This makes the 7th different phone number I keep getting calls from on my cell phone.  These 7 are all the same -- call over and over and do not leave message.  Others have been discovered to be false/scam collection agencies trying to get personal information from people.  These calls started several months ago.  It is SO obvious that somehow, somewhere, there was somebody who accessed my cell phone number and has been selling it to these types of companies.

EVERY time I receive one of these calls now, I report it on donotcall.gov.  Maybe if everyone does the same, they will eventually be addressed and the calls will stop.   I work for a government agency, so maybe one of these days I will call the companies from my office.  Perhaps if I "suggest" they stop calling, it will frighten them enough to actually stop, especially when seeing the caller ID come from a government location.

PLEASE, everybody report EVERY single one of these calls you get to donotcall.gov.  Report them every time you receive them, even if there are multiple calls from the same number -- report each call from each number.

I finally picked up a call from this number.  It was an automated call that asked for somebody I've never heard of.  There was no way to immediately get through to somebody this way, so I called the number directly.  Surprisingly, the person who answered, Samantha, (she had also answered about 3 or 4 other numbers that had been calling me) was very nice about it.  She confirmed that I was not the person they had listed as having my number and said she would remove me from their call list.

Amazingly, after doing this, calls from all the other numbers immediately stopped, also.  Can't believe they were all linked together!!! That means I was getting a LOT of phone calls daily from essentially the same people.

This number is from First Financial Bank...And they looking for they money....So in going to say that its an automated answer service..Which it isn't ...So Mike you need 2 stop playing games.. and pay they [***] they money you owe Them!!  Or we will continue 2 call that [***]!!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Hale (First Financial Bank Correspondant)

Wow!!! Gee I see now why they can't collected debts that are actually owed look at what type of people they hire.  Jennifer, I think you need to go and take a basic English course at the local community college.  Oh and by the way you guys tried your little scam with me and guess what I took you to court and won!!!  You know why? I did not owe a debt...It was paid in full and I kept all billing statements and bank statements.  This number is an automated call it leaves and automated message in your voice mail.  Now if you will excuse me I have a real job that I work everyday that requires basic ENGLISH skills.

Grayson....AMEN!!! Same thing with me (didn't take them to court) But I had already paid my bill as well. They are trying to get more and more money even though you owe nothing. These people are simply CRIMINALS and ROTTEN. Oh and Jennifer...."they" meaning you...prove the stupidity of the majority of these people that hassel nice people who have paid there bill. Have a great day!!! :)
