Picked up the phone and just heard laughing. CREEPY.

Call me at least once a day.

called and hung up

they hung up, called the # and they said they will remove from call list.
She was very nice, let's see if it works.

They keep calling and asking for my husband.  When I ask to take a message they wont talk to me.  I wont answer the phone anymore.  When someone asks for my husband by his full name I know it is a telemarketer.  We are on the do not call list.  What is up with that?

Called twice, three hours apart. left no message

claimed to work for Yahoo...offered to charge our business credit card $30 and receive $100 from Yahoo for their PayPerClick program.  Guy said his name was Thomas Hale Email address: tjhale3@yahoo.com and gave me this phone number to reach him directly.  Questionable, especially since his email address looks like a regular email address that anyone can set up.

They call offering a Lowes Credit Card for our business every day, and every day I ask them to take us off their calling list. I get the same story every day, they can not take us off the calling list because we're a business and we've been pre-screened for a $2500.00 Lowes Business card!

Today's caller was lazy and reading off a script, no ambition of making a sale to us. So I decided to f&&& with him and try to sell him a membership to our video store that I am the manager of.

He hung up on me!

Maybe tomorrow when they call I will be successful at selling a membership to them.

Call from "Armed Services", anounced the business name and hung up.  Caleld the number back and asked for company name.  Explained that the automated system hung up.  Lady said they have 30 people placing calls and when they are all busy the machine takes over.  Gave her the number they called and she put me into the "no call list", they DO NOT use the NAtional Do Not Call List.  I advised her to remove my name/number AND if I get one more call, I will fill a formal complaint with my state's attorney's general for the hang ups.  I have done this in the past with positive results, most times after a threat of litigation, they back off.

Have received 2 calls - within 2 hours of each other from this phone number.  When I pick up, there is no response.  On the second calls, I did not hang up, but after about 20 seconds the call disconnected.

Numerous calls weekly, all times of day and night, all dead lines.

Receive calls from 866-205-1641 daily They do not leave a message and if I answer I only hear noise...UGH!!!!

I get about 4-5 phone calls per day from this number.  My phone is on the national do not call list, yet I keep seeing this number come up via Caller ID.  This is becoming a real distraction from my work.

Early morning hang up call - couldn't sleep in on a Saturday morning - grrrr!

Received call at 1100 hours Id as 866-205-1641, when I answered woman ID as representing Lowes Home Improvement Credit Card and wanted to VARIFY information starting the address - which was incorrect, I demand immediate removal she became belligerent with me re verifying the information so she could remove me from the system, at that point I told her to remove the number or I report her to the authorities for I.D. theft at which time she disconnected. Call back the number I contacted a Sue(I'm sure a false name) and asked to if is possible to have a number removed a which time she asked if I wanted the number I was calling from removed - saying the number which is a block number. I indicated the correct number and she Mr. XXXXXXX the number is removed and immediately the line went dead.

Got a call from (866) 205-1641. "Nick" asked for the person responsible for credit decisions. He would not give the name of the company he represents, and otherwise was humorously obnoxious. Who trains these [***]?

I dialed the number to see what's up, and a recording says it's Leows, but that they're closed, even though I called during the recording's stated business hours.

Folks, keep your hand on your wallet at all times.

If it's a family business the do not call list doesn't apply I think it is intended for residences so if your residence is being contacted you need to change your business number also i think you may need to update your status on  the list from time to time

Debt collector - I have no past due debt so given my past experience with these type recorded calls I am putting them in the scam category

2 voices, one with my name then calling from the compliance dept. 2 complaints filed against me! hung up before they could finish woohooarms svr ge cpt

If you call that number they ID themselves as "CS Recovery".  Lady would not give me any more information.  Denied they were debt collectors.   Right.
____________________
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.
