debt collector using numerous phone numbers

Received 2 calls past 2 days on my new home phone. They hung up & did not leave message.  Found out it'd from PNB Capital Group. Debt collection agency. I have never been late on any bills, not even one. Whoever had land line phone previously must have uncollected debts. So far received 15-16 phone calls past 30 days from different phone numbers, but all from PNC. Getting very irritating.

P&B Capital. Debt collector. Multiple calls from different numbers hounding my land line. We don't owe anything. How do we file formal complaint for these senseless calls?

These people are running a SCAM! Do not fall for it!

They will claim you owe a debt which you actually do not owe.  They will threaten to have you arrested if you do not pay them.  They pretend to be a legitimate collection agency, however, it is all a scam.

Do not give them your social security number (they will claim they need you to verify it) or any other personal information.  Tell them you know they are scammers and hang up.  Then contact one of the three credit reporting agencies - Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion - and request a copy of your credit report.  You are allowed one free copy each year.  If you really owe a debt, it will be on your report.  The Scammers may have told you that they are allowing you to pay them before it hits your credit report, but that's a lie.  That's not how it works.  Bad debts go on your credit report BEFORE they are sent to a collection agency.

The Scammers use a VOIP phone to spoof phone numbers of legitimate collection agencies, so the number you see on caller ID is not the actual number they are calling from.  This list is just a few of the numbers they use:  941-757-8567, 877-575-9464, 877-818-9173, 978-705-6437, 205-209-4217, 203-567-4289.

Hang up and block their calls.  Don't become a victim of their scam!
