855-359-8506

This number calls mine house ask me to call ext0155 saying they have some informstion for me

On 6/11/12 received call from 855-359-8506. Caller id'd herself as Ms. Tillman from GC Services. Said she has a federal wage withholding order for a possible employee of this business. Gave ext# 0042. Said to reference message #534308 when calling.

A Miss Turner ("from south Florida") from this number left a message for me to call regarding a reference I gave on a for a former student, whose name I didn't recognize. I googled the number and came to this site.

this is christy call me and ask for file 54871

Got a few calls from a local number the man would not indentify his reason for calling. He wanted to speak to a family member who was not available. Would only leave a voice mail which had 855-359-8506. The family member also got a call on the mobile phone. And the caller argued with him and would not identify the reason he is calling even after the identity of the person caller was seeking was confirmed. Probably because he wanted the social security number which we never give out over the phone. Ask to be sent something through the mail but got no response from caller on that point. Sounds like a phishing scam?

I understand debt collectors must identify themselves as such.

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.>

Scab collection company.

calls & leaves no message

got a call from a Ms. Shelee saying she needed to speak to someone in the payroll department regarding a federal wage withholding.

Received call from 770-783-3438. a Lawanda Oliver, calling for another person,telling me to have him call 855-359-8506 ext 66779, a personal matter they would only reveal when he called them, Suspect a collection call, since it was a local call with name not recoginized by the caller id answered it, never in future.

"Josie Duffny" left message and a reference #.

Scab collection agency paying operators $10 per hour to harrass people.  

Caller ID shows 408-786-9612, but it's a scam: someone saying name is Chantelle Long left a cryptic message to call this number (855-359-8506) ext 013.  I found a website (argusconsumerlaw), and this number is included in a whole listing of numbers for GC Services, who has multiple lawsuits against them for harassing people and making fake debt collection claims.  My phone number and name must have been sold by T-mobile (my service provider) because I have never given the phone number out--I use a web-based phone number.

This person calls to leave message with us as an employer, which  is completely Illegal.
Debt Collectors cannot just call up your employer, there are laws in place.
GC is going to find themselves in some deep water very soon.......

My parents received a call from this number asking for a family member.  They had information (his name and address) to identify him, but they would not say why the were calling, only that they had good news for him and asked if they could leave a number for him to return the call.  The person calling said her name was Fantasia, from GC Services.  It all seemed very suspicious.

Got a cryptic message from "Fantasia" asking me to call her back at 855-359-8506

Called me from a different number, 201-297-4393, said she was Janice Blair, left this number.  Reverse lookup of number that called me indicates a different individual so fraud or other deception may be involved. I called this 855 number with no answering machine or operator tp forward calls or take messages.

Likely a debt collector for someone else (I owe no one to the degree debt collectors are calling) or to fraud me.  I used a wonderful CALL BLOCKING device.  Next communication if they are serious will and should have been registered mail.

a local number appears on caller ID which must be bogus
the caller demands to be called back today and gives a reference #
then leaves the 855 359 8506 # for call back

Received a call on my land line which is on a do not call list.  Asked to confirm my grown daughter's cell phone #.  Gave her name as GC Services ~ Simone Wright ext. #133 asking my daughter to call.

His name John King called from number 972-885-6758 he called my sister to verify my last 4 digits of my SS#
I don't know why they need my SS# ??
My sister asked who's he? he said just call him back the number 885-359-8506 ext. #0048

This woman has called my phone 3 times, the first time she called she immediately asked me to confirm my address and ssn#, I did not give her the info, I kept asking her who she was, and what she wanted, she says her name is Nicole but refused to answer anything else. She called this morning lft a msg. Saying her name is NICOLE CAPATELLI to please call her back at 855-359-8506 ext 0092,but she called from a 832 number that is strange to me. These people need to be investigated.
