I received several voice mails to call Matthew Roberts with the same # y'all have mentioned, my caller ID picks up several different #s from where the calls originated; (213)330-0187, (916)589-8603, (801)961-9999 are the last 3, I have decided to keep all these #s on my caller ID, and have reported all of them to the National Do Not Call list (all of my #s are registered with them). Whenever I've tried to call (*never* from one of my #s), if I get a person, I am told I owe (per them) a debt from 15 years ago, when I tell the idiot on the phone that the statute of limitations expired 8 years ago, like everyone else here, I get cursed at, called nasty names, and told that they will see me in court, to which I calmly reply, "go ahead, do your best, my lawyers will wipe the floor with yours, our State's Attorney General will love to have a conversation with them", and that I've reported them to be in violation of the "national do not call registry". I was surprised I got to say all that before the B*tch hung up on me. I have attempted to call back, but one of 3 things happens, 1) I am informed "thank you for calling Jackson Davis & Assoc, the next available agent will help you", then get awful music for about a minute, then get "all our agents are busy, please leave your name and #...", 2) the phone rings 2 or 3 times then I get a dial tone, 3) same recording as #1, but get different, but still awful music, and on hold for......I don't know, I've hung up after 4 minutes. This is just one of many "Collection agency" scammers out there, if they can be tracked down, they will be sued by several state's Attorneys General, as several other so called agencies have been sued, and fined several millions of dollars, and ordered to pay back several millions of illegally collected funds. I have decided that from here on out, I will just report the # the call originated from to the Better Business Bureau, and my state's Attorney General. Why talk to them anymore, and possibly give them "ammunition" to harass me even more over I bill I not only paid in full, but closed the account (via the now defunct) credit grantor?
