Checking on my Caller ID, I have received 9 calls from this number in the last 100 calls received on our ground line. CTI has an "investment" program that "guarantees phenominal results". After politely requesting that the calls cease, I have taken a more hostile (and yes, profane) approach. These people are incredibly thick skinned, aggressive and abusive. I am reporting them to my State AG.
Got a call from 949-752-2870 this afternoon/evening. It only rang once or twice, but I didn't answer it in time. I got distracted with other things and didn't call it back until about 8pm. No answer, no message, just rings on and on. However, looking online, I see that this number comes up for Trackers, Inc. (www.trackerscorp.com), which is a collection agency with an office in Irvine, CA at:
17165 Von Karman Avenue
Irvine,CA 92614
Their corporate office is in Iowa, at:
Trackers, Inc.
1970 Spruce Hills Drive
Bettendorf, Iowa 52722
563-344-8500 phone
563-344-9200 fax
I do have some old credit card debt they may be trying to track me down on, so this is no surprise to me. However, someone else may read this and find it helpful.
Now getting up on my soap box, I will not pay any collection agency no matter what tactics they use. I would be willing to speak with the original creditor, but once they have written off the account, taken a tax break for it, and sold it off (maybe multiple times to different companies) to a collection agency I will not pay them no matter what (how would you feel paying a $1000 debt in full that the collection agency paid less than a dollar for?). It only encourages their despicable industry to proliferate further. I would prefer that all collection agencies go out of business, and that the employees there find jobs that have some value to society, rather than leeching off of it. Just my $0.02 worth of opinion!
Kept getting calls from this number. No one would answer. I kept hitting redial and something picked up the line. A series of tones were played. I randomly pressed about7 or 8 keys. Gopt connected to someone asking to speak to 'John'. It was like they dialed the phone. I asked why they were calling my number. After several minutes of saying they didn't call me, he asked if I was active in the stock market. I told him this number was on the do-not-call list and to never call again. Strange response since caller id showed CTI.
So if you receive a call from this number, call them back. Keep calling until you get through. After the tones, dial some random numbers and let them have it.
