800-254-9917

new phone number for me and keep gettting calls

Two or three times a week get a recorded message from a "collection agency" and asks to speak to "Lordy"

I got a call from this number: 1-800-254-9917. They started to ask too many personal questions so I decided to terminate the communication. Supposedly they are a collection company called Alliance One, but when I looked for this number on the webpage of the real Alliance One, that 800 number didn't show up. Was that a typical case of "PHISHING"?. Has anybody had a similar experience with this number?

Caller ID showed Unknown Name with the number. Recorded message indicating some kind of collection agency. We don't owe anybody anything so I think it's a scam and they're not really a collection agency, but identity theft scammers. Our number is unlisted and new so the only way they could have called us was with a blanket call to all numbers in a block. They don't know who they're calling in our case.

A most obnoxious scam.

This is a very valid number for Alliance One, A Debt Collection Agency.  If they are calling you and the person doesn't live there and you don't know the person, Tell them such.  If they call again, Ask for their complete address.  They are required to give this to you under the Fair Debt Collections Practices act.  Send the a certified Cease and Desist letter stating that they are not to call your number again.  They must abide by the letter.  If they fail to, they can be fined and you may possibly recieve compensation for the harassment.

Wrong number.

this number keeps calling us asking if we know someone who does not even work here.

I get regular calls (messages)  asking for a Preston Michael Wilson. No such person here and don't answer. Maybe a debt collector or just a scam.

constant calling a scam

Just because they are asking for someone you don't know doesn't mean it is a scam, at least not the call.  People who run up credit and know they aren't going to pay, give fake names, phone numbers, addresses etc.  Sometimes the numbers just get transposed when they are entered.  Not every call is a scam, just like caller IDs and phone numbers that come in aren't always what they appear to be.  We will be finding out why they are calling since we aren't behind on any bills but the caller gave the right name when they left a message.

Calling at night is very unprofessional. Also the person they were asking for doesn't live here.

Automated call. I sounds like a scam to me.

IT sounds like a scam.

Continual calls from 800-254-9917 .  I never answer because I have no dealings with them.  When do they give up??

from Seattle.  A computer voice skips my answering machine greeting and starts right in speaking.
It says it's collecting a debt, but won't say what it is.
