I gave my number on Craigslist and later that day they started calling me. Could that be a connection? I have no debt.

I get phone calls from this number and I want it to stop bothering me all the time

Or you can invest in a call blocker and not pick up on numbers you do not recognize.

I got a call at 8 pm at night looking to collect a bill for a corporation I own.  I questioned why they would call a personal cell phone number and referred them to the office number.  Very suspicious.  They called two more times.  I called back and asked WHO they purportedly were collecting from and they would not disclose it.  The time they called and I asked who they were calling on behalf of......they hung up on me.  We don't have delinquent bills - but there is always a chance that there is a random one, so I treat requests seriously.  Good credit is very important to me - but these guys seem totally illegimate,

NO MESSAGE NEVER CALLED

NO MESSAGE NEVER CALLED

This number keeps calling. When I answer and say hello, they hang up without ever saying a word. I added the number to my call reject list right before I googled the number and landed here. I have NEVER called the number back and I don't plan to. The way I see it, if I call them then it could potentially hurt me in the long run showing a call record of ME dialing THEIR number.

Hate this caller soooo annoying.

Left message on my VOIP number. I don't owe anyone anything. Not sure if it is a scam, but I am not calling back. I will be adding it to my Ooma Blacklist.

I just got a call from a female at this # which has been calling for weeks. I got dead air tell I screamed in the phone" stop calling " then a women asked for my name first and last I respond yes. She says she is collecting a debt for utility bill then said its for a address in SC and I live in NY. I said its fraud she agreed but wants to verify my d.o.b which she knew then my last 4 of s.s. Which she had right. she said she would mark it as fraud but I should call the company. I asked when was the account closed she said 12/09/14. Now for the shady part I called and 18884920011 the auto service offers me a trip to the islands then as I did not respond just keeps offering me things? I already have bad credit and no bank accounts so I hope you weren't planning on getting anything but rejection the credit card you found information on was a prepaid green dot with $10 on it. I was a debt collector in the past this is a scam period.

We have NO DEBT whatsoever and this number repeatedly calls. I don't believe this is a legitimate debt collector as everyone else reporting here has no debt as well. This must be some type of criminal fraud operation trying to subvert information from unsuspecting victims. This dangerous number is now blocked.

Ive been getting the same!! Its annoying. I wish there was a way to know if its legit. I called back and after going thru prompts it disconnected. Then I googled and called the number posted and hit 0 for customer service and got a voicemail.
URGGHHH

Just received call from this company looking for someone with the same name as me that lived in another city.  Wanted me to verify an address.  Told him I never lived there and then he wanted me to verify the last 4 digits of my social security number.  I would not answer and he got very nasty.  When I asked who he was with he answered CBE and when I asked
if that was a collection agency he just answered they conducted calls for a variety of personal business matters.  If they are a scam/fraud outfit and have access to several people with the same name and trying to get your social security number by process of elimination......beware.

LEFT NO MESSAGE, BUT HERE IS MY MESSAGE TO THE ROBOTIC MORON WHO CALLS.
YOUR CALL IS BLOCKED WITH MY CALL-BLOCKING PANASONIC PHONE.  AND GUESS WHAT ÀЅЅΗΘĻЄ, NO RING WHEN YOU CALL BACK!  WE WILL EVENTUALLY WIN.  JUST IMAGINE IF 300 OF YOU CREEPS CALLED 100 NUMBERS EACH AND NOBODY ANSWERED?  ASSUMING NO DUPLICATED NUMBERS, THAT’S 30,000 PHONES THAT ARE NOT ANSWERED!  (I KNOW YOU CAN’T DO THE SIMPLE MATH.)  SO WHY DON’T YOU GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND FINISH YOUR 4TH-GRADE EDUCATION?
THEN, GET A REAL JOB.

This number has called me now four times today and each time they hang up after 12 seconds. Nobody is ever there. 4 times in one day, isn't that harassment?

I have been receiving several calls from this number no message left n when I do answer no one is on the other end. I have never received any letters from them so I guess if they want me to pay for something they neef to send me a demand payment notice.

Calls about once a week. Does not leave message.

They call here a couple times a day and when I tell them I am her power of attorney and they need to talk to me they hang up.

Dear Bottom Feeder,
You rang again? Sorry I did not hear it, because I blocked your call 4 calls ago with my Panasonic phone system.
But I do want to offer you a powerful greeting: FÛÇK ÝOU.
Even if I did answer, I do not talk to scumbags.
