harassing phone calls

same details "you might not even be aware.(serious matter)would like to talk to you before deciding." Sounds strange. No details on who he's with.

Same M.O. as others have stated here.  "Chris Smith" calls and in a menacing voice, says I am involved in some important matter and I need to call back before he acts on "so****ing".  He doesn't say what or why, or even what company he is with, sounds really shady.It is likely a bill collector as others have stated, as I recently came into medical debt I simply cannot afford(Time for bankruptcy). This call however does not follow the practice of stating that they are bill collectors

I received a call and he was so rude.  .  Hesaid that he wanted to be for an outstanding bill from a doctor visit. I said I would have to check to see if it was paid. He told me that I had to pay it! I told him I was not paying anything until I checked to see if I already paid it.He was insistant.I told him if I owed the doctor I would pay the doctor directly .  He said a few nasty words to me, I told him not to call my house a***n.  He said he would call whenever he wanted to.Could you believe this guy!

"Chris Smith" is an imaginary figure at CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. His REAL NAME is Wesley Schutts. You see, these con men are the first tio accuse ANYONE they call about being liars, thieves, etc. However, ALL of their calls to people are based on lies that they themselves perpetrate. Example(s): They ALWAYS cloak their phone number. The messages they leave are deceptive. The people they claim they are, don't exist at their septic tank that they call a business, i.e. "Chris Smith." Do yourself a favor and steer clear of these con men, liars and thieves. Record any of their live calls whenever legal. Report them to the FTC and your state Attorney General. If enough people did that, they would get shut down eventually and people like Wesley Schutts would be sent off to prison where they belong!

I received a call and actually found out that my insurance did not cover the full amount of a doctor bill and that I owed some money to my doctor's office. I spoke with several people that work for the company (stacey edwards/greg williams/chris smith. I was able to work with them in setting up a payment plan and got it taken care of before the debt hit my credit. I think you guys should call them back and listen to what they have to say...you never know when you are going to want to finance so****ing and you won't be able to because you thought a phone call was a scam...but whatever

Leaves a message but doesn't say for whom or who he's with or why he's calling

Have received several calls from a Chris Smith at 800-973-5402.  Same spill everytime.  Only gives his name and number.  Never address who he is calling for or give a reference number like other collection companies do.  It has to be a scam of some kind.  I have unforunately have had to deal with collection companies and this Chris Smith is not following the guidelines that are set up for collections even with the new confidential information regulations.

Yep that piece of s**t wont stop calling me eighter,I just got another call from Chris smith same bu***hit.I called back got the music and then a guy answered,and I said:Who are you?He said who are you? I said you called me,who are you ?he said what is your phone number I said that doesn't matter who are you? And he ***g up on me.Chicken s**t....I pay all my bills on time and have good credit.I wish I could reach through the phone when he calls and grab his toung and stick it in my a**,DONT CALL A***N or next time it will be my 450 pound brothers a**.

I got a call from this do***ebag Chris Smith. The message was that I'm "directly involved in a situation that [his] office has been appointed to handle." I spoke with my attorney and these calls likely violate the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Collection agents must identify themselves as collection agents when they leave messages like that. There are other reasons why the call could be illegal. Call a consumer protection attorney like I did and fight back.The company this imaginary "Chris Smith" works for is called Capital Accounts. Here's the company's web site:http://www.usecapital.com/about.htm

I got the same call stating the same BS.

Keep getting pre-recorded messages from this person. I call the 800 # back and get rather nice music.

Keep getting pre-recorded messages from this clown.  I call back and get rather nice music, though.  They never say who or what they want.  I found a company name and e-mailed them and told them never to call my # a***n or I'd contact the county attorney for prosecution.

same message from chris smith received today at my work number. i'm involved in an important matter i may not be aware of. please call 1-800-973-5402. this is the first call i've gotten but was so strange i decided to do some research. i found this and 3 other sites full of people with the same situation

Got this same call in cincinnnati. Chris Smith,  I'm on the no call list but can't think of any bills that are outstanding.  I'm with Bob these people better  hide, as soon as I can track the number I will look into legal action.. hehe..

I get calls from these BOZZOs EVERY DAY...  It's either Chris Smith (yeah, right!) or a female voice who identifies herself as Stacey Everett (yeah right a***n!) They can call 'til***** Freezes Over, but I won't give them the satisfaction of answering them...  I wish they were operating from right down the street...  I guarantee they would NEVER disturb my privacy a***n...

I've only gotten one call but I don't like callers that don't identify their business or tell who they are calling for. My voice mail is generic and does not identify me or my spouse.

Chris Smith called me (I live in TX) and said it was a very important matter that I am directly involved in and that I may not know, but he did not want to make any decisions without speaking to me.  However he never said WHO he was looking for and he never said who he was with.  I'm not calling back.  If he knew my name, maybe.  That's why I did a search on the phone number, and found this.  Interesting.  Bogus I'd say.

As the other folks have said a Chris Smith left a call back number of 800-973-5402 and that it was an important matter-asked for no one by name.  If it is a collection agency-I have no idea why they'd want me or my husband, since he didn't say who or what he wanted.  I called the number and it went directly to canned music.  Sounds bogus to me.  The caller id said unknown name and a different number 720-221-3820.

Chris Smith just called my house phone saying I had a very important matter that he'd rather not make any decisions before he talked to me I call him back on my cell phone, and all I got was music.

Person by the name of Chris Smith left a message saying so****ing like "you are involved in a serious matter that you may not be aware of"..."I would like to talk to you before acting on the matter"...Called from

I have no idea, but seems todeliver a menacing message of "you might not even be aware that you are involved in a serious matter." on a pre-recorded call.

Same thing here in Texas.  Numerous calls from a "Chris Smith" who wont identify himself. Only a "very important matter I may not know that I'm involved in"  Bu***hit!  No one here by the name he gave anyhow.

This ******'s been calling pretty much every day for months - never answered figuring he'd give up.  Not yet - very persistant.

Capitol One accounts...they ARE bill collectors. I called and spoke them and then called the dr they were calling for. Turns out they were right. I had a bill that needed to be paid. Maybe you should call. They actually got an old collection account off my credit, though I still have nothing nice to say about bill collectors!

Chris Smith Call like above automated call, call back leaves 8009735402, caller id comes up with a number out Chicago 314-2591240.  i have left several messages, still no return call from them. Am calling the chicago number today and see what happens

Person is looking for Kimberley Kohler. No such person here. My wife and I have no children and my wifes name is Sandra.

Several calls from Chris Smith - "very important" "matter that you will want to know about - can't give any details over the phone" - get put directly on (hold?) when I call - some canned music playing - who are these people? Telemarketers? Debt Collectors?
