888-261-2180

I received a call from them also I want to know is this real or a scam?? They have all my banking information and everything and saying that I'm facing criminal charges for a payday loan that was taking out on 10/2008.

My office rec'd a call from someone claiming to be an investigator (investigator Walker) with attorney David Ross.  The woman spoke with a heavy accent muffled by a ton of static.  Left a message regarding a former employee of ours who was let go over 2 years ago and something about check fraud involving our company and we are required to contact them to avoid further litigation.  I called this number back and a man answers the phone saying "law office", I tell him what our message said and I am calling to find out what this is about and he puts me on hold.  3 minutes later when no one returned, I hung up.  They never called back.  Sounds like a scam to me!

Walker Investigative Services call David Ross to stop this summons which they will complete without your knowledge if you don't call them back - so thats what they claim - for fradulent check - check was never written and if its for a summons then why don't they serve me with a summons which is the "legal" and proper way to do things.  So what they are doing is neither legal or proper.  Scare tactics is what this is which is ILLEGAL - when you think of Walker Investigative Services they must be watching too much Walker Texas Ranger episodes on tv.

I stand corrected it Investigator Walker with Financial Crimes Investigative Unit for Attorney David Ross - whoever that may be.  Issuing a summons....funny who calls to tell you they are issuing a summons most people just do it if they are doing it.  Check fraud? Never was a check written.....

I just got a call with the same info as above, check fraud and about a summons being issued.  I certainly don't trust it and am not calling back.  If it is legit they'll have to send it certified mail or have a cop serve me.

I also got this same call today. Does anyone know if it is legit?

I got this call today too. I did a payday loan about a year ago. I do see where they are debt collectors. I filed Chapter  13 bankruptcy and my attorney said they can not collect on this any more and can not file charges on you there was not any checks written. I work at a bank so I really do not want them calling me here. I'm getting ready to call a criminal attorney and get them on the case to stop the calls, after I talk to one I will repost what I found out. Hang tight!

This company also contacted me and my friends at work.  Did you find anything out about them?

They are doing the same thing to me however I paid the payday advance so... I dont understand why they are calling me.

They just called my mom about check fraud and a payday loan.....they left a detailed message about this on my moms phone, about me, which is illegal.

Just received the same message on my vm at work. They called my mom who lives 500 miles away yesterday. when she called back and asked for this David Ross, they hung up on her. This is nothing but a scam, I am not returning the call. If they really had a summons to serve, they would just serve it. When I listened to the message, it sounds recorded or scripted.

I got the same phone call, my husband actually took it, said they were going to file criminal charges against me if I didn't take care of the defaulted loan.

Original caller said this is Inspector Martin with the check fraud precention something or other and that I needed to call attorney david ross to straighten everything out. Had him scared to death, gave him the debit card number and everything..;...until i started checking, had that card deleted from the account now.

Yes, they have gotten me too, leaving two messages on my work cell.  States "This is investigator Martin with Check Fraud....etc. etc......call Atty. David Roth's office....a summons will be issued against you, with dates and times being set without your knowledge.  Gave this 888 number to call back.
I am going to call and ask for a mailing address and check with the Better Business Bureau on this company.  
Will post if I find anything out.

I got a call too. A woman left a vm on my work telephone to call David Ross about a check fraud issue. They would pursue me in court if I did not return the call. Complete scam. Got another one like this about 3 months ago. When I told them I worked for a bank, they never called me back.

I got a call from this # also they swore they was an Atty office (bull [***]) they put me on hold and never came back to the phone.............

I got the same call, i contacted Mr Ross and found out it was about a bad check i wrote. i talked to my bank and they verified it and also said Mr Ross was retained. I did write the check, i just didnt realize it bounced. It wasnt any kind of scam cause i talked to my bank

Okay, I thought this was a scam at first, but I did remember getting a payday loan about a year ago. I called my bank and they verified the same exact date and the amount that Mr. Ross told me. I called him back and arranged to pay the out of court settlement and they sent me a receipt letter with their law firm info on it, as well as proof that the charges were dropped to my house about a week later. This is NOT a scam. If you took out a payday loan and didnt pay it, you have to expect to be held accountable for it sooner or later.

Wow your life must really suck if you're so desperate that you have to shill for this scam! Can't get honest work huh?

Dick,

I am not a shill; I am being responsible for what I did, and letting everyone else know that this company is legit as far as I can tell. I have been scammed before, but not by this particular company.

This investigator called me from an unknown number. Spoke quite and fast and she said I had to call 888-261-2180 and speak to attorney David Ross or face criminal charges for check fraud. I called the number and was told mr ross was in deposition all day and I spoke to attorney mark thompson. He told me that I defaulted on a payment to some payday loan and that they were pressing charges if I didn't pay. I gave him my account info and the payment was going to come out 3-11 and it didn't and then on 3-14 mark thompson called me and said the payment processor had a power outage and to keep the finds available for 72 hours. Today is 3-21 and they still haven't taken the payment and when I call this number it says it cannot accept calls and disconnects me.
