877-402-3687

stop texting me and do not charge my phone

This number was attached to multiple text messages from 236-87.  Was connected to an "IQ Test" on FaceBook that listed several friends as participants.  There are fraud reports of the number and scam that bills your wireless carrier for $9.95 a month.  Appears that they use your response to establish a monthy account for some type of game.  Other fraud report sites indicate charges on cell bill for "Premium Text" or auction, etc.  Contact wireless carrier and block bill or have them deman refund.

Got 3 in a row from this number, spaced exactly 5 minutes apart.

Possibly skimmed off KGB (knowledge generation bureau), as that is the only thing I've used this phone number to txt for any sort of txt based service.

Same thing as Zach above except I have never used KGB. My number is listed on Monster.com, Careerbuilder and I think one other job board.

Had the same problem as Mo did. I let them know in an email that I wanted my money back before i let IC3 or another government agency know about their practices

STOP SMS me on my cell

STOP Text me  and don't charge me

This is SOLOW - A game based on the internet or cell that charges $9.99 a month if you get suckered into signing up inadvertently. SOLOW.COM for more info

text the words stop, end, cancel, or unsubscribe to the number it sends you if you want to get off the list

I called Tmobile and they told me to do send a text to just 23687 and simply put stop as the message.  

Said something like the 23687 in their code number and the text is reassurance for Tmobile to tract these calls if they reoccur because federal guidelines state the calls must stop once the text has been sent back.  They also credited my account.

I did not subscribe to anything and I got a $9.99 charge from this number AND they charged me ANOTHER $9.99 to take me off their list!

I've gotten several of these in a row on my prepaid Straight Talk phone. I just got this phone less than a week ago. I haven't subscribed to anything. Going to call Straight Talk and see what they say. I've tried all the STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, etc and it just sends a duplicate of the original message.

stop texting me immediately.  place me on your national do not call list. voilation will result in a possible fine

they charging me 9.99

dont call me any more i dont know you or your company . charges will be filed against you.

I may be able to help you all get your money back.  My wife and I went through the same thing just this very week.  When you call your carrier to ask them what the "premium text message" is, they will tell you that they can only direct you to the website of the "program" that you signed up for.  Well, as we all know, that "program" is not a legitimate service that you signed up for, and it is offered by Solow.com.  Well, if you go to their site, and look all over, they only offer email communication, or a single phone number.  When you call this number, you choose your carrier and are directed straight to voicemail.  I left an EXTREMELY angry message informing them that they had 24 hours to respond, offering me a full refund, or I would:

1. Contact the State Attourney General.
2. File a fraud charge with the FCC through Verizon and
3. Retain an attourney and take them to small claims court.

They promptly contacted me back and offered me a full refund, as well as the secret, unpublished number that you can call to actually speak to a real person...

1-877-373-6363.

Again, that gets you to a line where you can SPEAK TO A REAL PERSON!!!  Simply choose your carrier, then press ZERO to speak to a real person.  The woman that answered with me told me that she would only be able to give me back $9.99, rather than the full $29.97, which I believe is just part of the "script" that the call center representatives read.  I told her that was unacceptable, and that they would be issuing me a full refund immediately.  She put me on hold for about 2 minutes, then came back on and took down all of my information to mail me a check for the complete amount: $29.97.  I hope that this helps you all, and PLEASE, spread the actual customer service number around as much as you can so that we can overload their call center and force them to hire more people, thus making this business practice no longer profitable.

Thank you!

Also if any of you are receiving bills and phone calls from Collection agencies/Debt Collectors: Please read:

Debt Collectors – Collection agency’s do NOT fall under Do NOT Call registry, as they are not telemarketers.  However, they do constantly violate other Federal Laws, because us American's don't know the laws to protect us.  They are counting on that.  

- Federal Law says you don't have an obligation to Collection Agencies or Debt Collectors; you can send them a written letter and they cannot contact you after that.   This includes Attorney's in state's other than your state of residence.  The only Attorney's that can sue you, have to be licensed in your resident state.

A word of caution:  Some Law Firms do have Firms in other states, and Lawyers licensed in other states, so you have to do a little research before sending a Cease & Desist (Do Not Call & Go Away letter) to make sure they aren't in your resident state or you're likely to get sued by these #%#&*@!#%&@$^*.  

Once a debt collector makes contact with you, they also have to contact you within 5 days after the first phone call, letter etc., and give you validation/proof or judgment of the debt.  You are not required to ask for it.   They never do this!!!!

This law is known as the Fair Debt Collector Practices Act.  You can get it at FTC.gov; as well as other Consumer Protection Laws.

Most collection agencies, purchase your delinquent debt for pennies on the dollar.  Guess what? It is no longer your debt!!!  You don't have any agreement/contract with the debt collector or collection agency.  Your only agreement/contract was with the original creditor.

Do NOT agree to any payment arrangements, or you'll be creating an agreement/contract, where upon initial contact by the Debt Collector, one didn't exist.  The collection agencies are counting on you not knowing this little bit of information.  

The best advice I can give you is, do NOT talk to these idiots - they will leave you in a frustrated heap on the floor.  They lie, and will tell you whatever they need, in order to get you to commit to paying them. The lies are illegal, but they honestly don't care, they're probably on commission for how much they collect from you and others like you.  

If you do answer the phone, do NOT give out your employer, social security #, DL #, Credit Card and/or Bank information, or any personal information.  Tell them to send you a written statement & you'll respond. Then hang up.  When you get that statement, google, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and you'll probably find a letter you can send them.  Or simply tell them not to call you again, as you are exercising your rights and putting them on notice, per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Laws.  Sign and mail that letter Certified Mail, so you have a signature and confirmation of delivery!!!


For the Calls to Stop, The request HAS to be in WRITING and sent Certified Mail!!!  The cost for Cert. mail is approx. $5.50, but you'll get a signature and date returned on the green card!  Keep track and Log all calls, and you can sue them for $1,000.00 each violation per the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.  Again I am not an Attorney, but I have fought two Debt Collector Lawsuits on my own.  The calls are coming from Genpact Services LLC.  After you send them the following letter - Certified Mail, you will get calls again and eventually a demand/letter from a company called NARS at 866-315-4860.  Google that number and I'll enclose information there so you can send the same letter as follows.  Be sure to put in your own personal information where asked for (name address, etc. and Date) and the phone no. you are being called on at the X's in the body of the letter.

RE: Account #’s:  

Amount in Dispute:  

To Whom This May Concern:

I am in receipt of your demand for payment.  However, this Notice is to confirm that I do not wish to be contacted again by you, and that you are hereby put on Notice to Cease Communication pursuant to 15 USC Section 1692c(c).  Failure to comply with said Notice, shall result in a complaint filed and submitted to the Federal Trade Commission, and possible legal remedies in appropriate United States Courts.

Your representatives have also been trying to contact me,  however, I only do business of this nature via mail. Therefore, I am requesting again, that you cease and desist from calling me or contacting us in any way.   Please remove the phone numbers XXX XXX-XXXX. The calls constitute harassment at this point, which is causing a major disruption, in both my business and personal life as well as, being an invasion of my privacy, which I will not tolerate.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, which branched from United States Code Title 47 sect 227, implemented a do-not-call list from solicitors, which mandates a solicitor to abate phone calls to customers who have requested in writing, to cease all phone communication.  If you continue to contact me, I will file a complaint with the Attorney General, FTC, BBB and FCC, as well as refer to our Legal Dept. for further remedies per our Federal/State rights.

Complaints have already been filed with our Attorney General and FTC for Federal and State Law violations, including but not limited to, multiple calls per day and calls received on weekends and holidays, as well as other violations documented.

In addition, PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT, I am not waiving my right, to dispute the alleged debt asserted herein, but at this time I am under no obligation to respond as a result of (GE Money Bank’s) default.

Sincerely,

In the Law of Novation: if a debt is purchased by another, for that to be a legal owed obligation, a new contract / agreement has to be written and signed by all parties.  Google Law of Novation and read up!!!

No I am not an attorney, just a well knowledged, educated consumer.  I have spent the past 2 years studying various Federal Consumer Protection Laws.  

I wasn't just satisfied knowing I could send a letter to a Collection Agency/Debt Collector and they had to go away.  I read that in the Fair Debt Collector practices Act law;  I needed to know why, what law tells me the reason why I can.

Everything I have typed, I have learned basically on my own through reading, studying, printing out and binding the laws and underlining/highlighting them.  Not to mention the knowledge I have gained on my own fighting two lawsuits without an Attorney.

I was sued by a Collection Agency, and waiting for a Court date. The Collection Agency Attorney, sent us a letter willing to dismiss with prejudice our lawsuit, if I dismiss our Cross/Counter Claim for Fair Debt Collector Practices Act violations.  Oh, I forgot to mention, we do not have an Attorney representing us; and I have not had any legal experience, in the past whatsoever.

I have read / printed & bound, my State's Rules of Civil Procedure and Rules of Civil Procedure - Evidence.  I catch Attorneys on violations of State Rules of Civil Procedure all the time.  And our Judge's let them get away with it.

And for those of you who say pay up and quit being a deadbeat; it appears that you have never had your life turned upside down, because a good job, not high paying by any means, but a supposed secure job, got your hours cut by 3/4.  

And then a couple years later, as you are just recovering, you lose that job.  And when you are in your 50's, a new job is not so easy to come by.  And when that happens, then what?  

Or what about a major illness, guess you've never had that either - too bad.  Maybe if you did, you'd understand why and how people end up getting in financial straights. Not because they chose to, or decided they were going to find loopholes to get out of paying obligations etc.

What if the money isn't there to pay these debts to begin with?  We've been barely able to pay a mortgage, let alone credit cards etc. It's easy to tell someone else what to do.  I hope someday, something throws your secure little world off its axis, and you find yourself in the very situation as some of us here. Maybe then you'd learn it isn't such a cut/dry situation.

Oh, we've struggled.  And the job last hasn't exactly been replaced.  We're still behind in our Mortgage and trying to catch up, as with our other legal obligations.  I can't work because of various health conditions, or I would, including a part time job at least.  My husband started his own company with the tools of the trade, and now contracts for copier, computer, IT technical jobs as he has a computer science degree, and has years of experience in the others, especially the wide format copier / printers / computers.

People, please read the Fair Debt Collector Practices Act; if a Debt Collector violates any one harrassment or other law in there; Federal Laws says you can sue them for $1,000.00 per violation.  Do it, and then THEY can pay off YOUR obligations!!!  

Again I am not an Attorney - but have learned these by my own experiences.  There are Attorneys you could talk to, and I would, if any violations of the laws have occured in your circumstances.  I am posting this strictly to help others maybe have a piece of mind, if they are up all night worrying about financial problems, and sick to their stomach in worry as I have been, and still are in some ways. I am again just a well informed, knowledgable consumer, who has spent hours studying the laws, because I had no where else to turn for help.  If anything I have written, causes you questions, please seek the advice of an Attorney.

Certain situations such as Mortgages and Car Payment loans usually do not apply here; so you may need to seek the advice of a Lawyer for your individual situation.
