866-927-1304

Called left a message some Brain ??? Couldn't understand and a company name I couldn't understand with associates at the end.  Then left a file number and a call back number of 866-927-1304 and an ext I couldn't understand.  Never said anything else.

they make threats about attcking your employment if thier call is not returned.

Yes, Brian Stantin...
call back as the banks will not be able to do anything once the paperwork is released...
that's what my message said.

They keep calling making threats all hours of the day and night...they do not identify themselves and I tried to call back and no answer or I get recorded answering machine...

I too received a call from these idiots, I have a voip telephone system and the vm displayed this number 310 299 0250 the message was not clear they said something about a 1099 tax form and said something about taking further action unless I called them back at 866-927-1304.  it's a scam don't fall for it

I got a call from a number threatening me about some IRS 1099c form. They have been harassing me for the past two months. SCAM for sure

I received same call with same mssg

These people called me from a 9092458099 number and left the message stating that I was picked for a 1099c filing audit. they wanted me to call the 1866 number back. I called the 909 number and some guy that sound drunk answered the phone. he would say 3 words and hang up. it is a scam for sure. we need to find these people and bring them to justice.  

Form 1099-C, deals with cancellation of debt.  Creditors are supposed to file this form for each
debtor for whom the creditor  canceled $600 or more of a debt owed to the creditor over the course of the reporting year. Any amount cancelled becomes more adjusted gross income subject to taxation during the taxpayers reporting year.

Not clear to me what sort of scam they could be trying.    

Other sites have reported this number coming from a group known as MS and Associates

Only address I can find:
MS Associates
P.O.  Box 172
Buffalo
NY
14202

This area seems to be a breeding ground for kitchen-table debt scammers.

MS and Associates is also related to:

TGK Services
3435 Harlem Rd Ste 5
Buffalo, NY 14225
(716) 931-5331

As I understand the instructions for that form, it can only be issued by the original creditor, not a debt collector or debt buyer.  Also, the issuer must be a regulated entity such as a bank or credit union.

See pages 3 & 4:  http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1099ac--2014.pdf

Called again and threatened to visit my home and then place of employment

I got this same lame message about a 1099 from the IRS and that they r going to push the issue if I
Don't reply back.

It's a predatory collection agency. I called back and had to fight to get their info. They said they were M&S a collection agency. Talked to Joe Metts asking for someone named Charlotte. When it was clear this was a wrong number I asked to ensure they never called again. He responded that he would call every day. Refer these calls to your attorney General.

The company is MS Associates, they are 3rd party debt collectors. From what I can tell usually small debts such as utility bills. They press for you to pay based only on the story they are telling you, and become irritated when you ask for some documentation and/or proof. For me, they said I had failed to pay my final utility bill in another city before I left, about 4 years ago. My payment history with the city utilities and my FICO score should tell them that I am not one to walk away from my obligations, but if I somehow missed this one I would gladly pay it. Instead of providing me with some documentation, he wants me to settle for half, with no documentation.

My 80 year old parents have been harrassed by someone calling from this number.  Wanting them to pay them money or they were going to serve "papers" on my dad.  After requesting documentation for what they're trying to collect, they just go into a rant about paying money to them.

I have received calls from this number 866 927 1304 to my employment. I have rec'd threats and they have tried to get personal info from my co workers. It embrassing and I have been a victim of identity theft in the past. They left threatnening messages that I will be taken to court and be sued.

Yes, that's correct.  The debt collector is just trying to scare someone by waving around a 1099C form.  What those fools don't realize is that if a creditor files a 1099C then that is an indication that the debt has been forgiven.   And if that's the case, why are they trying to collect on a forgiven debt?   It's all crazy, but the debt collectors who use that tactic are running a risk of prosecution, I think.

Print up this thread and give a copy to your employer's HR Dept and/or manager, so they know you're being harassed by scammers.  These folks are not legitimate in the least and they can't do zip to you.  BTW, victims of identity theft are NOT liable for debts incurred in their name by the ID thief.

Report them:  http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Also contact your local attorney general.

Seems to me to be a form of elder abuse.  

If they continue to bother you, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the [***] are working out of now.

Should shut them up for a little while.

You are correct, once the 1099C is filed they are no longer allowed to attempt to collect the money.
