Number Comments
I can’t
begin to tell you how frustrated I am! There is a number that calls
my house several times a day and when I pick up, there is never anyone
there. If I let it ring through to my answering machine, they never
leave a message either. It is beyond annoying! So, I went on a hunt
to find out who it is and to see if anyone else is having the same
problem. That's when I found this Web site!
Here's how it
works: If you receive a call from a phone number that comes up as
unavailable, you can come here and search for some information about
it.
There are some
calls coming from these sorts of numbers that are trying to scam you
for your personal information. Many of them are fake debt collectors
as well. Several of the companies who are running these scams are
also breaking the rules that debt collection companies have to follow,
such as calling after restricted hours. Click
here and you will find a .PDF document of the FDCPA (Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act). That way, you will know what guidelines
they are supposed to follow and who is disobeying them.
You can also check
out the most recent additions to the site by looking through the Latest
Additions section, located below the search engine. If you do a search
and nothing comes up for the number you're looking for, you can also
file a report of your experience with that number here. Just fill
out the form that comes up, leave your commentary and then press the
Submit button.
Remember, you
can never be too careful with your personal information. It pays to
double check these types of things and this Web site can help you
do just that!
