This group of fine people called my wife today stating that there was a "claim number" and that she needed to talk to them right away. (For what? We have not submitted a "claim" since our last interaction with our home owner insurance over a water leak, long since finished and settled). It's football season "BLOCK THAT KICK!" or, in this case, Call.

received several calls refrencing a claim # when I got someone on the phone the lady had a heavy accent and had information about me which can be easily found online but when asked to confirm my last 4 of my social security i responded i was not confirming anything via phone and to mail me the crap in which they claim i am owing to which she promptly caught attitude and told me have fun in court I cheerfully responded thank you have a good day and hung up... this is a scam beware

Calling continuously for Diana Poole.

they did piss me off but i felt much better after i called back and told them to stop trying to scam me and if they truly were going to prosecute me go to just go ahead and get it over with  and stop calling my muthf*** phone and that I was going to report them and they would be the ones in court and in jail and hung up

Now they're calling my family - this has gone far enough - when I call and ask for THEIR information, to send a cease and desist they scream at me that they'll find my current information and sue me and then hang up.

COMPANY IS CALLED NRA GROUP LLC!!!! I called this number back after they called my cell, my work, and my sister.  They said it was for a payday loan back from prior 2012 but couldn't supply a date or company, just a list of companies it could have been through.  I haven't had a pay day loan in 10 years.  They had the last four of my SSN.  I advised them any pay day loan I has was paid in full and I haven't heard anything in 10 years.  I told them to stop calling my sister as it's considered harassment, and this was a scam.  Then they hung up on me.

I keep getting hit by an automated message from this number asking for somebody I don't know.
The company just keeps spamming you for weeks on end and doesn't care if you are not this person.

Thank you. I filed a report against them.  I think they do ID theft and scamming people out of money.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

— filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.

If these losers have any of your personal information such as your social security number, date of birth or drivers license make sure you register with identity protection notify the credit agencies as well as your banks!!

Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so. If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number. For tracfone & straight talk:

https://www.straighttalkwirelessforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=6803&t=55006

For text messages: forwarding any text message spam you get to the short code  “7726,” which spells “spam” on most phones, to alert your network operator to the abuse. ATT won't accept 7726 But they will accept BLOCK and return a message that the web site is blocked. forward the texts to 7726 or BLOCK, depending on your phone carrier.

these people are the worst yell back at then

Have reported this company to Cfpb and this is the response:

We usually can quickly send complaints to the company for a response. Sometimes it takes longer to correctly identify and register the company. We’re still working to register the company you identified.

If we need more information to continue our work, or if we are unable to send your complaint to the company, we will let you know.

Can I hire my own lawyer to look into this?

Yes. While we can’t give legal advice or represent individuals in legal matters, if you want more help you can contact a private attorney or your local legal aid office for free or low-cost legal resources at www.lsc.gov.

Called asking for my husband's ex-wife...I did not speak to anyone.

I have received 20 or more calls from this number, all for a person named Cordley Backus (or something like that) which is not my name. I have called the number back and told them to take me off their list but they are very sparse with information about who they are. One time I did get the term "NRA arbitration"

I have received 3 calls from this number and my husband has received 1.  Every time they use my maiden name.(been married 10 years)  They say that there is a claim against me.  When asked from whom they do not respond with anyone.  Also I asked who they are calling with and the name is never able to be understood.  I asked for a supervisor who asked for my phone number then said oh there is nothing here we have the wrong number.  However they just called again today and left an automated message stating this call is about me with maiden name again and a claim number and to call back.  So I called attorney general of my state and they said this is a fishing scam and do not even speak with them.  Also told me to call the FTC at 1 877 382 4357.  Also I KNOW this is a scam because we have monthly a cerdit monitoring service through our bank.  With nothing negative on it.  If a person truly owed money there would be negative impacts on one's credit report.

they called me today same thing

Call blocker might be of some help.  Also don't pick up on numbers you do not recognize, or where there are caller IDs that seem odd.  Or where there is no caller ID.  There’s  no way to stop the calls from being initiated. Calls originate off-shore.  Most likely in the Caribbean.

Global Scam most likely out of Jamaica or perhaps the Island of Nevis.

They also call from other numbers see: 251-301-9797, 800notes.  This is a Jamaican (I'm pretty sure) offshore group.  They also go by the name Atlantic Processing, Spotlight,  Global Solutions, GDS, GDS Solutions  as well as Capital Risk  Capital Services Capital Law and Provisional Risk Services.  Also ITS and IPS and NAR.  National Recovery,   NRA, Northwest Recovery. They may use other  CIDs and phony creditors as well.  Their signature phrase when you ask them where they are located is to say: "they are in Miami but have 48 locations in the US".  Right.   Lately they’ve been adding the phrase “except Hawaii and Alaska.  Just to show you they now have learned some geography.  These people are nothing more than   overseas scammers.  Ignore these people and block their calls.
Report them:  See:  http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

A woman leaves a recorded message. When you call back a foreign man states I am being sued for an unpaid loan of $300 taken out in 2011. I told him to send me something in the mail and he started yelling at me to get a lawyer. I told him I was laid off in 2011 and could not possibly have gotten a loan. They keep calling my cell several times a day including today.
