I did not answer the phone but called back.  I was unable to understand the woman that answered the phone - I asked her 3 times to repeat the name of the company and she put me on hold.  It sounded like something "CSI"...  I'm assuming it's someone wanting money...

Also got a call and did not answer the phone but called back. The woman answered and said "FCSI" i'm assuming someone wanting money also.

It's a collection agency

These stupid people called me @ 10:30 am on Christmas eve morning....I answered, pushed the button to speak with somone....waited...waited...and then gave the lady who answered a piece of my mind!!!!! I did nt even know the person they were looking for. It was "an attempt to collect a debt" Geez....These people never take a break!!!!! I was appalled!!

I received a call from this number and didn't answer immediately. After about five minutes of online research, I called them back and the lady who answered was black and simply said "hello," but not before she said "this is ____ _____, MY name." I responded by asking who I was speaking with and she simply said "a collection agency." riiiiight. So I told her I had read some reports about her number harassing people and she responded with "this is a collections agency." When I asked her what she was collecting, she hung up. CLEARLY a scam. I hope no one gave out any info to these people.

I got a call from these ppl on Saturday and I did give them my acct info. Now I am scared. They said if I didn't give them my info they would garnish my wages. What do I do?

Close your account ASAP!!!
Only by a  court oder can your  wages be garnished.
That was totally illegal!
Google the FDCPA and read up!!
I repeat, close your account ASAP!!

Sorry, meant to type "order"

This is Franklin Collection Service Inc.  I received a call from them stating they had tried numerous times to contact us (which is a lie).  This was the absolute 1st call we have received from them.  They then wanted us to give them a credit card number over the phone to satisfy a $32 bill from 2yrs ago.  We didn't even know there was a bill.  The business they stated sold them the acct, knows our address and has no reason to do this.  When we asked if they could mail us a bill so we could pay by check, they got irate and said they would call us every day until we paid the bill.  It sounds like a complete SCAM to me.  I'm contacting the original business 1st thing Monday morning to find out more.  I'm also lodging a complain about their practices with the BBB.

Just received a call from this number on my cell phone this afternoon. They didn't leave a message so I thought I would do some research to see if I could find anything out about this number. Glad I did and haven't and probably will not be calling them back. As far as I know don't most legit debt collectors leave messages?

Call your bank and see if they could help you or stop payment. if not close your account and open another one.

I got a call from them too.  No idea why they are calling and they refuse to leave a message.  The only way I found out about them was to look up the number and found this forum.  

What is the first thing we do when we see a number on our cell phone that we don't recognize??  We don't answer it!!  Until they leave a message concerning any debt I may have I will never answer their call...

I work for a mortgage company and we do call some to collect a debt but weather or not we leave a message is based on state regulations....but this number doesnt seem to be legit!

Couldn't understand company's name , the female caller wouldn't give me her name.  Said we owed $237 from 3yrs ago.  Wanted an account number checking. Credit card, or debit card but would not tell me what the bill was for or the orginal business was owed .  They call every day beginning at 8:00 am and again at 3:30 until 9:25 pm is the latest .  I don't answer anymore and I've noticed they change their phone number every 4-6 weeks .  This company needs to be investigated .!.!

I recently switched to a pre-paid cell phone and instantly started getting calls from this number. I've told them at least a dozen times "I am not the person you are looking for, remove me from your call list". They have not and I still get calls. I just got one (on Sat) while ago.

Isn't robo-dailing cell phones federally illegal ??? It's always a machine calling me with a "please hold" message. I've sat on hold for 15+ minutes before just to tell someone they have the wrong number.

Same happened to me. I switched to ATT, and inherited phone # with calls from 256 417 6176. The caller ID reads FCSI and it looks like they did not update their listing. Unlike Tracy, I do not want to spend my time on calling them and cleaning somebody's mess. I'll probably go to twitter and cuss them out over there :)  to let the steam out.

These people are annoying.....They cuss at you if you don't reply to thier demands... Terible customer service.

Does anyone know what they collect?

They can't garnish it but the company you owe money can depending on your state

Thanks I know exz what it is at&t for 126.
