855-439-1569

I'm receiving unwanted and unsolicited calls from this number.  They state I have a defaulted account with US BANK (an untruth) and want me to give them my SSN!

The truth is I have no defaulted accounts with any company or individual.  

This is a phishing call.  

Scammers.  They asked me to verify my SSN by giving it to them!  Sure, no problem I'd be glad to.  Want my DOB too?

Same as Richard. it was a dead line

Got 2 calls from this number, No voice mail.

The called me in spite of being on the Do No Call List. I didn't answer and they didn't leave a message. I blocked the number immediately as spam.

Scammer! Just called today & heard stupid sound stated L & G?? I could hear my voice from my phone during call as well!?

The caller that left a message said her name was marcella and that she was a skip tracer working for select resource group she left her number which was this 8554391569

this number called me. but was unable to answer and after reading the above post I sure glad of it....

This is a definite scam - don't answer and block them, and this is awful because they have a lot of your personal info, and I am going to find out how they did that.

(855) 439-1569. Had multiple calls for someone who's never had my phone number I know this as I've had the number since the week they changed our prefix YEARS ago. Certain this is the case with this one.

Same number as below call me left no vm
Called back asked wbo calling they said skip and trace phone dropped calll they didnt vall back did phone trace and this is results Scam!
Will block and report....jahaha caught

Got a call from this number and luckily didn't get to phone in time.
But I certainly don't have any outstanding debts. If they're calling me
it's a scam.

How do you know they have any of your info?    Did they tell you any part of your social?    or just ask for it?

They knew my name and then hung up on me...... I'm not sure how that other guy knows but that's my personal experience

They called me and when I picked up no one would answer back so I called the number a female responded said they were looking for me and stated my name I said what did they want but did not admit that I was the person they were looking for and they hung up on me definitely very shady

Called me and stated they were from an online payday loan place called My Payday (never been there) stated that I must have filled out paperwork with them at some time and they have a clause in the fine print that if you don't use there loan they can charge  you a 500 dollar fee and they turn it over to collection to get paid.  I stated to send me something certified mail and I would let the Attorney General handle it.  She stated that they do not have to do that and they sent something in the mail (they did not).  She wanted nothing to do with the US mail because they act very quickly in mail fraud cases.  Needless to say don't answer if they call you!  She stated she was with FRG

They called me gave me the last 4 on social and said I had a bill past due for Sprint funny how I have never had their service they are scammers and not a convincing one either.

Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.
The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.
The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.
The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.
Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

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 the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
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. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.
Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.
Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

I have been receiving calls from 855-439-1569 as well as from a 920-545-1154 claiming to be from a collection firm along with a case number saying I defaulted on a payment to a creditor named as CMG on  a  US Bank checking account dating back to 2011.  I have never heard of this creditor .   I asked for the phone number, address etc. of CMG but they told me they don't have that information and I needed to contact my bank to get this information as they are just a collection agency.  

They called my office - asked for Mr or Mrs - didn't even know who they were calling - said it was someone we were affiliated with and she needs to discuss what is going on with this affiliation immediately and also asked for cell phone numbers - really?  I guess some offices would give that out....but really???????? Lady was ms Moltrie and to call 877 574 4241
