Got a call from this number, they did not leave a message. I live in Pahrump, NV

Received a call from this number, no voicemail was left. I live in KY.

Again, received a call but at work so wasn't able to answer.  They didn't leave a message.

debt collections, and hella rude too

First call from this number today (March 14th, 2014) - no message.  Probably a bill collector.

Yes it is a bill collection company. They are very rude. They made comments to me that they will regret.

This guy called an claimed he was the FBI. Very crazy.

Impersonating a officer of the law is illegal, report it here:

I got a call jus now, hug up when I said "Hello".
I called right back ... they said they did not call me. Liars !!!!

Said they are a debt collector.   First call was a 206 area code.  Said they were calling me on a debt that needed paid.  Refused to give me a number, email or doctors name so I could verify it.  All they said is that it was for epic.  Contacted my insurance, they had no info about the claim and said that if I would get the info they would process it.  Called 206 number back, was promised the info.  Next week was called by this number by a different man.  He was very rude and said that it doesn't matter it is my fault and I have to pay immediately because interest was building daily.   Told him to send me the info so he could get paid.   Still very rude and said it MAY get to me tomorrow.

Called me on my cell and at work. Didn't leave a message on either line. caller id says it Boston, MA.

This guy keeps calling my nephew and knows all his info. I will be calling the FBI again.

Scammers, frauds and illegal telemarketers are using numbers now that belong to real people, real business's and have even used real attorney and legit debt collectors and payday loan names. ROT, do not call back

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.
