Who Called Us

Lately we have been receiving a calls to our fax line from this 866-578-4773 several times a day. Calls are normally in the mornings, late afternoon and at 8:58 PM. But now some calls from this number have been as late as 11:18 PM. The fax is on silent ring, but we see the Call light and I.D number flashing. We have no past due bills of anykind and for the last 15 years we always pay our monthly debts if any in full. So I have no idea whatsoever how they got our fax number since its been registered to us for the last 12 years. I also know better than to try to clarify our number with them as these types will never stop calling. So they can have fun ringing the fax all they want. Knock yourself out!

HAVE BEEN GETTING CALLS FROM THIS NUMBER FOR MONTHS, NEVER SAYS WHO THEY ARE THEY JUST SAY IT'S IMPORTANT TO CALL THIS NUMBER BACK, NO WAY WILL I CALL ANYONE WHO DOES NOT IDENTIFY THEMSELVES..REALLLLY TIRED OF THESE CALLS!

It's Allied Interstate Collection Agency that is calling. They will call several times a day. The person who had this number before me I guess owes an obligation to them. No matter how I try to tell them that it's not me. They get nasty and say "Pay your debt". I hang up. I have now downloaded on my Computer a thing called Phone Tray and its free. You can then just block all the numbers that are telemarketers, etc. I use Broadband but keep a phone line plugged into my PC and just let the PC automatically Zap the call. Well worth it in the long run.
Search for Phone Tray and you will find it.

Good Luck.

no idea who these people are

We keep getting automated calls from these people wanting us to call back another number about a "debt" - of which we have none. No way am I going to call these people. If it were for real I'm sure they'd have a real human contact us. I plan to file a complaint about them.

called late when i was putting kids to bed. i saw this report and guessed they were looking for a relative. i never give out info. so they are out of luck.

Got an automated call from this number and the message stated it was allied interstate in attempt to collect a debt. I called back because i have no debt and this is the 2nd time i have told them. 1st time they were looking for my father who has never lived with me and lives in another state and today was my mom. I advised them it was against the FDCPA to leave a collection message for a 3rd party, The guy james goes not for contacts. I go i am not a contact nor was my number ever given. They tried to call my brother as well and he ripped them a new one. I told the guy he was full of crap and they are trying to circumvent the law bu stating "contact" number. I filed a complaint with the FTC, AZ AG office today.

Ijust got an automated call from them and when I called back I spoke with representative who told me that they were trying to locate people. The names they gave are my wife's brother and my sister. The odd thing is that they don't know each other, have never met. and both say they have never put my number on any application. They both have called my number and I'm thinking that they are looking at our phone records. This is just way too weird.

We keep getting these calls, and when I answer either no one replies or I just get a recording that doesn't tell who they are trying to reach. I tried calling back once to get them to stop calling, but after dialing the number they provided I was put on hold for 10 min. and then the phone disconected. We just ignore them now since we're up to date on our bills, and we've been getting calls since April of 2009 for the people who had our phone number before us. I've gotten rid of all the local calls for the people who had the number before, this is the only number that still keeps calling. I think they just keep calling the last number they had for someone who does owe on a dept.

Same here: I received a call, 1900 hours, Monday evening, said they were calling from Allied about a debt, and please return their call. I hang up and started to research the number on line and ended up here, these folks are really annoying, I wish they would stop calling, we pay our bills on time and have not ever been delinquent.

i told them i was glad to talk to them and please record me telling them that they have the wrong number. i also told them (and did) that i was recording them also. they promptly hang up and calls end for a while.

They called 8:58 pm. I don't owe anyone money. Left message. Call on caller id was unavailable. Please return call to 1-866-578-4773 and a representative will be able to assisted you. Call 1-866-578-4773. So. why is this so important if they at unavailable.

the phone calls are getting terrible,got to be a way to stop them from calling.Also call from different #s all day.

They called at 8:35 this morning and left an automated message about a debt. Talk about annoying. I've had my landline for over 20 years, so they must have been calling random numbers. I don't owe them (or anyone else for that matter) any money. I don't have a car loan or mortgage and I pay my credit card bills in full each and every month.

Also annoyed, have called a couple times including 9am on Sunday.

Normally I ignore the calls, but it was only 8 AM so I answered and received no response to my "hello".

I don't owe anyone anything (or I'm not behind in any payments, I should say) so if this is some collection agency (which I read elsewhere it was)it's a bogus call; just some other annoying telemarketer.

The recorded message claims this is about an "urgent business matter." Right. So why are they anonymous?
