866-697-7575

This number called me & called my parents house looking for me. They said they were going to be sending someone to serve me at my house or place of employment between 12-5 p.m. today but then the moron asked my mom for my address, phone number & place of employment. She told him that she thought he already had that information if he was supposedly coming to serve me today and told him not to call her anymore and hung up. Today a lady called me and left me a message using word for word the same message that the guy left me yesterday & pretty much what he told my mom. I am so sick of all of the bill collectors or supposed bill collectors anyway harrassing my family. I called the number today to at least see where they were calling from & they just answered the phone with the name of "PR" but I have no clue what that is.

Yes someone did that to my phone too. They calling for someone that doesn't have phone number no more. But they left same message. Annoying

every year these people call me and when i remembered who i was talking to we got disconnected random but yet every year come on people. Stop Calling me

This number called my mom and told her I needed to call them back by the end of day other wise I was going to be served the next day. If they were serving me with anything why do they call my mom and not me. If you can look a persons family then you are bond to find my phone number.

Same thing left message for me and called my daughter and said they were serving her for the same thing , we have no debt together , does anyone know who these people are and do they really ever show up , which is illegal , sherriffs dept does the serving in tx

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.>
