8445053328

They just called me and asked for my father. Then when I said no you have the wrong number they asked for me and then I said no if you are looking for **** ***** you have the wrong number. He laughed and then hung up on me. ....

They have been calling my number on and off for a few weeks  now. I dont answer  but my boyfriend decided to answer one day and the guy said something about bank of america but wouldn't go into detail with him even though he told him he was my husband he wanted to talk to me. Yeah right scammers

Just received a call from this number today about my debt of $500 and change for my Lab Corp where I have been in February 2015 which is 1.5 years ago. I did not know if that was a scam from the first and I told him that I paid off all of my bills so this is just impossible. I honestly got quite scared, like what the hell. So I was talking to them for like 10 minutes.
Like people mentioned earlier a person had quite an accent but since I am from Miami I was not surprised.

Anyways, it is a 100% scam. Be careful out there. They almost got me since I am very responsible for all my charges

They keep calling me asking for my husband but they won't tell me for what so I think that's very weird

Wow!  I just received a call from the same # I blocked them from my cell. And continue getting calls, but the # is one digit off still claiming to be AMERICAN Medical!

They keep calling me. This is harassment

Call blocker might be of some help.  Might be a good idea to block the entire 844 area code.

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

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

I get a call from them once a day

This is Retrieval "Masters," a low rent, bottom feeding third party debt buyer.

This is a (futile) attempt to collect on a debt from Quest Diagnostics (seems to be a common theme from all of the posts here) where Quest was told by the insurance company to refile their claim and they would be paid in full. Quest flat out refused to do so. I guess Quest will just get zero dollars then. BYE.

Called my cell. Wouldn't leave a message. Read through the comments... I have no debt so they shouldn't be calling me.

Call says retrieval masters.robo call idiots

Harassment

Just Got multiple phone calls from this number. I asked them who they are they said "American Medical" then they hung up on me.

getting unwanted phone calls

Been called by three separate numbers from this “company”. They are able to change their number to local area codes.
Somehow they had only my phone number on file, but were calling for my mom- red flag one. Different numbers and sketchy answering red flag two.
But seriously if it was anything that was pertinent to my mom’s actual medical bills or cellection of, they would have the correct information and phone number.

You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
