866-354-0383

Sounded like a collection agency.

they have wtrong number and keep calling

I keep getting recorded messages from 866-354-0383

I keep getting messages that are not addressed to me. can you stop them?

They keep calling, but I don't answer calls from unfamiliar numbers.

Keep getting call from this number, asking for someone that doesn't even live here. The message says to call Mr. Scott at this number.

They keep calling and won't stop -- can anyone tell me how to report them for harassment?

Yet another call from Mr Scott looking for a Mr Brown.

Do Not Call Again!

who is mr scott

If you call that number they ID themselves as "the law office of Arnold Scott Harris".   Debt collectors.

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.
