877-497-9662

Claim to have gotten our number as a "reference"... not a chance.   Do not ever give out any information they were looking for someone who lived here 2 years ago!

These people called my phone several times looking for the wrong person. The calls have lasted well over 6 months. Their looking for a person by the name of Jose with a claim number CV5828814. I said several times "WRONG NUMBER" but they keep calling back. I'm filing a complaint now. I spoke with the people at the number left on my voice mail 877-497-9662, they couldn't give me any information. Very shady! The name of the answering service I was told is called Corporate Suites. The guy wouldn't give the address or the direct line number. He said the company he's answering for is called "CRG" I asked for their number he said he didn't nor did he have the address. Total BS! It feels like they're are playing on my phone

I also got a call from this number but the weird part is they called a relative don't I don't even have their numbers or address how is it that they are getting this information an I called and want me to verify my information well no cause that sounds fishy

They keep harassing my uncle and I don't even know who it is that's doing it. I have no idea how they would get a family members number and keep harassing lookin for me.

Received a call from "Rebecca Myers" from this company (877-497-9662) for Caroline Ann Anderson with the following message left on my voice mail:  "This is Rebecca Myers calling for Caroline, case number 60866-14 regarding a compliant being filed against you.  I need to confirm your home or business address.  This is your only time to respond to the complaint against you.  Caroline Ann Anderson, you have officially been notified."  As others have said, I called back to inform this as a wrong number.  Individual answering the phone claims he just works for an answering service and the "Filing Department" was who had called.  Was transferred to the office of "Brett" who said he would note it was a wrong number and decease further communication.  Truly wondering what this hoax is about.

Same message as above. Call the number they are an answering service.

Same thing is happening to my husband. They called his brother and mother saying they have officially been notified. They say they are CRG and its referring to a complaint. Very annoying!!!

My dad has an prepaid contract phone but was contacted by someone saying they were CRG looking to collect a debt from me. I called back and was told they need to debt to be settled immediately and that a Summons had already been issued, If I paid the loan at a discounted rate (30%) she would cancel the summons and remove it from my credit report.If i didnt not, they would take me to court, file a judgement against me, and garnish my wages. She also said all documentation would have to be done through email and they could send nothing to me through standard mail.  Im unsure how to proceed. Is this number a scam or are these legitimate debt collectors?

Scam.  Your callers have violated multiple debt collection laws (disclosing the alleged reason for the call to your father, lying about a court summons already issued and then saying you can stop the summons by paying money).

Per the FDCPA, you should not pay any caller who refuses to MAIL - do not accept email/fax/phone - proof of debt and proof they have the legal right to collect said debt.  Refusal to mail this documentation within five days of their initial contact with you is another violation of federal law and you should not pay them!

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.

Ditto on all the above comments. Just another scam!

That's the call we got......for someone we don't know.  Had a file number and everything.  I didn't call them back.

Don't call them back. It's a scam. They can't do anything to you. For one, they can't demand anything through an email. If they were a reputable company, they'd send notification through the US mail.
