Telephone Forum

I am a college student going into finals and over the last month have received numerous calls from this number.  They do not leave a message and when you call back you get this recording.  There should be a law against this form of harassment.

They call a few times a week, I call back and their automated voice-mail says, "Based on your number, we are speaking to Samula Hill. One, there is no Samula or Hill in my family. 2. Who the f--k names their kid Samula? By the way, I am debt free so it's all BS. If I ever meet these people, I will eat their young.

I've been getting calls from this number and other numbers several times throughout the day. I researched each number and all roads lead back to one business called CBE Group, Inc. Upon further investigation, it appears they are a debt collections agency. I don't have any unpaid debts yet this company continues calling me. I don't answer numbers I don't recognize, so I let them go to voicemail, but this company never leaves a voicemail. They hang up before the four rings can route it to voicemail. I'm on the National DO NOT CALL registry so if the calls continue, I will file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and suggest others do the same. The following numbers all belong to CBE Group, Inc. and they have used these numbers to call me repeatedly during the day. I have blocked each number on my mobile phone so it does not ring when they call and instead, goes straight to voicemail. I'd suggest anyone receiving these annoying calls also look into blocking CBE Group's numbers on your phone, either through a third-party application or your wireless or landline provider.

Just says they will call again later......and they keep calling.
If the fools would identify themselves correctly, we might be inclined to answer the call.
