8558756640

I received a call today from this number and answered the phone because we have guests.  I listened and got the number.  It was for my stepdaughter with all of the "legal" and threatening jargon.  This happened to us about 6 months ago and I called back then and strung them along and then told them I knew it was a scam.  Oh, did that person get mad!!  So today I called back and didn't say I was my stepdaughter but she gave the me the last four numbers of my daughter's ss#.  I said yes that was it.  Once we got to a certain point, I told her I wasn't and I knew the call was a scam.  Oh, my word.  She went off.  But so did I!  After she hung up on me, I called and told them to take my number off of their call list.  They will do that and this is the first call I've received in months.  I don't know how those people sleep at night.  Disgusting!

Keep getting calls at work from phone # 8558756640 say something about usc chapeter 18 section 1344 now and before they claimed they wanted to server me some papers in a public placed.  Called my home asked them to come to my house since I was on bed rest claimed they could not do this.  I do not know what to do.  This is affecting me at my work get calls twice a day a work.  

Legitimate process servers do not call to warn you, or to get money from you to stop the process.  They will deliver the notification without warning.

Oh ... that section deals with bank fraud.
An unpaid debt is NOT bank fraud.
In fact, it is not fraud at all ... it is a civil problem rather than a criminal one.

If you KNOW you owe no money, or believe the call was from a fake debt collector, please take the time to read this:

Yes I get this number and they say am getting served well they have said that for 4 months now I have no idea how they got my number

I have been receiving call from this number for months on my cell, home and office numbers.  I don't answer any call at work I not available and advise caller to call my cell phone.  I haven't responded at all.  Messages are getting more threatening.  Here my though, if I owed money to any company I would have been served to appear in court by now.  BOGUS

So we were on vacation, and these threatening calls, to a name I couldn't make out, came in while we were gone.  I was going to call and tell them they had the wrong number, but now I won't, and I'll see if our state even has an Attorney General... thanks for your posting.

Very Important Sounding Message! Gave us 72 hours to respond as we were "in violation of USA Title Code 18, Section 1344". The calls we received are for some derivative of our names, but not truly our names.  There is a GRS MANAGEMENT in Florida, which doesn't seem likely, and a GRS & Associates in South Carolina, with a feeble website talking about vitamins.  I, too, think these callers are just scaring others.  For what it's worth, here's the information Slim recommended looking up, which I recommend reading.

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:
•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
•Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
•Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.
