There  is a recorded message that says it is a tracking service and needs to know my whereabouts. I have called back twice and they say there is a claim against me but won't tell me until I give them more information about myself, address etc. I refuse and say I need more information. They say they will remove my name from the calling list but never do.

There  is a recorded message that says it is a tracking service and needs to know (someones) whereabouts. I have called back since they said if it's not (?) call back anyway.  I wasn't the person they wanted so he wouldn't give any information but wanted me to relay the message to that person.  I told him I already looked the number and told him it was a scam and said do you believe everything you read on the web I said yes when people are getting the same phone call.  He said can you relay the message ask what it was in regards to he said he couldn't give it to me it was against the law. He said relay the message and stop wasting my time.  Well don't call my number again and I will not relay your message and your number is blocked so even if you call from another number it will block it............Two people can play this game I'm just smarter when I know that person has no outstanding bills......

They are a scam agency. They claim you took a "Payday" loan and never paid it back. So if you ever visited a payday loan site and asked some questions they will call you harassing you. Believe me, its a scam. The FBI is aware of these people. Whatever you do, do not confirm your social security number. Do not confirm the last 4 of your SSN#. Tell them to mail a "Validation Letter" then hang up.

What do you do if I did state the last 4of the SS?

They called harassing my family saying there was a claim against me. I tried calling it back but there was no answer.

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 of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Just received a voice mail. Said they were tracking me and that if I didn't respond they have the right under federal law to contact family members/other people about me. I am not a lawyer but I think I am glad they said that in a voice mail. I have no outstanding/unpaid debts but I have used a few pay day loans in the past so it might be what a few people have said on here. Thinking I might call back after work and talk to them with a digital voice recorder. Texas allows me to do that as long as one party agrees and that would be me! Wonder how long they will talk when I tell them I am recording?

Yes tell them to mail you the info which is required within 5 days of the phone call by law. They will not mail you and will say they will send it via email then hang up on you. They also use another number 877-310-6091. They will tell you the last 4 digits of your social and bank account. Dont get scared into paying it. Its a scam!

I received an automated phone call from this number today stating that they needed to know my whereabout and would be calling references. Today is the second time in one week that I am getting strange phone calls from sources I don't know but that seem fake.

I keep getting call from them to and also they called my boyfriend.  Thanks for all the information

They called my boyfriends number and his step dads number saying they are trying to locate my whereabouts

Receiving strange recorded messages last three days from this Trac n Search looking for someone I don't know but claiming that Federal law allows them to call contacts and whether or not I have any info call them back. No I wont call them back and reported them to dont call registry. Glad got more info hete. These people are annoying. Recording is loud and woman is shouting. Definitely scam artist. Too bad for that individual.

Keeps sending text to my brother about my other brother owning them. Other brother says an automated  voice answers and hangs up on him when he tries to get on no call list.

Today I was threatened with arrest and family members harassed on a debt discharged in a bankruptcy over 10 years ago. Highly illegal.

Got the same call from them saying I owe from 2007 payday loan, told them I talked with my lawyer and they said it's past statue of limitations even if it was s default. They told me fine they would just report it to the credit reports, which I don't know if they can.

SOL has to do with the amount of time that they can sue you, not the amount of time they have to collect unless you live in Wisconsin or Mississippi.  If the loan was defaulted on in 2007, then they cannot report it to the credit bureau.  If they do, then you have an FDCPA and an FCRA case.

I Received a threatening voicemail stating I owed a bill.
There were several problems.  1st it was under a name I have not used since 2009.
2nd, claimed the bill was incurred in a state different then where I lived in 2009.
3rd claimed it was an unpaid internet payday loan (I have never had an internet payday loan).
 Had information about where I lived and worked 10 years ago.  I asked for
the debt to be mailed to me and they refused to communicate with me in any other fashion then
email (which I refused to give them).  When I would not agree to pay them any funds they
began to call members of my family.  I blocked the number but the following day they called
me and left another threatening message saying they intended to call all my references and
relatives.  I blocked this number and later that same day they called me again.  I
received notice from family members that they also had received intimidating phone calls
demanding to know my whereabouts and other information.  When they called later on the
second day for the third time I told them that until they could provide me through the
USPS the bill I would not pay them.  The gentlemen tried to to convince me that I would
have received that document already so they were not obligated to send it again.
I told them to stop the phone calls and asked for an address to mail them in writing
the cease and desist order.  He refused to give me an address instead stated he would
put my file down as disputed.  I have notified my bank.  I have also filed complaints with my state attorney general, the FTC and consumer protection.  These people are crooks and need to be shut down!

This is a particularly nasty group.  The BBB gives them an F rating and has an alert out on them.  Here's the link:

Thanks for the update.  I triple dog dare these clowns to call me.
