Somehow these idiots got my cell #, I don't know how they got MY number to ask me for someone I don't know in some freakish sounding mechanical voice.  Only 2 businesses have my cell number and they are none that would have any connection to a (fake sounding) collection agency.  I'll be calling them tomorrow and telling them to remove my number from their call list or I'll be chasing them down with a threat to sue for harrassment.

Oslo? Norway? Financial powerhouse that it is....seriously???

This clearly isn't ING although they are vainly trying to create the multi-national facade.

They won't last long at this rate....any dimwit can tell you that simply PLACING many phone calls does not yield many dollars...staff and office space cost money.

As such, collections agencies come and go like ticks on a dog's arse. (In this analogy, the debtor would be the dog and the collector the arse-sucker).

By necessity they change names and phone numbers frequently. It is the only means by which to maintain commercial viability. The more frequently the debtor can identify the collector, the less effective the cat-and-mouse game becomes.

It seems to me that even "unknown" and "spoofed" phone numbers have also become rather ineffective ploys. A lot of people simply rely on voicemail and number familiarity as opposed to answering their phone because it happened to ring.

Maybe you guys should move into the current millenium and try something on social networking...you know...."out" them....

Given that these networks are ultimately used to stroke people's egos and tailor images, it would be a pretty effective way to garner your desired response. Nothing quite destroys a public image like financial issues...except maybe sexual issues...

This number keeps calling my house.  I don't know  the number so i don't answer.   After checking here i'm perplexed, if it is a collection agency, i don't know why they would be calling me.   I don't owe anyone any money, whatsoever!!!!

Aktiv Capital.  Collection Agency.

It's a collector

I am currently writing software for pc's that will block calls with a recorded message. I.E  if you block the number +1 800-888-8888 and they call you they will be directed to a recorded message of your choosing. So when you get calls from prerecorded robots, your prerecorded robot will be there to answer and talk to their reps :DThey are going to annoy us with prerecorded calls we will do the same. These jerkof*s called the wrong house when they called my house. This software will be 100% free and will be finished soon. You can block all 800 numbers or 888 exc... It will be called SKiDKiDS Call Blocker.
