Ever wonder why a mysterious voice keeps asking for a neighbor or a relative you've never heard of? The pattern here points to a debt collection operation that’s using a generic “Client Services” label to harvest personal data. These calls often lack a verifiable purpose and may violate do‑not‑call rules. Your best move is to request written verification of any alleged debt, file a cease‑and‑desist letter, and report persistent harassment to the FTC or your state attorney general. Block the number, avoid sharing personal info, and keep a log of each interaction for potential legal action.
A recent tactic involves a caller with an English accent asking for an individual by name, then requesting the listener press a number, a technique that should be met with skepticism and potentially a formal cease and desist letter.
i started recieving calls from this number on my cell, i search it and found this site, now i know its a collection agency, so i'm not wasting my time answering it.
I received a call from an individual claiming to be Jack Bauer, attempting to collect a debt, but I suspect they may be trying to gather information about a company I previously worked for, as none of my personal contacts have this phone number, and their tactics seem to be skirting the law.
The question is, did you send it by mail or certified mail with a returned signature card, i always send certified mail, it cost between 4 to 5 bucks, but you have proof that it was sent and recieved
I've allready sent a cease and desist letter to these peoples, but they just wont stop calling, I perfer comunications in writting, not over the phone where they can be rude, I actualy owe a debt to another creditor thats supposibly being represented by them.
This particuler call comes in at various times, day and night, to my cellphone and apparantly its a collection agency acording to online blogs, despite me having no overdue accounts
I receive calls from this number at any time of day or night, but according to this blog, it appears to be a collection agency. Since I don't have any overdue accounts, I will continue to ignore these calls.
Notably, i never answer incoming calls, instead i call back from my phone that can tape the call, in my state only one party needs to consent to taping the call, if i get any rude or threating behaviour, i make it known i have a copy of the conversation, thats my strategie
The concept of "Found Out" is brilliant, as it transforms a negative experience into a positive affirmation, which is a clever way to retaliate.

A person named Amber from Client Services keeps calling my number looking for someone who dont exist in my family, its kinda weird
Over the past couple of days, a woman named Valerie Maddox, calling from 800-521-3236, has been leaving messages. Since the caller ID displays 'out of area,' and it's mandatory for callers to identify themselves in FLA, it's assumed that this call is from a collection agency. However, a response will only be provided in writing.
The company claimed to have found my resume on Career Builders, which is actuallly true, however i have no intention of contacting them, thanks for the advise.
i had the same experiance as someone else, they cald me about my resume on Career Builder, then cald again 2 hours later, i checkd their website and they are hiring for their call center, but im not intersted.
I received a voicemail from an unknown caller, stating they had received my resume and wanted to discuss it, although I never submitted a resume, and they continue to call despite my disinterest.
During the call, the person asked if the provided address was mine, to which I replied no. They then inquired about the last four digits of my SSN, asking why I was hesitant to provide the information. Given that the address was incorrect, I refused to disclose my SSN details, as I am unfamiliar with the caller and do not reside at the mentioned address.
I received an unwanted call from this number, from an individual searching for my wife and referencing a prior call from 1-800-521-3236 on 9/11/07; the caller's demeanor was rude and uncooperative
Receiving calls from unknown numbers can be frustrating, but saving the number as a contact with a descriptive name and assigning a silent ringtone helps to mitigate the issue.

The behavior of Dan Sonag is absolutely unacceptable and warrants strong condemnation.
