(217) 582-4144

This number calls me about once an hour, every day, and never leaves a message.  I tried calling the number back, and it said "One moment, please."  Then ***g up on me.

calls two or three times a day and is an automated service

Two calls in two days. Automated voice, press 2 if you are not this person, press 1 if you are.

Been receiving calls from an unavailable name and unavailable number for several weeks about a message they had.  My wife has been ****ing up, last night and today the number displayed, probably the same people sounds like the same message my wife had told me about.  They stated they were looking for someone whom we know lived here over 1 year ago, didn't even have a phone in the house, maybe a collection agency going off the address, the recording advised to press 1 if you were the person or press 2 if you were not the person.   I pressed 2 we will see if they call back a***n.

This is a debt collector. First National Collection Bureau. They s**** area codes, to deceive people into thinking the call is local. This is to defeat caller ID, and have the person answer the phone.But their area codes and prefixes are not well thought out. Generally the area codes, are within the alledged debtor's state, but can be several area codes away from the debtor's actual area code. Also, if one researchs the 3 digit prefixes, they will usually find it to be one of a very small town or unincorporated area. These are usually quite rural and sp**** in population, where no place of business with an automated dialing system has much liklihood of being located. For instance 217-582 is located in Ogden, IL. Look this up on a map, and you will see my point.These are basically mass fishing expeditions, hoping a few debtors will copy the number left in the voice mail, and return the call rea****g a live collector. These collection firms deal in great volume, and this ****od obviously yields some results.I would bet all the previous reports on this number, come from posters in Illinois.

I had a call from them too!! Could not understand the message they left. I tried to call them back and all I got was a message that said "one moment please" and no more........

Who is using this number?
