You're right. This scam operation calls from many numbers, most of which have a Georgia area code and have many complaints filed on 800Notes.
Here's all the information on these crooks:
http://budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/cmc_recovery.htmAs Bud Hibbs' report indicates, these crooks are actually in Buffalo, New York, operate under many dopey aliases (CMC Recovery, Claims America, RSI, National Service Processors, etc.) and falsely represent themselves as being physically located in Georgia.
There are two Georgia addresses associated with this scam. One address in Georgia -- 5295 Stone Mountain Hwy, Stone Mountain, GA 30087 -- is actually the location of a Mail Boxes, Etc. storefront. In other words, the RSI/Claims America scam's Stone Mountain "office" is just a rented private mailbox.
The other Georgia address used by this scam is:
RSI Claims Process Services
2483 Heritage Village, Suite 16-324
Snellville, GA 30278
(404) 287-0204
Unsurprisingly, "Suite 16-324" is not a suite but another rented private mailbox at The UPS Store in the Heritage Village shopping center:
The UPS Store
Heritage Village Shopping Center
2483 Heritage Village
Snellville, GA 30278
Phone: (770) 979-7011
Fax: (770) 979-5711
