Why does Takhar Group make scam calls even though we owe them nothing?

I just received a voicemail message today (Sat, Mar 13) from this group. The message was very, very vague: "This is the Takhar Group calling on an important matter. We require an immediate return call to 1-866-408-8299. Failure to return this call may result in a decision on a file without your input. Once again, we require a return call from you between the hours of 9 am and 7 pm eastern std time, or you may look at our website at takhargroup.com. For details of why we are contacting you our number once again is 1-866-408-8299." They did not identify toward whom the call was directed (There is more than one person living at this address). As we are NOT in past due debt to any person, entity, or business - nor have either one of us had any charge offs or "debt forgiveness" at any time, and have no children that could have possibly run something up, AND have both checked our credit reports within the last month with no problems showing..... I have no other choice but to regard this call as as a phishing scam. I have already filed a complaint with the FCC at esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm (complaint # 10-T00522820 ) and plan to follow it up with additional details if I continue to receive these calls. I also intend to report it to my state's Attorney General. I urge everyone who receives one of these calls to do the same.


I have a friend who is disabled and has a hard time getting to the phone when it rings. She has been receiving calls from Takhar aprox. every 20 minutes for days now. The last phone call I answered and they asked for Cherry Miller. I reamed them a new one and, told them there is NO Cherry Miller at this number. They continued to talk like they didn't hear a word of what I just said. I threatened to report them if they called back. I'm sure they will.

These are rude monsters too. Saying decent people would return a call. I don't answer 800 numbers I don't know and without info will not call them. They use different scare tactics like you are not decent if you don't call, to get you to return the call. I thought it sounded fishy. Good luck to those stuck with them.

They call me 2 or 3 times a day. 8 am to 9 pm. They said I have a 3yr old account from some childrens book club. I have no children that can read. 3 years ago I had no children period. I went to the police because they got very rude with me and kept asking for my account info and debit card number. I asked for a paper statent and they refused. After I went to the police. The police contacted them. Then not even an hour later I got another hateful call. I believe it is a scam and hope they don't scam anyone out of their savings

received harrassing calls from Allied Interstate from India saying we owed $100 for a bank in West Palm Beach Florida. when I call the bank I get the wrong number or a recording. Can these people put this on my credit report? We do not owe this and they have the wrong person with the same name.

help

you people are right
im only a teen and they keep clling me to tell me that a person with basic decency would call back
this is really annoying
they call me ALL THE TIME it's like they're telling me that i need to keep rejecting their calls
one day i picked up the phone and the recording came on
why would they say someone decent would call back if they dont answer their own call?

Yes, it has to be a scam they've called me 2 or 3 times daily for months, i finally called them back and when i refused to give them my address without knowing why they are calling me they hung up on me. If i truly owed them money and im so hard to get ahold of you wouldnt hang up on me, SO ANNOYING!

They keep calling me too staing that I owe $115. I was dumb. I paid them $115. They keep calling me stating that I owe them an additional $65. I almost lost my job because they kept calling even though I asked them not to call me at work which I why i was forced to pay it. They told me do be an adult and call them back. Please do not be as dumb as I was. Please check into this before you pay them.

This company keeps calling, Leaves messages, I call back no human answers. I have recieved no bill collection letters, no emails, and no calls before this company calling me. My credit score is in the 800's. I want the calls to stop. Maybe it is for someone else one number off or something but.

Our Attorney Generals office told us that when they call blow a whistle in the phone lol. We have had calls by other scammers and done that and got no return calls. We will be doing it to this group if they call back trust me. We found out it is originating from the Montel Williams commercial offering money within 24 hours. If you call the numbr or go to the website they get your information and the calls start.
Get a whistle and blow it in their ear next time they call.
