888-778-8213

Keeps calling my sons phone every day. Don't know what they want but am sending a Cease and Desist letter to them.

Southwest Credit Systems

I don't know who you are but you are eating into my minutes, so I would appreciate it if you would verify.  I received this number around 2 months ago.

Who the hell are you people and who would I owe any money to?

Has anyone tried to call them back and see what they want?  I just started getting calls from this number?

Please stop calling my number 901-758-1194 I do not know the person you are asking for Nelson.

WTH?! why they keep freaking calling? just stop calling

Constantly harasses me with multiple phone calls and voice mails that state:
"This is a very important personal message for:__________(every name is different).  Please contact Southwest Credit Systems at 888-778-8213 and gives a reference number."  
27233398 or 27232398 was today's winning reference number

The person has been calling for 6 months or something, we have lived in our house for a very long time and they Say the number very fast, i know it's a black woman and she sounds frusterated.  She ask fors Margret Mercado and says her name is Victoria from southwest credit.  I am not calling them back, sounds like a scam, sobs call me one more time and I'm going to go awall.

Southwest debt collections. They keep calling me and I keep telling them I have reported them for harrassment.

You are harrassing us and the person you are looking for does not even reside at our house any more.

a representative calls looking for former employee stating they need to call him TODAY-VERY IMPORTANT but does not tell why or who they represent-nice voice but very suspicious. Especially if employee has not worked here for weeks now.

By the way-their main account is for AT&T 6months or more past due accounts. AT&T- folks---- sells your name and 6 month or more past due accounts to these [***] and both split any recovery they receive. Once you answer you will be 'circulated in the system as home-' and the harassment will begin from 8am to 9pm cst or your time zone- never answer the call-let your answer machine take it. Owned and operated by former ATT employees who illegally collect your debt from their friends at ATT and then use it. thanks

I got a call from 888-778-8213 to my cell phone at extension 2339 about ref number 29114092.
A woman sounded with Hungarian accent who wanted me to call back.

Should I return the call ?

I received a call from a man name Godfrey and he mentioned that they are calling to collect a debt.  I only have 3 accounts that have already been paid off.  Who the hell are you people and why are you harassing me? Leave me the F*** alone!!!

They need to stop calling, they're saying that i owe them $121, and i already talked to ATT
and my balance is $0.????

Hey...... these people calling from INDIA, CHINA and other countries. where hundred of call centers are running for getting money by fraud from USA and UK citizens... ITS ALL SCAM...

How it runs..........(for debt collection)

It starts when people tries to get loan online, they fill all their personal detail on that sites and problem starts from this point. all your information is sold to collection agencies (call centers) at $4 to $6 / Person, whether you got that loan or not.

SO what actually they (Call Centers) do...

1. They have all of your information includes: your name, social security number, address, employment detail, 2 references and a detail of amount.( which you didn't get)

2. For dialing purpose call center gets USA or UK numbers. they calls through various softwares (like: ICALL). And have various phone numbers.

3.They hire college students or some people and prepare them to communicate with you. (training classes for getting a bit of American accent) and gives them fake names (American).

4. They makes a write up for leaving message to threaten you. like:-

"This message is intended for Mr. john (your name).  john the very second you receive this msg i need you or your retained attorney to call me back. the issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. my name is ..........., and i am calling from financial accountability association, my call back no. is 123456789, i am repeating this for you john 123456789, john don't disregard this msg and call me on my number back. if i don't get any call from you or from your attorney........ wish you good luck, bye"

5. If you pick up phones ...they will threaten you by saying... that federal govt or federal legislation  is going to pressing lawsuit against you and your social security number. and try to make you remember that you took a pay day loan and never paid it back... so it is very easy to threaten you by saying that "such company falling lawsuit against you for your unpaid loan".
( you don't know for which loan he/she talking about and try to remember your last 2- 3 loans (which you actually got and never paid)).  At this time you stuck in the situation.

(according to my perception you never know "how many loan you took in last 1 or 2 year"- sorry-- joking)

6. They will tell that you are charged against these allegations:-  1. Theft by deception 2. collateral cheque fraud

7. They will tell u that they have sent various mails to inform you but u never replied and that was the only way to communicate you.

8.They will ask u to write a Apologizing letter that “your intention was not bad and you never wanted to run away with that money & you want to fix that issue by paying ..... amount.”


how to avoid them...

1. By telling that you have an attorney (Both criminal and bankruptcy). give any number by saying "call to my attorney"... they won't call.
2. By telling that u know : Its ALL SCAM .......... they will hung up.
3. By telling that its not my social security number....... they will never call.
4.By asking for the date of loan taken (online)........ they can't help you in this matter (by which u can come to know about scam)

Don't be afraid.........They won't sue........

If this detail is helpful for you please copy paste this into other pages... don't be selfish.... and save other people from being fool.


My English is not so good.
I am an Indian........ all Indians are not same... you can send me mail for more detail:- jasusviju@gmail.com

IF YOU REALLY TOOK LOAN AND WANT TO PAY IT BACK THEN PLEASE VERIFY ALL DETAIL BEFORE PAYING ANYONE.........

Thanks and help people

Yes! I looked up the number when it started and realized that it was ATT collections agency however I haven't had an account with them in 6+ years. I called ATT and verified that I dont have any outstanding balances or that someone else opened account in my name  ATT said they would stop sending me notices/calling  We will see as it is now I receive at least one call a day from these idiots at Southwest Credit Systems   I hope it doesn't get worse  My advice is call ATT and check  do not give any info to Southwest

i'm getting the same phone calls and letters and i'm a current AT&T customer.  LOL!  i have my cell phones, internet, and uverse all through them.  if i were delinquent, would they have allowed me to open all these accounts?  i don't think so.

Got a voicemail on my cell phone just now with a recorded voice telling me I should call and gave the 888 number plus a file reference number. This call did not reference me by name or give any details about the nature of the call. I have no current debt other than my mortgage, which is through a local entity. If this is related to AT&T, I haven't been a customer in years. This is either a case of mistaken identity (I still get occasional calls for the previous owner of this cell number) or a scam.
