8002103613

I have gotten the same messages for month now on my work number.  The number shows differently on my caller ID.  In the last week it has come from 231-732-2409.  It is so frustrating to be bothered at work like this, especially when I don't carry credit card debt!
1-800-210-3613

This is the worst kind of sales tactic. One designed to frighten people who are worried about the balance on their credit card(s). What makes me so irate about "Simon" and "Imperial Research" (whatever that is) is that he will call my home phone several times in a row and NOT leave a message on the answering machine until the fourth or fifth time he calls. I often screen my calls on my home phone because I do not want to speak to salespeople. This person (company??) is full of um, baloney and I wish I knew how to get him in trouble for harassment. I only have one credit card and I don't have credit card debt, so it's is easy to see how bogus his rude, annoying phone tactics are.

Same call from Simon Phelps - Any idea how to get off the calling list, I have a message from him at least once each week & I don't have any credit card debt

I get the same phone call message from Chris St. James of Broadcom.
He said that I am qualified for a debt reduction allowance program.
He leaves a phone number to call 1.800.210.2892
He calls me at work and home - several times a week.
Annoying son of a gun...

Recorded message (man's voice) left on my unlisted home phone voice mail:

"This is Simon Phelps with Imperial Research at 800-210-3613.  I am calling regarding your credit card balances and the minimum payments that are going out.  It is IMPERATIVE that you call me back.  You now qualify for the Debt Reduction Allowance Program.  Again, my name is Simon Phelps and my phone number is 800-210-3613, and it is IMPERATIVE that you give me a call."

According to this website, this call actually originated from LIB Management, Inc., or perhaps Lucre, Inc., which is apparently a collection agency.  I have received a number of very similar recorded messages left on my voice mail (unlisted home phone) by persons misrepresenting themselves as "Chris St. James with Broadcom" and "Lyndon Hall with Channel Docs Information", which apparently also originate from LIB Management, Inc.  Since I do not in fact have any credit card debt, it is possible that these callers are trying to harrass someone else entirely.  It is also possible that these calls are even more deceptive than it appears from we have said here.  It is striking that the false personal names and company names adopted by LIB Management, Inc., appear to be designed to encourage variant spellings, although I am not sure what "benefit" that could have to this collection agency.

Collecting various reports spotted at this website, it seems that numerous posters here report receiving calls which contain phrases such as:

"Frank Thomas with City Point Express at 1-800-717-8057"

"Sam Abbott with Executive Direct Solutions at 1-800-693-7119"

"Chris St. James with Broadcom at 1-800-210-2892"

"Linden Hall with Channel Docs Information at 1-800-210-2731"

"Simon Phelps with Imperial Research at 800-210-3613"

The calls are almost identical (and in some cases it is obvious that one person is using numerous aliases), and all contain a phrase similar to "credit card balances and the minimum payments which [are/aren't] going up", with the words "[are/aren't]" always slurred.  Bizarre.

Two interesting suggestions I've seen at this website: (1) all these calls originate from a shady collection agency, possibly called Lib Management, Inc.  (2) this represents the latest "Nigerian scam".  Some of you might have seen recent news stories saying that up to one fourth of the population of China have received spams in the past few days via their cell phones.  Whatever the true explanation, one thing seems certain: a criminal gang is at work here.

Edwin Ramero from Credit Development Corporation, 1-899-699-9246--imperiative that you call because rates are going up.  Qualify for debt reduction allowance program--call back!  Basically I have no debt--why would he call--where did he get my phone number?????

William Park, 800-709-0214....imperative that I call back that i qualify for the debt reduction allownace programs.  Now my husband and I have credit cards, but they are very much UNDER control. But i called that number back and It ended up giving me a number to call to direct me to local singles.  I just hope they dont catch someoone off guard that is having a hard time with credit card debt, and they dont know better to research it first

Same as mentioned above.

i just called to be removed from the list, and they hung up on me.
