800-886-8088

This was a male asking for my wife. The only information he had was from her previous marriage, well over 5 years ago. What really bothered me was he talked to my 12 year old daughter and asked for all her current information. He asked where she was at the moment, where her ex-husband was, and even asked my daughter personal questions. I have done research on this company and found they are a shady collection agency known for illegal tactics.

I have no idea who these people are, but they keep calling my house and my work.  How can I get them to stop?  They are harrassing me daily.  I have no idea who they are.

The only real way...

Change your number to an unlisted, un-published number.

And make sure to tell the phone company to NOT give your new number to those who call your old number. Trust me... This is from fist hand experience.

I got a call from them today on my CELL.  I googled them and they are Dynamic Collection Agency.  I have no idea what they are calling about but I am going to ignore the call and any letters they send. Once you acknowledge them you open pandora's box.

Got a call from a Shannon Walker x2202 who left a message...
Told me to call her back today. I reported/filed the complaint IMMEDIATELY to the Do Not Call Registry as soon as I found out it is a harrassing phone scam.

I got a call from a Paul Chance and he is calling everyone in the neighborhood telling them the needs to speak with them or their attorney.

Crazy

I got a phone message today at work from Josh Davis to call him back today immediately at (800)886-8088 ext 2205. I have no clue why he is calling so I googled the phone number to find out that other people are receiving the same calls.

These guys have called 3 times recently asking about a "mink spa".  They talked to my spouse as if I was the "owner" of this spa.  They recently left me a message asking me to call them back at extension 2314 - Betty Grack.  The caller ID says DRS Incorporated.

Some guy just came out of no where and starts calling me and then states that he know it's my number because the phone is in my name.  I told him I don't know what he is talking about regarding a debt that he was trying to get payment for the same day and then threatened to garnish my wages said he spoke to the payroll dept.

This place keeps calling my cell phone asking for a cousin of mine, and they are very rude when you ask them to stop calling you. I asked them to stop calling and the caller and the manager said they would stop calling once I gave the cousin of mine the message to call them.
I'M SORRY IF IT IS NOT MY DEBT WHY IN THE HE** ARE THESE PEOPLE CALLING ME????

Left a message trying to reach my father in law. Tried to made it sound legal. what a bunch of crap. if you need to collect money from someone, then just file a claim. why in the world call ALL of the relatives, that have nothing to do with these idiots. Watch, just a bunch of scammers!!!!!!!!!

You can report the harassing phone caller to your local Sheriff's office.  I did.  They can file a warrant for the callers arrest if the caller continues to call after he has been told to stop.  The Deputy can call the caller and warn him to stop making harassing calls to you.  If the caller continues, the deputy can get a warrant for the caller's arrest.  It does not matter if it is in a different state.  I would never be forced to change my home number on the account of someone's illegal actions or threats.  My home number is my business phone, too!!  No way would I change my number!!!

Recieved a call from DRS. The caller left message stating that he was my lawyer and needed to speak to me about my case. I have not retained a lawyer. These people will try anything to scam people. I have no intention of responding to these people.

Under FDCPA laws, it is ILLEGAL for a collector to misrespresent themselves as an "attorney" or "law" firm:

This number called and asked for someone they claimed to be a relative. I don't even know the person that they were asking for! They said that they put me as a reference on an application. Yeah, where do they get their references, the phone book? I took your advice and told them I would call the sherrif if they kept calling. Hopefully that will be enough, I certainly do not want them calling everyday.

A lady called today twice saying her name is Mrs. Samples from Texas asking us to call immediately. It's a scam! Do not call back!

I just received a call on my cell from this number.  I answered the call and the call dropped.  I called back from my work line and the automated system said "Dynamic Recovery Services" and gave me an option to speak with the operator.  I explained that I had gotten a call from this number and she transferred me to some lady who would only tell me who the company's name and not what they do.  When I asked what they did, she said that she's not allowed to give that information out.  Hearing the name I asked if they were a repo company and she said that they "recover" and would not fully divulge what they were calling me about.  I gave her my name and number and what do you know?  I don't come up in the system.  She said that the auto-dialer would have left me a message, but wait I told her that was my cell phone - companies are not allowed to call parties in which the receiving party will be charged, i.e. cell phones.  If I receive another call from the company, I will file a complaint.

I received another call today from DRS and called back.  "Walter" said that he couldn't find my number.  

I have filed a formal complaint with the Dallas BBB.

If you need to file, make sure you search for "D.R.S. Incorporated" (no spaces between the periods and letters).

My husband received a call from these people yesterday.  They said we owed about $10,000 to Wachovia and they were hired by them to collect.  They told us it was for a repo; however, they couldn't give us a purchase date, make/model or year.  They threatened to garnish his wages.  They called me next and told me I had better seek legal council.  At least in our state garnishment of wages is only allowed by law for child support, alimony or, in some cases, student debt.  I hope we don't hear from them again but in reading these complaints, I think we are in for a long ride.
