929-999-1816

Unclear  message.

Calls and no one on the other end.

When 929-999-1816 Calls you the automated service answers and refers you to call back a toll free number of 800-824-6191 with a provided reference number, the person who used my phone number was in a completely different part of the state and I have had this number for well over 5 1/2 years. Just an fyi for anyone looking for more information

I got a call from this number that came up as "Local Office". No one there, just static.

Number on Caller ID came up as Local Office. However 929 isn't a local Area Code so I didn't bother answering. No messages were left.

They are spoofing their number. Actual company info:
First National Collection Bureau, Inc.

800.824.6191

They call numerous times per day and will not stop. Once I found out their company info I called and they were looking for someone else. I told them they had the wrong number and that is why they never got through. I told them they ever call again and I will file harassment charges.

Company called a number at the firm I work at, minute I said that they hung up. Seems like the bottom feeder debt collectors who buy an old debt for pennies and try to get tough to collect. My advice would be not to answer.

calls but never ayone on phone,not a working telephone officel  code. They call numerous times  banswer.ut I don't

Calling here now. Blocked them, but I am sure they will call again, just as the others do. And of course I have no old loans. SO tired of this.

they called, same stuff,,, background noise, nobody answers back to my hello, then they hang up.  Called them back and they identified themselves as that collection agency listed above....and asked for a Shanty Clark.  Seriously???  I don't think this is legit.  I believe it is phishing.  Nobody here by that name, had this number almost 30 years, so what does that tell you.   Be careful.

Call October 20th, 2014 from a caller name which displayed as, in all capital letters, "LOCAL OFFICE".  I picked up the phone and stated "Hello this call is recorded. Speak now or your telephone number will be permanently blocked. You have ten spoken secords to speak or you will be blocked as stated. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Your number is now blocked goodbye." after no one spoke.  I blocked the number 1-929-999-1816 using the included function of my Panasonic Cordless Telephone.
The name in all capital letters made clear that it was a scam call. the number 1 in front of the area code made clear that the call came from a computer (callspoof, etc.) and not a genuine telephone number.
I won't have to deal with that numbe again.

Despite being listed on the national Do Not Call registry, I get regular callsfrom this number. Can you help?

Just static when I answer

This is a more sophisticated version of the so-called Rachel credit scam that the FTC shut down last year.  At first they sound like a real bill collector, with some official sounding name, telling you that there is a bill you forgot to pay and it is hurting your credit score.  But if you start asking too many questions or demand proof in writing they get nervous and hang up the phone.  There are about 50 different phone numbers making these types of calls from all over the U.S., all with the caller id of "Local Office".

They keep calling and their Caller ID appears as "Local Office" all in capital.
Don't bother answering it since it is just a scam. If you do afterwards please check your telephone bills since charges may be applied to your account. If anyone comes on line trying to find out out info about you or anyone that you don't know it is only to keep you on the phone a bit longer. Again, check your phone bill for additional charges that you don't know about. It might be just a few cents or a very small amount but that's all the care about since they are doing the same thing to thousand of people and all those small charges can actually make them very rich… So if you don't know the number on your Caller ID don't answer it. If htey keep calling with out leaving any message that you are familiar with just block the number if your service or your phone allows it. Best solution don't answer the call.

Everybody start sending this letter to this company and any other unwanted callers.
A cease and desist order (C&D) is written to prohibit a person or company from continuing a particular course of action. A cease and desist may be written by a judge or judicial agency, an attorney, or by an INDIVIDUAL.  

ask them for their name and address so you can send a CEASE AND DESIST LETTER.

You can use this for all unwanted calls.

I would like to see all these people being sued.  GO FOR IT.  I AM

Just static on the line when I answered just now. We don't have caller ID, but I can dial *69 to hear a robo announcement of the most recent caller's number. This website helpful in sorting out the scams. Apparently 929 is one of the newer NYC area codes.

We receive numerous calls a day on our cell phones. It appears to be from a Credit Collection Company.

Good job tracking them down!  Looks like there is already a huge class action against them for their illegal robocalls, but that doesn't mean you can't sue them too!  Also be sure to report them to law enforcement.  The FBI and FTC might not care much about a small time operation like this, but you might get your state AG's office to take an interest.
