Nextel Complaint - Stop Calling I'm not a customer I never was - Not a Nextel Customer

Not a Nextel Customer - Complaint
Review by Stop Calling Nextel on 2007-07-09
NEW JERSEY -- For the past year I have been receiving phone calls form Nextel at all times of the day, apparently they want their money from someone but they have the wrong number. I am not and never had Nextel so why are they calling my phone and demanding money? I tried calling their service department but they couldn't do anything I would need to know the account number how the hell would I know the account number!!!!!!! I just know that Nextel has the wrong number and I want them to stop calling my house. I have been recording these messages for a while so I can get a lawyers input on the situation. They should try typing in my phone number they are calling and see what comes up so they can correct the problem instead of this going on for another year. I did try calling the number that was left on my caller ID and I got some car dealership and he was upset and said he was getting allot of this and wanted to know what he should do. Nextel you definitely suck you are harassing my household and this guys car dealership.

You have the wrong people we are not your customers and never will be your service in the help department stinks.

Simply send them a cease and decist letter and state that the alleged debt is not yours

Most likely they are using a collection agency.

They may be using a caller ID Spoofing device/service.

A company selling a spoof Caller ID service is due to launch tomorrow, according to a report by internet security firm Security Focus. Initially targeting debt collectors and private detectives, it offers a means of hiding the true identity of a telephone caller.

Debt collectors are required by Fed law to immediately id themselves as attempting to collect a debt; state what the debt is & who owns the original debt in addition to who they are! FTC website has details & how to lodge complaint if violated - online or hard copy is available. Once you notify them by mail as Sail27 says, they cannot call you again. They could still pursue it: send you reply regarding 'your debt' & even post negative on your Credit Report - so keep a watch on that end. (I had this done by collection agency - not me, my debt, etc. Once I filed complaint it all went away!)
