Barbara from fresh start won't stop calling about help with taxes. She asks for Gregory sometimes. My name is not Gregory. Most of the time she does not ask for anyone in particular just leaves a voicemail to call back. This happens several times a day every single day. FTC needs to do something about it

This is the third call today from these turds left in my voice mail. The recorded voice has changed from the other messages I got from what they left before in the past like what I saw others have posted here "Barbara from fresh start". Now these messages doesn't identify who they are it just states to call back at 949-656-3575 at my earliest convenience. The numbers I blocked are usually from the 707 and 501 area codes and these assclowns keep changing the numbers. Even when I block numbers they're used they still can leave voice mail. No doubt they are scammers. Is anyone else curious how scammers like this are allowed to continue to operate using this scam?

Damn scammers from this fresh start call me every day leaving voice mails to call them back at 949-656-3575. This has been going on for months. Think they'd figure out by now. Why does the authorities allow them to get away with calling people 4 sometimes 5 times a day, every day? Must be a company owned by some politician or something.

I get multiple calls every day for the last couple of months from Fresh Start leaving me multiple voice mails every time they call. They don't miss a day. The recorded messages are all identical the recorded message claims to be Barbara from fresh start and that I need to call them back at 949-656-3575. The calls and voice mails occur through the day and evening. No doubt these are scammers because I can't see any actual business that would use these kinds of tactics as well as telling a lie stating I inquired. I never even heard of them. I can see as I check around about them that many are getting these harassing calls from them as I am. The question I have is why isn't anything being done to stop this?

Same as all the above, and it's very irritating. The sad part is, this is my government work phone that is being called repeatedly, nonstop, all day, every day. No matter how many I block, another number calls with the same person "Barbara from FreshStart" and all of the voicemails are left for a return call to the 949-656-3575 number.

I have been getting these robo calls from 'Barbara at Fresh Start' for months now as well with the call claiming to be 'following up with my recent inquiry'. An absolute scam, I never even heard of them before let alone ever calling them. Like the other posts I've read here I never answer or call back and have blocked this number but that hasn't done any good, I still am getting three or more messages left in my voice mail every day from this scammer. I find it hard to believe that in this day and age of technology these asshats can get away with making these calls and there doesn't seem to be anything that 'the authorities' can do to stop them from this harassment. For now I continue to delete and suggest never to call back or follow any links.

Same as all the above!!!

Ditto to all of the above. None of the "blocks" work. When working from home I leave my cell phone on without the do not disturb on and when I see these random calls come in I answer it but I say thank you for calling the and before I can spit out a random bogus business they hang up cuz they think it's a business the other thing I do is I use the the Google screen it screens the calls tells them to say who they are and then they hang up and then Google automatically adds it to the block list but I love messing with them LOL I had a burner phone and I blocked the caller ID and I kept calling them and messing with them harassing I'm back LOL

I have received many many many many calls from "Barbara from Fresh Start Info" and each caller ID is a different number, but all from the area code 707. The voice mail is exactly the same each time, and each lasts exactly 15 seconds. I have not returned the call to 949-656-3575, and I never will. I have blocked all of the numbers from the 707 area code with "Barbara's" message but the robo calls continue every day. Obviously a scam

I get several calls each week on my office line from someone asking me to return a call to 949-656-3575 and claiming that they're responding to a request for info that I supposedly initiated (I didn't). The message says it's from "Fresh Start Info about your tax debt."
