They called me about a debt that isn't even mine!! It's a relative who won't answer their calls, so they started calling me!! Thanks to all the comments above. Now I know who and what they are.

These are probably spoofed numbers. There are companies that provide that service. You call the company and they forward your call using a different caller ID. That would be a lot cheaper then having to have an exchange that size to handle all the numbers.

I'm going to call the Better Business Bureau right now.

Here's the solution - DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE! Every time you answer the phone from one of these a$$holes, they know they have reached a good working number.....and will continue to call you. Do not answer or let your machine pick up! After a couple of tries, they will move on to someone else!

Been living same address since 1979, got a call today from them about an account closed since 2002. Told the caller to go pound sand. Have block the number,

They suck schlong

They are a new one for me. Thank you all for posting the FYI's. So far even their robo-callers sound kind of lame. If I happen to get them on the phone one day, I do hope they play nice. I'll leave them unblocked for a couple more days, just for kicks. If I'm awake and somewhat lucid I like to play them weird farm animal noises and listen to the reaction. Or call them immediately back on a different phone / line - each phone on speaker - and let them talk to each other. I'm terminal (with outrageous medical bills) so I'm just waiting 'em out.( PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES)

Again, for the ninth time in 11 minutes, at work, when they have been forewarned that my employers don't care for these calls, Portfolio Recovery has tried reaching into my wallet that only has moths. PRA, Be forewarned that we have gone to the state attorney general's office in Austin for retribution.Thanks to Cornholio for the following; I have reposted these for those who have missed them so that you can program, then block them in your phones:Here's Portfolio Recovery's other numbers: (118) 007-7214(204) 949-3108(205) 423-4020(205) 588-8180(205) 588-8181(205) 588-8182(205) 588-8183(205) 588-8184(205) 588-8185(205) 588-8186(205) 588-8187(205) 588-8188(205) 588-8189(205) 588-8197(212) 000-4956(215) 944-8989(239) 642-8598(316) 663-7811(316) 663-7812(316) 663-7813(347) 504-4345(401) 551-1356(404) 580-0720(404) 592-5171(404) 721-2521(404) 921-2521(404) 921-2537(404) 968-4848(404) 592-5171(405) 329-5714(407) 347-4010(407) 374-4011(407) 347-4012(407) 347-4013(407) 347-4014(407) 347-4015(407) 347-4016(407) 347-4017(407) 347-4018(407) 347-4019(407) 347-4020(407) 347-4021(407) 347-4022(407) 347-4023(407) 347-6414(412) 282-1420(412) 282-1421(412) 282-1422(412) 282-1423(412) 282-1424(412) 282-1425(412) 282-1426(412) 282-1427(412) 282-1428(412) 282-1429(416) 800-9148(440) 580-0720(443) 313-1380(443) 313-1381(443) 313-1382(443) 313-1383(443) 313-1384(443) 313-1385(443) 313-1386(443) 313-1387(443) 313-1388(443) 313-1389(443) 313-1382(484) 489-2840(484) 489-2841(510) 355-1780(510) 343-3502(512) 519-3650(513) 878-4916(518) 207-3600(518) 207-3601(518) 207-3602(518) 207-3608(518) 207-3618(602) 264-2270(602) 795-1383(602) 286-5100(602) 795-1383(602) 264-2270(604) 637-3300(605) 782-2890(616) 608-0982(618) 772-9900(620) 263-3537(620) 662-1492(620) 662-8870(626) 209-2241(626) 209-2244(661) 673-4507(678) 265-1568(678) 880-8705(702) 410-7069(702) 410-7076(702) 410-7489(714) 215-8010(714) 408-3640(714) 680-3192(714) 992-2282(727) 637-8527(727) 637-8527(731) 215-8010(731) 984-7690(731) 215-8010(757) 275-8578(757) 321-2501(757) 321-2502(757) 321-2503(757) 321-2504(757) 321-2505(757) 321-2506(757) 321-2507(757) 321-2508(757) 321-6270(757) 321-6271(757) 321-6279(757) 321-6280(757) 321-6281(757) 321-6282(757) 519-9300(757) 627-4987(757) 784-3559(757) 847-4539(757) 864-0020(757) 321-2508(757) 321-6279(757) 321-6282(757) 321-6280(757) 961-3544(757) 961-3545(757) 961-3546(757) 961-3547(757) 961-3548(757) 519-9300(757) 961-3545(757) 961-3544(757) 864-0020(786) 206-8643(800) 297-7691(800) 336-2373(800) 427-7142(800) 473-7994(800) 564-8818(800) 772-1413(800) 860-0644(817) 479-9154(818) 996-0404(847) 678-9710(847) 749-9731(847) 791-0193(847) 994-2544(847) 994-2540(847) 994-2544(847) 678-9710(858) 346-1184(859) 918-0780(859) 918-0781(859) 918-0782(864) 268-3762(866) 240-7530(866) 296-0635(866) 298-1447(866) 428-6589(866) 658-7508(866) 691-3568(866) 940-7640(866) 887-0973(866) 891-3257(866) 925-7109(866) 940-7640(877) 803-0008(877) 275-8236(877) 749-9731(877) 803-0008(877) 876-8723(888) 218-5212(888) 218-5212(888) 543-6072(888) 772-7326(913) 800-7559(914) 513-0163(914) 513-0443(918) 442-0320(954) 622-9827(973) 947-4806(978) 570-2305(980) 939-7534

You can now add 412-235-6111 to this list now. I submitted it to NOMOROBO..

Just an update-- Portfoolio called from this particular number on Monday morning -- it was call #515 !!!! since their barrister Pearson wrote a letter more than 3 1/2 years ago, stating that they had "decided to cease collection efforts" on this (unverified) debt. (He admitted in writing that the so-called debt could not be verified.) If these bottom-feeding verminous pond scum were not such pests, they would be entertaining. They have called four more times Monday, Tuesday, and today. Nobody ever answers, nobody ever will, but to this day these cuddly little scum balls believe in their hearts that if they just keep trying, one day we will pick up the phone and agree to send them a generous check for their recovery facility. Daily reminder: do not answer, do not converse with them, do not provide even one nugget of information, not even your name. If you want to limit the number of calls per day, and to see them identify themselves in the caller ID, then complain to your state's consumer protection division in the attorney general's office. They can't make the calls stop, but they can direct the vermin to follow the rules. This will keep them from being too intrusive, and will not cost you a cent, or much of your time. Works real well if you have caller ID.
