Who is calling me?

I just got a call from the same number. I answered it said hello and whatnot and a good three to five seconds passed and it hung up

This is definitely a collection's agency number.  Ext: 22000 was on their voicemail.

Another site checked said Nationwide Recovery Systems. On same site, 4 others listed # as spam.

Voice mail message: Hello, then 9 seconds of silence.

Got a voicemail, but did not leave a name number, the voicemail was  of people laughing and talking in a heavy accent. I called back and was told it was nationwide recovery systems.  I did not continue the call.

Husband received a call, I received a call, family members received a call threatening action with the authorities.

I got it as well.. 4-7 times a day.. scammers. they want you to call them back. do not do it

This number has called me once a day, excluding weekend and one day skipped, for the max of a week and hasn't left one voicemail.

Man from a foreign country called asking me my name and address so I hung up.. Within an hour another foreign man called ask me if I was who I am and even had my birthday after saying those things I ask who he was he hung up. I called number back and another foreign man answered I ask where they collection or fraud or hackers.. Man would not tell me who they were so I hung up. Kinda scary and made me feel like they were maybe identity theft people or something like that..

Called my cell.  I did not answer.  Deleted the number.

Got another call from this number at 11:28 AM.

This number along with 337-516-1073 called my husbands cell and mine looking for me. Stating they were Nationwide Recovery Systems looking to collect $4,000 from me due to IRS back pay and if i didn't comply they'd send an arrest warrant. I hung up.  They called back threatening me using foul language. I reported it.

Asking me to verify my personal information, told me they had my social security number, name, D.O.B and address. I refused to verify any information and the guy was increasingly more rude.

Calls me once a day on my cell for several weeks.  Finally answered, got few seconds of silence, then it disconnected.  Have now blocked number.

Many thanks - I was trying to track this down for a friend.

You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked 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.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
