Received this call also. Asked that I return the call to 330-494-9494. Did not return the call. If they cannot tell me their name, they do not deserve the courtesy for a call-back.
I received a call from this number this morning, they identified themselves as CSBC, or CBCS or some such thing, I am not sure what this is concerning and they sure don't volunteer any information so I hesitate to take them seriously, any suggestions on this?? I do owe some medical bills from the Akron, Oh. area and this is where this number originates from but you cannot be to careful dealing with anyone, or any business over the phone.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of the date of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

called our Salon and asked for employment verfication for Ross Mc Farland, never heard of that person. She insisted that they currently work for my business. I would know if we had someone by that name. Found out they are a debt collector and are trying to collect a debt. Of course they are going to give u a fake place of employment, of course she didn't want to hear that.
