This number has been calling the business # for about two weeks now. They are asking for a person who I never have heard of. Caller ID- read- Pioneer Credit. I will not answer & I will not call them to tell them anything.
I also received a call from this number. The person claimed to be from the NJ Division of Taxation. They did speak broken english. Rep claimed to be collecting a debt. The asked me to confirm the last four digits of my SSN. I refused to give the information and have since reported this call to www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/.
Calls from this number are from a collection agency (Pioneer) that is contracted to collect tax for the State of NJ. I will post a link to show the page where the contracts can be located. This collection agency also has other contracts for other states.
The GM of our bank got a call from this #. A rep by the name of Ms. Davis said she got the GM's name from another party (she had the wrong first name by the way) and said due to the Privacy Law Act she could not tell me what the purpose of the call was. the only thing she could tell me was that she was calling from Pioneer w/regards to a company matter. She left the following # to call back: 888-459-9515 x 20602.
I got a call from these people. I don't trust them. They said I owed interest from a late filed sales tax...which IS true..but they called a week later after I submitted the late filing on line. The state deducted the amount from my account and normally THE STATE sends you the late fee,interest and penalties..not these people. This woman wanted me to give her my CC number or bank acct. number...I refused, of course. It said PCR on my caller ID. I know the state does have Pioneer collections contracted, but still...I told her to send me something in the mail. What I got really made me suspicious. I received one piece of paper with some amount I owe, tax ID number and my business name. The paper did not have their business name on it, any contact name or phone number nor where to send the payment to....just some calculations with my information on it...very unprofessional looking. I think the state has a data leak somewhere..or maybe my PC. If she calls back again wanting my CC number or bank account I will hang up.
They have called me every day for a week with an 888 number to call them back. It makes me crazy. Leave the exact same message every day. I have been trying to find out who it is. Thanks for the info on the previous notes.
