I received a message stating that a local merchant was filing fraud charges and that i needed to call Jason immediately. he said he looked at my history and I hev not had fraud charges in my past that is why he is reaching out to me

I received a call from these people trying to collect for a credit card account.  Are these people for real?  They also wanted my debit card number to make 5 monthly payments.

Got same call as others. Claiming a local merchant is filing fraud charges against me and that my background check came back spotless but I need to call to resolve the issue. Hmm. If a local merchant was defrauded, wouldn't local law enforcement do the investigating instead of some dude 2000 miles away in another state??? Scam, scam, scam.

Jason and the local merchant fraud 216-200-5852. SCAM!!!!!!

Received many calls from this number never leave a message. However received a letter from a place called Consumer Recovery Group Telling me I have 10 days to resolve a debt. but did not disclose info about the debt.  Is this for real?  I know scams by phone. But threatening to take someone to court etc by mail for a debt you have no information about?? REALLY

I have received calls from these people saying that I owe nearly 700 to MyCashNow, which I took out before I got married and legally changed my last name. I just hit my 6th wedding anniversary. Even if I did owe it, statute of limitations for debt collection is 6 years in Ohio, so they would be SOL either way. It's against the law for a debt collection company to threaten to sue you. They didn't even get the full name of the FDCPA right. Also, they say I have 10 days, when by their own admission, the FDCPA says I have 30 days to dispute the debt. Also, the letter claims that Consumer Recovery Group is in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is 1.5 hours from me, which is clever of them. However, the area code 216 that they gave is a Cleveland, Ohio area code, which is 4 hours from me.

I'm not buying this, and they are going against the FDCPA, by A) not giving me 30 days, and B) telling me not to collect the original creditor. Probably because I would have it confirmed with MyCashNow that I paid it off over 6 years ago.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

— filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.

I recieved a letter also. Saying I owe $1012.50. The "respectfully demanded" that I do not contact the former creditor. Red flag # 1. Also there is no name after the letter. It says Very truly yours, Consumer Recover Group. What kind of Debt collector says very truly yours? Also 10 days to pay or they will commence legal action against me... Haha see you in court a**holes!!!
It's not legit.

I keep getting BS calls from all sorts of numbers, they all claim the same things you are stating about a payday loan and i have ignored them all up til now when I got a letter...thank god I googled the phone numbers on this letter, they all come up with scam BS.  The letter is exactly the same as you are saying, no signature just the truly yours and the name of the "group" and it is also in my maiden name.  The company doesn't even exist if you try to google it.  Not going to take this seriously....how do you report this??  who do you contact??  how do you find out for real if it's a legit company and that when you get these things??  This is the first time I've gotten a letter in the mail, they are trying to really step up their game.

I got the same letter I called told them I filled bk 2 yrs ago this debt had been discharged . the lady became rude and said I couldint put a pay day loan in s bk this was a pdl I took out over two yrs ago I just told her good bye while she ranted on about fraud . I've been receiving these kind of calls from all kinds of these 3rd party scammers ever since I filed bk . they just trying to collect on a debt  they bought into did they also offer you a settle ment . I called my lawyer because I'm getting so sick of receiving these kind of threats and harassment. They bank on you not sueing them but I want blood. I'd like to them go to jail it is very illegal what there doing .

I received a letter from these people with this phone number . this was about a pat day loan that has since been discharged in a bank ruptcy . Told the woman that who's name I didint get . She became very rude an harassing threats you name it .  I hung up

These people called my job 10 times today. Asking to speak to my employer. They even went on Company Website and looked for my bosses name. They called me a degenerate. Called my boss an idiot. I requested a supervisor and he was just as ridiculous. Most unprofessional people I have ever dealt with. Threatened to send a sheriff to my job and have me arrested. Biggest flag - THEY DIDN'T PROVIDE ME ANY OF THE BAD CHECK INFO!! Total SCAM!!! Ignore these idiots!! I called my bank and they told me to ignore. I did apply for pay day loan online so I believe that is how they have my information.

I also received a letter from these useless a$$ holes and I called them they told me to prove it that I didn't owe who they said I owed so I called the company that they said I owed debt to I wasn't even in there system so they filed a fraud report ..I called Jason and Caitlin back told them I never even had an account with the place they said I owed ...they changed there tone and wanted nothing to do with me I contacted the attorney generals office in my state and the Bureau of consumer reports and they will be investigating them ....

i was contacted by them in Dec, Jan ,Feb , they say i owe 1177.74 for a Capital One Credit card account that they bought and were now collecting for, i called the credit card company, and gave them the original account number they said i had thru a letter, Capital One had no record of me even applying for a card or even haveing a outstanding balance with them, so i contacted my local Better Business Bureau and they said  Consumer Recovery Group has a " F " rating and was a scam, i filed a report with the BBB in ohio and also the iowa Attorney General, Next report is the US Postal Inspector for Fraudulent mailings, I suggest those who get letters keep them and report it to the Postmaster General also.....
