8888404370

Received calls late last year up to about March 2019 from this caller, sometimes identified as "Professional Placement Service", sometimes left no message.
They are starting up again with caller ID "PPS"  left no message this time. Suspect a debt collector call for someone else.
Very annoying, they don't seem to know who they are trying to reach.

Called as Professional Placement Services.  When called back they stated I owed money on something I never bought!!

New unlisted number for a good 6 months now. No calls from these people until today." This is Professional Placement Services, We are a debt collector and need you to call us back at 1-855-777-0317. " Call number on caller ID shows as 1-888-840-4370 and name as Toll Free Call. Never said who they were calling for or reason. Just call them back. Had number changed to unlisted number because of these jerks in the past now they got this number and start leaving messages. Told them before They had wrong party but they just keep trying to suck money from you. Don't owe you jerks nothing!

So, you changed your number and are now getting calls again?  You must have given that number out to someone otherwise there would be no reason to have a phone.  You no doubt had to change you number with your utilities and creditors in which case it is on your credit report.  Now, had you taken the time to correctly tell them "not me" you would have never needed to do any of that.

Says trying to collect a debt.  Leaves a different call back #, 855-Xxx-xxxx

This is Professional Placement Services, We are a debt collector and need you to call us back at 1-855-777-0317. " Call number on caller ID shows as 1-888-840-4370 and name as Toll Free Call. Never said who they were calling for or reason. Just said to call them back.  I do not have any unpaid debts and they call at least once or twice a week and the other day it was 2 times in the same day !!!!  I am tired of this...it has been going on for at least a year and it is definitely a ROBO CALL because I tried to talk and it keeps on talking !!

Here they go again. I didn't answer. No message left.

Robocall. Identify themselves as professional placement services then collecting a debt . I have no debt. They call constantly.

They wanted me to verify my dob and I asked the lady. She said she could not tell me why unless I gave her my dob. I asked her why was she calling and what company she was with. She said again that she could not give me that information until she could verify my dob. She told me she would call back at a later date... I told  her I still will not give her that information unless she told me the nature of her call.

This number has been calling me for 1 year usually at least once a day, it is a collection agency, I do not owe anyone money, nor never have.  I have never answered a call from this number and never will.

A real bill collector in Wisconsin is restricted to certain hours to call. I believe no calls past 9pm. I just got another attempt her at 12:07 AM. That's right! MIDNIGHT! I have them blocked but my phone still notifies me and keeps track. Very Unethical. Time to report!

The usual annoying robocall that I owe money to a debt collection service . I owe no one any thing ! How do I get them to stop this harassment ?

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt, and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two or more federal and state agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.  If and when you get that letter you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Thank you so much for putting your message online. It really made me

I appreciate you taking time to share your story. I almost really thought i owed them money . you all just saved me a lot of heart ache and loss of money. So thanks again.

Numerous calls from this number, never leaves a message.  So sick of it.

Scam debt collector.

Keeps calling but won't leave a message.  I have answered and they hang up every time I answer.  I get multiple calls for a Victor, which is not me as I am a female.  They call starting at 3pm and will call multiple times until 10 or 11pm.  Absolutely ridiculous.

They're still trying. It makes you wonder, if I didn't fall for the scam 3 months ago, why would I fall for it today?
