This number was on my cell phone as a missed call. I called the number and got VERBALLY ABUSED By a fool who insisted I was someone else.  He would not tell me who he was, yet expected me to tell him my information.

Same thing happened to me

Keeps calling my phone leaves no message so the hell with them.

Got a missed call from the number, (it only rang once, I was staring at the phone), I called a back and a man answered and said Hello Tony Mar. I said "sorry, i have the wrong number)

Received 3 calls one morning, within 3 minutes.  Did not answer, only rang once each time.  Two days later rang 3 times. I called back, it rang twice, they picked up but did not respond.  

called back  they guy asked if I was who he was looking for.  I said yes then he wanted me to verify my birth date and social  told him I would not verify anything until I knew what it was about.  Told me that I should just hang up right now because he would not tell me unless i verified.  Not verifying ANYTHING for someone who would not tell what the call is pertaining too!!!!!!!!!!

Got a call from this number twice today so I called it back and it just rang no one answered.

This number keeps calling me,  but I never answer it because I have no idea who it is. They keep leaving an automated voice mail telling me that I would be charged with a felony if I don't give my response back to a client's case file and they happen to tell me that it's my sister who's the client.  First of all, I have never heard of being charged with a felony for failing to respond to something court-related so that threw a red flag and second, I thought people got "served" in court through paper. So I called my sister just to be sure she has no active lawsuits or anything, which she didn't, and she told me that this number was just a joke. DO NOT BELIEVE THE BS THIS PERSON IS TELLING YOU BECAUSE IF YOUR GUT IS TELLING YOU IT'S FISHY, YOU'RE MOST LIKELY RIGHT!!!

Idiots keep calling but never leave a message. Since I do not know the number I have blocked in on my phone. This is most likely a bottom feeder debt collector,

Received a call from this number today, no voicemail. Sorry - I don't know you!

One of just MANY numbers used by Halsted Financial Services, this one a clone / redirect so that it appears to be coming from my own city.

Same thing ... rude man and he has called my number several times.   He asks for "Beatrice"?  Is this the same name/inquiry everyone else is getting?   He said he his name was Arthur and he was with Hauser Financial, which is not correct (I've call Hauser and they are in Iowa only).

Know your rights and their limitations. Under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act:
§ 806. Harassment or abuse
A debt collector may not engage in any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section:
(1) The use or threat of use of violence or other criminal means to harm the physical person, reputation, or property of any person.
(2) The use of obscene or profane language or language the natural consequence of which is to abuse the hearer or reader.
(3) The publication of a list of consumers who allegedly refuse to pay debts, except to a consumer reporting agency or to persons meeting the requirements of section 603(f) or 604(3)1 of this Act.
(4) The advertisement for sale of any debt to coerce payment of the debt. (5) Causing a telephone to ring or engaging any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with intent to annoy, abuse, or harass any person at the called number. (6) Except as provided in section 804, the placement of telephone calls without meaningful disclosure of the caller’s identity.
§ 807. False or misleading representations
A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section:
(1) The false representation or implication that the debt collector is vouched for, bonded by, or affiliated with the United States or any State, including the use of any badge, uniform, or facsimile thereof.
(2) The false representation of—
(A) the character, amount, or legal status of any debt; or
(B) any services rendered or compensation which may be lawfully received by any debt collector for the collection of a debt.
(3) The false representation or implication that any individual is an attorney or that any communication is from an attorney.
(4) The representation or implication that nonpayment of any debt will result in the arrest or imprisonment of any person or the seizure, garnishment, attachment, or sale of any property or wages of any person unless such action is lawful and the debt collector or creditor intends to take such action.
(5) The threat to take any action that cannot legally be taken or that is not intended to be taken.

This is one of several spoofed numbers used by Halsted Financial Services, a bottom-feeding, debt acquiring Collections Agency that skims along the bottom of the sewerage pit to find unpaid outstanding debt that has fallen off of one's credit report due to age, and purchase it from the last agency to have owned it. Then they come at you from 10 different numbers pushing the l limit of the law by strongarming and intimidating the people they are trying to collect from. They can't threaten you. Look up the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and hold them to it.

this is a scam. I called them back and they tried to tell me  that i owed on a debt that i had already paid for and have reciept for. NEVER CONFIRM YOUR IDENTITY WITH THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF YOUR SOCIAL. The best thing I did while getting out of debt was getting an attorney

Called from this number left a voicemail about some file being sent to Houston for a client. No clue what it's about, but definitely a scam call.

Robo-dial debt collector calling for someone not at my number.  I stayed on the line in an attempt to ask them to remove the number but it went to a mailbox, which was full.

Number has called several times. Each time I've called back recording says number not accepting calls at this time. Will leave an empty voicemail as well.

One has to wonder why an allegedly “legitimate” business would need so many phone numbers to call people.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
