Today, 10/26/09, 7:22 PM, I received a call—caller ID stated “Unknown,” phone number was 716-213-4578. www.whitepages.com states it is a landline from Tonawanda, NY, but it could be anyone/anywhere, due to today’s technology. The person asked for “Jane Doe” (unknown first name, our last name). I said there was no one at this number. He asked if I knew how Jane Doe could be reached. I stated that there was no one with that name at this number, and the last person who called for that name was perpetuating a fraud, so I suggest he get money from someone else. He s****ed to laugh, but I cut him off by ****ing up. Below is data about the calls that I previously reported to the FTC and Florida, and Georgia. These are fraudulent calls, not bill collectors. Don’t give them any information—they will turn around use a***nst you, and say you owe someone, or you’re need to pay some money to keep out of jail, or so****ing.We don’t owe anything except our mortgage, and we never heard of Jane Doe.=================I received voicemail at home Wednesday, 3/11/2009. The caller ID stated the call was received at 3:27 pm from 770-783-1139, Unknown Name.“This is Investigator Jason Merato.My service has been retained by the attorney to notify Jane Doe that there is a civil complaint along with a criminal attachmen****’s being formalized through Fairfax County. It’s pursuant to docket BOD 1828.Now it has been mandated you do contact your chief investigator, 770-783-1139.Now if you fail to do so, litigation will commence immediately.Furthermore, your opportunity for a disposition hearing--where the attorneys actually meet to discuss your charges--to essentially get them removed--will be forfeitedAt that time you will have to appear at Fairfax County court systems under your charges.And it’s for Jane Doe under docket BOD 1828, slated for Fairfax County.”It sounded fishy, but I left a voicemail that evening, stating this message was not for me, that I’d lived here for 3 ½ years, and they had the wrong number. I said I worked for the military and provided by daytime number. On Thursday, I got a second call on my voicemail at work on my government voicemail, sounded like the same person in the first phone call, but the caller gave a different name. The message had background noises, as if the call originated in some sort of office. 770-783-1139, Thursday, 1118 am“Hi Miss Doe, this is James Conlin, director of operations over here. I received your voicemail—I just got in from court here--basically, the reason why my investigator had called you, is there is actually a summons going out to your address regarding Jane Doe.If you can please give me a call back. I just need to verify a few things with you.If you‘re not implicated on the file at all, I will definitely remove your number and your address.However, I do need you to contact me so I can discuss this with you Number is 770-783-1139.And the docket number is BOD1828.Thank you”I googled the phone number and there have been similar comments since November. The comments sound as if get information from their targets, and say they are collecting on a debt or need some kind of payment to settle things out of court. The phone call is supposed to be a Vila Rica Georgia landline. There is no Fairfax County in Georgia. And no one came out to my house.

They just called my house looking for someone and when challenged as to why they were calling the only answer was "An important business matter". They then stated that they would continue to call the number until they reached this person. I am thinking it may be a good idea to report them to the Federal Trade Commission for harassment.Business: First SourceCity TONAWANDA State New York Primary ZIP Code 14150 Carrier CHOICE ONE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
