(773) 570-3255

I got a call from this number saying they wanted to reduce the interest rate on my credit card. (Yeah, sure.) I asked which credit card and she said 'Your Visa or Master Card'. (Like 99% of us don't have one or the other.) I asked her to give me the last four digits from my card. (Like that was going to happen.) Her response "If you'll give me your Social Security number, I'd be happy to."  I laughed, told her it was too bad she had to make a living that way and ***g up.

The caller leaves a message that says they are calling about 'your credit card account' and how you have a limited time only to get a great interest rate, or words to that effect.  When I answered and asked WHAT credit card, they can't tell me. When pressed, they **** up.On my caller ID it says call is from "David Aldworth' and that the # is 773 570 3255.  I haven't tried to call that #, but others seem to say it is not a good number.

Great advice and info, Joe. Thanks for the detailed post.

The national pandemic of telephone terrorism perpetrated by desperate criminal collection agencies is because they are trying to terrorize people who are naive enough to answer and submit to unsolicited telephone calls or written "collection" letters that have no legitimate legal debt****ociated with them or any of the companies, universities, or whomever else they claim to represent. Because most "little guys" were bankrupted by the criminal Wall St/Congress/Big Oil/Big Bankers/Big Business/Military/Robber Barons, so the desperate collection agencies are attempting to collect unpaid debts from innocent people by terrorizing them into submission.Word of advice. NEVER answer any calls you don't recognize or are not expecting. Use selective call rejection service if available, or switch to an Internet-based telephone service which provides comprehensive call rejection options. If rogue calls become chronic, turn off all the ringers on all of your phones except one, and set its volume to the minimum setting. If you don't answer the call and the caller is legitimate, they will usually leave a voicemail after the first or second try. Rogue callers never leave voicemail messages because that could be used as evidence a***nst them if it came to a lawsuit. If you receive a rogue letter in the mail warning you of some "collection" action a***nst you, if you don't actually owe it, reply with a short letter stating that you don't owe it. Or if you do owe all or part of it, reply with so****ing like "You claim I owe you a debt. Under §809 FDCPA, I request validation of this debt."Only give them your name as THEY have written it to you (e.g. “John Doe” not “Jonathon Q. Doe” or however you normally sign your own name), address, and the account number they report. But if you do not owe the debt (zombie debt, aged debt, mistaken or stolen iden***y, forgery, etc.) state that you have never done any business with them or with the (alleged) original creditor of any kind and you expect the collection agency to close the matter, stop harassing you and take any bad credit marks they've caused off of your credit rating, and furthermore, that any further contact from them must be in writing on their official business correspondence letterhead. Send your letter to them a.s.a.p., always within thirty days, first class certified mail return receipt requested. If they refuse it and you get the letter back unopened, leave it unopened and save it in your files as evidence a***nst them should they pursue legal action a***nst you. If they did receive it and continue to pursue action a***nst you, let them. The judge will throw it out of court. If the rogue collection agency sells your account to another rogue collection agency just tell them the claim has been proven invalid and offer to send them a copy of your letter to the previous rogue collection agency. Warn all your friends about this rash of desperate collection agency terrorism, and how to combat it. Knowledge is power. The more you learn how to combat rogue collection agencies, back-taxes scammers, phishing scammers, and other flimflammers, the more you will learn how easy it is to do.Above all, keep a record of everything, of every rogue call w/ caller ID information displayed including time and day of each call. Maintain a complete file on any snail-mailed intimidation from rogue collection agencies, including copies of all correspondences and postal receipts. Reporting rogue calls on sites like800notes.com, whocallsme.com, phoneowner.info is a great idea too, because many people find these sites by googling for the rogue number(s) after receiving calls from them.--S**** Here:http://www.google.com/search?num=50&q=%C2%A7809+FDCPAhttp://www.google.com/search?num=50&q=zombie-debthttp://www.google.com/search?num=50&q=slander-of-credithttp://www.google.com/search?num=50&q=limited ... llection-agencyhttp://www.privacyrights.org/fs/fs27-debtcoll.htmhttp://www.ehow.com/way_5849463_do-up-certified-dispute-letter.htmlhttp://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Defeat-a-Collection-Agencyhttp://hubpages.com/hub/Battling-Consumer-Debt-Collectors-Part-2-I-Do-Not-Owe-This-Debthttp://hubpages.com/hub/Sample-letters-for-disputes-to-creditors--collectors-and-credit-bureaushttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FDCPAhttp://www.fair-debt-collection.com/Disputing ... ute-letter.html (most say the above sample letter is too long and should be much shorter)http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/statue-limitations.htmlCredit Report:https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jspUSPS:http://www.usps.com/send/waystosendmail/extra ... mailservice.htmhttp://www.usps.com/send/waystosendmail/extra ... eiptservice.htmOther links:http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/02/29 ... tors/index.htmlhttp://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Defeat-a-Collection-Agencyhttp://clarkhoward.com/shownotes/category/12/103/358/http://clarkhoward.com/topics/drop_dead_letter.html--Information for filing complaints a***nst rogue telephone calls,telephone harassment, false "bill collector" harassment, etc.,in the United States and Ca***a:UNITED STATESUS National Do Not Call Registry, file complaint: https://www.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspxFederal Trade Commissionhttp://www.ftc.gov 1-877-382-4357File complaint online: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.govhttps://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=enthat is at www.ftc.govFederal Communications CommissionTelephone toll free:  1-888-225-5322http://www.fcc.gov/contacts.htmlFile complaint online: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumers.htmlhttp://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htmFCC Abandoned Calls Complaint form:http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/1088D-R.pdfemail:  [email protected] Business Bureau, Check out a Business, find owner, contact info; file a Complaint:http://www.bbb.org/us/INTERNET CRIME:File report for Internet Crime at:Internet Crime Complaint Centrehttp://www.ic3.gov/default.aspxCA***ARCMP Phone bustersTelephone toll free: 1-888-495-8501Mon-Fri 8:30-5:20 pm (Eastern Time)E-mail: [email protected] Website is at: http://www.phonebusters.com  File complaint online:  https://www.recol.ca/intro.aspx?lang=en(Register with a password and then can continually file complaints)Ca***a National Do Not Call Registry:Ca***ian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)Telephone toll free to File A Complaint: 1-866-580-3625(to withdraw a complaint is 877-249-2782)CRTC online complaints form: https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/pfplin-fccoin-engthat is at  www.crtc.gc.caBetter Business Bureau, Check out a Business, find owner, contact info; file a Complaint:http://www.bbb.org/ca***a/

A call once a day. When I call the number it's no longer in service and belows to a David Aldworth.

I just got a call from this clown.  Comes up same, David Aldworth 773-570-3255 (Chicago).  It's just another scam....don't give them any info ever.  I'm reporting it to my local phone company and anywhere else I can.

Thanks for the posts. Just got a call from that number with name David Aldworth on ID. I tried to answer and computer just said, "good bye." Annoyance call.

Got a call today from 773-570-3255.  Computer generated recording said "Unfortunately, your debit card status is suspended.  To reactivate, press 1 now..."I didn't and ***g up.  I checked on the internet, and all I found out is that these people are trying to scam people into believing whatever story they tell, and get your personal info.  They're "phishing" for info. If I would've pressed 1, I would've then been asked for my debit card number.  (According to another complaint I read...)I really hope that people out there don't fall for their game.  Don't give them any of your info.!I will take this up with my bank, and see if there's an appropriate way to make a formal complaint.  This number has to belong to someone, or it could be a false number to protect the company from being identified.  Yes, there are companies that actually do that.

They call 3 times a day with no message and just **** up.  Have no idea the company, what they want etc.  I am on the no call list. Am turning them in.

I have been getting calls from these clowns off and on for months.  But they've recently gone ballistic and I get at least 3 calls a day.  I tried getting them to quit by answering and attempted to speak to someone, but no avail.  I'm on no call list.  Hey lawyers!   Class action lawsuit?

They call 2/3 times a day and say "Thank you for calling IAB".  I do not have a credit card or a house.  How do I get them to stop.

NO ONE ANSWERED BUT ID SHOWED NAMEDAVID ALDWORTH

This number has been calling me 2 to 3 times a day for the past week or so. I answered it once and a woman said she was my credit counselor. When I said "Credit counselor for what company?" the line went dead. Like others have reported, I cannot call the number back without an operator saying the line has been disconnected.

I have been getting calls from this number daily but it only rings about a half a time.  this has been

People keep calling my Busines cell phone can't get them to quit calling and when they do realize it's an issue they **** up on me without taking time to remove the number

Call said that my St Vrain Valley Credit Union debit card had a billing error and I needed to press 1 to connect to their security dept to reactivate. I pressed 1 to see what would happen and the phone just went dead (I do not have such a card). I called the number back and it said it was disconnected.

people keep calling - want them to stop - don't want their products or their energy saving advice - put a stop to these idiots

I also am getting calls from this at least twice a day (!)Any information would be helpful

I get at least one call per day from this number.  I tried calling it back, but it says it is disconnected. I am on the Do Not Call List.

Unknown - Local area did not answer.
