tHERE IS NO ONE BY THE NAME SHANNON ROBINS THAT LIVES AT THIS ADDRESS AND THAT IS WHO THEY ARE CALLING FOR AND THEY KEEP CALLING AT DIFFEENT TIMES OF THE DAY.
This 'automated' phone call comes through about once every three to four months. They leave a long pause between questions...I think it is a scammer of some sort. I owe no one anything and the fact I was a credit fraud victim once before has taught me to use Experians Credit Watch service...They're clearly scum bag's!
They keep calling for Thomas Barron. I do NOT KNOW HIM! And have been hung up on when I request to have them stop calling me. Whoever the hell Thomas Barron is call these damn people so they will leave me alone!! :)
They are a collection agency of some sort: Here is the information

I finally called the corporate number and spoke with Mr. Kennedy which he seemed reasonable enough. I hope for their sake I get no more calls or a harrassment suit will be my next step with this company.
this company is what's called a "junk debt buyer" - basically the lowest of the debt collectors. they search for "dead" accounts such as defaulted credit cards and such where the original creditor has already written off the balance from their books and probably received a tax credit because of this. what they do is pay outrageously low amounts of money for the right to try to collect on these alleged debts. they use scare tactics and threats to try to get money from people. don't let them scare you.
I've been getting calls from this number for the past two months. I never pick it up and they never leave a voice mail. Decided to check the number on the internet and found this site
This number keeps calling my parents...I was finally here when one of the calls occurred.In the past , they were asking for me,but this time there was no name on the recording.I live in California.The parents live in Oregon.I called the company back,but whomever I spoke with was extremely rude.Needless to say,nothing was accomplished.This company is a bunch of bottom feeders that take the last-ditch effort in collecting a debt that is on the brink of coming off of your credit report.I have been a telemarkerter,even done some collections and these types of idiots are the reason that job SUCKED so freakin' bad!
