The number showing up on your Caller ID is a fake number placed there illegally by the company responsible for these calls in order to make it meaningless to report to the authorities (and also why you can not call the number back or block it from calling again). They also add an extra digit or two or a fake name, like "David Smith", for the same reason. They rotate these numbers weekly, sometimes daily. Also, they will never give you any information about their real company identity (name, address, phone and fax numbers, etc.) until AFTER you have given them your credit card info (which is another one of the many laws they are breaking) so they can zap a $900+ charge to your card.
The Florida-based company responsible is either American Debt Negotiators (using their call-center company PHL Inc.) and/or IXE Accelerated Financial Services. Thousands of complaints have been posted on dozens of internet site over the past year about these two Florida-based scam companies. Just Google their names and see for yourself. You can also go to heatherwithaccountservices.com for a lot of good information on who they are and what you can do to help stop them.
I pressed 1 to talk to a live agent and talked briefly to "Brian" who hung up on me when I started asking questions about how to get off the call list. THen immediatly after that the phone rings again and this time the caller ID sais "BRITTEN DUNFORD 425-336-4620". The every helpfull "Mathew" tells me there is no process in place to remove my number from the call list and volunteers that the name of the company is "Card Services", then he hung up on me too...
I have been getting calls from 506-228-85400 for two weeks now, wtf will answer if i get the chance
Same thing, same number extra zero. On my cell phone although it is registered on the do not call list. Some sort of message but could not understand it then it cut off when I tried to pick up.
I got it too!!
Called us during dinner, of course, let it go into voicemail since the number popped up with "unknown name" on caller id. No message though
yup, same thing. but on my cell phone. annoying
I got the same call, same weird number. My message said, "Thank you and have a great day"
Same thing, some stupid message about something related to credit crap. Today June 3, 2008.
I got the same thing today! 506-228-85400. How weird! It doesn't show a mesage left. Called at 12:26 on June 3rd.
THE PHONE NUMBER SHOWED UP AS 506-228-85400. MY PHONE SHOWED A MESSAGE LEFT, BUT NOTHING THERE.
THE EXTRA ZERO AT THE END IS NOT A TYPO. EVEN WHEN TRYING TO CHECK THE MESSAGE IT WAS FROM "506-228-85400"
