I started receiving calls from this number a few months ago. I generally don't answer to unknown numbers, and they would never leave a message. Well one day they did, and all that the message was was the sound of a fax machine. Same thing happened when I tried calling the number back, just the sound of a fax machine blaring back into my ear. The calls have been starting to come in more and more. There was one day this week that they literally called me 5 times in a row within a 2 minute time frame, and those were just their first few calls of the day. If this continues I am going to look into harassment charges. It is very annoying and disruptive. How would they like it if someone did what they do to everyone back to them? GRR!!!
received call from woman stating my name and full physical address, who said it was a personal matter. i had to ask several times to get a company name and all she gave me was NRA.
looked up online they are not the national rifle association, just a junk debt collector
when i called back to request that they send me something proving i owe whatever debt they have on file for me. i told the representative to stop calling and send me written proof of the debt to the address they OBVIOUSLY have on file and she hung up on me
**also calls from several other numbers 801/364-0778 and 801/364-0777, refuses to leave message or state who is calling or why
This 801-364-0778 number keeps calling me. I don't answer the phone unless I know who it is. When they didn't leave a message, I called back. I spoke with a very rude rep named Monica who asked me to verify an address that was my mom's address, who lives in ALASKA... I asked what company she was with, and she told me that I needed to verify information about myself; such as, name, address, birthdate and SSN before anything this was pertaining to was released. I told her I didn't feel comfortable releasing information about myself, especially things like that to someone who couldn't, or wouldn't, tell me what company she was with. She then yelled at me and told me to call back when I had the time to verify my information and not be rude. Before I could ask to speak with a supervisor about this, she hung up on me after telling me thank you. While I was waiting for my call to be answered, the hold music kept telling me that your call could be recorded for quality and training.
I decided to call at an odd time (3am), to see if people worked there 24/7, or normal business hours. The recording said, "you have reached NAR, all of our agents are busy or you have reached us after business hours, please leave your name, account or reference number and phone number and someone will call you back."
Of course I didn't leave a message. So, I'm going to call during normal business hours and request a supervisor immediately and ask for the name of the business, employee number, direct phone number, etc. I will verify general information about myself, but I'm not going to verify my mother's address, or SSN until I know exactly who/what I'm dealing with. And probably not even then.
I hope that helps anyone else going through the harassment that is going along with this specific phone number.
Got a call from this number. No message. However, other people are saying that this is the same debt collection company that I've received calls from in the past. They are always looking for this guy named "Kevin" that I have no association with. They have been notified multiple times not to call me anymore.
We are military and have Tri Care Insurance. They told me that the medical bill had been denied by my insurance and that I had to have TriCare call them to settle the debt. I informed them that was not how tricare worked. THEY needed to send the debt BACK to the hospital, code it properly and the hospital would get paid. Otherwise I would be contacting TriCare to let their legal team have at them. I have never got any notification from the Hospital stating that a claim was denied or asking to confirm my insurance. TriCare has no record of the claim this company is speaking of or it being denied. I will be contacting the physicians billing and coding department through the Hospital next. The lady at TriCare warned me that sometimes hospitals do this to try and get money out of members. TriCare never pays the full amount, it's a set amount and the providers have to write off the rest of what they charge. So, doing it this way (sending the bill to collections) can get them more money because you are scared, or not educated on the process. It's very simple. They will be dealing with a TriCare fraud charge if they don't get the bill back to the coders and sent off with the proper information. So, to fellow military people. If this company is contacting you, file a complaint with TriCare, document everything and work with the representative in your state who can help you.
I have been getting calls from this number for several weeks now, I have never answered because they always call when I am busy. Never leave a message and I have never gotten any bills in the mail. Should I answer their call the next time or is it probably a scam?
