No message left. Keeps calling. I called message back and 'Sandy' answered. No company name was given.

This place called me telling me i oew $58 to nicor gas company. I asked this man that said he was a manager at the company why do i still have gas service. He got very upset and told me that i better pay this or he will ruin my credit. He also told my husband that he has big ***** and dont know what hes dealing with. I had to c****e my cell phone number because of this. I called nicor and they had no clue who they are.

Called on 6/16/09 at 8:25 a.m. Phone rang twice and then stopped. No message.

I had a "person" named Paul call me from this number today, impersonating a legitimate bill collector.  He knew my former address, my maiden name, former married name, and current married surname.  He knows my social, or at least the last 4 numbers of it.  He knows that I am a "large lady", because the store that I apparently owe money to is a store that caters to "large ladies".I don't know how Paul knows all of this, and it's highly disturbing, because the store, named "16+" (or some other variation thereof) doesn't exist, or at least doesn't exist as a store that I have ever shopped at, or a store that is large enough to have its own credit.  (I found a tiny Greek boutique with a similar name in my search.)  Paul picked the right person to victimize, because in addition to being physically ill, and vulnerable in that way, my ex-husband has stolen my iden***y in the past (when I was in the hospital fighting for my life, nonetheless), and with another lady, opened a bank account, etc.  So it wasn't impossible for me to believe that there was some outstanding debt that I didn't initiate.  However, this smelled fishy, and with some research, I found that indeed this place didn't exist, and that people were also complaining about being targeted as senior citizens with this agency trying to force them to pay power bills from nearby companies that they'd never signed up with, and other complaints.  When my husband called Paul to discuss all of this, and tried to ask him rational questions that one might want to ask before handing over a personal check, Paul ***g up on him.  My husband called him back, and Paul got in a yelling match.  My hubby also, still unbeknownst to Paul, caught the shyster by asking him if he was in Colorado (the location of the phone number and debt collection agency he was supposedly working for), and Paul said "no", three times.  Finally, when my husband asked for a contact number for the store in question, '16+' or 'Sixteen Plus', or whatever, Paul spent three and a half minutes mumbling to himself, and tapping at his keyboard, before telling him that he 'couldn't find one'.  After Paul was confronted with the facts, from hubby, that even if a debt had been incurred, the statute of limitations for debt collection is 4 years (the debt, according to Paul, would have had to have been incurred at least 9-10 years ago), Paul s****ed in on a last resort of a guilt campaign, saying things like "Well, your wife obviously CARES about her credit, but it's clear that YOU don't!" It very well may be that these people are hiding behind the name of 'IEI Financial', like a spam e-mail, as they have one number on caller ID, and another callback number in a completely different state, and find it to their advantage to use this company (bonded in Texas, and signed with the BBB) as their own.  Or it may be that this company is as unscrupulous as all of this.  My husband will be calling IEI directly and seeing if he can find 'Paul' in order to figure that out later on this afternoon.  Regardless, I sincerely suggest that anyone who sees this phone number on their caller ID either disregard it; pick it up and put it back down, LOUDLY; or demand that these individuals remove them from their list and never call a***n.

calling my cell phone, are they going to fay for my minutes too.

i get a call from this number around twice a day it rings three times on my cell phone and if i dont answer they **** up very annoying

i have been getting calls from them since i signed up for cell phone service from cingular (now AT&T) some 4 years ago. funnily the new phone i bought came arrived at my doorstep with a voicemail...from guess who...IEI financial services. since then they call me about 3-4 times a month! sometimes it flashes as unknown, sometimes as an Indianapolis number. i have friends in Indy so i would answer. sometimes the call is voice activated i.e. its blank if you say nothing when you answer the call. i have a su****ion somehow they get the phone numbers from the phone company. such scamsters!
