This number has called every freaking phone I have as late as 930 pm...they call my work phone which is a federal building, they call my cell, they call the house leaving the same freaking message...yada yada yada, please reference your claim number 37725595, please call us @ 866-487-8320. They must think I'm boo boo the fool if they think I am going to call them back. What is so funny to me is I have blocked their number from cell to include their capability to leave a message and yet and still I get a voice mail with the same message...they call between all of my numbers at least 10 times a day.
Just got a call form 210-538-7450. Said that I have an overdue bill and gave an account number. I asked, what kind of a bill is it for? .. doctor, car? He replied I can't tell you until I have your last 4 of Social Security Number. I hung up.
Harassment call for fake loan. Says they're with TACS. He wouldn't tell me anything because I wouldn't verify anything. He was reaching for information, but I wouldn't give him anything. Everyone be careful, this is a SCAM!!!
Most Ridiculous Statements - verify last 4 of SSN - Nope. Told them I do not have a pay day loan - send us your bank statements to prove it?? Seriously!? I need a valid notice of this debt mailed to me - we don't have to do that. Excuse after excuse after talking to supervisors/managers. Now they are calling from 210-570-8174.
Most likely part of the Global Scam out of Jamaica or perhaps the Island of Nevis. Or Nassau in the Bahamas. Clearly an off-shore scamming group. Callers generally have Caribbean accents.

United Restitution Group,
They may use other CIDs and phony creditors as well. Their signature phrase when you ask them where they are located is to say: "they are in Miami but have 48 locations in the US". Right. Lately they’ve been adding the phrase “except Hawaii and Alaska. Just to show you they now have learned some geography. These people are nothing more than overseas scammers. Ignore these people and block their calls.
Report them: See: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
My own research suggests that they are the remnants of
CWB Services, LLC. (Cutter Group)
2114 Central Avenue
Kansas City, MO 64110
Sued by the FTC in 2013. Can’t operate in the US, so they used their Jamaican or Nevis subsidiaries to carry on the scam. Which accounts for the US – like scamming operations they engage in.

Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a dime until the debt is validated
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.
If they are bothering you, report them:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.) The same goes for endless telephone harassment
Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because, being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking), the only thing they understand.
they changed the number this week to 210-570-8174. do they think that we are stupid by changing their number? how many people are calling us from a Texas area code! scamming ridiculous jerks. i've had it - i call back and blast my stereo as loud as it can go and find devil worship music online and put the phone up to the speaker. i'm not a fan of that genre of music and in my opinion sounds bad at normal volume, when I blast it for my phone calls back to these scamming jerks it sounds much worse. well, my 10 minutes of fun with them. they'll never stop scamming folks like this, but individually if we continue to just block the number and not respond, eventually they realize their scam is up on us, they'll move on to the next victim....good luck
