Caller stating they were from Professional Placement Services, but would not provide reason for calling unless I gave them my dob and address. Told her I would not provide info unless I knew why they were calling. Still would not provide reason.

855-777-0317 says they are a debt collector

Caller: 855-777-0317

Started getting calls from 888-840-4370 Professional Placement Services on my landline saying they are a debt collector. Calls started in conjunction with the start of my job search. Wondering where they got my unlisted number. There are no outstanding debts. Shameful that these creeps are out there taking advantage of people.

For the last 3 months or longer this number has called my house phone to say they are a debt collector BUT I do NOT have ANY outstanding debts !!! How do I get them to STOP CALLING ME ???? I am on the DO NOT CALL LIST but still they call !!! ????

Called and asked me for my SS# to look up my file

Job fake

Caller: Scam

Calls everyday 3 or 4 times saying call another number

They called and said that they cant leave a voicemail..and the lady who called said she couldn't tell me why they were calling me, and she needed to tansfer me overy to someone else and they could tell me why. I was put on hold and then the line disconnected....or they hung up. Really weird.

This place called me several minutes ago using an automated device. I choose the option to speak with their people because the name spoken by the device sounded familiar. Upon reaching a representative, I asked them multiple questions: Q) What company are you, A) "Professional Placement Services". Q) What is your line of business, A) "Client Services". Clearly this was an intentionally vague and inaccurate answer, so I questioned further. Q) Why do you have me on an automated dialer? A) "This was the number given to us to contact [name]." I knew they were now lying, because the person in question has not seen me since 1993 and there is no way they would give my number as a contact point. I asked to speak with a supervisor. I asked the same "what company" and "line of business" questions and got the same answers. I then asked Q) If you're a placement service, why would you call a number that has absolutely no connection with them - and is impossible for them to have given you? A) "We were given this number." Q) By whom? A) "By the client." Q) And who is the client? A) (ignored the question) "Do you want us to remove this number?" Q) "If you hadn't added me to an automated dialing system, you wouldn't have to remove me now. Would you?" A) "We haven't added you to any automated system." My final comment: "Then how come an automated dialer called? This is going to be reported." Their final comment: "Have a nice day." and hung up.

This number called me at work and on my cell phone. I have no idea who they are or how they got my number!

Kept noticing caller ID showing up from 1-414-224-3581, never left a message on my home phone answering machine...I was always at work. Took the day off, enjoying my morning, when I received a call a little after 11am from this phone number. Answered it and went to a recording looking for my
ex-mother-in-law at my home phone number! (Background story: I have been divorced for over 16 years, she has never lived with me at my home address or home phone number, and my ex-spouse has never lived with me at this house or at this home phone number. Yet this company is calling me?). I waited for the representative to answer, it was with "Professional Placement Services." I explained I am not my ex-mother-in-law, she has never lived at my home, she has never had this phone number and I've been divorced for over 16 years...the Hispanic-accented "lady" was rude to me for even explaining why I didn't want the company calling my house and why were they wanting my ex-mother-in-law...she said she can't give out my ex-mother-in-law's information (Note: their is an option # 3 on the company's recording at the initial call asking if you are not ____ _____ and could take a message. So now she can't give me any information? Hmmm.) Explained I'm on the do-not-call-list and she was so sarcastic, really made me mad to have some company invade my privacy on MY day off in MY home and treat me poorly over the phone. She hung up on me. I called the company back, spoke with a different representative, "Linda Washington" (if that was her real name) said the other lady removed my phone number already? But when "Linda Washington" answered the phone she asked if I was _____ _____ (my ex-mother-in-law) so how could they have removed my phone number if they still have that wrong information attached to my phone number (and they have caller ID I suppose). Still no apology from these people! I asked to speak to her supervisor, she sais his name is "Jeff Hansen," if that is really a person but sent me straight to his voicemail. I left my complaint, explained the same as I told the first representative who hung up on me, and no apology from either of his representatives of his company! I demanded a call back and an apology. Do I expect a call, no, not really. But I'm contacting my Arkansas State Attorney General's office today as I've had all of our phone numbers (home and cell phone numbers) on the do-not-call-list for many years and each year I continue to register our numbers for just in case our numbers are kicked off the do-not-call-list. I want something done. This Wisconsin company, "Professional Placement Services," at 1-414-224-3581 and their representatives need to stop harassing innocent people at home who have nothing to do with anyone else's debts! That is an invasion and we as Americans, those without debts with debt collectors, should never have to deal with calls such as these or to be treated with disrespect on our own home phone. My suggestion is if this situation is similar to your's, please contact your State Attorney General's Office and the Wisconsin's State Attorney General's Office to file your complaint against this company. This and any other company like this should be sued by our State Attorney Generals' offices. Thank you for hearing my complaint!

I've asked them twice to stop calling me.

I'm on do not call list and get jerks like this everyday....?
Why won't our government do anything about them?
Why don't they fine these people and use the funds to pay down the u.s. deficit?
