I also got a phone call today. Mine was from a blocked number then was told to call this number. I did, and they said they were portfolio business management. They said they were filing legal documents against me regarding a check that I supposedly wrote. Just 2 months ago they told me this and I paid knowing that I had debt from my past, but after doing some research I am pretty sure they are a scam. Today they wouldn't give me any information on how to make sure they had my info updated and we're VERY RUDE. Be very careful with them! You can only fool me once, I will be waiting to be served papers this time.

they called me today and are sending papers using a name i haven't been in 15 -20 years.

Called today claiming i owed a debt for 10 years ago on a cash advance, Mr Stone, left me with the impression he was a attorney, but only working as an arbitrator. He could not proivide me with the proof of debt right away. Spun me with talk of being charged with check decepition with intent. Sounded very criminal in nature. They had me on my heels and it was such a small amount that i offered to work out a payment arrangement with them on a bi weekly basis. I made the offer of repayment and he transfered me. Brenda (very rude and pushy ) whom picked up the call informed me that the offer was too small and if i didnt pay the settlement offer in one sum. Within 24 hours a process server would come to my work and serve me with "legal documents". After researching my rights with the federal trade comminsion, I callled "Mr. Stone" back and demanded a "verification of debt" within 5 business days, I asked if he was an attorney and he quickly denied he was. I asked him if he was a debt collector, and he admitted to being one which was the first time he actually ackowledged it. After informing him that I was aware of my legal rights per the fredral trade commision he hung up the phone on me..very professional..i'll be waiting on my "legal documents"

I received an unknown call today and a voicemail from a Tina Stuns or something and she left a phone number and case number. I have gotten a call just like this before and I knew what it was about before I called her. She started to tell me I owed money to a cash service and I interrupted her and said "No I do not". I said that I have gotten this call before and I know its a scam and I don't want her calling me back. She got me off the phone real fast by saying "have a nice day" and hanging up. So I called back and the original girl who answered and transferred me to the "legal department" in the first place answered again and I told her I wanted to speak with someone other than who she first transferred me to. Then I said "well maybe you can help me." I told her I want my number removed from their little database and never to call me again. Then she tried telling me they don't place outgoing calls. I told her "Yes you do, how do you think I got the number to call??" She continued to argue and said if I know its a scam, why do I call? She said to disregard the call. then hung up on me. Very unprofessional and rude. IF YOU GET A CALL FROM SOMEONE WITH PORTFOLIO BUSINESS MANAGEMENT, DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT PAY THEM!!!! Report them and write them a letter demanding they never call you again. They are scamming people!

I received a message from this number today on my voicemail. Right away I felt this was a scam, as I felt like they had harassed me by leaving such a nasty message on my voicemail and the fact they are trying to threaten me by saying someone is coming to my home with legal papers. Didnt leave any other information. Who ever this company is, PORTFOLIO BUSINESS MANAGEMENT, has violated my rights and I am filing a formal complaint against this type of practice.

Received a call (came up Restricted). Stated that she was a process server and wanted to verify some information before she came out to serve me. Now, I don't know all the laws, but I do know that if you wanted to serve someone court documents you don't call them to verify any information. You simply attempt to serve them. She then gave me the number of 855-322-5811 to call, and advised she would put a 24 hour hold on the subpoena. Checked the number and found this site. Won't be calling any number, and will not be answering anymore restricted calls. That is why they invented voicemails. She also told me the name of the company was "Business Management".

These people called my job and didn't get anywhere and in turn called my cell from a blocked number which I don't answer. They then called my sons phone and left a message saying they would be sending legal papers to my job or home and for me to call 855-322-5811 with a case number...I'll wait on the papers. I paid out over $1000 about 5 years ago and never got anything back from it.. Not going to get me again!!

This just happen to me today

Something very fishy about these calls. Ive had them call me from this number and also a different number and they are both coming up as unknown, but they are giving me their number to call back. Two completely different numbers. Anyone have any other experience with speaking to these people?

Did you ever get anything from them ?  Papers served?

I got a recorded call stating they were going to serve me "legal papers".  They also gave the last 4 digits of my  social security number which was totally incorrect.  SCAM

Hi. Just curious if you ever received those "served papers" or if you found that they are legitimately a scam? Ive gotten a few calls from them and I was unsure as to if I should return the call or not.

I to got a call from 18553225811 they left msg stating they are Liasons Office, a recent case was filed against me, my ssn ended in 9861, my case # was 56058as or something. SCAM

A lady calling herself Shiela Baines or baynes called saying that she was an independent locator from "The Department of Legal Service" about a case being filed against me today.  And told to call about the "charges" being filed against me.  Well at first listen this scared the hell out of me because the terms she used implying that this was criminal in nature.  After listening to the message a couple of times I realized it sounded fishy and googled the number, which brought me here.

I am going to call her back and leave my lawyer's address and phone number

I received a call from this number today. Name was Jessica Cunningham said she was representing legal department from a company that called Business Management. Said the document had my name and last four of social attached. Said the documents were coming out of Iroquois County and and be served at home and at work. That I would need 2 forms of ID and a signature when she showed up. Also gave me a case #. I called the I called the circuit clerk's office in my county, and they had nothing . A friend of mine and myself did some more research and we ended up here. Go figure!

They told me someone will be at my house with legal documents of court.

no papers..lol they are just threats

They are legit a scam. It is ILLEGAL to call people and say they will be served papers on these matters. Also look up your statue of limitations in your state to make sure they are wrong. My brother was contacted by these exact people tonight and when he blasted them with his law knowledge they hung up on him SEVERAL times. I too was almost scammed into paying something till my brother found out and blasted them. They didn't see a DIME or haven't heard from them since either.

So please make sure you get the persons name address of business business name and google them on the spot. and research their business and google complaints will help you realize they are just scammers.

go to your bank that you paid through.Tell them the situation and they will refund you and investigate it.If they find that it is a true debt then you will have to repay
