Takhar Group (scam?)

Hi Matt,

If you are sure that they are calling you illegally, then I would advise you not to answer their calls. They will disturb you for a few more days after which, probably, the calls will cease.

Along with your states' AG, you should also file complaints about them with the Florida Office of Financial Regulation.

Seems that there's an epidemic of scammers out there lately, doesn't it? I agree with paulcahill, file those reports and if they DO call again, tell them you know they're bogus, you've filed complaints, and then hang up.

those jerks just called me again for like the 10000th time, the number came up as withheld.

They called my house looking for my step brother who I haven't lived with since I was a child.

I would have my phone number changed if I were you guys.

It is remarkable to me that after years of having an account closed, The Takhar Terrorist Support Group asails our country with fraudulent debt collections. We as Americans need to put a stop to these types of people and their intense averace for collecting monies for bills that do not exist with out providing an itemized list or dates of expenditures or products for which payment is being demanded. It would be much like sending everyone here a bill for anything and demanding payment for it with out verification of what when and where something was purchased.

I got a call from them yesterday (12/10/10) after I sent them a registered letter in October to stop calling me. I've filed a complaint with the FTC so we'll see what happens.

Let us know what the outcome is.

Ive been having problems of calls for about a year now for someone ive never heard of...rude people ..pumping me for info...telling me they,ll quit calling then a couple months later starts all over again....complaints dont seem to help..look at the net..people have been reporting them to every agency around for a few years now and there still doing it...

I got a voicemail from them last night, referencing a website and a phone number to call. I'm going to bite for the hell of it. My bankruptcy was discharged 6 months ago, and I don't think I missed any debts.

I hear you all, and want to say I am one of the folks having problems with this group too. They are billing me for a book I have never received, saying that they have proof that it was delivered to me. As I'd belonged to a book service a while back, I thought maybe it was a book I'd received, but didn't remember for some reason. NOT SO. For one thing, I'd never buy a $60+ cookbook, and for another, the only cookbooks I've received are ones I paid for when I ordered them, or were part of a free offer. So, I've also complained to my WA State AG. AND I've blocked receipt of their calls on my cell--tho I don't know how they got that number.....anyway, thanks for being out there, and providing info on such as this. pm

You can report this company to the FTC at

I've been getting calls from these fools for a few months now. Not too frequently, once a week, then nothing for a few weeks, then once or twice a week, then nothing for a few weeks. I'm at the point where I'm going to start filing complaints. It's so silly. If it's a legit debt, mail me the bill, I'll verify it, and if it's real, I have no problem whatsoever paying it. If you instead call me with some douche saying, "We require a return call", yeah, that's never going to happen.

Another complaint filed with the FTC

Thank you so much for this website! My husband is military and we are being bothered by the Takhar Group saying he owes 83.53 to a DVD club. Sent to an address where I was living but sent in the wrong year and he was in Korea. He said he didn't and now they wont send any proof. We have never got a bill. So I will be fighting this. Thanks!!
