866-307-2679

Called at 3:45pm on 12/16/15,  and left a message that started off saying only to listen to the call if you were the named person, but the computer was very hard to understand for the name.  It said they had a claim and started to give a claim number, but the call was cut off.

Got the same call but someone came on the phone and was trying to get me to verify my social security number before she would tell me who was trying to collect a debt! I do t have any debts and nor would i give her my social!!!! Scammers beware people!

Got the same call I believe this is a scam saying I owe sumn I never had said there going to take me to court

Same call. They were very rude and said about taking legal action for something I owe even though I have no idea what they're talking about.

They just called me asked for my ss number I asked why got mad said I had debit told me they were gonna take me to court I laughed told them go ahead and that they  gotta find me first I don't ever anwser the door at home so good luck and they hung up on me

I got this call from this number and they are threating me what can I do are they a scam.

Got a call from 866-307-2679, witH an account number, it was all automated and sounded illegitimate! I am on the National "do not call" list so they are in violation! I should take them to court, if this is a waste of time and my privacy!

I wish you would they are calling my work.

They left me a message on my cell phone and one on my Mom's phone and I don't live with her!! I called back, they clam I own a debt from a pay day loan when I ask them the send me the information in writting they became nasty and yelled at me!! They hung up!!! It's a scam, I never took a pay day loan out!!

This number 1-866-307-2679 is calling asking for my daughter. When I called back with a claim number. I pretended to be my daughter. The rep needed a ssn before they would tell you the nature of the call. Has scam all over it.

Received a message saying I needed to call concerning a file. Called my brother as well, demanding money for a debt that doesn't exist.

Calling for someone who is using my cell number as their own.  I have asked over 15 times for them to stop calling me and when I ask what company it is, the person hangs up on me.  I have called back on multiple occasions and I am told Legal Dept.  Today, I got "stark recovery legal dept"

They called my brother asking for me.  I called the number, a woman answered immediately but with just a hello.  I said "I believe you called me."  She said "hold on", there was silence and then she said she was from Stark Recovery and she was calling about a pending litigation on me for a defaulted pay day loan in 2012.  I tried to question her on why this is the first I have heard anything on this "supposed loan default" in 3 years, that I recall no such loan and have never received any mail, email or calls on it before.  She refused to answer my questions but read my SS# to me and Told me "I cannot give you anything in writing that I haven't already said to you.  You have two options:  pay me $550 NOW and we will stop the legal action or face litigation and fines of $2,500 if u don't."  I questioned her more and told her if this were legit, I would have things in writing or she could provide it to me. She got nasty and told me they would proceed with the litigation and hung up on me.  When I tried to call back numerous times, no one answers.

When in doubt file an FTC complaint. I took a I'll collector to court a couple years ago and that company settled out of court a few weeks before the court date. I filed in US District Court.

The same thing happened to me only I fell for it only being 22 and not knowing what to do except not wanting to be sued for something I didn't do. They even had my banking info. I paid them only $200 so far, what should I do?!? I cleaned out my acct just in case. Should I close my acct call a lawyer???

This is a scam.  The supposedly collection agency is a fraud.  The real Stark Collection Agency has a disclaimer regarding this scam: http://hestark.com/   They also include links to report this scamming operation.

If you used your BC or a CC, file fraud asap! See the post by Ran Below also. Neither phone,fax,text or email are valid proof of a debt owed.

this number 866-307-2679 is in cahoots with 866-689-4426. they called my neice about a payday loan she never took out. when I called the 689 number the person just said hello and I said I had the wrong number and they said ok. so it sounds like if they have your number they know how to answer.
