I got a voicemail from them saying, "You've been named as a person of interest in an important matter. You need to contact this office immediately, or decisions will be made without your knowledge. Please press the one key now to be connected with our office or call us back. At (888) 772-4172 extension 1." The message repeated itself after a "This is a message for (previous owner of my phone number)"

Knowing who they were looking for, I figured it was a collection agency. The guy who had my number before me was a deadbeat in many ways based off the calls I get for him. I called the number back, it was a "CCS Incorporated" and the extension's voicemail box was full.

STOP CALLING ME!

This is the 7th time this number has contacted me. They are a collection agency supposedly working on the behalf of ChexSystem and are wanting to collect their money.  The recording always starts off with "You've been named as a person of interest in an important matter. You need to contact this office immediately, or decisions will be made without your knowledge. Please press the one key now to be connected with our office or call us back. At (888) 772-4172 extension 1."  They are extremely rude and will not allow transfer to a supervisor and if you get so lucky to get a supervisor they too are rude and refuse to listen. I have and will continue to ignore their phone calls.

I got the same call and same message. Thanks to the others who reported this, I can now ignore these calls. I called back the number on my caller ID and found it was a company called "CCF" -- sounds like a collection agency for a previous owner of this tel no.
