225-334-8330

Received a call from a Helen Ward from UCRB (who ever that is – Google returns nothing) saying that since I failed to respond with Form R16 it would be filed with my human resource department tomorrow.  …leaving one with the feeling that some action is being taken against their wages.  Since I have no HR department and owe nobody it screams scam – but to what avail I don’t know!  If you have an answer I’d love to know.

I had the same call and message as above.

Same, got this call at 12:39 ET on 2/26/2014. Definitely have no HR department, UCRB doesn't exist, form R16 doesn't appear to exist in any context related to HR. DEFINITELY a scam.  Looks like they have used several names and numbers https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-716-558-1298 

I received this same message today, March 5, 2014.  The phone number on caller ID said 980-224-4729 but "Helen Ward" said to call her back at 225-334-8330.

yep yep yep.. keep getting calls for my husband for the same thing threatning a lawsuit.. over something that was paid years ago... starting to piss me off calling from all sorts of numbers all over the country but always to call back at 225/334/8330... and yes message from helen ward... BLAH

Received a phone call from them this morning (3-6-14 10:30PST), got the same message as above, and the  caller ID shown  980-224-4729, but the lady who claimed to be "Helen Ward", said to call her back at 225-334-8330.

Received call from Helen Ward (UCRB)? phone # 225-334-8330

attorney general checked and said they are not a licensed debt collection company.  they now leave different numbers. 855-332-4045. Ben, Trisha, Jane, etc.  I work for an identity theft protection company.  UCRB are scammers, and or id theft.  they are messing with the wrong person.  Complaints are being filed with every fed agency relative and law enforcement investigation plus attorney.  They morph.  office in new york and ran an ad to recruit collectors.  They say they collect for pay day loans, store retail credit card debt.  they also leave area 210 numbers. San Antonio area code.  fraud alert credit bureaus and file FTC, BBB, ATTORNEY GENERAL, ETC.  type in report phone crime and call all agencies.  call police, courts,  stopfraud.gov

Got a call from Noah Dombrowski calling from the cook county arbitrator's office collecting for payday loans. Said he doesn't have the information and said he'd offer to settle. I told him to send me something in the mail and I'll contact him back to settle. He offered to email me instead and that's how I got his info.

Well if you have his info, would you please post it here so that we can check this out.  The Cook County anybody does not collect on any loans for private companies.  No government agency does.  It was illegal for them to represent themselves as government agents, but that seems to be the MO of these cretins.  E mail is not a valid form of sending the validation letter.
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
List of State AG’s offices:  http://consumerfraudreporting.org/stateattorneygenerallist.php

His email is ndombrowski@ucrb.us
Number is 855-281-8096
Company names he mentioned are
Triple Services LLC
SGQ Processing
Bahama Marketing Group

Gotta' love BMG / Bahamas Marketing Group. Plenty of go rounds with their associated scam collection associates.
It appears that once the first scam collection firm hits a brick wall after being informed of the facts they shuffle your information down the line to another collector who shares BMG's attitude and fine selective hearing.
The following list has been gathered over the years.

Associated companies who attempt to collect for Bahamas Marketing Group or BMG..
Vandelier: (creditor)
Huska Hawk: (creditor)
DJR Group: (creditor and collector)
Hydra: (creditor mentioned as bought out by DJR Group)
Western Legal: (collector)
Kirkland Asset Management: (collector)
Statewide Mediations Services "SMS": (collector)
Statewide Legal Services: (collector)
International Courier Services: (Scare Tactic "Legal Server" for "Hewitt" collector)
Hewitt: (collector)
Spectra: (associated with Western legal collecting for SSM Group LLC)
Allegiance (collector)
SSM Group LLC: (mentioned as a creditor and collector) *I believe this firm is part of the "Statewide" clan.
Legal Prevention Services: (collector)

Famous for disregards to the US Bankruptcy laws. "This debt does not fall under any US bankruptcy laws."
The aforementioned callers for the very same debt are the same folks who leave messages of..
"Scheduling delivery of legal documents"
"This is your final warning before we press charges"
"The process server is in route"'
"The process server is just minutes away"
"Did you know you missed your court appearance? Call this number and I'll call you back in 20 minutes"
"I'm at the sheriff's office and we are in route to your place of work to place you under arrest"
Also known for..
-Calling relatives, place of employment and telling who ever may answer, who they are calling for, charges being filed and serving.
-Refusing to send a postmarked letter through the mail and only offering email.
-Asking for full social security number and birth date to verify it is you they are speaking with.
-Refusing to give you their mailing address and company information.
-Refusing to give you the original lender's company name and information.
-Giving invalid dates of when a supposed loan was deposited.

ALL of these tactics are traits of unlawful collections.
Don't sweat the scare tactics or let them stress you out.

Be sure to click and investigate the links Wolfman provided.
When you click the "online-pay-day-loans.org" links and read the associated firms on each page along with the reports listed further down on the page you will see how deep their rabbit hole goes.

DO NOT LET THEIR ILLEGAL SCARE TACTICS STRESS YOU OUT!

Thank you for posting this!!!! Experienced all of the below!!!

You are welcome, Camille. Bahamas marketing Group and the collections firms they have under their belt or they hire to collect have an apparent disregards towards the laws set forth by the US government.
Should you speak with them rather than let the answering machine take it, DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION. If they ask for personal information such as your full or partial social, date of birth, address, any of that, DO NOT GIVE ANY OF YOUR INFO UP. They called you! Sometimes, for scare tactic purposes, they will blurt out the last 4 digits of your social in an attempt to prove they are legit. Don't fall for this tactic. There are many, many, many reports all over the internet and this site especially where these tactics have been challenged by the consumer they are harassing. The consumer asks, "Okay, but what's my first 5 digits of my social?" and most times they come back with wrong numbers. Even if they have the entire social it is not your responsibility to verify it is your social.
9 times out of 10, if their scam doesn't work on you they will mark every piece of info they have gathered through this string of calls and pass it along to the next scam collector. That is phishing.
Report them to your state's Attorney General and the FTC. Should they call again and you answer inform them you have reported them.
