I received a call regarding "an urgent financial matter"

As it turned out it was a collection call for someone with a similar name.
Caller ID: Reston, VA
Caller Type: Collection Agency

I received a call from a lady regarding civil allegations,threating me lawsuit...her name is widman!as it turned out it is a collection agency.I never receiced any paper from this agency,so i don't know what are they talking about-Do I have any right?

I work for a litgitimate collection agency. The agency making these calls are crooks that call themselves Litigation Consulting Services.  They 'work' stolen accounts and break the law in to many ways to count. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY OR INFORMATION!!!!  My company currently has the FBI after them due to them working accounts that belong to us.

Collector called-would not tell me the name of his company-said I owed a debt that I do not owe-from a group I had never heard of-very rude-I had my attorney call them-they would not give any info or even a fax number so the attorneyu could fax them a letter-BEWARE

i received a call from that number;a woman told me that her company is filling an affidavit to summon me.then she threatened me with felony complain,reposation,warrant,etc.if i don't call her.

Got a call from this man today saying that I owed some money and that I was summons to be in court. He did minor threats and said I need to call them back ASAP. Come to find out that they were a Collection Agency!

this place is legitimate, they saved me $15,000 off my orig bal to settle out of court and then provided me with all the coorespondence i needed to prove that my bill was settled and i was no longer obligated to discover card services. not only that but i was able to verify that there was in fact a claim filed in my home county and i was able to save money on an attorney too by settling my acct out of court.  to all the people that are angry,all i have to say is pay your bills, you know you owe the money, no point in running or making up some excuse for not being able to take care of your financial responsibilities.  you know it belongs to you, so be an adult and take care of it you may actually be able to only pay pennies on the dollar.

gee frank

no im serious, they really saved me a lot of money, and saved me from having a judgement placed against me.

Brad,

   Please call me upon receipt of this message. I am also a legitimate debt buyer, and I have a very serious situation concerning these scum bags. I would like to take a moment of your time to see what recourse is being taken and if you have any information to help me, these people are working accounts that are mine (100% lock stock and barrel)as well. 877 707 4728.
Thank you, I look forward to speaking with you.

My Grandpa got a call at 8:30pm. telling him that if I didn't call these people back within 24hrs. I was going to have a warrent out for my arrest for theft and forgery.  He immediately called me and I called theses people back.  They told me that I had an account in 2005 that went $4000.00 delinquent and if I did not send them the money to Buffalo New york  immediately I was going to jail.  I ofcourse got histarical.  I have never been in trouble a day of my life and I am a 22 year old single mother of a 3 year old little girl.  Where was I suposed to get that kind of money?  I called my father as soon as I hung up with the man who called himself "Robert", and he told me to go to the bank that I had the account with.  So first thing the next morning I went to the bank and much to my suprise the Vice President of the bank told me that I DO NOT owe them any money and there is no reason that these people should be calling me, and the account number that they gave me saying that I owe on does not exsist.  The scariest part is that they have my social security number.  When she in turn tried to call them they hung up on her as soon as they foud out that she was the vice president of the company.  I was very relieved that I did not owe these people any money but still very discouraged at the fact that they have all of my information and God only knows what they are going to do with it.  As soon as I got home I called the Buffalo Police department and they informed me that the attorney's that they were telling me to send this money to do not exsist and the address is an address that is in the projects.  These people are crooks and I am very glad that I looked into it before I sent them any money, but I only wonder how many people they have actually coned.  These people are sitting at home doing nothing and banking off of our hard earned money.

They called us too and left a message which we knew was bogus since we have never been to Buffalo in our lives.  We are not calling them back - this is the second scam like this we've received.  Glad there are sites like this to make it easy to see that they are bogus and can call them on it.

A so called ALICE DUFOR called today and left a message about a civil lawsuit against my uncle, saying he needs to call her back within 24-48 hours. After talking to my uncle about it, and further investigation it turned out to be a scam. please do your research before paying any attention to random messages on your phones. It's not enought that people have everyday worries to take care of, they have to also deal with [***] heads like Alice Dufor....you want to make money...get a job like the rest of us and stop stealing hard earned money....

Okay I take care of this elderly lady and she got a phone call the other day swearing up and down that she owed money to a bank out of buffalo new york and if she didnt pay the money she was going to go to jail. Well in a frantic she gave me 25 dollars and enough to send it money gram. Now this was her last LAST few dollars she had! We didnt think about it at first that it could be a scam. So the more i got to thinking about it I started to talk to her about maybe it being a scam and that I was going to look it up on the internet for her. Now I feel so bad that she paid that money to them. She was crying over having to give up her last 25 dollars! GET A JOB YOU FREAKS! i cant believe you would take from innocent people!

I have a credit rating over 800 and DO pay my bills, you moron.  The people on this site - including me - are getting called about debts they DO NOT owe.  If they saved you money, then bully for you.  That doesn't change the fact that they threaten and intimidate innocent people on the phone.

And if you can feel good about settling debts you owe for "pennies on the dollar" then you're the real scum bag.  Pay what you owe . . . and take an English class so your next post will look like someone with half a brain wrote it.

Caller said that there was a "civil complaint" against me and that they had sent me a certified letter.  Ms. Candis Carter said that the letter had been returned.  I never received any notice of a certified letter.  She also threatened me with a lawsuit.  I told her that those kinds of lawsuits are not available in Texas.  She stuttered and said, "let me look that up."  I told her not to call anymore.  I promptly looked up the number on the internet and found this site.

Left message about civil issue regarding lawsuit.  Called back and just got their voice message.  They called me at a late time in the day for
legitmate business call.  I will ignore this call if they call me back.
Thanks for the information on this website

Special Investigator Daniel Hoffman called our home phone yesterday with the same litany of "civil action" etc. for someone we don't know.  I've been playing phone tag with him, and have called the FBI, FTC, Oregon Attorney General, Montgomery County Maryland PD's Fraud Unit, our local PD Fraud unit, the carrier (Level3) that their phone numbers are registered to, and found tons of information online about this collection of scam artists.  I've made it a point today to call and harass this group of individuals for their mistake of targeting my family for something that doesn't exist.

A collection agency using threats of "kicking doors in", warrants, lawsuits etc., not to mention using such professional phrases as "F_ _ _ you".

I have attorneys involved, 1 police dept., 1 sheriff's dept., and district attorneys from 2 counties in California involved in investigating this company.

Folks, if you get a call from this number, please alert the MD Attorney General's office and the national Do Not Call registry -- I actually called the police as well as these other two numbers -- after I called them back to inform them that I was requesting them to cease calling my number, one Daniel Hoffman left a message using the vilest language and threats -- he's apparently unconcerned about making threats that are recorded on voicemail. This tells me he's used to getting away with this kind of crap. Thanks to those of you who have alerted the authorities, and I encourage others to do the same. The thing is -- even if you do have outstanding accounts (and they must just call people randomly -- I'm obsessive about requesting credit reports four times a year and have a spotless record) they are not allowed to practice business in this way. If you do have outstanding debts you still have a right to report this kind of behavior -- threats of arrest or warrants or civil suits are illegal, predatory business practices.
