800-650-1776

"Maria Vargas" used an autodialer for my cellular phone with this message: this is personal business for ____________, if you are not_______then hang up or disconnect.
  Personal business is usually a debt collector, and the best thing to do is to log the calls and DO NOT RESPOND! Some debt collectors will record your voice, and the more you talk the more material they have to work with. This may be dangerous for you if they are not above breaking the law or are otherwise gathering information in order to extract money from you.
   My own word of advice is to save your receipts for every purchase and DO NOT EVER deal with a third party collector.

Said her name was Dana.  Wanted to talk to my husband, asked who she was with, she said  First Source Financials.  I asked what it was about and she said she couldn't say unless I verified my husband's Birth date.  So I hung up

keeps calling my personal cell#! during office hours.i don't believe it to be debt related. no message

Call from 800-650-1776 for Dedra Dee. Dedra does not live here and never has. We have had this phone number for more than 2 years and keep getting calls from collection agencies for her. This call was from Personal Financial Solutions Inc. If you know how to stop this let me know at guempelein@gmail.com.

Call from 800-650-1776 for Dedra Dee again. We have had 3 calls now since the first report on Feb 1.

DO NOT ANSWER, they can't do any thing ; you did not sign any document w/ them , they buy those that for 1 dollar and then try to collect and try to use scare tatics!! GOOD LUCK!!

Brand new phone # for me, no message left.  

Keep in mind you may want to add your cell phone on the DNC list, if you have ever used your cell number on an application or at a cash register then your number will be sold to telemarketers

These clowns call my cell phone every single morning with a recorded message supposedly meant for someone I've never heard of.  The recording identifies them as (garbled) Financial Services.

Please stop calling me. There is NO John J. Thomas, ii!

Recorded call asking for someone I do not know.
I hit their "9" reply button and was connected to a Ryan.
They index whom they are calling by phone number and Ryan asked if this
was a Paul somebody.  WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I informed him that their recording was asking for a Shannon person.
They called a private line to a company's computer center.
No such person there.  I know, I am the CIS Manager for the company
as well as the owner.
Ryan said he would mark it as a bad number.
He better.  I have a field of attorneys just ready to pounce on idiots like this.
Said company name was 1st Source Financial. The back up 800 number is 800-650-1776
Caller id:  Columbus Ohio  ID Number:  614-384-5891

UPDATE:

I called the 614 number I listed in my last post and the person answering confirmed that the 614-384-5891
is to 1st Source Financial

They are calling a nursing home asking for residents using 'Cindy Davis' as the contact name with the number 1-800-650-1776; when you call back you get the chance to leave a recorded message for 'the business office'.  This is disgusting and has caused a lot of problems for my family!!! They should be ashamed of themselves for doing this.

5 Times in one day!  Is this even legal??

First Financial - this seems to be legit, as I do in fact owe for a hospital bill. However, I had called the hospital in question about 3 months ago and made arrangements to pay out the bill, and have been paying it on time.

The fact that they have turned me over to a bill collector is reprehensible.  First Financial called my work number about 2 minutes after they called my cell#, and then 'apologized' for calling me again.  I told them, when they called my work #, that I had already made arrangements with the hospital, and if they ever call me either on my cell or at work again, I will file a complaint with both the FCC Do Not Call and the Texas State Attorney General's office.  What the lady in question did not know was that I am in fact filing a complaint anyway.  You would think that these morons would Google their own numbers once in a while to see how abysmal is their conduct, and what people are saying about them.

Number came through on my hardline while I wasn't home, and what threw me was that my Caller ID showed it as WIRELESS CALLER along with the 800-650-1776 (/sarc got to love the use of the patriotic year). That was why I came to this site to try to determine if it might be legitimate...although I AM puzzled as to why the ID showed as being from a wireless number, but considering today's technology, they may have set up something to make it appear as if it is from a cell phone.

Whether it is a collector for a hospital or not, and I do owe but have been paying, they wake me up every morning. So I am setting this number as a "contact" on my phone, giving it a name like "800 Pest 1" and assigning it a "NONE" ring tone, so the phone does not ring. They do leave messages and the message tone does come on, but it is soft and does not wake me up.

Yes this is a debt collector called me 5 times in a row ? seriously :( IS that legal ? wow it sucks too cause it woke the baby up .... grrrrrr

The 800-650-1776 calls me every day (7 days a week) and has been doing so since May. I do owe a hospital bill so I am pretty sure why they are calling me but funny thing is.. I DO NOT GIVE my CELL # to ANYONE but family.. I gave them my home #. And told them to use that as an emergency number as well. I finally did what someone else mentioned here on the link.. I Saved the contact with a name (wont mention what that name was ;o) ) And since I don't have the option of not having a ringtone I gave it the "Door Bell" Because it reminds me of Door to door sales men ;o) Ha/ha.. Anyway.. They do leave a message 99% of the time.  I noticed today they didn't leave one which is the first for them.  Good luck on getting rid of them.. I'm about to call my phone company and have them blocked.. Has anyone tried this before?  Does it work?

Can these collector companies call me at my place of employment on my work line. They told my co-worker who they were and I owe a debt. I do not know how they found my work number.  Now my employer and all my 50 + co- workers know about my financial problems.  Can they call you at work and harass me? Does anyone know?

First things first---

They violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by disclosing your debt to third parties.

Second, they are not allowed to call and harass you at work--but you have to tell them this in writing. This is also your right under the FDCPA. Once they receive your letter they have to stop calling or they can be fined $1,000 per violation. Send it VIA certified mail with return receipt requested.

When they call back, let them know you will be filing a complaint against them with the Federal Trade Commission for violating third party disclosure under the FDCPA:
