Organization is using incarcerated persons to make collection calls, whether valid or not.
This should be illegal, especially when $0 is owed.

A female person with a very nasal voice called and asked for my husband by name and said she was calling about his "Federal educational file" and that he should call back 888-337-7671, ext. 2757. (Afterwards, I checked my phone by pressing *69 to get the phone number of the last caller, and it came up differently: 888-337-9835.) When I said my husband wasn't available and asked what this was about, she asked whether I was his wife, and being told so, she said the person they were looking for had the same name as my husband and was born on some date or other (not my husband's birth date). So stupidly, out of relief that they weren't looking for him, I immediately replied, "No, my husband was born on" and gave the date of his birth, which I immediately realized I should not have done. Now they have his name, phone number, possibly address (from the phone listing), and date of birth, so of course I am hoping this is not an identity-theft thing.

I was hoping to hear that phone number8883379835 and caller id Adams county of ...? was legit. They were calling several times a day each time 3 or 4 times 10 minutes apart. When I was able to answer they were looking for my husband and if i could verify his ss# they would talk to me, well I did and what do you know they had the wrong man's info with same name as my husband. Needless to say my husband was not happy that they now have his name and ss#. I'm not sure what to do, but going forward the last 4 digits of an ss# is enough verification for me.
thanks, Laura
it was converning my husband

My call was the same including the bod and the nasal voice, the only difference was that i gave them mw husbands ss# before they told they had the wrong man.

I recently got power of attorney for my mom's affairs and have gotten her SS and Medicare, etc. Since then I've received several calls from people asking for her. I just say this is not her number. The person from this number just said ok thanks. I'm sure it is phishing or trolling.

It is Van Ru Credit Corporation working for the US Dept of Education. They have a contract to collect on defaulted student loans. They are, unfortunately, legit. They have all my correct information. They can garnish your wages, take your tax return, or sue you, all legal. Best thing to do if you want to avoid all that is not answer the phone or lie and say it's not you. But, the law is on their side thanks to the government corruption that is the student loan industry.

Man you got that right. These people break every law to try to collect these debts that have fees etc. added , much like the loan sharks, except it is our government. Just do not answer the telephone, they will not sue or they already would have. If you pay anything to these criminals, you have only yourself to blame.
| Law 101 2011-06-06 21:05:25 Unknown |
IN FACT..........EVERYONE SHOULD QUIT TALKING TO OR PAYING ANY DEBT COLLECTION AGENCY..........UNTIL THE STATE LEGISLATORS AND CONGRESS PASS LAWS TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER AND CITIZEN...........THESE PEOPLE ARE CROOKS, AND THEY EVEN USE FELONS BEHIND BARS TO MAKE THE CALLS...........VERY APPROPRIATE!.............I AM GOING TO PROTEST !!!! ARE YOU WITH ME ? WE CAN CHANGE THIS NATION IF WE WORK TOGETHER.

Called me every other day for the past three weeks and leaves messages that this is an attempt to collect a debt.
I have no debts, no credit cards, however I had a bankruptcy several years ago. If this continues, I'm going to sue for harassment. They are phishing for suckers to scare. My lawyer has all the messages they have sent as proof of harassment.
I'm not going to call them back, and explain that I'm not the person that are seeking, in essence doing their job to make sure the contact info is correct.

Call 5 or 6 times a day, looking for a Kevin Amos. Called them back and told them I am on the do not call list told them if them call back again I was going to turn them into the FCC. Waiting to see what happens next.

I get about 3 calls a day from this number. I have never answered the call and they never leave a message...
| Eli 2009-12-22 02:15:25 Debt Collector |
I did not answer they did not leave any message. Thank you for your other input from Charlie and Laura I blocked them with my skype software. Could be Collection Agency with multiple numbers

Got numerous calls (dozens 3 or 4 a day) from this number. They ask for personal information. I refuse; and I tell them "I won't give out personal information over phone - send me a letter".
I think that it is a Phishing scam.
