was 866 882-7666. AT&T gave me a number to call Monday morning to report. DO NOT GIVE THESE GUYS ANY INFORMATION (per AT&T)

Just received a call this evening from Bay Area Credit calling about an AT&T bill that I supposedly defaulted on in July. Problem is, I don't have AT&T...and haven't for years and when I cancelled the service, my bill was paid in full. Difficult to understand service rep rapid-fired off an address and then a phone number that my name is supposedly attached to - I said sorry, it wasn't me and perhaps they should check their records a bit better.

I have received harassing calls from this company for over a week. At first the call was from Pacific Card Services and then the calls came from Bay Area Card Services. I was asked for credit card payment information but the caller was not willing to verify my account information, nor was I asked for any account security credentials. I hung up on them but I continue to get these calls.

*Disclaimer: This is not to be taken as legal advice and I'm not an attorney*.

What I do have is first hand experience and knowledge of these deceptive tactics from dealing with these types of organizations. I received a call from (866) 882-7666 and when I answered the phone, from my Pinger account on my iPhone, there was no one on the other end; this tells me they're using a robo-dialer. The software makes calls to a list of numbers, entered into the robo-dialer, and when some one answers the phone it rings the agent on the other end to notify them they have a live call. That's why there's a delay on the other side.

The robo-dialer can be programmed to hang up if they get a voicemail, or leave an automated message. Bay Area collections has to follow the Federal Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA), if they violate this they can be held accountable by law.

If you feel like you're being harassed by a collection agency you need to report them immediately. Also when they say this call will be recorded for quality assurance and training purposes you can prohibit them from doing so by declining to be recorded.. Under FDCPA regulations you have to give them permission. I'd advise you to get a recording device of your own, if you allow them to record you, and tell them you'll also be recording the call. They will have to also give you permission to record them. The shady or otherwise deceptive collection agencies that try and cut corners will deny you access to record them and the call will most likely be terminated on their end. I hope this helps you from being taken advantage of or threatened to give any money to these sharks circling your money.

To learn more about this law that protects you from collectors go to http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf thanks for sharing all of your concerns about the phone number: (866) 882-7666 and their hardcore tactics.

I wish all of you Happy Holidays and a safe New Year. Please keep the children and families in CT in your thoughts as we all try and heal from the physical, emotional, and psychological damage done to these families. The ripple effect is felt nationwide. Godspeed!

They called my cell phone, but could not possibly know who I am, since it is a "prepaid" phone with a number that I do not give out. I've had the number for two years. In addition, it's in a distant area code.

These people called posing as a collection agency saying (quite falsely) I owed $26 to AT&T. As you should with anyone saying they are a collection agency, I told them to mail me any documentation regarding this account and that I will not speak to them until I see it. Yet they continue to call.

I'm getting a call from this number to my cell phone several times a week.  I called it back one day and it's some kind of collection agency.  I don't know for who and I know I don't currently have anything in collections and I've never given out my cell number because it's a company phone.
