I answered the phone and there is no response besides a recording saying not to hang up someome will be on the line shortly. Then I'm disconnected.

I guess this is one more number used by "Allied Interstate" - a collection agency. More numbers are here

Here is what I found on this collection agency:

"Allied Interstate is a well known for unscrupulous collections business. We have no accounts anywhere as our religious beliefs forbid us to have credit. So there is no way we could be on their radar. when informed they have a mistake, their callers utter profanities, including the ubiquitous "F you". I did some checking and discovered many people, including other lawyers have complained to the police, the Business Bureau, the courts, to the attorney general of almost every state, and we find they are rated the most unscrupulous business - and their collection service is NOT a LEGAL ONE. They are scamsters who get phone lists and use harassment techniques to get people to send them money on bogus claims. What's up Dallas, why do you allow these people to do business from your town. KICK THEM OUT!"

Agreed! Just got a call from this number - completely obnoxious! Scumbags!

More swine that should be rounded up and sent to an "undisclosed" location.

I have had two calls from this number in the last two days.  I did not answer either time as I dont' answer calls from strange numbers.  I"m glad I looked here to see who they are.
