Hi,
I received the same phone call, from detective Tromberg, from the same number. He also stated that I owed a payday loan, and told me that I was going to go to jail if I did not send him a certain amount of money. He had me all upset and crying at my place of employment. Him as well as a officer Roebuck from a 347-832-2543 number kept on calling my job. I kept asking for information, and they were reluctant to give it to me. I honestly thought that I was in some type of legal trouble, but I am now seeing that this is a scam! This is crazy, and I am sick of being harassed. They tell me that unless I pay them that same day, that they are going to open a case against me for "bad checks" and come to my job and arrest me. This is the craziest thing I have ever heard. How can we stop these people please? They also asked to talk to my SUPERVISOR! This is harassment to the fullest. HELP PLEASE!

Just in case they try this one on you too: I got another one from some 202 number: BREN BRAXTON saying the same thing Mr.Tromberg was. I am getting sick of this...seriously. Beware of some company named BRN- Balance Recovery Network or something like it. TOTAL FAKE/SCAM/HARASSMENT. How can I fight these people please?
I have been getting very HARASSING calls at work, for the last 6-9 months. I have had several different people, names, and "companies" calling me from all different states. They claim to be "investigators" or "lawyers" from CashNet. They always claim that if I do not send them some money that same day, that I will go to jail. They say they are going to "process" it at the end of the day and that someone will come up to my place of employment and arrest me.
I did take a payday loan, but that was all the way back in 2008, and it is now 2010. I offer to set up a payment plan, and they tell me that I cannot do that. They tell me no checks, cash, or money orders will be accepted, only account to account transfers. This seems very fishy to me. They are always very rude. I ask for account numbers, badge numbers, or company names, and they always "beat around" giving me such information. I know that it is illegal for them to KEEP calling my job making these threats. They have even asked to talk to my supervisor, gotten nasty with our receptionist, and even went as far as getting my mother's number and called her house. Please beware that these practices are illegal. I know this is not right, but I am unsure of how to make it stop. I can end up getting in trouble at work because of HOW MUCH they call. Any advice would be well appreciated. Thank you.
ALSO: BEWARE OF THE NUMBER 202-239-0992 and the name BREN BRAXTON. It is a fake!!!

This man say he is an OFFICE TROMBERG saying he is PA Police Office and telling everone and calling every extension in my job telling my boss that I was going to jail,  What an ass.  I have no bill or ties with anyone please help

Consumer Alert: Attorney General warns Kansans of debt collection scam

January 29, 2010 -- Attorney General Steve Six is cautioning Kansas consumers about telephone calls from apparent fake debt collectors who are impersonating law enforcement officers in an effort to extort money from consumers.   Consumers are warned to not submit payments to these fraudulent debt collectors.

When calling, the scammers most often state they are attempting to collect a debt related to an internet payday loan obtained by the consumer, but which the consumer never repaid.  Consumers state they have never obtained such a loan or paid off the loan years ago.  The scam artists have most recently identified themselves as ACS, National Affidavit Processing Department and United Financial Crime Division, but may use additional phony names.  It appears the phone numbers used by the scammers are “spoofed” numbers, so that the number appearing on a consumer’s caller ID is not the actual number of where the call originated. It appears the calls in question may be originating from outside the United States.

When questioned, the individual calling refuses to disclose the full name or address of the collection agency they claim to represent.  These scammers have been able to provide consumers with identifying information, such as the consumer’s social security number, home address, e-mail address, names of family members and the consumer’s computer IP address.  Since the callers are able to provide valid personal information, consumers may become confused and believe they are being contacted in regard to a legitimate debt.

If the initial debt collection scam is unsuccessful, consumers have been re-contacted months later with the scammers posing as law enforcement officers or officers of the court.  Typically, the consumer is threatened with arrest for fraud or some other fictitious crime unless the consumer agrees to immediately wire money via Western Union.  The fictitious officers strive to frighten and confuse consumers into compliance by using legal sounding terms such as “We’re filing an affidavit against you” or by stating a lawsuit has been or is in the process of being filed against the consumer.

A hallmark of each scam has been calling consumers repeatedly at their place of employment.  This scam hit home when an employee of the Kansas Attorney General’s Office was repeatedly called both on her cell phone and at work.  Despite the employee’s repeated verbal disputes, the caller refused to provide any identifying information to allow her to send a written dispute. The scammer also continued to call her numerous times a day regarding a payday loan she denied obtaining. Two months later, she was again contacted by telephone by an individual identifying himself as an “officer”.

“I denied owing the debt and refused to pay without being provided validation of the debt. I was then told, ‘If that’s the case, I will have local law enforcement come to your place of business and drag you out kicking and screaming’,” stated the employee.

“It is important for consumers to know their rights under the law,” Attorney General Six said. “If a consumer is receiving calls from a debt collection company and believe it is a scam, I encourage them to contact our office immediately.”

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), collectors are required to send consumers a written notice within five days of the initial contact.  The notification should contain  information such as the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed and a statement informing the consumer they have thirty days to contact the debtor in writing to dispute the debt or request validation of the debt. In addition, legitimate debt collectors are prohibited by the FDCPA from making false or misleading representations, such as the consumer has committed a crime, implying nonpayment will result in the consumer’s arrest, or using the threat of violence.
