i havent even had my NEW cell phone number 1 DAY and already i have gotten this call and 7 others ( two invalid 11 digits numbers and at least spoofed disconnected number). i am not going to setup my voice mail for a week and see what that does.
got call on my 2 hour old cell phone number (just got it changed and havent given it out). i called number back ... number is disconnected. signs of an obvious scam.
i have never given my cell phone number out. i just got it in march 2011. they filled up my voicemail with hold music twice when i left my cell phone off (what i there was an emergency in the family ???) when i left my cell phone off. if i reject call they dont leave message. and i start my outgoing meassage with SIT tones. havent had a message in my cell voicemail when i not answer cell phone. in fact i have a ringtone that is silence. every now and then i see if someone IMPORTANT called. nope. just them. much more of this and i will get my cell phone number changed. i only use it for outgoing calls..i dont want to call from other than a pay phone and i cant find one anymore to tell em that there is no way the call is for me (in fact one caller asked for jah-el sp? ... not me !!!).
cap one / nco - PUT ME ON YOUR DO NOT CALL LIST !.
i think, according to the FDCPA, it is illegal for debt collectors to call cell phones as it makes the amount owed higher having to spend cell phone $. basically it is making the debt more without going through proper legal channels, which is a no no. so tell them they are calling a cell phone and you think they are in violation of FDCPA since its costing money to talk to them.
btw: Once a debt passes beyond the statute of limitation in your state, a debt collector no longer has the right to sue you for payment. You may still have a moral obligation to pay back an old, forgotten debt, but you can't be sued over it. Any debt collector who threatens to sue you over a debt that is beyond the statute of limitation in your state is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
called, left no message.
813-274-1837 called my cell phone again. i have added to my recorded message to capitol one which made my outgoing message really long. and so, evidentally it is a robo call / hear pick up and start message / or a very stupid person because the message left by "linda" was more than half over and started near the end where it has of the number to cal (only part of the number to call was recorded).
813-274-1837 called my cell phone again for 4th time in 5 days.. evidentally it was capitol one because no message was left this time.
i have a true message that:
"this cell phone number has a new owner with NO way to contact prior owners. Capitol One: Linda - i cannot help you. please do not call again."
i usually have my cell phone OFF because i use it for outgoing and emergencies only. plus, i have NOT given the number out so any call cannot be from anyone i know..
if it is from lupus why isnt that in the caller id. i smell a scammer or a collection agency. especially with unavailable id.
keeps calling about everyday around 6:30 pm. message left sounds like a bunch of callers in background but hangs up.
no message but i bet it is not rent a center but a scammer in frisco tx.
its ars collection agency as the number has been spoofed(?) before it came from unknown number. and it is 1 different from 7037630677 which has been reported else where as ARS (and i got a call from ARS).
called twice today - left no message (woodcridge va gives no clue who they are) according to another site they are ARS collection agency. Illegal debt collecting practices, violators of FDCPA.
i called back. why would a disconnected number call ???
message on hold. asked for mr XXXX twice then hung up. other sites say when number is called back it is an unassigned cell phone number. i.e. scammer / spoofer. may id themeselves as cancer charity (or other) do not give any money or info.
2010 01 25 1813 - played sit tones and do not call again message to them.
411 area code is information
1253pm 12/30/2009 they called but i pressed my quick hang up message (gave em sit tones and a do not call again warning).
2009 11 18 1853: ROBO CALL - they are breaking the FDCPA law ... massage left in parts finally gets around to saying it is from a bill collector /collection agency. THAT IS ILLEGAL TO allow 3rd parties to know that a call is from a collection agency / bill collectore.
PLUS it doesnt prove that NAME answered the phone when an answering machine picks it up !!!
and play the whole message (in cluding the FDCPA illegal announcement of the call is from National Recovery Agency a debt collector - 3rd parties can hear it).

20090827 1702 called left no message (maybe hunup before ansered)
played them my do not call recording.
20090811 1647 - gave em the sit tones and dont call us again recorded message.
2009 7 29 940 am. a recording left the call jenifer message number. wish i had been awake to give them the recording of "you have been told not to call us. take us off your call list. if you want to communicate, do it in writing."
i think this is a group that calls about debts that are past statute of limitations (sol). check with your state most sols are 5 years or less from last transaction with original debtor. judgements can be longer (va's can be extended to 20 years).
if you agree to anything or pay ... you just reset the debt clock.
left no mesaage.
2009/07/23 1207pm - ltd financial called. left no message. if they call again i will press my radio shack quick hangup's button to play recording i made of: sit tone and announcement that we do not take this type of call. or play message from my build-a-bear voice recorder that says "you have been told not to call us anymore. take us off your call list. if you wish to communicate, do it in writing."
(i should add a sit tone in front of it but it can only play about 10 - 15 second recording.)
according to a few places they must have contacted you in writing before they can proceed with collection activities."
do not cave in a proceed to pay ... if it was an past stature of limitation (check your state laws) they cannot try to collect on it and shouldnt be trying to .... however, if you do pay or say youll pay ... it starts the clock ticking again from that point.
07 21 2009 6pm gave em the do not call sit and message.
4/6/2009 732PM call came in. i pressed button for outgoing message 'this household does not talk to strangers. please take us off your call list. if you wish to communicate write a letter.'
why did thiu number give 1 800 360 4319 as a call back number to jennifer .... i found out through various sites that this is a billing scam.
20090227 1135 no message.
20090223 1020 - hello is so-n-so there ? (interestinly they didnt call on 24th.)
before i have played sit tones, do not call, said more calls are considered harrasment and will be reported to authorities for further action many times. harassment (calling when told not to - written or otherwise - is illegal under all circumstances. if telemarkeing or creditor (per FDCPA) it is a felony (federal offense - violation of federal law).
20090127 1629 left no message.

i just saw my newer caller ids. 646-367-3289 left music filling my machine and prevented a few IMPORTANT CALLS from getting through ... a family member has been diagnosed as having cancer.
12/18/2008 12:50pm couldnt leave a message if they wanted to, because 646-367-3289 played music untill the machine was full (preventing a message about a household memeber having car problems - a 83 year old lady had to take taxi home rather than get picked up and car fixed).
notice no 'I' in publc
12/18/2008 1:42pm couldnt leave a message if they wnted to, because 646-367-3289 played music untill the machine was full (preventing a message about a household memeber having car problems - a 83 year old lady had to take taxi home rather than get picked up and car fixed).

12/17/2008 4:48pm ... oh fudge - i wssnt home to play message ... "music played (a please hold till next operator music?) hello? hello?"
i am getting a caller id based call blocking machine (at least i will not hear the phone ring. though i dont anyways i sleep too far from phone) )
i wonder if these people get laid off if they do not produce anything after x calls.
some time ago the music played like 3 minutes or more (till my machine ran out) for this caller.
12/17/2008 6:39pm no message
12/16/2008 7:36pm called again today after i had played the message. i didnt get to play it this tim though.
12/17/2008 9:01 am ... got a live voice when i said hello so i played my pre-recorded message "This household neither gives out personal information nor discusses business matters over the phone! please send a letter and take us off your call list ! Thank You ! GOODBYE !"
1:02 pm 12/16/2008 they called, i answered, live voice --- i played my recording "This household neither gives out personal information nor discusses business matters over the phone! please send a letter and take us off your call list ! Thank You ! GOODBYE !"
1:42pm waiting to see if occurs again. if i feel like picking up to a live person, i say "this household neither gives out personal information nor discusses bussines matters over the phone. please send a letter".
I AM FIGHTING BACK. i made a recording using my computer's text to speech program microsoft sam voice (the voice that paraplegic genius steven hawkins uses) to play back when they say hello that says:
'due to the rise in telephone scams this household does not discuss business matters over the phone. please send a letter. thank you. have a nice day. goodbye.'
the only thing they will hear is the message. i'll gladly play it again if they call a few times in a row. they should get the message you are not going to talk to them.

10:46 am called left no message. i am making a recording to play back when they say hello that says 'due to the rise in telephone scams this household does not discuss business matters over the phone. please send a letter. goodbye.' the only thing they will hear is the message. i have thought that after hanging up to take the phone off the hook for an hour to give em a busy signal if they call back. they should get the message after a whiie.
