Got a message to call this number. Tried calling it, but was rudely placed on hold. Called back to ask what the call was in reference to, got hung up on. Called my lawyer to report the number.
Received a call two times today 8/27/2010 from this number, noone said anything when I answered. When I called the number back I received a recording saying that the number was not in service????

It's a debt collection firm called Sunrise Credit Services. They deliberately call from a number that can't recieve incoming calls. If they leave a message and you call back at the number they left you (866-891-3257 is the one I got), they refuse to identify themselves until you identify yourself first, in order to make it harder to avoid them.
These people are ubelieveably obnoxious. I've had to deal with a number of debt collectors in recent times (let's just say I'm in a bit of a financial mess), and Sunrise is by far the worst. Their representatives are rude and pushy, they interrupt you constantly just to repeat themselves over and over, and their practices are shady and deceptive. I recommend that you record all calls with them (make sure you let them know at the beginning, for legal reasons and so that they know they have to be careful), and don't ever send them a penny without having the terms clearly spelled out in witing, and carefully review any monthly statements they give you.
It's a debt collection service alright. Called them back, asked whom I was speaking to, and got an indirect answer that basically said: "Tell me who you are first."
Definitely a debt collector. Good thing I forward specific numbers straight to voicemail. Enjoy my inbox Sunrise Credit Services.
