844-290-7031

Caller claimed to be a debt collector offering to settle my debt now over the phone, so they wouldn't be coming to get me at my place of employment.
I don't owe anyone anything, but apparently they pulled my phone numbers off a credit application years ago.

I've had this mobile number for over 10 years and over the past 2 years I continue to get automated calls trying to collect a debt for a someone I don't know. I even went to the trouble of "speaking to a representative" and kindly asked them to remove my number. Think that made a different?

has called for 4 years!!!!

They keep calling, calling, calling.
The message says call back about some claim number.
No company name or other details given.
Smells like some sort of scam.

Keep getting calls from this debtor collector for something that is not mine. When I blocked the number, they all from another number.

SCAMMERS! They keep calling saying they will have the sheriff at my place of work. I block the # - then they call from another #. Annoying. This is illegal!

Keep getting calls from this company for Mary Ann xxxx about a case number.  These calls started in October 2015 and I advised at that time that they needed to do another skip trace since I had this number for over 15 years.  It is now March and I just told them I was getting a lawyer for cease and desist.  When asking for business name and address they hung up on me 3 times.  The 4th time they gave me a name of Search & Recovery.  They "assured" me my number would be removed.  I do not believe it

scam. trying to collect debt not even mine

somebody is calling every morning with a claim number

These people keeping me, with a claim number and nothing else, and also keep using different number, I have filed bankrupt a while back and been advise by my lawyer not to even respond to the calls, if you call them back they will not stop, I been scam once but not no more, what a scam racketeer

Called my cell phone with a claim number for my ex husband, I have been divorced for 17 years and remarried 4 years ago. I have had this number for approximately 2 years.

Kept getting calls from 844-290-7031 or some variation of that number, asking for someone with the same last name but not the same first name.  It's an automated call.  I finally called them back and got a real person, and asked them the name of the company.  t told them to stop calling me and that I knew they were fraudulent.  They hung up.  I called them back again and got some guy named "Mark" and he said that it was First Recovery Debt and that they were in FL.  I told him I knew they were a fraud.  He just said no they weren't and have a nice day and hung up on me.  How could they even get my #???  Annoying!!

844-290-7031  automated with last name first....keep calling 3 times a day everyday....

Calls about settling a debt.  We have no debt.  They call constantly for years.  Have reported them on the Do Not Call Registry (we are on it).  Doesn't help.

They too said that they would have the sheriff come get my wife,,,, I said good,, when do you need her to be ready??  I said that I needed a break,, so please tell when the sheriff is coming???  They were freaked out,,, I had some much fun just messing with them, they just were speechless,,, I just love messing with these scammers,,LOL

I got so tired of this number calling, I finally answered to see what they want.

IT IS A SCAM.   They make up false debts and threaten legal action.

But wait!  They are such nice people they are willing to settle for a fraction of the amount.  Just hand over your credit card information now.

Apparently there are enough naive and easily frightened people out there that they get away with it and keep doing this.

When they yell,  "See you in court," reply, "When I see you in court, you'll be the one going to prison for scamming people."

This was really funny!  I seriously just laughed out loud!

Try your best to ignore the calls or block them. Advise them that the FBI has an investigation on them and they are listening to their calls. Tell them to cease communication with you or anyone else. Any legal collector must provide certain details and cannot withhold certain information. These scam artist are just full of it and will not provide details but will give a fax number. I have told them to file a law suit and this is since October 2015 yet they have not. SCAM all over it.

I dealt with these jokers a few months ago when they called my mother, grandmother, and my employer looking for me and when they asked not to be contacted. They told my family members that I was in a severe car accident and they were medical staff seeking information but claimed that by law they could not tell them which hospital. I was not in any accident. They called the next day and claimed to be the police to my employer and told 2 random people who answered the phones that I committed multiple felonies for check fraud.

I called them several times and was told that they were a collection agency after verifying who I was. They said I received a cash loan for $2500. When I asked when they said sometime in 2013. When I asked what month and date I was advised they could not give that out. When I asked which bank it was deposited into. they said Bank of America, however, I have been with a Credit Union for about 10-years now. I asked them to mail me proof that I signed a contract for a loan and proof that it was deposited . They said they would only email it. That never happened. I checked all folders including Spam. Nada.

Days later, my grandmother received a call from these jokers claiming to be with the National Government for Fraud Investigations and that my family members would be arrested for harboring a fugitive (ME). Now, hold on. I have my BS.MS in Criminal Justice and Criminology with 12 years law enforcement experience and I am a former Criminal Investigator and in the past, I worked with the Secret Service on Check Fraud cases, I have never been arrested or charged with a crime!

I asked for supervisors and supposedly, they said those employees who lied about their credentials would be fired. Yeah right, The calls continued. Eventually, I blocked their phone number.

About an hour ago, I received a call from a cousin because he was annoyed with calls by these people. He gave me the same 844 area code and So, I called and the first person I spoke with; I said that I received a phone call from someone who has the same last name but not related (trying to get them to leave my cousin alone). I then asked what is this regarding. She spoke very little English. I gave her the claim number 3xs before hanging up on her because she kept reading the numbers back incorrectly.

I called back and said the same about someone with the same last name receiving calls about me (to help him from having to deal with this). The woman said it was regarding a loan that I received which i denied receiving. The company she mentioned I never heard of and then she said they own hundreds of companies (un hun). I asked which of the 100 is it that I supposedly took a loan from? She said there was no supposedly but that I had. I asked which company and she read off like 10 companies. I asked which of them and she said it doesnt show on her end. Yeah, sure!

I asked when was the loan taken and she said that I received it in 2013. I asked her to narrow it down to the month and date and she said she was not at liberty to provide me with that restrictive information. (Whatever)! I asked which bank and she said it was deposited into my Bank of America account. I said I never had a BOA account. She asked if I was calling her a liar and I said YES! She went on to say she has proof that I received a loan to a BOA acct with my personal information and she read off my SS#. I am thinking Identity Theft. I said I have been using the same bank for nearly 10-years and not BOA! She told me I was lying because according to her records they have my credit reports which shows 9 loans with BOA. First of all, why do they have my credit report; secondly, those were private student loans with the last taken out 2007. Looks like these scammers are pulling credit reports and skimming through any prior loans. When I had those loans, I still did not have a BOA account number. I asked for a supervisor and she hung up on me.

I called back and went though the same sh#! again. This time, when I asked for proof to be mailed to me of the deposit and the alleged BOA account #, month, day, and year, only then would I take any action. This woman also asked (I think I got the same person) if I was calling her a lair when she said info was mailed out 2-years ago. I said ABSOLUTELY! She said she didnt appreciate me accusing her of lying. I said I really did not care and began raising my voice. I asked for a supervisor and she went on to say the loan was for $5000 with a total of $9300.29 in late fees and collection fees but I could settle this right now over the phone for $500 but only via Western Union. -- because that doesnt sound like a bunch of BS! I demanded to speak with a supervisor and the woman said, "No. I will not transfer you to a supervisor, you are a very mean person and I want you off my phone immediately!" -- WTH! If she cant deal with upset customers especially those who feel scammed and over a company who lies about who they are to friends and family members of those they are trying to reach, then she is in the wrong business. Once again, I demanded a supervisor and she said that I was being a 'Meany" and that she didnt appreciate my tone. I told her that I didnt  care if her feelings were hurt and that I wasnt going to pay a single dime until I receive proof. She said she would not send any more and that in order to avoid court and prison time that I needed to pay the settlement of $650. I asked what happened to the $500 and she said it went up due to my attitude. SAY WHAT??

I said,"You know what, take me to court." She said are you sure you really want to go to jail when I lose and pay over $10,000 in fees including attorney fees? I said, "Yes! I would like my day in court!" I asked where court would be and she said NY. I said I am in Missouri and court does not require state by state travel by defendants. She ask, "Josh, why do you think you are better knowledge than me? Are you a lawyer?" I was like, you know what, just give me a dam supervisor and she said, "No. We dont have anyone who would want to talk with you until you learn the meaning of respect and phone edicacy. I said I would just call back until I get a supervisor and she had the nerve to tell me that repeated phone calls by me is against the law as harassment. She hung up. I tried calling back several time but not I keep getting a busy signal. Looks like they have now blocked me.

SCAM! SCAM!
