866-342-6926

I received a number of calls with messages left each time, that they are a location and tracing efforts for someone's name  I do not know. Message continues, "It is important that we speak with you in regards to their whereabouts if we cannot verify this information through you, the law allows us to contact all references on file.  Dial 0 now to speak with a representative or call 866-342-6926.  If you are unable to provide any information please contact us regardless.

I got the exact same phone call and message as stated above. . . no idea who these people are or why they are calling!

Two calls this morning. They left no messages

I also got a call with that same voicemail left. Have no idea who it is.

didn't leave a message

No clue who they are or what company this is

Called this number back this morning. It's a scam. They're gonna try to get your bank information, and it seemed like they were trying to make me believe I have an account that went to collections.  They'll try everything. Even verify basic information to make them sound legit. After I have told them I think this is a scam and demanded to speak with the manager also asked for the company, the lady I was speaking to just hung up. Be careful with this phone number.

After hour robo-greeter's ID sounds like FMR.   If it is FMR, it is most likely debt collector group  Forward Movement Recovery AKA: WORLDWIDE PROCESSING GROUP LLC.    http://worldwideprocessinggroup.info             Whatever the name, it's most likely a debt collector.

Remember:

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

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.

Received a call from 8663426926 saying something about a payday loan from 2011. I do not recall anything like that and they seemed to have my bank account number... is this a scam or an actual debt collector?

Jeff I got the same call. Well actually, my brother and an uncle that I haven't seen in 4 years got the call and I called back to see what it's about.
I did have a payday loan in 2010, which I paid back. The company has sold my information to SEVERAL debt collectors over the last few years as an open collection. The woman I spoke with said unless I can provide a "paid in full letter", they would continue to pursue this debt.  I'm not paying them money I don't owe, and she wasn't happy to hear that.

Im getting the same calls they have called 2 Co workers my bosses and my Hr person and my sister how do they get those numbers hack your phone

I have had a series of these calls lately. All the same auto attendant stating they are trying to track down someone. Though they never give a name, only that I should call them back at the listed number.

I wish I could get a live voice without actually calling them. I had a friend once who played a caller like this to the point the caller blew up and started cussing him, he recorded it and we laughed for months.  They claimed they were going to have him arrested, he would reply with okay, send the cops over right now. Another time he asked them how many 1000's of dollars they wanted him to make out the check for. That got the little oriental guys attention. He was giving my buddy an address in Florida to send the check to when he figured out my buddy was working him instead of the other way around, before it was over with the scam caller was screaming profanities at my buddy and the scammer hung up. LOL I bet that guy quit the scam agency by days end.

Most likely a scam.

Same as above: I received a number of call with the message that they are a location and tracing service for Paragon. Message continues, "It is important that we speak with you in regards to their whereabouts if we cannot verify this information through you, the law allows us to contact all references on file.  Dial 0 now to speak with a representative or call 866-342-6926.  If you are unable to provide any information please contact us regardless. So I called and a lady told me I had an outstanding loan from two years back, which I know is false...she even had the last four digits of my SSN, which really irritates me...

As an addendum to above, I demanded a letter of original debt, but now that I think about it, how hard could that be to fake...

4 calls in 2 days... Same as the posts above.  The message says that they are looking for someone and I have to call them back regardless of whether or not I'm that person.... Like I'm supposed to waste my time calling them back to tell them who I am.... Ridiculous...

I got the same call several days in a row.

Been receiving calls and messages from these people as well, trying to find my whereabouts and left messages indicating if I didn't respond they would call my family trying to find my location.  They have called my sister so far but luckily she's smart enough to not call them back, but figure out these people are scam artists.  Reported this # to the FTC, which everyone should do if they keep getting calls from this #.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) 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 receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
