Mike Miller from Kaufman and Hines investingating a claim that I issued a check to for financial gain.

Guy called looking for employee.  I have personally been talked down to from these people and they have used cuss words towards me and im just the switchboard operator.  So now when they call they just get voice mail and no nice Susie.

They called asking for someone I do not know.  When I refused to give them my personal information they said they would proceed against me.  I called back and asked for their legal department and was told they do not have one.  I then asked for the name of the managing attorney and they refused to give it to me.  Total scam.  I will be reporting them to the attorney general and I suggest others do the same.

Hi I have been getting calls from an investigator Sara Brown,She stated that I had committed check fraud.which I did not write a check for a payday loan. I found out that where I live a pay day loan is illegal. I spoke to someone at the attorney general's office and she told me not to send them a dime because it was illegal in our state and no one could go to jail for a pay day loan.

Just got a message from Michael Miller telling me I had committed check fraud, and to call this number back as soon as possible.  I have no idea what he is talking about.  The number is out of Georgia, I am sure he will be harrasing me for some time, I have reported these bottom feeders to the Feds once and will do it again~!

I received a call from this number 6788942746 stating that they were investigating me for depository check fraud from a Payday loan yes I had an account with 2 years ago. Her name was Ms. Mahone she informed me of the balance and verified the banking account it was done on. Not liking to leave debt out there unneccesarily we set up a payment arrangement that was to come out of my account on 2/17. That payment as of 3/3 stll has not come out of my account and everytime i call back it rings to voicemail. I haven't heard from her or anyone else since. Need to find out who to call about this.

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.>

Got a call from someone named Sheree Glover at Staley, lawhorn and Lebowski. (lebowski, really?). Said a complaint had been filed against my name and social for depository bank fraud. She thought she was going to intimidate me into sending her my hard earned cash. I asked for her complete company name and she provided such. I asked for the mailing address and she said " You can google it" Despite repeated requests, she would not provide such.
I did a little research on the net and there is a legit company called Staley and Lawhorn in Georgia that is a CONSTRUCTION COMPANY!!! I do believe they are trying to use a legit company's info to scam folks. I requested documentation in WRITING of this supposed debt.
I intend to file an FTC complaint, state attorney general., etc. Supposedly this was a payday loan???
Unfortunately for this bogus company, internet payday loans are illegal in Va. so this fictionalized debt would be illegal to collect in virginia.

I've been receiving call from the above number regarding a debt. A man named Mr. Jones they have debited my account of $120.00 for an account they do not hold. This heart breaking for me because financially I had no air to take a $120.00 loss. I have now been contacted by another company saying they are holding the same account, so confused. I will contact the original lender of the account to see if they can actually tell me who has the account. I now have to close my account so that STALEY, LAWHORN & LEBOWSKI HAS NO MORE ACCESS TO MY LIMITED FUNDS. This has hurt me in a way that only prayer can help. Please be advised of debit collectors taking advantage of your hand earned monies. And to Mr. Jones or Aden Dennis at the following phones numbers 678-245-4411, 678-383-4374, or any other numbers you have listed I surly hope you enjoyed the $120.00 dollars. Have a wonderful lunch or dinner on me and my children. God Blessed.
