512-777-4478

Received a call at my inlaws house  from this number they left a message about an affidavit being filed for  my husband we havent lived or used my inlaws number in 18years? This is the second time these scammers have tried this crap.

got a call from this number, they called my moms house and I have not lived there for 8 years.  Left a message saying that I was involved in a criminal investigation regarding someone I have never heard of.  I did call the number back from my work phone and they answered by saying "investigations"  I said what kind of investigations?  They said bad checks... I have no problems with my bank!  

Just got a call from them accusing me of fraud and did I have a lawyer. I hung up they called back. I told them to stop calling me and the woman said, "NO!" I told her I was going to block her number. She got mad and said they would "sign-off" on the account and I would go to jail.

Called on 11/06/2013 - Calling me a known associate of someone in a check fraud.  Googled this number and read the comments then tried to call the back to play with them.. Did not answer.

This number called and gave information that they had a case against a daugher-inlaw.  This is a fraudulent call attempting to collect an alleged debt from a family member.  The debt is not verified. This is scam collection agency.

got a call from a Brian Kaulberg out of Texas about a pending warrant for check fraud against my mother in law. I'm calling [***] on this one. She doesn't use checks.  the callers id came up as 512-777-4478.

I received a call from these [***] also, saying that I was going to be prosecuted if I didn't cooperate. Just grateful that I had enough sense to do my own investigating about them before I end up getting scammed. Beware

I would like to thank everyone for putting my mind at ease.  I just recently got a call from the same number.  same scenario except they knew about a payday loan I had taken out.  the phone call happened at my niece's house.  I don't even have her number and she was not a reference on the loan.  threatened me in the same way.  called a lawyer who told me not to talk to them again.  he said things are not done that way and that if he were a legitimate lawyer (never spoke to the actual lawyer, but his "associate" who had a very snooty voice.) he could be disbarred and he would know this.

let me guess....you never actually spoke with mr. kuhlberg.  he was in a meeting.  same here.  same threat too

Got the same message pretty much as everyone else did, since he stated that they were a "private investigations" company, i asked for there license # to verify with the State. They do not have one, i even went to the local police department here since i work closely with the officers and we dialed from that phone so they would see we mean business. They kept hanging up on us and refused to speak, then stopped answering the phone.
I just filed a complaint with the State Attorneys Office about this fraud taking place.
So folks.....PLEASE don't give them any personal information......also, if they read back the last 4 of your social, do NOT confirm it with them, then they could scam you a thousand different ways.
