debt collector call from great lakes student loans. Left a message to call great lakes or access my account via the great lakes web site.

Another number for performant recovery false claims to owe money mostly for someone not Living in your home

STUPID SPAM !!! TELL THEM TO F OFF . SO POINTLESS USELESS AND ANNOYING ! DONT PICK UP !

This number calls me about once every 3 days. When you call back there's no automated system saying what the company is. Definitely a SCAM!! DO NOT ANSWER OR GIVE INFO.

Got a call from this number, who said they were from Chase and were calling about my credit card interest rate being lowered because of our good payment history. I do have several cards through them, and we do have a very good payment history, so I wasn't immediately suspicious. The caller had an Indian accent (again, common for Chase) and it sounded like a very busy call center in the background. They were able to give me information about myself/accounts, so I didn't have trouble confirming the last 4 digits of my credit card and billing zip code. But...when they started talking about how they could lower interest rates on other cards, that didn't even have to be Chase credit cards, I immediately questioned him on how they would be doing that if they were really Chase. They evaded that question and got very pushy, insisting they could only give me a lower interest rate if I had at least $3000 in credit card balances and that I could use any other credit card - store accounts, other credit card companies, whatever, so long as it was credit and I gave them the information right then. At this point, I was kicking myself, because I KNOW BETTER DANGIT! (and being distracted with work stuff and whatever else I was thinking about isn't an excuse!) and hung up on them. I immediately called Chase, who confirmed that it wasn't them who had called; they don't make that sort of call. Within 5-10 minutes, the potentially compromised cards were deactivated, and new ones were being issued. They advised me to report it to the credit agencies (which I have done) and reviewed the previous charges on each account to guarantee they were made by us. I've also filed a police report (which I don't expect to go anywhere, but at least it's on record) for the attempted fraud. Chase handled their end of things AWESOMELY and even overnighted us the new credit cards with new numbers.

Call related to lowering my credit card interest rate. How do I get my number deleted from their calling list?

I don't answer any calls to my cell phone that I don't recognize. This number called me so I let it go to VM. No message. I see from another poster below it's one of those annoying "Lower your credit card interest" calls.

missed call from this number too. don't leave a message. I called back 3 times no answer so I decided to look this number up. I think its some type of scam call. When this number calls me back I will not answer. I might get my number changed if this number continues to call me.

Big B Pizza And Food in Lathrop, CA Phone: (209)858-5400 Evidently the robo-phone has hi-jacked this business's phone number and is spamming us. I didn't answer and never do answer incoming numbers unknown to me. I do however look them up to see if its bs or legit.

Called, didn't leave message, phone says from Manteca, CA and i'm in TX.

Got a phone call, but didn't leave a voicemail

They wanted to lower my "credit card" interest.

Missed call from this number in Virginia. No voicemail left.

I got a (missed) call from this number in NYC. No voicemail, and they haven't called back. Weird.

Got a call on my cell from this number. Weird since I live in Nashville TN.

Call once a day. Leave no message.

Fraud. They are trying to gather information about you. Asking if you have a husband or a wife, that is around. Just say I'm giving this number to the cops.

Calls all day long with no message. Very annoying.

Rude! Call is NOT for me and my number is on the do not call list.

Called several times looking for my husband. I have told them they have the wrong number to reach him. I also told him I passed along their message, but they will not give me any more information.

keeps calling my husbands phone will not stop!

debt collector

calls all day annoying

scanners for sure.

Leaves no voicemail, calls various times all day

Keep calling my 12 year olds phone. Will not stop.

I got 2 calls from Performant Recovery (also known as Diversified Collection Services) today. I do not owe any taxes to any state or federal anything or for any student loan. I am in no mood for BS! If they are looking for someone they think I know...too bad...I know nothing. You know with all these privacy crap things you have to sign at your doctor, pharmacy (just about any company you do business with) they need to adhere to the privacy of the individual they are attempting to humiliate by calling family, friends, or employers and disclosing financial difficulty of that individual. There is a lot of people that are really having a hard time financially without a**es like this harassing and humiliating them multiple times a day~every day!

PRI. Collection company for defaulted student loans. NOT a scam

just not gonna answer till the wheels fall off

they are def trying to collect my student loan debt I'm sure

This number just keeps calling me

thanks for the feedback

Keeps calling me most likely a scammer to get information out of you don't answer them.

Performantce Technologies. I am guessing a debt collection agency...they won't give any information about themselves until they verify who you are. Pretty ironic.

claimed to not be a collector or a seller.

Some research on the web shows that they are debt collectors and mostly try to collect student loan debt.

this is PRI collection co for defaulted student loans

They said they were Performance Technologies Inc. They called me asking for me to verify MY information. I just hung up...

Seems like an automated bill collector

I called this number back and they stated it was some company called Performance Technology. I didn't get any more details than that and hung up the phone. I've never heard of this company before.

They do not leave messages so I don't bother to pick up the phone.

Dont even bother answering the phone!

AMEN!!! They keep calling but no voice mail left

SOME FREAK CALLED ME AS WELL FROM THIS #, AT MY PLACE OF BUSINESS.  WHEN I TOLD HER I WAS THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY AND THERE IS NO SUPERVISOR ABOVE ME, SHE HUNG UP ON ME......

Get calls all the time from this number they never leave a message and i have never answered and after wut I read I am glad

Leave a message or stop calling

Called about 6:40 PM EDT. Left no voice mail. I have 2 rules, this is MY cell phone. Calls cost ME money.1) If caller ID doesn't show a name that I already have programmed in my address book. Not answering.2) If they don't leave a voice mail then I definitely don't care. Prolly a computer. Other computers can leave a message to an answering machine.Yes, it's prolly a bill collector. They have my MAILING address. Contact me that way and I'll reply. Go and spend the 'bulk mail' route. I have a ton of forever stamps still so why can't they send USPS? Not like I care one way or the other. Unknown phone numbers that Google can't even ID, I say BAH!!!ChuckThe 209 area code is in CA.Me

If you get calls from these people report them to your Attorney Generals' Office. If they are legit so be it...if not they need the law to investigate.

Also uses numbers:209-858-3970401-562-1451

A. your an idiot B. if you think you can run from a tax debt your just stupid because its tied to your social.

Debt collection agency that purchases old debts, with numerous complaints about illegal debt collection activities.

Cody from this number was very rude would not give me any information about who he was or what he wanted. I called back and Cody refused to put a supervisor on the phone

I have 10 calls from this company during all hours - no one ever leaves a message...but hangs up and calls repeatedly.

I got a cl form them stating I owe money and when I asked them what for, they hang up.   Sounds scammy to me

Who is this from?

This b@#$@# keeps calling me that I owe money in an account that I know that I had close and I know that were charging me for calls from all over the world. I tried to reason with her, and wanted to negociate with her but no luck she started screaming. So I said f^&*( my credit has improved I'm not paying for something that I did not do. It's about principal! They can keep calling I'll never try to negociate with people. I own a house and my credit is not perfect but is fine.

Diversified Collection Services Lathrop, CA 95330

I got a call from DCS Inc looking for a Phyllis or Tyler. I asked the lady her name and she said she could not tell me that info that she need to locate and or speak with Phyllis or Tyler right away.I explained, I do not know a Phyllis or Tyler, she then ask me my name and I said well if you called me then you should know my name it's listed with my phone number, she thanked me and hing up abruptly before I could interigate(?) her more and then give her a good tongue lashing.The numer that came up on my caller ID was 209-858-.3500.

This guy continue to call my house for my x-wife, asking personal question and calling continually, stating he's working on some project for her.

So this agency will call your job looking for someone !!  I have told Kylie or whoever calls ( AS IF I DONT HAVE CALLER ID-IDIOTS!!) my direct line to !!STOP!! calling looking for this person.  In addition she will get rude as if I don't know who she is, asking to be connected to our HR department. (DUMMY-collector is stoopid enough to believe that HR wil give out that info.)  Due to the laws FDCA (Fair Dept Collection Act) states that if you answer the phone and tell them to "stop calling" they have to adhear to that. 209-858-3500.

Vickie Sims used my former sister in laws name to get my brothers phone number from husband. Thinking it was my former sister in law, my husband had me look up the number, and while I was doing that, he filled her in on family vacations, etc. If that was not bad enough, she actually let him transfer her to me and then talked about MY kids and MY vacations as if we were best of friends. When I realized it was not who we thought it was, she laughed and laughed, while I freaked out!!! Talk about the "B" from hell.

Some lady claimed to be Nicky asking regarding someone I've not seen for a while. I told her to buzz off!

I also had a call from this number said she was trying to reach an old neighbor.  Drilled me for information.  She never said who she was, just said she was trying to reach him but the number he had wasn't good anymore.  I didn't even know my previous neighbor!Caller ID registered: DCS inc.

Continuously calls and leaves no message

Female caller attempted to give the impression the call was of a personal nature and involved an established personal relationship between her and my neighbor about whom she attempted to secure information. I informed her that the call coming from a business which she failed to identify violated the do-not-call act and would be reported. She responded she wasn't scared and had only called after obtaining my listed number from a 'directory" in order to re-establish contact with my neighbor who she referred to only by her first name as if she were a friend. Deceptive calling probably in violation of the do-not-call act since I have no business relationship with DCS, Inc. whose name displayed on my caller-id. I've reported the call to my neighbor and local authorities as I suspect identity theft or an attempt to identify homes where the occupants were away for purposes of burglary may be the motives.

Lady called stated a neighbor phone was disconnected, asked if i would deliver a message.

Get numerous calls from this number on my cell phone. I don't answer and they never leave a message.

I received a call on my cellphone yesterday from this number.  The woman asked for my husband who was unavailable.  I asked who was calling so I could take a message for him.  She gave me her name, Marilyn.  I asked who she was with.  She made brief pause and then informed me she wasn't WITH anyone; she was alone.  I asked if she could tell me what this was the nature of her call.  She paused again and then told me it was personal.  At this point, I was a little irritated with her vagueness.  I told her if was so personal to call him on his PERSONAL cellphone and not mine and hung up.

This Daveon Shortridge called my mother's house looking for me. How he knew my name and that this was my mother's telephone, I don't know why he singled me out.  I'm not sure what he thinks he will get out of me, but he left the 800 number listed here.  Joke is on him, I'm halfway around the world! I can't and won't call him back because A: I'm 11 time zones away, B: I'm reporting hime right here with the rest of you.

Has called me multiple times left a message saying to call her back on this number about a time sensitive matter. Even began calling my friends pretending she was an old friend saying her name was "cynthia Zambrano" and that i once posted my number on her "wall post" and she wanted to get in touch with me. Never heard of person with that name and i live all the way on the other side of the country.

Collector - making illegal calls as I have declared bankruptcy.  Beware!

It was a collction agency.

I just got a call from Chantel Hernandez. She scared me that if my husband does not call her right away, he will be in big trouble". I am going to call her and ask if she wants to talk with my lawyer.

Well I didn't know and I paid them now I am out 151.00 over the past 9 months,  I agreed beacuse I could not afford to have my pay checks garnished. after my payment they continued to take money from me. I called to check and wouldn't you know it the number provied to me was asking for my accout info...  I thought about it for a few sec call the nuber back a buck of time cause I thought I was dialing wrong But I was not. A VERY GOOD LESSON!!!! Thank YOU!!!  DCS Diversified Collection Services, INC.  A Performant company.  P.O.Box 9054, Pleasanton, CA 94566-9054.  209 858 0600My "social workers" name was Heidi Hlomes  Ext 7882.  It sucks even more to think about how many REAL bills I could have paid with the money I GAVE THEM...

They seem to be a collection agency. They called me to verify information about my ex husband and I know he doesn't pay his bills

Calls everyday night and day.

If they were smart they would realize that it is illegal to contact a federal agency in reference to collecting a debt on someone.  My wife received a phone call today because this company was attempting to locate an individual that they saw my wife was friends with on facebook.  My wife hasn't even seen this person for about 14 years so it was quite a shock.  There is a line and this supposed agency crossed it.

What I was trying to get at is my wife works for a federal agency and received this call while at work for an individual she hadn't seen in 14 years!

THEY DONT SAY WHAT THE HELL IS DCS..THEY WANT YOUR SS# YEAH RIGHT.....

THEY DONT SAY WHAT THE HELL IS DCS..THEY WANT YOUR SS# YEAH RIGHT.....

I have not nor ever had outstanding bills that require a collection agency.  My bills have always been paid in full all my life) so this is a fake company calling.  No one said anything to me when they called today, they hung up.  THIS IS NOTHING BUT A FALSE SCAM FOR A FACT.

rep called my work

These scumbags called me and left no message AND called my neighbors looking for me. They are scum, the creditors they are collecting for are scum and can KMA.

They have every right to call you, they just cannot give out any information to you about what they are calling about, help them out. . . its about time ppl start paying their bills anyways

i got a call from 1-209-858-3500. did not answer. i called back and the lady told me the initials of the "company" but refused to tell me what the bussiness WAS, you know, like the function or purpose. i told her i had received a call and if she would check her records...and she tells me sure, just give me your social security # so i can check if you have an account with us. yeah, as if!!!!

If they are so legit then why dont they send me something in writing?

Left message asking for a person who is not at this number. Get it right!

Called me in Louisiana 12 noon, did not leave a message. Some crazy S.O.B./

DCS, Inc. started calling everyday a few days ago but doesnt leave a message. Who are they and what do they want?

i've received a call from this  209-858-3500 me too. Caller ID DCS.. in a brief description , what is it exactly ?

you guys are all lame!! lol who really goes on the internet to report phone calls lmao get a life! and if you dont like the calls then dont answer or change your # duh! ! p.s there isnt a law protecting neighbors of debtors lol  its not against the law so find somwhere to report it you'll be  searchin for a while.

They called me and claimed to be an Attorney with the legal Dept. I could hardly understand him and when I pressed him for his bar number he started cussing at me and every other word out of his mouth was f*** this and f*** that. He told me I was mad (crazy) and then gave me someone else's personal information to include, SSN, Name. Bank Info, DOB, and email address - at that point I couldn't contain myself and started laughing at him. He got more angered and threated to show up at my house and hurt my family. I am a law enforcement officer and was smart enough to record the entire exchange. I called back the next day and said  nothing, just played the recording! I haven't heard from them since. I turned all of the information over to the Secret Service being that they have a special unit for this kind of thing, as well as the US Attorneys office whom also has a special unit for this type of crime against individuals. From my understanding the incinuation that this terrorist was an Attorney and representing Virginia is a federal crime, furthermore the threat against my families safety in an attempt to obtain money is extortion. Both can have these people locked up for some time. If you get any of these calls RECORD them and turn them over to a local secret service office - they will route to the proper place. Also be sure to turn over to yours states Attorney's office. As the case grows these terrorists will spend a long time in jail. More importantly if they happen to be out of the county and are having these calls routed through a US area code, as some do, they are going to have additional charges filled! NEVER give them your information, if they already have it they are fishing for the one missing piece to be able to cheat you out of everything, they will even go as far as asking you fax them something authorizing them to remove money from your bank. NEVER verify the information that they do have, tell them that they are wrong and as I said before RECORD it all!!! Furthemore, I live in VA and if anyone attempts to call you they will call you from an 804 or 540 number being that those are the only places that VA debt collection offices are. They DO NOT hire out for the purpose of debt collection. Also if ANYONE tells you that they are calling from the STATE of Virginia you can be certain that they are a fake - Virginia is not a State it is a Commonwealth and all employees of the Commonwealth refer to Virginia as just that - The Commonwealth of Virginia. Also the DCS link that was provided by AM is that for a company which has no dealings with the Commonwealth of VA

I just received a call from Crystal Saavedra, looking for my neighbor.  Said she found that we were her neighbor and asked if I could get this message to her.  She gave her return number as 209-858-3712.  My caller Id shows the caller from DSC Inc at 209-858-3500.  What kind of scam is this?  What is this about?  Should I be concerned?

called but didn't leave message. who are they?

http://www.performantcorp.com/dcs/index.htmSeems very legit- that they collect for the Dept of Education.  They may just be more aggressive in their methods (i.e. calling friends/ family and posing as people) instead of just waiting for people who owe a bunch of money to contact them..  Called about my ex who is a loser and just ignores collection companies...so what else are they gonna do?

wrong no.

what type of company is calling my number and who are they.

Lady from this # called and asked about my neighbor!  I told them I didn't know a thing and then told her good night! Good grief!

Continuously calls and leaves no message.

had a name and said they were calling for a mortgage debt.called the # back and line went to music then cut off.

The guy on the other line said his name is Tony.  Tony asked for my wife by her first name and said this call was to check a reference for Amy, an old friend of ours.  He then proceeded to ask if Amy had seen her mom lately and how was their relationship, same for her ex-husband.  He was drilling for information on Amy and her family.  Before I found out what the number was I suspected the FBI was investigating Amy.

This is Diversified Collection Services, they are a government contracted collection agency representing several government entities.  (dept education, dept treasury, state tax agencies, etc)They are legal and are governed by federal regulations for collections, not state.  They will continue these calls until you take care of the debt that is owed to the government.  The individual that owes the gov't debt will eventually lose any/all federal tax refunds until the debt is paid and they cannot get this money back even if they set up a payment arrangement with DCS, because DCS has no control over the seizure of the tax refunds.  Majority of the time bankruptcy does not stop the collection either because of the federal nature of the debt.  I worked for them for 3 years, that's how I can give you this info.

They have called me various times also saying that I owe taxes in the state of Virginia.  I have never lived in Virginia.  They somehow got my name sometime last year as well, but didn't have my phone number.  They called my grandparents and the woman posed as a friend.  She told my grandmother that she knew me from high school and asked for my phone number.  Very obviously a scam and the person commenting above is clearly in on the scam.

I had an OSHA violation on a project. The economy tanked. So did my business. These nice folks are trying to collect the payment for the OSHA violation.

This is not a complaint, just an update for you now that I know who it is..The company's name is Diversified Collection Services, INC (DCS) and it is contracted by the U.S. Government for debt recovery for the U.S. Treasury.. I'm sure they're contracted by others as well, but if you owe the government, this is why you are getting these calls.. At least why I am getting them, so I know first hand.

It is DCS I got a call from them about "business" they have with my brother. Laura Lewis-Stupid!Said Manteca CA

DCS, INC.  They call asking for another family member.  They don't say what for, who they are, and hung up on me when I told them to take my number off their list.

Lisa has called looking for a person that is not with our company... We have told her 2-3 times that she is no longer with the company.

What's up with these guys? I owe NO-ONE! They call but only leave a caller I.D. that's the only evidence of their call maybe they are scoping out houses to rob. (Guy sits in nbrhd & waits for phone & goes to check the place out when he gets no answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a collection agency by the name of " Diversified Collection Services"or DCS.

they calls 3 to 4 times a day and they also called my neighbors. can anything be done about this company calling so often and calling my neighbors?

received 3 calls... various times on various days. does not leave message

DSC called and when my husband told the woman I wasn't home asked for an account number or my social security number. When he wouldn't give the information out they asked if he knew somebody who lived a couple of blocks down the road. When he said he didn't know this person they hung up

bill collection agency

leaves no message receives call about once a month

Hang upCalls on cell phone

Did not answer, did not leave a message.

I got a call from a Lisa Verduzco on my unlisted home phone number, that is on all the "Do not call" lists. Strange part was, she was calling my unlisted home phone asking for my neighbor - a guy who lives across the street. VERY strange.

DCS probably stands for "Debt Collection Service"

Recieved call at 8:20pm asking for a Terry, id'd themselfs as Davion Shortridge at 209 858 3730. Advised at the time he was calling wrong number and man hungup. Called back 209 858 3730 and person on other end hung up several times, (4). Finally operator answered phone asked to be contected to supervisor and each time was directed to voicemail. We are not whom they are looking for and recieve several collection calls a day for Terry, we want our phone number removed from their data base which seems impossible since no one answers or takes responsibility.

Just wanted to post a comment after reading the previous ones...I came to this page after searching for "Skipper DCS" and found all your comments.  My call came from a different # (541-955-7800), which is from Grants Pass, OR, but is registered to Skipper DCS in Tampa, FL.  They wanted to speak to my ex-husband, who does not live here, and when I said he was not here, they hung up.  I am guessing this company must be some kind of info-gathering type, but sounds like even though they have many locations, must be a legitimate business of come kind, but one I'm highly suspect about.

This is a company called DSC our of California.  They call negihbors to find someone who may owe a debt.I thought there was a law protecting people and collectors COULD NOT call negihbors of the person they are looking for.How do you report someone like this who is outside the law???

strange high pitched voice who left a 16 sec recording on my voicemail.  I couldn't make out the words.

Its a collection agency calle DCS - Diversified Collections calling to collect owed , i was told i owed back taxes she was rude and her name was Elisabeth or alissa Nelson

Crystal Saavedra called my residence and proceeded to interrogate my 9yr old son in attempts to receive personal information about me.  She also asked him his name, age, grade and what school he attended.  Shortly thereafter she called my place of employment and interrogated my supervisor as well!

Who is this number for? they keep calling me at work but never leave a message

A woman named Peggy Stanley from DCS called and asked questions about someone that was not in our household and whether the person was related to us.  The woman would not give name or telephone number.  I told her that I would trace the call and did so.  Called this number (209)858-3*** and the woman told me to grow up and she ***g up.  I called a***n and got vmail that she was dumb enough to connect me to.  The Vmail gave the name Peggy Stanley with no company name which means she works as a contract employee or outside ma and pa collection agency that is ***ting down some shmuck that didn't pay his bills.  Will be turning this complaint over to several other state, federal and local agencies so that they can take appropriate action as they see fit.  I requested the woman take me off their mailing list and she laughed at me.  What a whacko !!!!  Who else would they get to make outgoing calls to person residences in this manner ?  Someone with absolutely no ***ins and no concern or respect for other people's privacy.  Probably some "*****" like the one on "Breaking Bad" in this past week's episode...scary stuff !!! *****s in the call rooms calling Americans and tracking down druggies and loosers !!!!  That's just great !

call after no one answers

We got a call, similar to above from 209-858-3712 asking we could get our neighbors phone number. The person gave us the name Crystal Saavedra in California and to call her back at 1-800-866-5317 ext. 3712. She stressed urgency and that it was about a personal matter. the caller ID shows DCS as the name to 209-858-3712.Indeed, beware.

209 858 3712 keeps ringing my cell phone looking for my Dad.  When I had him call back she immediatley asks for his social security number.  When he refused to give it she got rude and he hung up.  I think this is some kind of scam company trying to steal money or personal information.  She would not say what company she was with and only that it was a "personal matter".Beware....

The same lady, Rosalyn, just called my apartment phone. Oddly I have no idea who this person is, but she knew my first and last name. She went on about how she was trying to contact a guy named Philip, who lives in the same building as me, and I told her I did not know the person nor how to reach him. So I gave her the number to the complex office. What's up with this??

I received several calls from this number. Who?

Called askiing if Janice was okay, had been trying to get in touch with her, phone was disconnected. I had no idea who she was talking about, but I had a feeling she was phishing for something. She then asked if we had been having phone problems in our neighborhood. I repeated that I had no idea who she was talking about (I really don't!) but I wanted to know how she had found my number:she looked me up in the directory, because mine was the next consecutive number of house on our street. I called her back sfter, got a voice mail, to tell her I had checked on what she was doing, and not to call again, as we are on the DO NOT CALL list. Very sneaky!

Hi all. I did a reverse look up for this number using US Search. Since this number was calling my neighbors looking for me, I figured the $15.00 to find out who it is was worth it. For anyone interested, this number is registered to Incorp Skipper DSC located in Tampa, FL. This is interesting since doing minimal internet research indicates that the # (209-858-3626) is a land line located in Manteca, CA. The address of Incorp Skipper DCS is 929 Henderson Ave., Tampa, FL 33605. I've yet to locate more information about this business online, but am still trying. I checked Google street view to see if an image was available of the address, but its not. I found an aerial view of the street address. Looks like a bunch of apartments. All available, listed phone numbers and addresses for this street address are home phone #s and addresses. I suppose US Search could have the wrong information, but it certainly doesn't look like there would have been a legit. business at this address at any time in the recent past.

Someone by the name of "Stacey' called from DSC, Inc. asking about a neighbor that I don't know and wanting me to go ask them their telephone number...

The lady called my neighbor looking for me!

Daveon Shortridge has called my telephone no. looking for a neighbor wanting to know if she is alright.  I took an 800-866-5317 for a return call..This person should be stopped...Caller ID listed the 209-858-3730..

They called me.

Caller is a man, Flint(i believe he sounded to close to phone and gargled) looking for Marcus! And gave a return number 888-310-2006. I don't know a marcus!

Person named Dave Shortridge called and left a message for me to call them.  Someone in debt must have had our phone number because seems like a collection agency.

calls my work phone n hangs up

calls my cell phone and tells me to hold on to the next available operator n then hangs up.

Please stop this company. They are scam artists.

Call from 209-858-3569 Caller ID read DCS, INC.  The girl asked me if I was realted to Dawn S.  I told her she was my cousin's daughter.  She said she had 'personal information' for her and wanted her phone number and/or address where she lived or worked.  I kept asking this girl what the information referenced and she kept saying it was 'personal information'.  Then she asked to leave her name and phone number with me and I told her I hadn't see Dawn in at least 10 years and didn't know where she was.  She hung up.  Polite enough, but fishy call.  I looked up the phone number, then looked up DCS on line.  They are a California collection agency looking for students in default on loans.  I know Dawn lived out in California, but that was 21 years ago and she was a high school student who couldn't possibly have had loans.   I think this is a scam.

I also called them and they gave me the same BS about working with me! They wanted me to gave them my checking account number so they could automatically with draw the money. As many of us have been told in the pass, don't give out your account number or your SS#!

Who the hell is calling here at 721 PM on 09/15/2008 stating that are Lisa Carter? They don't say what it's about, just to call them. at 18009277667. Caller ID shows DCS INC 209-858-3656.

Calls my house, hangs up when answering machine comes on.

Someone by the name of "Stacey' called from DSC, Inc. They call everywhere including numbers on the Do not call list. They even called cousins of mine that I have not seen in 10 years asking for my address, and phone number. They call on weekends. Apparently I have heard they are a collection agency which may be working for various states agencies. They are being a pain the **s. I refuse to call them. I know that I owe nothing to no one and if I did, would they not have my direct contact number? Of course they would. Some collection companies buy outdated lists from other collection agencies and the will try to milk the dead cow for money one more time since they bought the list.Sometimes they even claim you owe money on a claim you've already paid years ago. So be careful.

Called and asked me to give my neighbor a message, that she would never return the phone calls.m Its sorta weird that she would have my name and number. What is this all about?

This company is from Lathrop, CA. Caller ID shows DCS INC but after further research it is a company branch off of A Performant Company. They are collection callers.

I received a collection notice from DCS for a delinquent student loan. They already had all of my information and acted as if they wanted to work out a payment plan with me. While on the phone with them I googled them and came up with numerous complaints against them as scam artists. This company was supposed to be in california but the supposed Supervisor I talked to was in Oregon and the person who is reported to be in charge of my collection account is in Texas. I do not get this. I tried to find their licensing in NYC but could not find one even though on their mailed document they say they are licensed in NYC. I received a fax number but when i tried it, the number was to buy cell phones. I am going to call 7-On-Your-Side or Barbara Nevins-Taylor from Channel 9 News (I worked with her previously about a house I bought) and I am going to PUBLICALLY expose them on national television. They told me that they could garnish my wages and take my retirement 401K since my defaulted student loans are "part of our National Deficit", (the Supervisors words. Watch and listne people...it is about to get ugly.

calls my home number.

I got a call saying the were looking for a relative of mine.  It is a Collections Agency making the calls.

This lady called my house and left a message stating her name Rosalyn. I called the number back and she wanted my neighbors number claiming he works at the local school.  I kindly told her...if he works at the local/public school doesnt it make sense to call the freakin school and not my house...

Someone at my job who has a name similar to mine says someone who identified herself as stacy (stacey?) tela called and started giving out all this personal information about me until she was told she had the wrong person.  When she was criticized for violating my privacy rights, she said she'd been doing collection work in Virginia for years.  I googled the number and found this website and also found out that 209 is a California area code.  I have no idea what this is about.  The number was 209-858-3618.

I recieved a message when I got to work and they saidthis women called for you Kristen Baca I googled the number becuase I have never seen it before and low and behold I found false info on it. scam scam scam.
