844-850-3114

got an automated call from them claiming they have a case on file for me, more [***]! Total scam!

Got an automated call from them stating there was case against me!  Such BS

Got same message and I told them to contact my lawyer.  TOTALLY scammers

"Hi quest order on my name is Brenda Williams. I'm calling from. And he processing. Sorry to bother you, sir. The reason I'm calling because I had a case forwarded to my office this morning. It is in reference to a Clifford, Allura We're off Filing Department, we were. We were retained by our client. Clifford actually has a formal complaint pending against in Baltimore County, we're unable to reach him directly. So reluctantly we do call family members, hopefully you could pass on this message. I have a 72 hours by state law to get this matter rectified and I'm hoping that he would wanna do that on the voluntary basis. I simply need to retain a statement from him. My phone number is (844) 850-3114 extension 305, and please dressed in that it is extremely important that you call me back as soon as possible. 72 hours is a very short time if if he doesn't get back to meet this case will go to County and he will be served. I'm trying to stop that from happening, I, his case number is 100350 still need that number and I do appreciate your time. Thank you."

Total BS. As soon as I applied for a credit card, I got this call, lying about someone named "Clifford", as they have in the past. Thank goodness that I have Google voice which simply sends the call to spam. Why would anyone be so dumb as to call these fraudsters back?

to torment and terrorise the a$$holes back would be one but use star 67 at the start of the call.......

>> THEY CHECKED OUT.   <<

Um.
Who is "they"?
Three companies have been mentioned in this thread:
ne consultants
BRAXTON RECOVERY
M E Processing

How about YOU telling us the real name of the company, its physical address, and website, since you "checked them out"?
You can even SHOUT that info at us ... but I doubt you will return, shill.

Lurkers:
A phone call, email or text message from a supposed debt collector is not legally sufficient evidence of debt.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) includes statements such as this:

* Every collector must send you a written “validation notice” telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don’t think you owe the money.   ["Written" means snailmailed - US Mail ... not emailed or texted]

Source:
https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Therefore, if that caller wants you to pay immediately, before you get the written validation notice via snailmail, or if the caller wants payment via green dot, Western Union, or other untraceable means, then the call is definitely not legitimate.

IF you wish to communicate with the supposed collector / creditor, visit  the following page, for example "Action Letters" to snailmail:

If you KNOW you owe no money, or believe the call was from a fake debt collector, please take the time to read this:

First of All.. This is a scam for the phone number listed on this post and here's why.
It is unlawful for processors and collection companies to provide any details about the person they are looking ..for any reason to any other person over the phone. They usually state they are just trying to help and avoid "The NEXT STEP", or; this is the last chance to resolve this matter.  But.. their tactics are illegal.  Think about it.. Any person delivering process papers will not want to alert you that they are coming. They are serving you papers, they know where to find you already.  You cannot be served judgement papers without a court ruling, and if you were found liable/guilty in a court case, you would know it.  You would have several papers from the county mailed to you stating that with all the details of the case.  What you have here are illegal debt collectors using fear tactics to people that are unaware of the laws and processes. Praying on the uninformed.  There's a $10 bounty on these collection companies if you can find out who they actually are..but they are ghosts.  They have your information they have purchased for pennies on the dollar, but you cannot find out anything about them.. it's a CON... The debt may be real or even discharged from the original creditor.  80% of these guys are buying payday loan debt information trying to scare you to think they have some legal recourse.  Some of the information is not up to date.  Loan may be paid off somewhere in the collections stream, but they don't care.. they pray on the uninformed.

Here's the question to ask yourself to sort thru all the BS.

a) Have I received any written notice of the deb?  It's the law they must provide this. Ask for it!  They will either say that's already been sent, or we're beyond that.  NO.. it's the law, they must send it.
b) Did they spoof the phone number so you cannot track them down?  They're hard to track with VoIP lines.  Call forwarding techniques keep them in the shadows so you cannot dig too deep.  they also change their numbers regularly.  If it begins with Area Code 844.. I'd be skeptical.  Google 844 area code scams and see why you find.
c)Are they demanding payment right now?  Processors don't deal with $$ and they don't care.  They only deliver papers.  If you're being pressured to pay or else.. then it's a scam or illegal tactics.  Real collections are happy to work with you and share their information like phone numbers, addresses etc. They will talk to you without the pressure.  They want their money because that's how they get paid, but they know and follow the laws.
d) Call the county court house and investigate.  95% of the time, they will not know what you're talking about.
Don't fall for it.!!!

As a follow-up to my post.  The bounty to turn in illegal collection companies is $10k. I originally placed $10. forgot the K.
Turn the tables on them.. investigate them..

Seriously!!
Because they do NOT follow the collection rules...
Why do they only want to communicate over the phone with no US Mail written support?
Why is everything always so Urgent with only 24-48 hours to complete?
Why wont they give your their address?
Why do they spoof their phone numbers?
Why do process servers care about taking payments?
Why are their claims not on your credit reports?
I can go on.. but it's obvious you're associated with this group of predators.
I'm sure you guys will be changing your phone numbers and company name again real soon...

called and said that i have an arrest warrant to be serve in my work or at home and that i have 72 hours to call back and that they would be calling my husband and relatives so that they can give me the message

I get scammed often by these people so I know what to expect. This number is no different, he calls me every day and says he was forwarded a file from Tarrant County and I need to settle immediately or they will serve me papers at work or home. Total BS. He is now calling and saying he works for Tarrant County and he is coming to get me. Just ignore it, I have not answered once, yet he wastes his time calling me every single just to hear my voicemail. Be sure to report the scam to the Federal Trade Commission and put an alert on your credit reports.

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

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 the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
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. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

I did a little follow-up on this phone number.. I sent it to the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office with all of the information that has been provided.  I received a reply from them on Saturday 4/4/15 via telephone.  The reply stated.."Do NOT send any money to these people".  "They are scammers and we are well aware of their tactics".  "We have over 100 complaints about this number for illegal collections".. "Let us know if you acquire a real address or phone number for them but I doubt you will".  they pray on the uniformed.. Thank You.

Enough Said!!

You must work for "NE Processing" or sleeping with the scammers that do to make any remarks such as "darling".  Mr. McCoy was presented with a series of questions from my attorney to resolve any "legal" matters and Mr. McCoy could not answer any of those questions and hung up on my attorney.  If you are man enough to call to harass someone over a "legal" matter, be man enough to KNOW your job. Or more important; you may want to know where you work. Why is it that they cannot or wont give you the address of NE Processing?  Why is my attorney involved you ask, if this is a scam?  My attorney is involved because of the harassment I receive, my family members receive because of information they obtained illegally from our phone provider.  They call people that are linked to my phone service.  First they said they got my number from someone that used me as a reference and then when I asked them who or whom, then they said they got my number from a private investigator.  Get your story straight people! And if you are going to try to scam people you might want to hire smarter people than Mr. McCoy and Ms. White.  And finally, yes it was ok'd by my attorney to post what we have found to date to hopefully help others protect themselves from these people.

I received a call from this number demanding money

They called me saying they were the IRS and I needed to pay my tax bill or go to jail. Only problem is I don't owe the IRS money!!!
