I've gotten calls as well, 1 every other day for about a week. Always just static. Strange.
They are harassing one of my family members so I decided to give them a dose of their own medicine.Called *67 then their number a woman picked up, I demanded that she tell me the company name, She said it's "Business Office TCI" she wanted to know if I was returning a phone call and was a little surprised I asked her her name and she hung up.I suggest everyone do this do this and make them shut up!
Multiple calls received daily for over a week - often 3 calls in a 5 minute span. If answered, no person on the other end, just static. If sent to voice mail, there is an occasional message of just static followed by a disconnect. Who is this and what will it take to stop the calls?1?!
I receive multiple calls daily from this number! Often 3 calls within a span of 5 minutes. There is never anyone on the other end, just static/background noise. If they call 6 times a day, there may be one voicemail, but it's the same static/background noise. This is ridiculous! If some posters are correct and it's a debt collector, I'm sure it's for my ex who has never lived in this house, had this number, and have been divorced from for over 5 years. Why can't people get their records straight?!?!?!
I received calls from them every day. Today I pick the phone up and a women asked my name and hung up. I called back, and asked a man to remove my phone from their data base, but he Refused and hung up. I called again and spoke with a women, she said that she called, calls and will call me tomorrow again! She did not explain what she wants and why she calls me! I asked my phone company to block their phone number and will let a police department to know about their calls.

I received calls from this number, never did they leave a message. I called back the number, the woman on the other end told me that if I kept getting smart she would not remove my phone number, since it was the wrong number! She hung up. I called back, she answered again, she told me to have a nice day and hung up. I called again and a guy answered, he hung up before I could say anything. I called again, and spoke with a different women, who removed my number out of their system. I will be reporting this to the Attorney Generals office first thing in the morning.
I recieved a phone call from 1-201-215-2673. They asked for a person which does not live here and when told the woman, she hung up. I called back and ask who they are. TCI. Tech (?) Collect. They insisted on knowing who they called for. When I refused to say, they told me. Apparently they ran the caller ID. She asked why I had called and I told her I wanted to know who was calling my phone and that I wanted to run a search on them on the internet. She said fine and hung up. The search had one hit. This site. TCI is apparently newer or running under some other name or names also.
Got a call from a human at this number asking for previous (clearly deadbeat) holder of this cell phone- I've had the phone for 18 months and the calls still haven't stopped. I told the guy that Deadbeat no longer had this number and I had no idea how to get hold of him. He apologized and said they'd correct their records.
I have gotten two calls from this number and it's at morning time I listen to the voicemail but it's only background noises and i have had this phone for about 2 months now cause i got it as a new phone for my birthday and now I want the unknown calling to stop!
So far I have received 3 calls from this number. Since I do not know who is calling, I let it go to voice mail. Nothing but background noise for a message
Me, too..calls every other day... Area Code 201 is New Jersey...No clue who it is.Here's what I've learned is possibly going on......Holders of an original debt they have with someone are allowed to write off the debt and probably get some sort of tax deduction from the write off...I don't know for sure because I've not researched it yet.Then they turn around and sell a package of written off debts to some bottom feeding debt collection company who then hounds you for a debt several years old and....Depending upon what state you live in, the debt may have already gone past the state's statue of limitations and the attempt to collect the ancient debt is a violation of the law in that paticular state.My suggestion to everyone here is that we all start hounding our Congressmen ...Reps & Senators....before the fall elections while we still have a Congress that is relatively friendly to the interests of us little people and demand that they introduce and pass legislation and urge the President to sign into law a bill that would prohibit the selling of written off debts to third party debt collection agencies. Once a debt is written off by the party to whom it was originally owed that should be it. Finis - end of discussion. Instead of the damn thing still being sold & resold numerous times to third party collection agencies with whom the original person has no business relationship AND sold so many times & years after the original write-off that people don't even remember that they ever had a debt especially if it was something small like a disputed error on a department/clothing/home depot type, etc. store charge that got resolved or maybe never did fully get resolved.I do have one of those - about 8 years old now - a clothing store put a fraudlent charge on my account with them & refused to remove it. I never made the purchase & refused to pay for a fraudlent charge. Eventually they stopped bothering me & I thought they had FINALLY figured out to whom they should be applying the charge and had cleared my account.Not that it mattered because I stopped doing business with them as a result of this incident & have never spent another dime in any of their retail clothing outlest nor any other retail store that I become aware of as being owned by the same parent corporation.
YEP! Day AND Night..just call and leave BackGround noise as message. Called back and put on hold for the "Next Available Agent" I finally got a name- it is TCI (debt collection Incorporated).. I have NO outstanding Debts and they STILL call me.. Home AND Cell... I refuse to give my name to them.
