They call me from this number every night but there is never anyone there! I do not have anything in collection that I know of and frankly I am getting pretty irritated by it all...especially since they are calling my cell phone!
I answered my cell phone twice today w/out checking the # display & their recording came on saying "please hold, your call is important to us"-- I hung up each time. Since I didn't know who was calling from this #, I did a Google search & discovered this website. After reading the various posts, I then I called my cell phone Co. & reported what I learned about phone #312-279-8300 from this website re: their trying to scam people via cell phones. Verzion is blocking the # for me at no charge.
I advise everyone to contact their cell phone co. & have this # blocked in addition to making a formal complaint with your cell phone co. & anyone else & perhaps this Co. can be shut down.
I have no idea how they got my cell # as I don't & never have had anything in collections.
This is the first time they used this number with me. Last time the number was 312-279-8425. Called the number back and some rude person answered the phone. Asked them what they wanted and she told what do you want. told her you keep calling my house you tell me. She transferred me to some other number and I left them a message telling them to stop calling and to get their info. correct.
Just assign the same name to whatever number that you know that you don't want to ever answer. I use junk. Then when the name and number appear on your screen, you know that you can ignore it. If you may not use the same name for more than one number, use junk, junk1, junk2, etc. Works for me.
