Harassing phone calls
Scammers!!

Keep repeatedly calling over and over!  Sometimes even going as far as masking the number... But the message still leaves this same one. REFUSE TO ANSWER ~

They called my mom’s cell left a voicemail asking for my where about me. Obviously a scam, I hate this!

yup they called my husbands cell said they were tryin to locate the whereabouts  of me and they would go down the list of numbers till they got me so please call them back and let them know where to locate me ! Scam.

They keep leaving voice mail looking for my daughter I just blocked the number

I have been harassed by this number for weeks.  There has to be something that can be done with this,  IT CAUSES ALOT OF UNNECESSARY STRESS!!  I should be prohibited. I want to know if this is a scam. It certainly seems like it.

They keep calling asking for my sister and same as others mentioned about going down the list.. I’m blocking this number

Skip Trace service looking for my sister (probably debt collector) - phone masked as 517-258-8201

It's a debt collection outfit calling itself BRG.

It is most likely

PATTERN OF COMPLAINT
BBB found a  pattern of complaint exists concerning lack of customer service and difficulty for consumers to obtain dunning letters with validation of debt information. We have also identified a pattern in your responses to complaints stating that your company has done no wrong doing and providing a validation of debt letter.  Not all components of the complaints are being answered or addressed.  This includes threatening the consumer which a number of the complaints reference your company doing and releasing personal information about the debt to third parties.

ALERT
Collection agencies are required to be licensed or bonded in many states in order to operate and contact consumers about outstanding debts.  BBB has reached out to this business requesting that they provide proof of licensing and bonding required for operating everywhere they do business. However, they have failed to respond to our requests.

BBB wants to make consumers aware that they have legal rights when they are contacted by a collection agency. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits abusive and harassing behavior by any debt or collection agency, this act is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, FTC. The act states specific practices and rules under which debt collectors must abide by.  There are penalties for agencies found breaking these laws.  Collection agencies must not use crude or offensive language or identify themselves as anyone other the business name that they are contacting on behalf of.  If a consumer believes a debt or collection agency has violated any of the FDCPA laws the BBB encourages them to file complaints with the BBB at www.bbb.org and Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov.

_________________________
Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.

If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:

1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  dime until the debt is validated

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.

If they are bothering you, report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)  The same goes for endless telephone harassment

Note that the US Supreme Court in the Case of HENSON ET AL. v. SANTANDER CONSUMER USA INC., has recently ruled that the provisions of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act do not apply if the creditor owns the debt in question.  As a practical matter this probably won't effect the kinds of scam debt collectors who often show up on 800notes.  The scam collectors don't give you any information about themselves so it is impossible to know whether or not they in fact "own" the debt in question.  Most do not send debt validation letters and many often say they are collecting for someone else.  So, make the complaint anyway if they are bothering you.  Let the FTC sort it out.

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you,  and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.  Tell 'em  no scammy debt collector is going to push you around.

You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking).   the only thing they understand.

Left voice mail from Jamie. Trying to locate and trace me. Stated will call all references to find me. called from 2705948568 but left 844-384-3715 as the call back number.

They have called my dad, brother, girlfriend all saying they are looking to find me, they will call all references on the list. First off I would never list my dad or my brother as we are not close. Obviously this is a scam, we keep a close eye on our credit reports, nothing listed under BRG, not even an inquiry which any collection agency or someone skip tracing is going to do first. I have called back several times, answering machine, never can actually reach anyone and there is no extension left to ask for. Reporting to my local attorney general. These calls have to stop.

Have you taken the time to read the other posts?  It does not seem like it since CWG40 has provided you with all the information you need to both report and to sue this criminal organization.  You should also report them to the New York State Attorney General and the FTC as well.

They have called my cell phone, my kids cell phone and even my work leaving these general messages. When I called back and spoke with "Zack" he said he could not locate my information and he would remove my number with in 24 hours? The number on caller ID comes up from Wyoming, but states they are based out of NY and want me to call some 844-384-3715 number. Come on scammers, get a legitimate job like the rest of us!

I have received a few calls today at work and cell phone from this company.  It says it is a skip trace and they are trying to locate me.  The phone call comes in as a "local" phone number but they want you to return the call to 844-384-3715.  This is obviously a scam.

Same here

Left a message on my husband's cell phone asking location of a name we couldn't understand and to call them back at this number to give additional info. The women making the call said "this is Jamie" but no company info just to call them back. And the inaudible name.

They do the same thing to me

Called my sister today, same as above. Also same tactics that a company out of MI is using,  When you demand written proof of supposed debt, them never send & sale your info to next company. DO NOT PAY
