This number calls everyday for the last 2 weeks. They do not leave a message and if I do answer, there is air in the phone and I hear a foreigners voice. I wish they would stop calling me and call someone else!!! I looked the number up on another website and the number is registered to a ASTRA Collection Agency from India! Hmm. Never been there and do not have any credit cards.

I got a call from this number every morning for 3+ weeks, but they never left a message, and I don't answer numbers I don't recognize. They finally DID leave a message for one Ms. Cheryl Carr. I called back and asked for Mr. Harry Smith (that's the name he left) at Astro Business so****ing or other, and they're trying to collect a debt. I told the guy I wasn't Cheryl, and that I'd been inundated with calls for Cheryl since I got the number back in August of '09 and he said that no one from his office would call anymore. Let's see if that's true.
(888) 799-7986
