877-251-9648

this number calls my cell number and hangs up before i can answer.  when i call it back, it goes straight to a recording telling me they may "record my call for training purposes, etc." without divulging who they are.  eventually, a girl picked up, but i couldn't tell what she said and i just hung up.

this number was left on my answering machine saying it was from "FMA Alliance" and that it was not a solicitation.  the alternate number for "local" (houston area i'm assuming from the area code, but they neglected to mention this) was 281-670-1540.

This number called and it's a message from "FMA Alliance" with an important business proposition for the responsible party of the household.  They better QUIT calling, I'm on the no call list.  Anyway, they also have a Houston (local) number at 281-670-1540.

said to call 877-251-9648 or local 281-670-1540 m-t 8-7pm fri 8-4:30pm

harassment, calls daily doesn't leave any detail, said sollitation but is collection debt agency, very aggressive and was told not to call back.

these people are stupid, they keep calling and leaving msgs. and they have even called family members trying to get a hold of you. When i talk to them they give me the name of the company but they can never tell me were the claim orignated from. like a department store or credit card....they r stupid

I just returned a call to this number 877-251-9648 and was told they are a collection agency. THe problem is that they are calling my 13 year old son's cell phone and he is not responsible for any debts. They leave a message for a Douglas W. Bennovitch or something that sounds like this last name. When I called the first time the lady on the other end would not tell me who they are with and instead asked me for some personal information. When I refused, she just hung up the phone. I called back and spoke with a man the second time who identified himself as Roy and he was working for a collection agency. WHen I gave him my son's cell number, he stated that the debtor Douglas had given it to them as a contact number. HE informed me he had removed the number from his database and we should receive no more calls.

This was left on my home phone to call. My number is not listed ANYWHERE. Especially since the phone isn't in my name and I just obtained the number a month ago. Those bottom feeders get your information by going in your credit report illegally and putting a hard inquiry to bring down your score!

This number is from a collection agency.  I am not aware of any other company that uses them expect for Texas Children's Hospital.  They call me monthly to make sure that I am going to send in my agreed apon monthly payment.  They, unlike other collection agencies, do not report the collection to the credit reporting companies.  They are nice with me on the phone, not like others I have experienced.

I have just gotten my new number from T-Mobile. Calls and VoiceMails are being received daily for an Old owner MS. Claudia Garcia.

Our toll free number is (877)251-9640. We are a motorcycle parts distributor. We get calls all the time from pissed off people wanting to tear our heads off for calling them all the time.
I asure you, "IT IS NOT US" !
Obviously FMA Alliance hires moronic idiots at a call center that can't tell an eight from a zero. If I get one more call from a pissed off mother who's daughter has received 200 calls from these [***] I'm going to board a plane for Houston and rewire their phone lines myself.

I keep getting calls from this number and before I can pick up they hang up.

I never answer the call when this number appears on my phone; however, they always leave the same message.  "This message is for the adult consumer in the household.  If you are not the adult consumer then please hang up.  There will be a three second pause and at that time we assume you are the adult consumer."  Then they ask for a call back and it concerns debet and anything said during the call will be recorded.  

They never mention any names (mine or their) so I'm honestly not sure who it is or what they want.  They just keep calling every day!  I don't want to answer as I don't want to be placed on list that can be sold.

Same message as most of these... my hubby gets them on his cell also.

We got call from this number daily, the recorded message saying for adult houshold only.  It is a severe harrasment!

KEEPS CALLING OUR HOUSE REGARDING A CHASE VISA ACCT THAT ISNT OURS...TOLD THEM TO REMOVE OUR PHONE NUMBER FROM THE LIST.

These people would call ten, fifteen, twenty times a day sometimes. They would fill my callnotes to point to where I couldn't get the messages that I needed from work or my elderly parents. I couldn't understand the man who kept calling me. He sounded hispanic and said I needed to call him right away about an important business matter. That it was for my benefit and that I only had a limited amount of time. Finally I did call him back and I could not understand him. It sounded like he was asking me about roaches, or if I had roaches. At first I thought it was some kind of prank but then he put another woman on the line and they were looking for someone with a last name of Haroches. I told him that he had reached the Van Merritt family and to update their records, that they were calling the wrong number/family. They thought I was lying at first, but then apologized and said they would update their records and stop calling. These people were very unfriendly and pushy to the point to I was about to tell them off.

They kept calling my phone and I finnally called them back and asked why they kept calling my number and they said they were looking for a gal named Michelle with the same last name as mine. I think they just go thru a list of last names in an area where they have a debtor and call EVERYONE with that last name hoping to connect with the right person!The agent I talked to couldn't understand why I was upset at receiving calls for a person I have no possible connection with.This agency should be heavily fined for this shotgun approach to collection.
