THIS ORGANIZATION IS A KNOWN CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE WHERE DEBT COLLECTORS, HIGH ON DRUGS, POSING AS POLICE OFFICERS ARE CALLING CONSUMERS WITH THREATS OF ARREST AND SEIZURE. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM! THEY ARE LIARS, THIEVES AND EXTORTIONISTS.

Bud Says...

OUCH! Just when you think the sleaze can’t get any worse, along comes our Buffalo, NY

WORST debt collectors to show us there are new and better ways to fleece money from unsuspecting consumers.

This is yet another offshoot of the GIOVE LAW OFFICES, MCKELVEY LAW OFFICES, EVANS LAW OFFICES out of Western New York. QUADRANT GROUP, LLC, reportedly owned, run and managed by DOUGLAS J. MACKINNON - a name and partner in all of the above including ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT SERVICES and FIRST AMERICAN INVESTMENT has added this organization to the group of bottom-feeder debt collection groups ripping off consumers.

www.giovelawofficeexposed.com

Reportedly being financed (in part) and managed by Daniel Mendez and Reverend Daniel Grant of Sweet Home Church of something….are said to be recycling old accounts from GIOVE/MCKELVEY/EVANS/COLLINS LAW OFFICES in the hopes of finding money off the bones of already dead collection paper. One report stated that the Reverend was even using church funds to help finance the purchases, a report that could not be confirmed.

In the typical mode of these ‘BUFFALO STYLE’ debt collectors, anyone

being contacted by QUADRANT GROUP, LLC can safely surmise that:

EVERYTHING THEY TELL YOU IS A LIE.
YOU WILL NOT BE SUED.

YOU WILL NOT HAVE YOUR WAGES GARNISHED.

THEY CANNOT TAKE LEGAL ACTIONS OR THREATEN GOVERNMENT ACTIONS OVER AN IRS 1099-C FORM

THEY CANNOT REPAIR OR MAKE CHANGES ON YOUR CREDIT.

THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORITY OR LEGAL MUSCLE.

They are con men, with a track record of proven criminal behavior that includes lies, threats, extortion and violation of federal law, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. We found NO licenses or bonds as required in many states and their association with the WORST debt collectors in America is cause for anyone to be VERY cautious and suspicious of them.

As with many other debt collectors associated with these organizations, you can assume that many may have drug and alcohol problems and that many may have criminal records for various offenses such as drug possession, use and distribution.

QUADRANT GROUP, LLC is an infection you want to avoid!
DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM! NEVER GIVE THEM ANY

BANKING OR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION!
TAPE RECORD THEIR CALLS, YOU MAY BE

ABLE TO COLLECT ON LAWSUITS!

Wilkes called me from QAR LLC. I knew this was phoney. 716-210-1332. I'm glad I found this web site. Now the next time they call I got something for them.

They Call EVERY morning. Twice on the same day--4 minutes apart!

Called them back and said the person they are looking for does not reside here and under the Fair Debt Act they can no longer contact this number.
They were angry that I would not give any details of the person they were looking for and rudely hung up on me.

I received a call from QAR LLC, and they left me a message saying that it was URGENT that I call them back with my case number. The number they gave me was 1-866-778-0624, and the person calling was a Mr. Solerno, and I saw his name somewhere else on this site.

I called and he gave me the "pay now and avoid court fees" speech, and asked me if I wanted to pay now, and talk to someone else. I asked if I could call back as I was busy and he said "I can't control what will happen when I hang up the phone" so I said I was busy and had to call back and he just hung up on me.

I then called another agency called River Walk who sold my account to QAR, and when I told them they sold my account to criminals, they hung up on me too.

I do owe this debt, but I am NOT paying anything to these people, so now I'll have to figure out a way to get this off of my credit report one day.

Also, Mr. Solerno gave me my credit score, and said it may be off by 1 or 2 points....he was off by 300! I told him this and he made up some excuse then went right to the "pay now or else" stuff.

I'm glad I did a search for "QAR threat calls" or I would have thought I was going to jail or something.

People are unreal.

They have since changed their physical address to QAR

3806 Union road
Suite 2 #260

Toll Free: 866 778 0624

While searching for these people, they seem to be found at www.qar-inc.com as well as a company also called QAR which can be found at www.qarcollect.com, and that "company" is based out of NJ, so I don't know if it's the same company or 2 different collection companies called QAR, LLC, but it's fishy to me.

Received call from QAR, LLC, wanted to talk with my husband and said that "Papers" would be going out to "THE COUNTY" on Monday morning?  I explained that husband on road driving truck and would not be home until the following weekend and she said that if I didn't want to take a message I was being uncooperative and she hung up on ME. I asked what the call was concerning while I was speaking to Her and she said it was a matter going back to 2007 and she could not give me any more information.

Read my post dated April 23rd. THIS IS A CRIMINAL OPERATION.

When I called this company to resolve a debt the operator who picked up the phone, who's supposed name was Mr.Magna, was a completely beligerant animal as far as customer service goes.  All I wanted to do was find out how much I owe and to whom I can send my payment to.  He continued to tell me that there is no way no how they will take a check payment through the mail....he can only take it over thephone.  When I refused to give out my banking info he continued to call me names, like ignorant, [***], and also made sure to tell me that my "credit is shot" and "your a loser so pay your debts".  I was astonished!  When I asked for another person, or Manager, he said he was the Manager, and then I asked for whomever was above him and he said he is "the highest power" in the office at that time.  After I hung up on him, I realized I did not get any info I originally called for.  So I called back and asked for someone else after he announced his name, he refused and continued to harras me about not paying my debts.  Also, when I asked for the addresst that the money order "only" can go, b/c that was all they can accept, he mis-pronounced my name, I corrected him, and he so ignorantly repeated it as "slap-dick". After that, I refused to be civil to him any further and asked for all of his info, address, phone numbers, extentions, names and all, thats when he told me that he just talked to his lawyers and they will be filing suit and then heard my mom in the background and continued to tell me to stop getting coached by my lawyer and to put her on. I came across this site and wanted to make sure that EVERYONE KNOWS TO NOT DEAL WITH THEM....OR WASHINGTON MUTUAL FOR FORWARDING THIER RECORDS TO THEM.

What did you do to resolve this????????? If you were able too.

Avoid speaking to QAR LLC at all cost. They are liers and are trying to scam people for money. I will be filing a police report today!!!! They gave me all of this information- that there's an outstanding debt, etc but they never gave me no concrete information. They then gave me the last 4 digits of a Social Security number which was bogus, they also said that I owned a PO BOX, which was also bogus, lastly, they gave me a cell phone number, which was also bogus!!!! After I wouldn't give them information, Mr. Giovanni Salerno hung up on me! Don't call these people back, make sure you check your credit report too! The other individual name that they gave was Ms. Megan McCain! Horrible, we need to protect ourselves!

Quadrant Group called and left a message on my machine at 7:30 in the morning.  I think the man said his name was Perryman.  He said he was with QAR and he received a phone complaint from a relative for my husband.  Said some of his 'information was on her paperwork'? and that he is a 'person of interest in this matter'.  Asked to call back 866-778-0624 ext 29.  The call number on my id was different though, 716-210-1371, but I assume they are the same people.  We don't aren't behind on any debts, so I'm not sure what they are getting at here, but we aren't calling them back.  If they call again, I will report them!

I got calls from QAR LLC they have threatened to garnish my wages, the people I have talked to have been very RUDE ...Ithink the first one was Ms Lake the second person who left a message was Dennis Nor Ext.17 the # they left was 866-778-0624  they told me that if I don't resolve this that they will garnish my wages, they also informed me that I have a 7.000 dollar credit card and that if I don't use it to resolve this matter they will take action ( I don't have that card!)  I have contacted a lawyer and am in the process of resolving things with him...

They called me this evening and did not even say hello when I answered. The guy goes "Umm Ma'am?" and of course I was like "what?" He said he was looking for me and I told him he had the wrong number. He then kept saying well, the phone company says this is "Lindsey's number" News flash to that fool  IT'S NOT MY PHONE LINE, SO THERE IS NO WAY THE PHONE COMPANY CAN SAY IT BELONGS TO ME! Anyways, my mom got on the phone and finally told him that I didnt live there anymore and he said okay. What a dummie. They havent called me in a year and they say that everytime and nothing happens. I know I have debt that needs to be paid but I aint payin it to no bogus company.

I have had the same, exact experiences as above.  They offered my PII, including last 4 of my SSN (personal identification information) to a woman living at my residence (girlfriend).  His name is always, Mr. Salerno (spelling?). Today, he insulted my girlfriend at home by stating that she was no listening to him inform her of his message.  He has left messages that include the terms of "formal complaint" (the bait to get me to return their call), "I am a fair man" (then offers a settlement of over $1k less), insists on full banking information, will not send statement/explanation of debt owed and insists on my providing place of employment.

They called a relative & made threats about a "formal complaint" against my wife.  They have left no messages here, although we do not answer un-recognized phone numbers.  Again it is the famous bogus "Mr. Salerno".  I find it interesting that these bogus companies can't even come up with a different name once in a while, just more unreal threats. Our attorney has been notified.

I was called yesterday by a mr. cummings. He told me that a court summons was going to be served at my place of employment. I of course started to freak out. I don't want any problems. As most of you above. They had my last 4 of my social security. I then stupidly made arrangements for a payment on my checking account. I am not sure what to do next. If anyone has any advice let me know.

You need to IMMEDIATELY notify your bank and close your account. This is a SCAM operation and they will drain it dry, leaving you with NO recourse.

Then, file a complaint with the FTC and the NY Attorney Grievance Committee:

I received a phone call from QAR regarding that I had a credit card which I was not paying on, and they were issuing me a summons for the note. They refused to furnish me with a print out data, and told me that I had the worst credit possible and I couldn't buy squat, and my credit score was less than 300. They refused to let me talk, they were yelling for me to just pay up, but gave me no direct amount. I hung up on them. They are also known as FALZONE. Don't take these calls.....
