The phone is ringing, and I don't recognize the number,
All Caller ID says is, "NAME UNAVAILABLE".
Please help me figure out who is calling and what they want
I've decided to strike back at telemarketers.
I own a business and I am sick of answering my phone and getting some telemarketer on the other side. Sometimes, it's a recording, others it's a live person and the worst of them are the ones where you answer and there is nothing on the other side and they just hangup.
All the telephone numbers I have are on the National Do Not Call list. Before I registered, I was getting one or two calls a day. Afterwards, the number dropped to one every other day. Still, I shouldn't be getting any calls from these people.
No more. NO MORE!
No more getting a telemarketers call in the middle of a busy workday when I have a million other things to do. No more being awakened in the middle of the night or early morning by a recorded messege telling me that I have to get a business loan or more car insurance.
I've had enough and I'm not going to take it anymore, because I don't have to.
I have the tools and I have the know-how and I'm mad enough to be the worst person in the world for these people to call from now on.

1-866-857-3916 is one of those irritating numbers that show up on your caller ID that can never seem to be identified. When you return the call, you get the ominous "Can I help you?" or "Case number please." They refuse to identify who they are when questioned, will not state they are debt collectors, and by tone imply you have committed some illegal act and are in great trouble or they would not have called you. It is a violation of FDCPA. It took quite a bit of research and cunning to discover whom the voices were behind the lawbreaking 866 number were...but it's coming together now and they are without excuse.
Give us your stories on CRA and let's put together some useful information to bring these folks down. Record their calls where legal and save the tapes for future use. We'll post 'em here if you have something of interest.
In the meantime, hold them to the law; make them put everything in writing, validate the debt. Use the cease-communication letter. Violations of the law should be pointed out to the Virginia Attorney General.

I looked-up Outsourcing Solutions, Inc. in Dublin, OH in the Yellowpages.com site and got their mailing address. Here is the link to their YellowPages.com listing, just copy and paste it into your browser.
yellowpages.com
When I did a reverse lookup for 614-717-4395, it came back as unlisted, but the city is Dublin, OH which is the same city and state as the YellowPages listing, so I am assuming it's the same people.
If they call you, go to the link above and leave a negative review for that company. See how they like a little negative publicity with their breakfast.
