877-788-1070

Turned out to be a collection agency for something that had nothing to do with me.Left the number on my answering machine and stated that "Before I approve your application, I need to ask you a few questions". Application for what? Cheap collection agency tactic.

Called for my roommate and said they'd talk to his spouse if I was it. Nice, I'm sure he wants everyone knowing his business apparently they don't realize there are sites like this. Also he told me about these a**holes calling before anyways, he already paid the lousy $46 hospital bill (has copy of check) just needs to get a bank statement showing that it's their mistake. They demanded he give them a soc. sec. number over the phone, he repeatedly told them no. What the heck do they need that for a bill thats less than $50 anyways.

Received repeated harrassing calls from 1-877-788-1070 who stated they were BCR Collections Company.  I told them to send anything they had in the mail and itemized with whomever I am supposed to owe money to.  I pay my bills in full and also pay co-pay for Doctors bills at time of service.  These calls come to my home phone & cell phone several times a day.  A woman asks for me, I say yes, then a gentleman is put on the line to harrass me.  On my cell phone this number shows up:  504-667-5152.  Yet I do not receive anything from BCR Collections in the mail.  What is up with this company.  Are they legitimate????

A collector called me today from 877-788-1070 x 4037
He said it was a business proposal. Please do not fall for any of these types of calls.

PAYING FULL AMOUNT

No one there, then they hang up. Caller ID "name" is BCR 1877881070 "number" is 202-607-2731

Recently, I have been getting calls from this number every few days. They are a collection agency. BCR (Bureau of Collections Recovery) The call is made with a Robo-dialer, and pre-recorded voice. Sometimes the auto-dialer will not play the message unless you say something first in a rather loud voice ... like you might the second or third time you say "Hello" when nobody replies. It asks that you call this number - 877-788-1070.

I had a run-in with this place about a year ago. Then it was a real person on the phone, but might as well have been a recording. They were calling in an attempt to collect a debt for AT&T. I would explain that I didn't have any debts that were unpaid, or that I was behind on. And that I did not now, nor had I ever, done any business with AT&T. My phone service is through a local co-op. My cell phone is also through the co-op, so I have no (direct) business with AT&T. When I explained this to them, they would ask for the last 4 digits of my social security number, and if I gave it to them, they would often immediately hang up. At first, I thought that would be enough to stop the calls, but it wasn't. After many calls, I would refuse to give them any information (because they would hang up on me) until I could talk to their supervisor. The initial call would always be made by a female, but a male would come to the phone when I would demand to speak to their boss. Where the female would simply hang up on me when I gave them the information they needed to verify that I was not the person they wanted, the male voice that came to the phone would just get smart with me, and make insults insinuating that I was lying. Once, I received a call where I was asked to wait while another male voice came on the line. I asked this person where he got my phone number. He asked me, Why, are you hiding from someone?" I told him that,"No, I wasn't hiding from someone ... where did you get my phone number?" But he would not give me an answer to that, I kept repeating that question, and eventually, he hung up on me.

At one point I was told that I owed AT&T $1800.00. A few days later, I was told $1900.00! Not only have I never done any business with AT&T, I have never been late on a phone bill!

Obviously, I did manage to find out that they were calling for AT&T, in an attempt to collect a debt for them. In the end, I had to report AT&T to the FCC. It wasn't long after I did, I got a call (and a letter) from someone at AT&T (not BCR). Once the AT&T person verified that I was the wrong person, they agreed to stop BCR from harassing me (if I would agree to bring my FCC complaint to a closure). After that, I didn't get anymore calls from this place until recently. And now I am getting the robo-calls.

If it keeps up, I am going to file another complaint with the FCC. Trust me when I say this ... it doesn't do any good to call BCR. I tried that many, many times. Also, they have a web sight which shows what is supposed to be a link to one of their management personnel, but it is a fake link (not hypertext, just a picture of typed words) ... clicking on it does nothing. Here are the phone numbers that would appear on my caller ID when they would call me ...

If you are being wrongly accused of owing a debt to AT&T, (verify this first) and are being harassed by this bunch, then don't waste your time with them - it won't do you any good. And don't bother calling the Better Business Bureau (BBB). I did, and I did not get a reply from them until the matter had already been cleared up by the FCC. In the reply that BBB sent me, they stated that they had decided in favor of BCR??? What a joke! Save yourself some time and file a complaint with the FCC against AT&T. You can google "FCC" and get their web site, where you will find a place to file your complaint.

I am receiving call from BCR time to time and today there was a voice mail left asking to call and when i did, saying that i received a call from BCR and a message left asking to call but there no name specified, so i am calling about it  and the lady i was talking said to stay in line and then she hung up.

Never leaves a message.  Tells me it's fradulent.  Dont intend to answer when it calls.

Got call for someone who used to live at this address, caller asked if that person could be reached, my husband answered yes, caller gave this 877 788 1070 number, and the caller was barely audible because she was obviously Indian, from India. When asked what the call was in reference to, she answered "it's personal." and when asked her name, "Jennifer Smith"!  Now that's the most generic most popular first, and last name in the USA!  From India!
We both thought it sounded very fishy... and the person who had moved had received harassing phone calls from some phony collection agency, at our phone number about 4 months ago. Therefore I looked the number up here... and sure enough its no "Jennifer Smith" it's an attempt at running a scam.
If you are wondering why they need your soc. sec.#, or any of the other personal questions they request my opinion is that they are attempting to get into your identity for identity theft... directly... the've got one piece of the puzzel: a phone number... now they want more!  I PRAY for their souls. May they all be saved in the Mercy of Christ, including "Jennifer Smith"!!

yesterday afternoon they called from this number.  apparently they had called before and left no message.  the caller id said they were calling from 202 607 2744 and up over top of it where the name shows up  on the caller id it said bcr 877 788 1070.  i said hello 3 times and then someone sounding like from India whom i could hardly understand asked to speak to "a judge"  and then other things unintelligible.  He asked over and over for "a judge"  i kept telling my that there were no judges here. then he said did i dial and read me my phone number very slowly and asked if he dialed that number.  i said yes and you got the wrong number.  he said he will take it off his list.  from posts i already read we'll see.

Thank you for this is knowledge.However as they have called my wife and I on numerous times I we have offered no information, I am thankful to have read the posting that I have today. This scam or whatever they are called last night and wanted my wife and I told they no when they didn't want to say what the call was in reference to, therefore do not patronage these jackfools. Identity theft happens every 3 sec. so don't let it happen to you.

Stop Calls

Some stupid collection agency calling the WRONG NUMBER again... asking for someone we do not know. Sick and tired of this crap all the time. Stop calling, over and over again, when you have been told over and over again.... NO SUCH PERSON AT THIS NUMBER. Asshatclowns!!

Received a call from this number, called them back and they told me they were looking for someone named Eric something or other.  I told them I didn't know anyone by that name and they apologized and removed my number.

Debt collector called BCR with caller ID 18777781070 calling from 202-607-2749 looking for a somebody who does not reside at my address.

Keep getting calls for a Moktar Sherrif (no kidding) I have politley and sometimes rudely asked them to stop calling me I am not this person nor have i ever been this person.
I get hung up on multiple times. Then i call back get to a supervisor and ask the same thing, they want my info, which i will not give.
Since reading here i think i will report them to the FCC
