Anonymous debt collector for a company that you may owe. Company has not been able to collect from you for over a year, so they hire this company. The collection agency uses various numbers in various states to harrass and annoy you. Never intend to connect with you because they hang up before voicemail comes in for them to leave a message. I suspect the number being called is in an automated system to call you every 2 to 4 hours.
A debt collector that annoys and harrass. Never leaves a message. Just repeatedly calls every 2 to 4 hours daily until about Midnight. If you can't identify who you are or why you are calling, then you are not worthy of a response.
A man with a Hispanic accent called me from this # claiming my husband was in a car accident with his cousin. He wanted $2500 for the cousin's medical expenses then threatened to have my husband shot if I didn't pay. I notified the police immediately. My husband was fine and not involved.
Received a check in the mail late July 2013. It was written on comstock oil & gas for the amount of $1984.45. A letter accompanied from Gardfield Research. It stated that it was an invitation to work as a "customer Service Evaluator" aka mystery shopper. Instructions for 2 assignments were detailed. I was required to first contact Mark Thomas for authorazation on the check and to receive the assigned receiving agent for a western union money in minutes transfer. Then depoit the check into my personal account, wait a couple days for it to clear, then transfer a portion of it to the receiving agent via western union. I would keep $300 for my services and then go on to assignmnet #2. This included using $100 to shop somewhere. The back of the letter also provided a form to evaluate the clients. I researched Gardfield Research and the company appears not to exist and the address is fake. The check however was written on a good company, but I beleive this to be a HUGE scam!!
A lottery scam is a type of advance-fee fraud which begins with an unexpected email notification, phone call, or mailing (sometimes including a large check) explaining that "You have won!" a large sum of money in a lottery. The recipient of the message — the target of the scam — is usually told to keep the notice secret, "due to a mix-up in some of the names and numbers," and to contact a "claims agent." After contacting the agent, the target of the scam will be asked to pay "processing fees" or "transfer charges" so that the winnings can be distributed, but will never receive any lottery payment.[1] Many email lottery scams use the names of legitimate lottery organizations or other legitimate corporations/companies, but this does not mean the legitimate organizations are in any way involved with the scams.

This number (267) 518-3198 has called before. Called me in Pittsburgh, PA on Tuesday afternoon; when I answered, they hung up. Research shows they call from Willow Grove, Philadelphia, PA, from a phone serviced by "Allegiance".
A female showed up at my door twice with some excuse about her parents sending a fed ex package to the wrong address and if it came to my door would I call her at this number and she gave the name Christine. We have had a lot of crimes in the area of this same behavior and all she was doing was to see who was home and what she could see through the door that was valuable. 3 days later my apartment was robbed.
I hung up immediately.
I was hoping for some answers.
