I have an outstanding debt to the Illinois Department of Revenue and this Harris and Harris said the call was regarding that debt. I assumed they were legit, maybe it is a scam.
This is not a scam, but a really obnoxious collection agency. They robo called my phone several times a week for over a year, asking for someone I had never heard of. Following the directions during their call to remove your number will not work. I did the research and located the company, Harris & Harris, and called them directly, requesting them to stop calling, but that did not work either. I finally mailed a certified letter telling them to stop calling, and that worked beautifully. After a year of calls, it was worth the effort.
Here's their current address:
Harris & Harris
222 Merchandise Mart Plaza, Suite 1900
Chicago, Illinois 60654
Message reports they have called several times, yet I only have two messages, both left within an hour of each other. Asked that I return Ms Smith's call - very cryptic-
Did not return the call.
Thanks for this information. They have been calling my home phone for my grown son asking for us to inform him to return a call to a Ms. Smith. Called them back tonight after hearing a recorded message from them asking them to stop calling my number. Got into a shouting match with whoever answered. Unbelieveable!! Hopefully it will stop the calls but will also send them a certified letter if I have to.
