Default Loan Modification Service

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to research a company that has been calling people in my area. Yesterday someone from the company where I work got a call from a resident asking us to stop calling him. He complained that we were telemarketers (we do not employ any telemarketers) and that we have been harassing him and his wife for some time now. Since then we have had several more calls from people with the same issue. After some research our helpdesk was able to find out a little information.
  • The calls are coming from telemarketers offering either mortgage insurance, loan modification, or stating that the person is behind on their mortgage payment
  • The number that shows on caller ID does not show any area code. (which is why the calls are coming to us. The number is a direct dial number to someone in our company who has left. When the person calls the number back our message refers them to our main number because the extension is invalid. This makes people think that the calls are coming from us, obviously, this is bad)
  • The company is called Loan Modification Service and the number is 245-8976, again, no area code.

Has anyone ever heard of this company or have any idea whether or not this is a scam? Any suggestions on what we might be able to do to track the number?

Thank you for your help. I hope this isn't posted anywhere else.

Default 245-8976

I have been being harassed by this company for a month now. I called my wireless company and told them about it and asked them to block the number. Unfortunately, without the area code that is impossible. I just got done verbally abusing one of their reps in hopes that if I was rude enough on the phone that they would not want to call me any more. I explained to these guys that I do not want anything from them I do not know why they would want to continually waste there time on someone who is clearly not interested. If I find a was to stop these guys I will post what I have found here.

Default Harrassing phone calls

The standard checks on this number require an area code . I do not believe that a phone company cannot find out where it is , but that would require a proper search from them.

Although I cannot advocate using this method, a friend of mine uses a loud whistle and blows it into the mouthpiece when she gets these types of calls, apparently it seems to put the caller off after a few times .
