Collection angency. All other calls were from Brachfeld Law Group/ Now instead of toll free numbers they are using a number with your area code to be sneaky I am sure. They are after the wrong person and I don't care to talk to them.
Brachfeld Law Group has several telephone numbers it places debt collection calls from. Brachfeld Law Group may be calling you from the following telephone numbers: 713-579-7000, 614-468-2204 , 310-273-7867, 310-658-5997, 614-389-3316, 713-579-7020, 866-837-4402, 866-354-3556, 866-917-1298, 614-389-3316, 866-598-9371, 866-737-3695, 805-754-3206, 866-787-1618, 614-389-2600, 866-837-4408, 866-837-4406, 866-598-9375, 866-835-1915, 866-834-3940, 859-559-4699, 866-598-9391, 877-290-2697, 866-917-1328, 866-836-8907, 866-834-3556, 702-628-5344, 971-313-8272, 877-545-1461, 866-837-6262, 877-375-6990, 866-834-6218, and 760-957-0024.
8668346218 has information about them and the robo call sounded the same.
"YOU ARE A TELEMARKETER, AND I DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH ANY COMPANY THAT USES TELEMARKETING AS A FORM OF ADVERTISING" (stolen from a comment on this web site -- I love it). And do not answer name unavailable ever as calls are now starting to say that often. Another comment from this web site says: When you press the number to have your number removed, all you do is confirm that your number is a working one. Now I either block the numbers or I don't answer the phone at all. Another comment was: They sold your known active number to another scammer!!! That is what they do when you call them back to opt out. SO DON’T HAVE YOUR NUMBER REMOVED!
Let me explain my idea of ROBO CALLS. Each area code has 9,999,999 numbers fyi (7 digits). The program starts calling every number that it can in succession. So they don't need to buy or obtain lists from anyone. I am going to copy and paste and post this info for each number that calls me for this web site (9,999,98 numbers more to copy and paste to)
NOTHING IS GOING TO STOP THESE SCAMMERS AND LAZY COLLECTION AGENCIES (statute of limitations on debt: http://www.creditinfocenter.com/rebuild/statuteLimitations.shtml) who call everyone with the same name instead of looking up the right one and all we can do is block them or use call forward selective.. DNC does not work when they are robo dialing all possible random numbers. The authorities can not or will not help either.
So, just block them, DON'T ANSWER UNKNOWN CALLS, and continue using this great site for information to be in control of your own home and cell phone calls. If it turns out that you did not answer a call from someone you know (number not on this site), just call them back. No problem. It’s a lot of work that I do (checking the number on this web site, blocking the caller, and making my own excel spreadsheet of numbers) but at least I FEEL like I have a little control of the situation. Maybe I'm delusional. Another smart person on this web site said to save it to your contacts as spam 1, then spam 2, etc. so you can just ignore the call.
ITS OUR LIFE AND WE NEED TO TAKE IT BACK.
One person said to call forward selective to the FCC whose number is 1-717-338-2533
The Center for Investigative Reporting joined two news organizations in an investigation of groups that use telemarketers to raise money and they found is that most of the money is paid to telemarketers, leaving the charities with little, if anything. (3%)
Not only that reputable charitable organizations don't solicit donations by phone.
So it's good advice to remember to just say no to anyone who solicits over the phone unless you actually know the person calling.

You could help yourself as you gather collected wisdom to stop confusing telemarketers with debt collectors. Only one is trying to sell something, and only sales callers are covered by the Telemarketing Sales Rule and a no-call registry. Charity calls are also not for sales.
It woud help the readers here if you could focus your comments rather than dump out a whole salad bar of borrowed ideas on multiple call categories. It was enough to identify your caller and discuss its own suspect behavior.
Brachfeld is a known sloppy operation, managed in the shadows by a disbarred lawyer while fronted by his daughter, said to be dumb as a bag of doorknobs. They send dunning letters full of misspellings and can't sue anyone outside their two footprint states.
