They called and I talked with a luis, he said I owed 3500 on a credit card, of course not true

Don't answer!!!!  Portfolio Recovery Services!!!!!  Don't answer!!!!!

Dis not leave message

These ppl keep calling SEVERAL times daily asking for student loans, old bills, credit cards, warranty...foreign sounding and unable to pronounce my real name correctly. Call comes Georgia and California. Had 4 today since 11 A.M. It's now 1:30 P.M. They even called for old IRS payment. I've never had to pay.

1st call today don't know who they are

Calls same time everyday and never leaves a message! Call from many different numbers.

They've been calling for several months, 6-7 days/week. One call in the morning and the other one in the afternoon.My advice: DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE! SCAMMERS!

Started Calling today I did not answer

Othes are correct. Scammer. Block the SOB.

Trying to collect on a credit card that I have never had.  Hung up when I told them to send me copies of everything related to this "debt".

Don't answer low life debt collectors. Use multiple numbers and always call at same time of day.

I even changed my number cause of scam callers.. how the hell did they find me again?!

>> how the hell did they find me again?  <<

If you ever posted your phone number on a social site, or used it when ordering online, or typed it in an insecure computer, or gave it to a friend whose computer was attacked, or filled out an entry form at a fair or a supermarket, or used it on a contest entry form, or put it on a postcard for a magazine or purchase, or were among those whose information was hacked from some organization, or obtained a "new" phone number ... your number is probably known to the scammers.

Allow me to present another possibility in a very simple fashion ... not to insult your intelligence, but to attempt to get the idea across to even those who have difficulty understanding more complicated answers.  Click on the "Info" line, below, to learn about that possibility.


There, now you know all about how spammers can dial YOUR phone number, even if it is unlisted, and even if only relatives know it, and even if it is on or off the DNC list.

I hope that helps prove the DNC list DOES work!  It helps prevent calls from registered / legitimate telemarketers, but it is not able to stop calls from telespammers.  It is also NOT designed to stop political callers (who usually get the numbers from voter registration lists), calls from charities, or some other companies, such as debt collectors; or some companies with which you have done business in the last 18 months.

Here are two pages of links to (mostly government) sites in Canada and the USA were you can report phone scams, or learn more about them.
* First, look elsewhere on this site for an Article, entitled "Where to Report Phone Crime".  (It may appear in the column to your right).

Thanks Danny! I can't stand Portfolio Recovery Services! They must of got some more numbers to harrass us with. Time barred means nothing to them.

SOB calls me on a debt that's 15 yrs old and was dismissed in a bankruptcy...I guess the law means nothing to these low life POS

Didn't answer.  Usually out-of-state numbers are scammers if don't leave message.  I block them and they just use another number.  How they can used unassigned numbers is beyond me.

They called looking for my husband, would not tell me anything except it was personal

Calls same time everyday and never leaves a message! Call from many different numbers.
