i just recently got a call from GC Services and the first thing that they asked me was what my social security number was and my credit card number. i had a hard time believing that they were an actual company. First off, i never give out my ss# unless i call them... and 4 days before they called me, i had made an online payment of $30, cuz that is what my statement said was the minimum payment. when GC Services called, they told me that i need to make another payment of $158... i dont understand.

GC Services is awful. They should not exist.

About a week ago, my husband and I started receiving calls from 713-271-3899 on our cell phone. We originally had the number that is used for our cell phone as a land line a year ago and switched over to just a cell phone this spring since it's more cost efficient and more useful for us.

Anyway, the calls started about a week ago. The phone rang, I picked it up and the caller ID showed Texas and the number, 713-271-3899. I answered the phone like I usually do with "hello" but all that was on the other end was silence.

I've been getting calls from that same number over a week now, sometimes three or four of them in a day. They try and call at all different hours. Sometimes in the morning as early as 8, sometimes in the evening as late as 10. They called three times on Sunday afternoon.

The thing is, they never say anything, they just hang up. It doesn't matter if I say "hello", my husband says hello, or we don't say anything at all but just pick it up and listen.

Is there any way to stop this kind of call? I've tried calling the number back and just get a busy signal no matter when I try to call it.

You would figure if these were debt collectors, they would say something in order to collect a debt. Although I find it interesting that debt collectors would be harrassing us considering we don't have any debts whatsoever. We don't even own credit cards. The only thing we have that we're paying off is our car loan, and we have been making the payments on time every month to Wells Fargo with no problems.

I came across this board because the number that is harrassing me is listed here, in hopes someone can help a little, or at least shed some light onto this issue.

I don't owe anyone any money but the same person that has been calling KMO has been calling me. Same # and everything 7132713899. They just call and they don't say anything so I hang up and they keep calling me.

I receive 4 to 6 calls daily on my office phone from #713-271-3899 looking for Teresa. I tell them that this is a business and noone named Teresa has ever worked here and to stop calling me! They just keep calling. Today I told them again there is no Teresa and they said- yes there is! What idiots!

So I got 4 calls from this number this morning in the span of 2 hours and when i finally answered they asked for me and I pretended I was a friend answering for me and the woman said "well her and I have a business matter to discuss". When I asked what she would not tell me and she asked me for another number she could call to reach me. I asked her where she was calling from and she just said "thanks I'll try again later". It concerns me she knew my name.

We keep getting calls at least four times a day from 713-271-3899. The caller ID says Operations Div. When we answer no one responds. We have tried to call the number back but the line is busy.

I just recieved a second call from 713 271 3889. This time they didn't just hang up, the started talking. They asked for "Teresa B...." I remembered someone saying in here that they were calling their work asking for a teresa, so I played along and said "She's not in right now, may I take a message" and they gave me a number to call them back, the number is GC Services 1-877-290-8894. I called the 877 number back right away, and started asking the guy who answered a bunch of questions. I asked what GC Services was, what they did... where they were located. The Guy couldn't answer any of the questions. I asked why they were calling my house looking for a girl that didnt' live here, they said that the girl "Teresa" has called from my house before and the computer recorded my phone number as being hers. There full of shit, no teresa has ever used my phone. Something is fishy. I will continue to figure these people out, and hey.. why not try calling them all the time asking for random people. they do it to us.

The same thing happens to me, they call atleast 10 times a day and when you pick up there's nothing on the other end, but last night I did hear a voice and then they hung up. Who are these people and is there anything that can be done to get them to stop calling? It really is harrassment.

Add me to the ranks of people that they are calling. So far the two people that I've spoken to from this number are nice, but out of about a dozen calls now only twice when I've picked up have I actually spoken to someone. All the other times they've just hung up. This is VERY annoying! I don't even know the person that they are looking for. They really are making me regret getting a land line after being without one for several years....
