A Matt Russo called me on my cell phone (which is NOT listed) looking for a family member and then refused to give me any details as to why he was calling... Then wanted to leave his number, but I refused to take it since he refused to get me details.... He said he was from First Source Advantage!!! Be very cautious when people call you out of the blue.

Called looking for my sister (who lives across the country and is married) with all of her info and said I was a contact....obviously I wasn't. I figured I would let things happen on there own so I never called back. One week later I received another call, a***n I blew it off since this is not my problem. Unfortunately one of my neighbors in my complex came by and stated they were looking for my sister and me and now I'm a little miffed. I guess it is now involving me since they are calling my neighbors. Any suggestions on how to handle this? I was going to call and chew someone out but from reading many reviews about this number is sounds like it is going to fall on deaf ears!
(716) 564-4905 - April 1st, 2010 4:00am
They keep calling and not leaving any msgs. I won't answer. These type of behaviors are only allowed from debt collectors. Why are they allowed to practice in this manner in the U.S.. Why Mr. President, are they being allowed to torture people who are already experiencing financial difficulties and now must put up with the DRIP...DRIP...DRIP of PREDITORS. Is there not a legal means by which this can be resolved? It's called unsecure debt for a reason. Make the Credit Card companies secure the debt or do not allow it, in the 1st place. Mr. President, when you try to effect c****es in the laws, help the people already in trouble instead of focusing on the future. Be MINDFUL TODAY!!!

1) Most callers from telephone number 716-564-4905 are criminals employed by under the table employer. Next time you receive a call, **** your whistle upon picking up the receiver of your telephone. This will give them some lessons. 2) Registrar a complaint with the telephone regulating organization. 3) Next time you see a call coming from that number, pick up the receiver and say " this phone does not receive phone calls from **********s, criminals, and those who hide their names" and then ****up immediately. They will get some lesson.4) Never answer calls from the above number.

calls leaves message that his name is todd and is employed by a collection agency. Provides a call back number of 800-714-8860 collecting for a person named Casandra Rhen and provides a ref. number. Don't know these people nor do I have any outstanding debts. This annoying person has been calling for the last several days leaving same message. Why doesn't someone do so****ing about these people. What good does it do to file with caller complaints if your not going to follow up on it?

First Source National called me looking for a woman who was married to my brother-in-law 15 years ago. Told them I only met her twice and did not actually know her. I was told my number was a point of contact from her. B.S. We only met twice. They questioned me about how to reach her and if I knew where she lived. Stated a***n that she could be anywhere in the world as I only met her twice.
(716) 564-4905 - September 14th, 2010 4:20pm
Rattled off their company name so fast that I couldn't understand, even after I asked her to repeat it twice. Asked for my ***her, who doesn't live here and asked me to confirm his date of birth when I said he didn't live here. Claimed they would remove me from the call list once they found he didn't live here but I don't believe it. Felt like a phishing expedition was going on.
(716) 564-4905 - May 19th, 2010 4:00am
These bill collectors are s***! Do NOT give them ANY info to make their job any easier! They are ***gry for commission and will stop at no m****es till they get it. My husband and I both lost our jobs and our Capital One account went to them. They then s****ed calling our relatives AND neighbors!! That is legal, but you dont have to help them!
(716) 564-4905 - March 17th, 2010 4:00am
This debt collector company keeps sear****g for a woman named Payne (? spelling) who owes money to banks- she hasn't had the number (which the phone company gave to me) in over 6 months...but they won't stop calling. If that woman calls her old number (me) I think she may have a case of violation of her privacy rights.
(716) 564-4905 - March 9th, 2010 5:00am

My caller ID popped up as North Tonawa NY with the number 716-564-4905. When I answered they asked for my sister-in-law who has never lived with us or used our number as hers as far as I'm aware of. Then before I even thought about it I said she was my sister-in-law but she didn't live with us to which his response was that he was trying to contact her regarding an employment opportunity she was interested in. Immediately I realized he was lying because she is on disability because she lost her vision due to complications with diabetes a few years ago and is not seeking or considering employment at this time. I know she and my brother-in-law are having some financial problems so I figured it was probably a collection call and decided to kind of mess with him a bit...just to see where the conversation would go from there. I offered to relay a message to her for him and he said he was calling from First Source and gave me his name and an 800 number along with a "case number" to pass along. I guess the idiot forgot the reason he originally claimed he was trying to reach her because he got all f****ered when I mentioned it seemed odd that an employer would reference a case number instead of a job ***le or how they came across her resume. He ended the conversation by accusing me of lying to him and said he believed I was the person he was trying to reach and saying "Well, this isn't a sales call." and ***g up on me. What kind of person takes a collections job? It must really ****!!

Don't know this number, 716-564-4905 or this caller from Amhearst, NY (on my caller ID). I called back to reach a Natalie with a company called First Source Advantage(??)in Buffalo, NY (??). I asked what type of company they were and she responded by pausing and saying..."let's see", like she had to look it up or didn't know because she said they represent many companies (??) and rather than answering, she asked me quetions!! I said to remove my number from their call list and was told emphatically they were not telemarketers and handled financial affairs for people. I have no unresolved financial affairs, therefore, they have no business calling me. She wanted my name and phone number to see who called me and for what reason. This sounds like a scam of some sort and definitely telemarketing, so BEWARE!! I have been on the Natl DO NOT CALL list since it's inception...yet it obviously doesn't always work!! I get so many of these unsolicited calls. They often ask for someone by another name even though my name is listed with my number. I will report them too!
(716) 564-4905 - December 5th, 2009 5:00am
Some **** from a collection company called me asking about my mom. When I asked him what his business was he got testy with me and I ***g up on him. He called back within seconds but I didn't pick up. I called my mom and she said this same guy called my sister and brother within minutes of calling me. I'm definitely having one of those moments where I'm wishing he would call back so I could use all the choice insults I have thought up in the past few minutes.

this same number 716-564-4905 called my home today looking for a family member and the strangest thing is they got a hold of a couple other family member's cell phones looking for someone and it was a fellow stating he was a private investigator when I referred him to a person he was looking for. We gave out no information but he was calling around. We called back the number and it is an office of some type in Upstate NY area but no name was given.

When I told him he had the wrong number and it was my neighbor he was calling he asked me to take a message and give it to my neighbor. I told him no. I do not talk to my neighbor and that I thought maybe he had left the county. Not true, he still lives there. LOL

These jokers left a message stating that they were going to contact a mortgage company that sold my loan and notify them of a lean they were going to put on my house, by order of the county I live in. I called them back and told them to stop calling third parties, they were doing that too. I checked my credit report and there was nothing on there for the amount they wanted from me. I told them I wanted a certified letter. They sent one asking for an amount that was not on my report! I ignored it, they stopped for a while, now they are bothering me a***n! I told them to F@#k off and to come to my door if they want their money, I have it stuffed in the barrel of my ****gun!

This number has called me a number of times looking for Sandra so****ing. I actually answered today & the guy said things like, "Are you sure this is not Sandra?" and "We've contacted her a number of times at this number." "How long have you had this number?" I was cold but polite & he said so****ing about trying to "figure out the problem." Unfortunately, I get a lot of "debt collector" calls looking for a bunch of people I don't know and have never heard of. This one is the most persistent though.

A man called on my landline asking for someone who had the unusual last name of one of my daughters-in-law who lives in another state. I reversed his phone number and found that he has an unlisted number in Amherst, NY. No one in my family knows anyone in that area. I am concerned because he seems to have made a connection somehow from my d-i-l's maiden name to our name. Many threats are out there during this political season which adds to the worry.
(716) 564-4905 - May 20th, 2008 4:00am
They were calling my house looking for someone who I have no idea who they were. They called me at 9 pm on a Sunday night. I actually called them back to explain that I had no idea who they were looking for. We shall see if these ***s keep calling. From what I've read on line they seem like a horrible company that doesn't care much for rules or ethics.

Caller ID says TONAWANDA, NY. They never leave a message so I called the number. When I asked if they were a collection agency, they said they wereen't allowed to give me that information. If I would give them my name, they would run it and tell me why they called. These are idiots, and extremely annoying.

I've received about ten calls on my cell phone from these people, about two a month for the past five months. A woman robot says to call this number back within a certain amount of time or I'm in deep trouble. My credit is top-notch and I always pay my bills, therefor I suspect a rip-off here.

It's a collection agency. They likely bought a debt or collection action from a creditor, legitimate or not. Ask for an address. Send them a registered letter instructing them to stop calling your home, work, cell, etc. Tell them to sue you in your home jurisdiction to collect... otherwise, go stuff it.

got a call at work, company is Pro Source Advantage. 800-741-8860 was the number to call back, left no other information, just a "case" number. Glad I checked the site to see what kinda company this is.
