'This is ALW sourcing LLC, a debt collection company. By the law, we have to notify you that this is a debt collection company calling...', 'please call back today', 'call 8am - 1pm ET today' once a day for about 10days I got similar messages on my answering machine. I called back with recording machine again, and finally a lady answered, 'for security purpose, what is you last 4 digits on your social security number? you are the one who call, so tell the last 4 social security number', 'if you don't tell the number, we will keep calling every day'..
If I owe you anything, send it to me by mail. Don't harrass/threaten people. I have no reason to give out my personal information to anyone just because you ask.
It is a scam. I don't owe anyone any money and have perfect credit - no debts, and they keep calling me. I have told them numerous times that I am on the FCC do not call list and to never call me again, but they keep calling.
They are trying to get people to pay money that they don't actually owe.
Listen to Clark Howard's radio show for more information on how these scams work.
The number has been harrassing me on my cell phone for three months. I don't answer the phone and apparently on the voice message is looking for someone else. I don't want to change my number again.
If they are claiming you owe a debt after 7 years, their time has run out and cannot take action against you unless, you admiw it is yours and the time starts over again. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION. DO NOT VERIFY YOUT SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER> THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO HELP YOU. JUST TELL THEM TO REMOVE YOUR NUMBER.
same number 18883794884 been calling for the last 2weeks everyday every hour but I don't pick up the phone. I work at night, I don't have time for this not senses. I am 100% sure I don't own any money, my credit score is 800 and always pay on time. It must be a scam....
Have been getting the same message as Maria (,above October)for over a month now which I have never returned.. "any information received will be used for debt collection" soit is not my debt but apparently ALW assumes I know something about a person they are attempting to collect a debt. What they don't know about bill collection can probably fill a book...know that if I did have any information ALW would be the last, if even then, to get it. I have filed a compliant with the "donotcall" governmental agency, the State Attorney General Office (Tom Corbett) and the Federal Trade Commission.
We have gotten two cell phones and numbers from Virgin Mobile and within a day we have recieved a call from ALW on each phone! SO they must have some automated way to find out new numbers. Sounds totally illegal to me!
I had a call from 1888-379-4884 trying to collect money that I don't owe. I filed a complaint with the donotcall.gov. Do not give any personal information or verify anything over the phone. If they called you to collect a debt, they should have all your information, and it can be mailed to you. Their phone calls are being recorded and everything said. it can be be use against you.
I have been getting these calls and when I finally answered and spoke to the person and asked to be removed they were rude, obnoxious and ignorant. I asked for a name and address and they refused to tell me. She just said it will go in the dispute file.
Same thing as the other's...it has taken me a couple of week's to copy the number they leave to find who it belong's to...So now I know it is Bull. Thank you all for the information.
ALW calls me a few times a day as well. Every Saturday morning they call at 7:59 a.m.! They're calling me about zombie debt from 15 years ago! What they do is monitor your credit and when they see you're doing very well financially they harass the crap out you. ALW is a spin-off from NCO Group (the worst collection company out there). ALW is "minority owned" and provides jobs only to minorities in low-income communities. That's why they're so nasty... they're bottom of the barrel. www.alwsourcing.com/about.htm
This company ALW Sourcing LLC has been calling and leaving several messages for my husband. I called them to find out why they were calling..spoke w/a Keith Anderson and both times he put me on hold for a very, very long time. After researching this company on the internet and the RIP Off report...evidently they are not a legit company and uses old information from old debts, whether paid off or not to try to collect. Don't give out any personal information to this company. If they say you owe a debt have them put it in writing and provide you w/the original creditor information.
These people have been leaving messages with my mother-in-law every day for three months. I had no idea until last night! They use my maiden name, which I have not used for many years. I just researched this company and there are complaints about the all over the place. I've never given out my MIL's number for any purpose, nor has my maiden name ever been associated with her. This company is just one of many out to ruin us all.
Adavanced Caller ID with Ring Controller will block these collection call, and even do not let them leave a message. No phone ringing, no message. visit www.jfteck.com
I was getting calls from the same (866) telemarketing number. I now have peace. Call Blocking from my phone company did not work on 800 numbers-this did. I cancelled my Call Blocking and Privacy Manager service. This product will pay for itself in a few months.
