877-426-8022

this is a great way to block all those unwanted call's. your phone will ring once and stop

Chris Williams called and I don't know if it is a scam or not

Most likely a debt collector.  See the whocallsme site for 877-426-8022.  And most likely some kind of debt collection scam.
______________________
Please read and memorize the following:

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

autocaller and it was very loud but i picked up it is a debt collector to call another # but the volule drowned out the number.

I called them it's a  scam

they said debt collector but it instructs you to call another number...........doesn't make scence

Said it was a location and tracing efforts to locate my relative.  Call back whether or not I can assist.

Called me and an old roommate in an attempt to locate me. Claimed I owed a debt, but refused to provide written proof of the debt. Information given (dates, address, emails) of when and how debt was allegedly taken out did not line up.

Never identified who they were but wanted me to verify information.

does not leave a message

This number keeps calling my house looking for someone we don't know.

These people continue claiming they are trying to locate me .I don't owe anyone money other than my credit debt I am paying for.Daily calls and messages. It goes to voicemail daily.Very annoying!!I do believe it is a scam.

Debt collector scam. Threat was for someone I didn't know. Block these jerks.

These people call once every day. It's a recording stating "Rebecca" in a [***] voice stating they are seeking the where abouts of me. When you press "0", it will transfer you to someone live. They argued stating that they are not harassing and that I need to be a man. I don't owe any debts, my credit score is in the mid 700s. I'm really tired of these [***] calling. So why not keep calling these [***] back and scam them.

Called several family members and x husband about locating me and number is disconnected when call back. Scam
