8504731276

partial message left on answering machine

Called today, didn't leave a message. When I called the number back it said it had been disconnected or was no longer in service.

I just received a call from this phone number.  I immediately hung up & searched the internet for this # and was surprised to see so many others are receiving calls from that same #.

My telephone has a block caller feature.  Just add the telephone number and the caller gets a busy signal and the phone rings once and dismisses it.  Quite a few telemarketers and surveys have completely stopped calling.  I was playing with my telephone and just so happened to stumble across this feature.  You may to do the same.  I'm glad I did.

Important message to all those that have received a call from this number:

The company making this call with an auto dialer is a known scam outfit. They spoofed phone numbers of victims all the time. Sometimes, they spoof non-working phone numbers. The phone number 850-473-1276 is just another example from these scumbags. I've done a lot of research of this company. Actually, there are several affiliated companies, owned by the same people that try to scam innocent victims. One scam is about auto warranties. The other is about credit card debt relief. Their MO is the same. The use an auto dialer, and call thousands of random numbers. They have no regard to the do not call lists. Your demands or complaints are worthless. They will continue to call you.

They will not remove you from their call lists. Why? BECAUSE THEY DO NOT MAINTAIN ANY. THEY ARE CROOKS. THEY HAVE NO REGARD TO THE MANY LAWS THEY BREAK.

If they call about a car warranty, the message says something as "This is the second notice on your extended vehicle warranty. Press one now to speak to a representative..." The message about credit debt mentions "This is Account Services. We are calling to lower your credit card debt. Press one now to speak to a representative..."

Here are the details of these [***]:

Car Warranty Scam:
VP Marketing
4501 Circle 75 Parkway
Suite #A-1225
Atlanta GA 30339

They also show a new address in their help wanted ads:
1820 Water Place Pkwy
Ste 255
Atlanta GA 30339
678-741-3188
678-741-3189


Credit Card Scam:
Versadebt Corp.
4501 Circle 75 Parkway
Suite #A-1225
Atlanta GA 30339

To the best of my knowledge, their phone number is:
678-238-1300 or
678-238-1351

Both companies are listed with the Georgia Department of State. Here is how you can lookup their information:
http://corp.sos.state.ga.us/corp/soskb/CSearch.asp

You will find that the "Registered Agent" for VP Marketing is Kelly Lonas, 224 Ripple Creek Drive, Marietta GA 30060. The listed "Member/Manager" is James A. Schoenholz at the 4501 Circle 75 Parkway address.

Versadebt's Registered Agent is the same James A. Schoenholz at the 4501 Circle 75 Parkway address. There is one additional name listed for Versadebt. The listed CEO, CFO, and Secretary is named Marvin Cox, Jr. at the same address.

Here are some links to prove my research:
Job listings for VP Marketing:
http://www.careerbuilder.com/JobSeeker/Jobs/JobResults.aspx?ncc=^"VP+Marketing"$&cbRecursionCnt=1&cbsid=65cc3191c8ec4200beb8f180570269d1-267407999-RF-4&ns_siteid=ns_us_g_"vp_marketing"_at

Notice the job listings for "Appointment Setter," "Qualification Representative," "Auto Warranty Specialist," and "Financial Representatives." Those are the idiots you get on the phone when you press "1" to speak to a representative after receiving their ILLEGAL recorded phone calls. Also, you can see many other job listings with similar titles.

Interestingly, if you view these help wanted ads, you will notice that their address and phone number are different from what is listed with the Georgia Department of State. They now list 678-741-3188  and 678-741-3189 as the phone number of Human Resources. IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL TO CALL THEM AS THEY LISTED THEIR NUMBER IN A PUBLIC FORUM. Call them to find out more information about this company. You will need this in your complaints to the FCC, FTC, and your state Attorney General.

You can call them to see if they offer Car Warranties or tell them you are interested in a lower interest rate. It is quite humorous to listen to their answers!

Here are some details from RipOff Report:

You can learn much more about these [***] by performing a web search for "versadebt," and "vp marketing," or "heather from account services."

Now, what can we do about this? You have two solutions:
1) Speak to one of their customer service representatives. Pretend to be interested in either lowering your credit card interest rate or a car warranty. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY REAL INFORMATION. Give them a fake credit card number, a fake name, and a fake SS#. Tell them you own a Ferrari, or a 1937 Dodge (however, if you really own one of those two, tell them you own a Buick). Give a made up VIN number.

Your goal is simple. Keep them on the phone for as long as possible. Be friendly. Your goal is twofold. You want to learn as much as possible about them. They will refuse to give you a website, phone number, or maybe even a real company name. They will attempt to give you a generic name such as "Account Services" or "Financial Services." This is done for a reason, to throw you and the government off their tracks. Do not accept this. Keep pressing for info. You will need this (see below).

EVEN BETTER IS IF YOU CAN RECORD THE CALL.

Also, the time you take from them means them have less time to steal from someone who is unknowledgeable about their scams. They get paid to rip people off. Take away their time, and they make no money! I have kept them on the phone for up to 20 minutes! I realize that many of you do not have the time? But do you appreciate being taken advantage of?

Ever hear of Scambaiting? That is what you are doing!!! There are many entertaining web sites on this topic. For example, see:

2) YOU MUST REPORT THEM TO THE AUTHORITIES:

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION!
Here is the link to file a complaint: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION:
https://donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

You must also file a report with the Attorney General of your state. See the last link below to see how effective this can be.

I file complaints against Versadebt and VP Marketing every time I receive a call. If everyone that received a call from these low-life scumbags does the same, then the combined action of thousands of us can stop these crooks from scamming innocent people out of money. You may also try to write your congress person.


See the following press releases to see how effective your complaints can be:

Received call from this number. No message left on the answering machine.  I am registered on the Do not call list.  Tried returning this call and it said it was disconnected.

My wife answered the call and got someone wanting credit card information.  They said they could reduce the interest rate.  When my wife wouldn't give more info they transferred her somewhere else and  got cut off.  Doesn't sound good to me.  I also called the number and got the message that the number is no longer in service.  What gives?

I got a call just now from them. (Aug 4, 2008)
I've gotten a call from them before so I knew who it was and just hung up.
I never went thru their menu because I knew it was a scam, there are no credit card companies in FL.

Got a call today from the same number.  I'm on the do not call list, they called my home phone, I did report the number but not sure if that helps.

I get these calls weekly.
As soon as the recording starts, I press 1.
The operator comes on. Asks to verify name and phone #.
I say Bill Gates and give them my local police dept's #
They go on about how they can save you 9k and then they want to call your CC co for you. Of course they want you CC# too.
They ask you to give them the number on the back.
I give them a local radio station 800 number.
They call it and it picks up - KROQ!!! LMAO!!!

Long story short -
I F$%#'d with this stupid woman who couldn't even pronouce the word INTREST (Inshrense Rate) for a good 7-10 minutes.

OMG - I love Telemarketers.
I Mean - I love F-ing with telemarketers.

Please call back.   Please call back.  Please call back.  Please call back.  Please call back.  Please call back.

Waste their time...

I have been getting these calls too!  I am on the DNC registry also.  So I am going to report them.

I get these calls on a regular basis. Today, I insisted (again) that they add us to their do-not-call-list. They of course respond how that is not really possible since the calls are on automatic dialers. So I said "so this is indeed a scam since you cant add us to your do not call list". They guy got into some other conversation with me in order to detract from my point of them being a scam. Then (as usual, they hung up on me). I am sick of them. But I think I will try and come up with something else for fun instead of always accusing them...something fun and a waste of their time. Hmmmmm, any ideas???

call from (850 473-1276 no message left this time.  i get calls from them from time to time, i report to do not call each time + i never pick up.

Call from 850-473-1276 said to press one if I wanted a lower interest rate. I hung up. I am on the DNC list.

OK folks these idiot criminals are using a CID SPOOFING SERVICE. They are using a Pensacola FL residential line that has long been disco'd. That way you dial back a dead #. The only way to really dial them back is with *69 (it removes the fake CID). Also 'Call Tracing' *57 will give authorities their REAL number!

Also if you have a 800 or PBX (company) line WITH CID give them that number to call you back on. It will reveal their true number.

Also NEVER give out your active cc#!!! But if you want to play a really nasty trick back on them then just act like your playing along and give them an old reported lost/stolen cc# you should have thrown away years ago. This will get them busted immediatley if they try to use it.

Here is a sting SSN that will nail them IMMEDIATLEY if used: 457-55-5462 (Lifelock.com Todd Davis from LifeLock dares any thief to try and use it without massive penalty.)

If you don't have an old reported lost/stolen card then use one of these numbers listed by PayPal as good but fake cc# that will test as good but are fake as hell. May get them busted too! http://tinyurl.com/22st39

Just remember to use a real expiration date (mmyy) in the future. Pick something noteworthy and ironic like 0911.

Caller ID: PENSACOLA, FL
Tel: 850-473-1276
Day: 8/05
Time: 12:26 PM

8-5-08 recorded message from pensacola, fl
message stated "Don't be alarmed, but today is last day to get low interest rate.
I am on Do Not Call Registry so I pushed 1 to get name of company for the complaint.
When "Charles" came on the phone, I asked him who the company was.  The line went "click" and went dead.
Probably a phony number that can be programmed into a PBX to avoid the do not call list
