I have received several calls from the 716-799-8012 number but never any messages. The concern I have is these calls are being made to my cell which is a number that is not given out on a regular basis. I have no idea who these people are??
Why do we go to varied lengths to maintain our privacy when anyone can access our information without our knowledge.
They call at various times. Usually very early mornings before 6:00 am and to annoy, disturb and wake me and my kids. It is always a computer and when I press #1 to talk to someone it always disconnects me. Can't be anything legal about this company. I would love their home phone numbers to wake and disturb them. They need to be shut down. I have sent in a complaint to the FTC. I can only hope that helps. Put this company back into the stink hole it crawled out of and plug the hole so they never see daylight again. If anyone can do something about this company. DO IT!!!
I have received phone calls from FBCS (800-220-2018) stating that I owe over $41,000. Correspondence sent to me stated that the client is Northstar Capital Acquistion. I believe this to be a scam. They claimed it stemmed from a home reposession in 2002. This is impossible. In researching Northstar I have found many sites claiming that they are scamming individuals and going as far as sending false legal documents.
Although the number FBCS called from is not from area code 716, I believe the numbers are related. There is also a different number on their letterhead. Anyone know anything about FCBS?
These people keep calling and when you call them back you immedietly get disconnected, so its impossible to get a hold of them. Is this a scam . I know I wouldnt reveal anything to these people. I just wish someone would take notice of this company.
It is not illegal for debt collector to call you home, they can use any means necessary. But once you provide them with a written statement telling them not to call you and any business they have with you can be done using the postal service, From the date they receive the notice, the call should stop. After that date, future phone call from them can be regarded as harassment and a lawyer can be retained to handle the situation. But be prepared, a lawyer could be more costly than paying the debt or just getting "Caller ID" and learning which numbers not to answer.
