407-965-5963

This call is from one of those scam collection agencies using a new tactic.  Just received a call from this number for my husband.  Caller ID said the number belonged to C.A.G.  They left a message saying they are looking for a person we've never heard of.  They go on to say this person listed my husband as a reference and that my husband will be subject to a court subpoena if he doesn't call them back and tell them how they can find this other guy.  The number they left to call back is a different toll free number 877-373-6519.  

I received a phone call from 407-965-5963, lady on the phone claiming to be Tameka from Capital Arbitrations asking for my husband since he had listed me as a reference although they didn't call him directly. They wanted to ask my husband his side of the story regarding a complaint from a Cash Store where it was caught on surveillance. They also left a toll free number to call back which was 877-373-6519 ext. 309. When I asked my husband about this he told me no one ever called him directly. If someone wanted to speak to my husband directly they would've called him directly. Also, the lady on the phone referred to me by maiden name. I've been married now for 6 years.  Sounded super fishy and we never called them back. I'm glad I found this post.

I got a call yesterday from a guy with the Florida number and told me to call that other 877 number as well. They called my mom to. It really scared me at work and he just called me again. It's really making me mad!!! What do I do!!!

They called me and left a message for my brother... Saying almost the same... Except they said it was check fraud...

They called my brother saying some check fraud. They called his ex girlfriend too. But I don't even have her phone number!!!! SCAM I never receive call or letter from them!!!

Yah they told me check fraud. I went tithe cops and they said block his number. But the cops did ca and the guy did stay on the line to try and make the cops believe it too. They are good. Don't give in. I would never write a bad check. And they don't ever call you first to let you know that you're going to get served papers either. People just serve you. What scammers!!

as I have read the previous statements , same here,
The man on the phone said 'check fraud', but I  know now it is a collection agency. they said call them back at a different number, (which is on my voice mail) I called the number (407) area code, that they called my phone after their hours.  It was Capital Arbitrations, which I did not know what that was, I do now.  Well, they wanted to speak to my son or husband.  Hate to say it, but my son did owe a cash place type of business, and apparently my son put his dad down as a referance.  When my son can, he will settle up with him when he gets a regular job,  I taught him better than that.  owe no man, pay your debts.  but this is not the first time some sort of collection agency called...   even after my brother died some place called, which wanted me to send proff of my brothers will to them.  Are you kidding.  I looked up their number too and also, it was a debt collector,  and I know my brother did not owe any debts.  so the moral of the story, don't get upset, look up the phone number, and do some search first.  Don't let the collectors scare your, hang up..... but all should pay what money they barrow and other types of bills.....I'm in Southern IL.

And know the laws in regards..

These people are SCAMMERS.. They tell you there has been check fraud against you. Check Fraud is a felony and the only people that would be looking for you is the police. There would be a warrant out for your arrest. There would not be an arbitrator that calls you, and threatens legal action. They have called and harassed my family saying they would be supinaed
if they didn't tell them my whereabouts. As soon as I told her the call was being recorded, and asked for a letter verifying this debt she promptly hung up and never called back. They are looking for payment on a payday loan, which they cannot collect because payday loans are illegal in mass.  Also this is a loan that was paid back and they are looking for the interest which they think they are owed. Do not listen to them, they try to get more of your personal and banking information. If you are worried check with your local police department, they would know if you have any charges against you.

This same scam group has called back again two days in a row.  Rather than asking for husband this time, we think they are saying that they are looking for the same unknown individual directly about a "returned check".  However, we can't tell for sure if the name is the same because they use a robo call "insert" to say the name and it's so garbled you can't understand it.  Again, we're going to ignore.  

I received the same call in regards to defrauding a financial institution with a surveillance tape for my grown son.  At first due to bad behavior years ago I thought the call was "legit!".    It's a hoax!!  The call came to my residence in Texas.

They use illegal tactics and violate FDCPA on people. Their tactics are so antiquated.

My best advice is to not answer the phone and if you do, just hang up in the middle of their speech. It's all rehearsed and its all illegal. If you want, you can tell them to have a nice day and go f themselves.

these people called my father-n-law during the holidays. On top of that, we live in two completely different states. This is ridiculous. I'm calling the police on them.

Don't ignore these calls. If it is indeed a collection agency and they are violating FDCPA, talk to them and SUE THEM.

Im trying to find any address for his company if anyone has one. They have been calling me and I refuse to have any contact with them over the phone so I want to send them a letter but cannot find them ANYWHERE on the internet. Im not sure if the account has hit my credit report because nothing on my report matches Capital Arbitration at all and when I google the phone number, this is all I get. Please help

I have had repeated calls from same scammers. Finally contacted the FBI, and was told this is a total scam. They are only after your personal info and money. Hang up and do not call them back. They also had info on my relatives, and have called them. FBI said this is an "off shore" faudulant organization. Not sure how they are using a Florida # to call from. Also, check your credit report annually.  

Got the call from this company 2 days in a row. Once asking for me by my previous married name and also asking for my ex. Stating he took out a loan , defaulted and put my name down with it. We have been divorced for 12 years so no I did not help him take out a loan in 2012. The second they called asking for him specifically. Automated system with his name inserted in the blank. Saying a check was returned to the bank. Um then I am sure the bank will let me know that and a lot sooner than a year++ after its happened! Blocked their number and I am getting my legal shield people after them. This is nuts!!!

Same situation with me. I've tried to call them back and they never answer but when they call they call from different area codes 972, 407, 605. I've looked on line to try to find them and I can't no where I even tried the BBB and nothing. I'm done playing these games I've blocked them and will continue to block them.

I got a call today from (972)564-8764. The lady left a message at my job for another person. I called the lady back leaving my name. She then returned my call and stated that she was looking for me and that they had a case on me for check fraud. she stated that she was going to take me to court or settle it today but needed my bank information. I told her to send me an email first so I could see something in writing. She didn't know I was checking to see if this was a scam. Now I see it is.

Have recieved phone call from Capital Arbritrations, a Tomika Capers is the the scammer uses. They really do their homework on the person that they say trying to get a hold of. That call about my daugther using her maiden name not her married name of 14 years. They use infromation about what they can dig up on parents, brothers, sisters and even grandparents. They don't ask for money on first calls. Police have been told about these calls and they say to hangup on them. The FBI are already been look for them. They say it's an offshore scammer using Florida phone numbers. I've read many of these postings and they all sound alike. I hope they catch them soon.
