8663293564

These scumbags just called me at 8:33pm EST.

Just got the call as well. Annoying that they call during dinner...

THIS IS A COLLECTION AGENCY WHO GETS HIRED OUT BY DEBT BUYING COMPANIES.  THOSE COMPANIES HAVE THE PROOF OF THE DEBT.  IF YOU DON'T GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT, YOU CAN BE SUED BY THEM.  I KNOW, I WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT USES TAKHAR COLLECTIONS.  ITS NOT A SCAM NO MATTER HOW RUDE OR UNPROFESSIONAL THEY ARE.

I keep receiving the same call. When I answer the phone it just says it's the Takhar group and for me to please return the call. When I called back nobody answered. I had a different number it is 1-866-408-8299.

They call non stop asking about a debt

I get calls from this "unknown" number about once each week.  (On my work cell phone.)  Got my first message today, the automated message apparently started early.  "329-3564... you must call back before 5:02 pm EST.  You're reference number is tc5041 and this is to discuss your interoffice file."

For reference... Once you've asked them to stop calling, it really is against the law for them to call you back.  I'm not going to invite trouble to my work phone and call back, but if any of you have requested that they remove you from their call list to no avail, I'd suggest discussing the number with an attorney.

I just spoke with AT&T about this, and it sounds like the courts can subpoena "unknown" call records to find out where these are really coming from.  Class action anyone?

They have been calling my house 5-7 times a day asking for my husband. He was finally there when they called and was told he owed BMG since 2004, whicj is ridiculous. Do they ever give up?

i got a call from them also,it was left on my answering machine.the first part of the message was not there so i dont even know who they are looking for.the number was 1-866-408-8299

Recvd call from Jim Austin, with high indian accent. Said, he will report my bal of $53 with BMG to credit agencies. Kept asking for bank and credit card info. Advised him to send me a bill who said, he can't do that because they, Takhar Collection Service, do not do that. He will have his supervisor send e-mail instead. Still waiting... Might have to call BMG to get to the bottom of this.

Just got 2 calls in a row from an UNKNOWN number.  A message was left saying that I needed to call 866-329-3564 to discuss my file.

Getting calls from the same company.  They say on the message I reported a claim with TDC.  Do I look stupid? LOL. THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!

This is definatly a scam I have been recieving calls as well from someone at PGC about an unsettled claim. These calls are blocked. These people are trying to get information in order to steal identities and unknown to you the whole time you are on the phone you are probably being charged a rate of $2+ a minute. I wouldn't even answer. Hopefully the calls will subside in time. Good luck everyone.

Hey 'Pay Your Debts'.....suck my balls scumbag loser.
'THIS IS A COLLECTION AGENCY WHO GETS HIRED OUT BY DEBT BUYING COMPANIES.'
>>Not necessarily. They can also buy out of statute debt and try to pin it on any sucker they think they can.  

'THOSE COMPANIES HAVE THE PROOF OF THE DEBT.'
>>Then why are you calling people who have no outstanding debt if you have proof [***]? Please, you bought out of statute debt for pennies on a dollar. The alleged original creditor is nowhere in the picture and you have very limited information if any at all.  

'IF YOU DON'T GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT, YOU CAN BE SUED BY THEM.'
>>Bring it on loser. I would love for you to file a frivolous lawsuit.......it will actually make me money.  

'I KNOW, I WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT USES TAKHAR COLLECTIONS.'
>>No, you work FOR the Tahkar scammers. Again, the alleged original creditor is no longer in the picture  

'ITS NOT A SCAM NO MATTER HOW RUDE OR UNPROFESSIONAL THEY ARE.'
>>It's a huge scam.

I get the same, in the past 2-3 months I must have received about 20 voice mails from the same recording claiming it is TDC about a claim placed with their office and asking for the tel: they are calling, which I'm clueless as 3-4 numbers ring in the same spot.
I say if they had info they'd ask for a name and not leave a generic message.  If they call me with my name or other personal info I recognize I respond, otherwise tuck them!

I have been receiving calls from this telephone number for the past month on my cell phone.  When I answered the call one time, I was harrassed by an Indian gentleman claiming that I owed $57.28 to Columbia House.  I never ordered anything from Columbia House.  When the guy started screaming at me, I hung up and called Columbia House and they couldn;t tell me what I ordered....this is a total scam.....

Call me few times a day from unknown number, i had enough so i pick up.
Spoke with "Kevin or Calvin" with India's (or that region) accent. told me that i have bill that i haven't pay for $30.76 from BMG dated back 2006. I don't recall have account with them, and they request to pay right away with my credit card.
I ask to sent me the bill by mail they said they can't do it.
I asked them to email me, and from the email, i can tell this is very unprofessional company if not bogus/scam company.
Watch out, do research first.

these people outsource their business to India.they are Indians calling us all the way from India & they are given American names..so the personal/payments info. which you give them ,,travels all the way to India..
BEWARE OF THEM..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got calls from this number for 6 times now, but I haven't called back. I'm from a foreign

country and not an American (I stay in the U.S. for short term business). I decide to search

the number on the net before I call back, so I have read your comments. From my

experience in my country, this is a call to confirm your personal data such as credit card

number, social security number, home address and etc so they can use it to make some

bad things (make fake IDs, or stole money from your credit card). If you ask me, I would

suggest you not to call back and tell the telecom company to block calls from this number.

Regards.

They called at 9:06 a.m. on Saturday morning (labor day weekend) it came up as "unavailable" so I didn't answer it. A voicemail on my cell phone that was 1/2 missing (they probably do that to incite curiosity) said call us back on (left number) to discuss your file in our office between 11:30-8:30 p.m. Yet they called me at 9:06 a.m. STUPID!!

I got this call today at work.  I didn't even give these clowns the chance to talk to me.  I don't know who they are and quite frankly don't care.  I'm sure it's a scam.  Best advice is to ignore them.
