555-555-1212 / 5555551212

I just got the call. It left an automated message on my voice mail saying records released by the California Department of Motor Vehicles indicates I'm paying too much for auto insurance, and to press <1> to take advantage of the "free service" or <3> to be removed from the list. My number is unlisted.

oh, well. You could develop thick skin and just ignore them, or block them, as I have done now for years. They eventually get the message!! You are so absolutely right to smell a rat! They usually give themselves away by what they say, or don't, in the message. More often than not, it is a scammer or possibly a collection agency trying to collect on an old debt which you've forgotten or paid off and was never updated in their database. These boiler room operations trade debt like baseball cards, selling them off to the next corp., and the next, and the next, ad nauseum, until finally they have spent all their meager profit margin. Just think of all the poor schmucks being paid 8 bucks an hour to robo-call you five times a week, and you begin to get the picture. It isn't the calling person's fault, it's the corp. who stupidly bought the batch of debts thinking they would make at least SOME of the money back. They prey upon people falling for their legalese and slick talk.The last in line gets really desperate, sounding all legal and threatening like with possible court action when the item is about to be dropped from your credit file. Note they NEVER say which agency / boiler room / legal jurisdiction they are calling from / about to file in...... This REALLY annoys them, far more than the calls annoy you, 'cause they don't make any profit... Double WIN for YOU! That is, if you truly do not owe the debt, or have the means to repay, or it is truly a scammer (99% of the time, it is.)Advice: Become stronger than they - you have the power, they don't - and just ignore / block them. They eventually go away, like most desperate collectors, scammers and cons. bon chance!!

I just got a call from this company, sounded like a collection company. Asked for someone who doesn't live here.

This number is also calling my phone. The recording says that it's Capital Management. I'm going to check with the Do Not Call government listing to see what can be done.

got a call from this number, debt collector looking for someone else... there real number is 888-653-2382. Capital Management... obviously they are being deceptive by using the 555-555-1212 number debt collectors are scum...

I get calls from this number pretty much daily. As others who have commented, I don't answer it. Varies...says "important business matter" or just hangs up sometimes. Wastes my time and is annoying.

When did you start getting this number show up. For me it has been since April. 4\5 times a day starting at 8:30am going to as late as 10pm

I call this 555-555-1212 back a recording came on seying " this is the YMAX communcations this call was successful." then hung up. This number call as I was typing this. It is also a collection for Bell

I started receiving calls from this number yesterday 11/28/11 at 7:06PM it is now 11/29/11 1:26 PM and they have called a total of 5 times. I answered the last time and they did not identify themselves but they did know my name I told them they had the wrong number.

I don't know who these people are but I want to report them! This is my first call. It happened at 10pm, way past their bedtime!
