Phone call from this number... no message

This number called me at 11:58am and I hit the ignore button. Not even a whole minute later at 11:59 they called back. i hit the ignore button that time too. They didn't leave a message so it must not have been that important.

They called and transferred to another operator. Asked me my name. Told her to identify herself and then she said she needed to know who she was talking to. Said she didn't know my name and the called me by my first and last name a few seconds later. Told her nice scam try and hung up on her

So annoying! Wouldn't u leave a message if it was that important

would not leave message. Calling me on my company phone. getting tired of it but at least my boss keeps a log of all calls on company phones.

Missed the call; no message was left.

Call me at the job when I said can I take a number no response

This number is listed, along with several others in my phone as SCAM. I always let it go to voicemail, but they never leave a message. So I call them back from a multi-lined business phone. When a person answers, they always say..."this is (name), account manager on a recorded line, may I have....."  This is a collection agency scam of some sort, I just haven't figured out who yet.

Called me at 11:20 and asked me if I was myself and I said yes ask me for my to verify my address in my ZIP code and my date of birth ask me if I can remember my ZIP code I said no and they said in order to verify the debt they had to have me tell them my ZIP code I could not remember my ZIP code and refuse to give them information they hung up  on me. It says unknown caller on my reverse caller ID so I did not know if it was a scam or not.I've turned it into the Federal Trade Commission here in Missouri.

If you call that number, someone comes on the line and says that they are "Credit Control".  Guy who answered the phone  refused to admit that they were debt collectors and would not give me an more information.

In any event,

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.

needs to learned english

What happened to the rule of after 9 am before 9 pm.  How rude!

Unless, you State specifically prohibits calls before 9 am, it is legal for them to call, starting at 8 am.

As Yoda pointed out, Federal Law allows calls from 8 am to 9 pm your time.

If you want to learn how to make the calls stop, if you would like to know what agencies to report them to, and if you would like to know how to make them pay you for the harassment, please read my post here:  https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-800-288-1524/2#p1300447216138459617

Calls says they going to arrest me and I owe money irs

They sent me a blank voicemail while I was listening to a video about the Buffalo Soldiers.

Often get calls from this number but I ever answer. I live in central time and they called me at 7:05 am and woke me up. Just hit the ignore button.

I'm sick of all these calls every day

They call my cell all the time.  They never leave a message and I never pick up . I don't know what they want. Must not be too important since they can't even bother to leave a message. If I don't know the number that is calling me I will not pick up . I wait and listen to the voice mail first. If they never leave a voicemail they will never hear from me. Ever.
