Mr. Jerome left a message stating to call him back at 800-420-6951 ext 176 - I ahve no idea who he is. My caller ID recorded the call coming from

# has shown up on my old, out of service cell phone. Have no idea who is calling, or even how they got a call through to an otherwise non-working cell phone???

# showed up on an old, as far as I knew, non-working, pre-paid cell I only had for emergency calls. No company listed in the caller ID, and as far as I can tell no message left??? I've never used the number that is/was****igned to that phone for anything more than family/emergency use.I'd be very leary of answering or giving out any personal information, as it is very likely a scam (unless perhaps they misdialed, although it sounds like a so-called debt scam to me from reading the posts above.)

They claim to not be a telemarketer. They claim to be debt collectors but it's illegal to leave messages about this stuff. Also, if you google the phone number there are ***DREDS of complaints. Plus, they have my name and address wrong! Be careful!

they wont give me any information

A gentleman called Ben Thomas called originally to my house, he said that he was calling to collect on a debt with a person that lives in my house. The debt was quite high, nearly $3,000.00. He was very nice. With permission of the debtor in this house, Ben did talk to me and I made him an offer of settlement but it was too much for him to deal with, so he told me that his manager will call me back. Well.. his manager did call me back, his name was Will Lancaster, another GENTLEMAN. We spoke at length many times on the phone but he still was not able to approve my settlement offer because of the amount. But a***n I state that Will Lancaster seeamed to try real hard to do his best on negotiating with me for a settlement but at last the best he said that he can do was to settle the debt about $900 less and we spoke many times on the phone. The only problem was that the chance that the other resident of this household who ows the money, can pay the difference is so **** grim that the debt will end up with the very same stale mate. Will Lancaster is waiting for me to agree to his discounted amount and he has been calling me and leaving messages but I have been away working the hours he has been calling. Anyway, a***n I state that the 2 debt collectors I mentioned above were trully gentlemen and in fact a pleasure to negotiate and deal with (specially Will Lancaster). Maybe we will connect a***n one of this days. I know what I am saying is a shock in this forum. Maybe it was the way I spoke to them. I know that these bill collectors are usually very rude and a pain in the a.. to deal with. I am pretty sure that they have to deal with some real pain in a.. people as well when they are making their collection phone calls. I suggest to talk to them like normal people and let them know what your situation is, what you can actually and realistically do and even try to negotiate settlements that you can deliver with them. I am sure that there will always be many of them that are just total as*es. Maybe ask for their manager in that case. If you owe and have not paid, sooner or later you will have to deal with it in one form or another, they will hit your credit real bad.

They called my cell phone and the guy's voice sound like it came out of a bad movie. Said it was urgent and to call him because its so****ing I cannot ignore. Was very smug on the message. I didnt call him back.

Apex left a message for my ex-husband of 4 years at my parent's home number.  Um, whatever.....can't possibly be real.....smells like a scam.

They are scammers.They call and asked that I call back on 1 800 420 6951.  I did.  I got a recorded message that wanted me to further call 1 900 622 8000.  900 numbers are premium fee based phone calls.  Anybody who calls that number is going to be billed huge fees.  And that is the scam.

To call back and they keep calling Apex Financial Debt collector service I told them several times not to call back but keeps harassing.
