6782536225

the same number just called me...and they never leave a message. I've even picked up before and told them that I am not interested and to take me off of their call list and place me on the DNCL. They still call.

This is just one number of MANY in an online telemarketing scheme for a fake college company. If you did a search for colleges online and put in your name and number, that's how they got your information. I'm pretty sure their ultimate goal is to get your SSN. Some guy named Darryl signed up using MY number, and now I get at least 5 harassing phone calls a day. Every time I answer, I ask them VERY politely to remove me from their list, and they always politely say that they will... then they call me from a DIFFERENT NUMBER the next time. I've found that if I answer with a harsh "HELLO?", then they hang up on me. Don't get paid enough to deal with angry victims, I guess. I think I'm going to have to change my phone number. If I could find this Darryl guy, I would probably kick his [***] and then go sign up HIS cell phone number to every telemarketing scam in the business.

I got the same sh*t for days and up to 3x per day; I called it back and option 1 is to be put on there "do not call" list and after 48 hrs you can talk to an actual person and it stops. I know it's a pain in the *ss but it has stopped since I talked to there manager and threatened to file suite.

whos number is this? everytime i pick up the person hangs up its very annoying when i find out who this is im gonna sue for harrassment calls started happening all of a sudden christmas eve 2009

They just called me and I picked up.The man who I talked to new my name.He said.......my name and the name of some kind of College I see that you are interested in medical field.That kinda was strange because I am studing to work in the medical filed.How do they know that???? I said No!!!!!! The apologize nad hung up!!!!  And Now I am wondering.......

they have called me twice today. They keep hanging up on me they just called.I'm worried =(

This number has to do with school, not a collection agency. It seems pretty ridiculous for people to be getting all upset and assuming it is a collection agency. Maybe there is a reson why some people think it is for a collection agency. Anyway, if you were seaching online and clicked on any pop ups for schools or looked at any schools websites, that would be how they got your phone #. And if you call the #, you do have the option to have the calls stop. It's really pretty simple.

They call me at least twice a day without saying anything or leaving messages; however i called back and took my number off their global calling list i suggest all of you do that same and chill the [***] out!

I don't answer calls that I don't know the number from... this one i picked up my mistake, but no answer.

it's a spam call "educationready.net"

I received this phone on my cell phone 5 times yesterday and i answered it all 5 times i got nothing. I even paid for my cell to be a private number. And yet the some people keep calling me. Here is the number:
678-253-6225
Kepp an out for this number.

I Called the # back it is College Connect, Inc, you can press 1 to get removed from the call list

This is a college information caller.  When I answered I got a recording saying it was a follow up to information I requested about school.

This number has called me numerous times in the last few weeks.  I called the number back from my office phone and received a recorded message stating that it was "College Connection".  I hung up, as I am already registered for this semester.  Ther are persistant, so I googled the number to see who it was registered to, and found this site.  I am glad I did not answer...

Also, my phone number is a pre-paid cell phone that they are calling.  I wonder if they are simply dialing through a computer generated system, or if they possibly somehow got contact information from my school records on-line?  I'm not sure.  but I also get numerous calls from 213-239-2897.  FYI

We got a similar call this evening on our cell--just dead air, no one there.  It's annoying (and illegal) to have to pay for a telemarketing call, but even worse when there's no one to yell at.

In case you're interested, College Connect is based in Oregon, actually, and its president is Steve Bodine (steve@collegeconnect.net, 503.544.9695 [sorry, only could find the "public" email/phone for CCI).  Their corporate HQ is at 9635 SW WASHINGTON ST, PORTLAND, OR 97225.

I bet Steve would like to hear your complaints directly.  Or perhaps you could complain to the colleges that use his service?

i recived that number also on my phone its one collegeconnection .com

The whole call is a scam, these people are trolls that have no life whatsoever. Somebody on welfare at home is getting bored, and tries to cause the working class havoc. I wish i could find this place, they would wish they never called anybody

Received 2 calls. Did not pick-up because I did not recognize the number. They left a message on second call. It was a call from the Leukemia Lymphoma Foundation, who I am a member of. They usually don't call a leave messages.

I got this number today, like 4 hours ago.. and guess what!! I got a phone call from this number, tooo!! by curiosity I googled and I got here!! what'the heck?

keep getting phone calls from this number also.  Wish they would stop calling.  Never applied for no college so they need to stop calling my number
