I receive calls from this company regularly.  Since it's not local and shows up on caller ID, I Googled the phone number and found lots of complaints about this "collections" company harrassing people.  I have no outstanding debt (thank heaven, in this economy), and my credit is sterling, so there's no reason for them to keep calling me.  I just don't answer when I see that number on caller ID.  No one has ever left a voice mail message for me.

they keep calling my cell phone  and when I answer they just hang up. I will ignore them from now on,now that I know who is calling. Thank you for the info.
But what is their purpose on making cold calls like that to people who do not owe anybody anything?

So I looked it up b/c I am also getting calls. I screen my calls when a # pops up that I do not know. A message is NEVER left and they call almost 10 times in an hour.
If you go to

you can get info on the company AND the president of the company's #.

I now receive several phone calls a day from these people on my cell. Since I now know who they are  I never answer.
What is the deal with them?

This is one of the many companies unfortunately finding loophole to scam people for money, rather or not you really owe a 3rd party money. I highly advise each of you to report this to the Attorney General in that City. Good Luck folks and keep in mind that to make the world a better place, actions speak louder than posted complaints on 800notes.com Take action and contact the attorney general.
