877-204-1922

Called my cell

I keep getting this call as well??

Came up as "suspected spam" from my call blocker app...Robo voicemail stating they are "looking for my whereabouts".  Left no company name.

keep calling to know for my whereabouts trying to get me to confirm my social security number and telling me I have a claim against me.  Serious scam!

I got the same call with the same story, I'm so nervous now cause the woman have my social security number she said to me

yeah it seems like a scam.  had the same call years ago claiming I owe for a payday loan.   I never got a payday loan so I just laughed at them said see you in court.

This is most likely a debt collection scam.  If you call that 877 number they ID themselves as "VRG".  Something called BRG or VRG has been going around calling  for the "whereabouts" of whoever it is they want to talk to.   They tend to be threatening.  Ignore and block the calls.

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

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.
You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking),  the only thing they understand.

Call themselves "VRG" but in fact they are most likely  BRG or Bournview Recovery, a well-known debt scamming operation.

They often change their acronym.

BBB has seen a major increase in collection agencies setting up businesses in the Upstate New York area over the past several years.  In an effort to keep consumers informed about which collection agencies are operating in accordance with Federal Law,  we are asking for specific information from all collection agencies operating in our service area.  The requests includes the following:
:Federal Employee Identification Number-EIN
:Proof Of Licensing, bonding and or registration by the city, town in which your business is located.
:Proof of licensing required by any state in which you operate by mail or telephone or email.
This collection agency has not responded to our requests.
BBB advises consumers to be aware of their legal rights in regard to collections.  The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a statue enacted in 1978 which seeks to eliminate abusive and harassing behavior by any debt or collection agency.  The act states specific practices and rules under which debt collectors must abide by.  There are penalties for agencies found breaking these laws.  Some of these laws state that a collection agency is forbidden to harass a debtor, which includes threatening violence or legal action.  They may not use crude or offensive language or identify themselves as anyone other than by their business name.  If a consumer believes a debt or collection agency has violated any of the FDCPA laws the BBB encourages them to file complaints with the BBB at bbb.org and Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov

Call from a variety of numbers.  Usually 877 area code.  Their robo-messages use the phrase “law allows us” a lot.  Usually claim to be some sort of locating group and want to find out your address. Sometimes they use a CID of FMR. Or VRG.  Just another New York state Buffalo Bully.

People bothered by this group  might consider  blocking the  entire 877 area code.

called cell didnt answer

I have had this same call saying they're looking for my location. This is a new # today 877-204-1922 as I had been receiving them from #1-877-202-7127 the past few days. I also received calls from #1-877-203-9808 saying they were trying to collect a debt and had the last 4 digits of my SSN # which is disturbing!!! I know that's a A SCAM!!! I just delete the message and don't call back and then they just move on to someone else. I was getting a ton of calls from those INDIAN people but I'm guessing they were part of the bunch of the ones that got busted not to long ago in India!!! These were on my Landline. I have had a few on my cell but I think they were for the guy that had my # before me but I just Blocked the # I don't have call blocking on my Landline. I also got the IRS Scam calls too. I posted another one of these yesterday with the 25 calls I've received since I started keeping track of the numbers over the past several months now.

I've been receiving phone call messages on my mother's cell phone which no one should have that number especially with my name related to it l,claiming there looking for my where abouts , saying by law they can contact all references.
