240-764-4264

I received a call from Investigator Daniel Hoffman - phone number 240/764-4264 stating that he had a warrant out for my arrest in Maryland and one will be issued in my state as well.  When I called the number back no one
answered but there is a recording for me to leave my name, phone number and warrant number.  I looked on the internet and found out that other people were getting the same calls from the same number.  This should be looked into and reported to the authorities.

I got the call yesterday from a Miss Banks teeling me to call 240-764-4264.  She even  listed a case number.  When I call that number a recording told me there was a warrant out for my arrest and would be in my state soon.  I am so glad I googled the number.  My caller ID said the Miss Banks number is 240-696-1772

Miss Banks said there was a civil complaint against me and I needed to call 240-764-4264 or have my attorney call

DO NOT RESPOND OR RELEASE ANY INFO TO THIS CRIMINAL SCAM OPERATION!!  I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THESE IDIOTS SINCE MID JULY AND HAVE OBTAINED 6 DIFFERENT RECORDINGS OF NUMEROUS FAIR DEBT COLLECTION LAW VIOLATIONS TO TURN INTO AUTHORITIES.  THE LATEST CALL IS AS FOLLOWS:

8/13/08, 11:58 AM—a call was left on my answering machine from a male caller identifying himself as Officer Daniel Hoffman with the Warrants Unit.  He stated that he needed me to contact him regarding the felony charges filed against me by the Attorney Network and that I was facing charges in the state of MD and also in TX.  He went on to explain that he did not know if I was aware of the Texas Penal Code but that he would be faxing the paperwork down to my District Attorney requesting a warrant be issued for my arrest at (gave my residential address).  The caller then gave this long spill about providing them a $1000 check requirement to cover the debt and if it was not good they would be authorized to deduct a $500 fee over a 4-5 month period.  The caller then went on to say that I owed this creditor money (but did not identify the creditor) and they have a legal right to this money.  The caller then stated that ????? Law Firm was a collection agency and the caller’s company had done a thorough investigation on these people and basically ???? Law Firm would not come and bail me out so I would be the person facing the consequences.  He went on to add that I was not only facing charges in TX for doing bad checks across state lines, but also in MD.  He then threatened even if I did post bail and pay all the fines, I would not be released and would be extradited to MD to face those charges.  He then went on to offer that if I wanted to have the charges dropped, contact him at 240-764-4264.  If I did not return a call to him, he would assume that I was evading a debt payment and he would pass the paperwork down to the District Attorney.  He then stated that I needed to return a call to him because he was obligated to inform local officers if there were any weapons, vicious animals or minors present on the premises at the time the warrant is issued.

I ALLOW THESE IDIOTS TO RECORD THEIR CRAP ON MY ANSWERING MACHINE AND THEN FORWARD IT TO MY ATTORNEY.  I HAVE FILED PAPERWORK WITH THE FBI, FTC AND ATTORNEY GENERALS' OFFICES IN OH, MD AND TX AND URGE ANYONE ELSE RECEIVING HARRASSING THREATS TO DO THE SAME.

It's scam, and all their threats are false and illegal.  They go by various names such as MoreStar Consultancy, LLC; Litigation Consulting Service, LLC; Claims & Warrants; and North American Asset Investigation Bureau, LLC (NAAIB). For details, read consumer credit advocate Bud Hibbs' report on these scammers: http://budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/NAAIB.htm

One thing it remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest or criminal charges, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) have the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) These type of crooks also routinely impersonate FBI agents, police and other law enforcement officials, which, obviously, is illegal as well. (Besides, law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection, and debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)

The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money. Anyone targeted by these crooks should ignore their illegal threats, and report their attempts to extort money from you to all these federal and state law enforcement agencies:

1) The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for protecting the country's financial infrastructure and payment systems from international and domestic threats. Call or write your local Secret Service field office to alert them to the details of this attempted extortion. The addresses and phone numbers for the local Secret Service field offices are listed at http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml or in your phone book.

2) Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov  Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by extortionists over the phone and give them all the details.

3) Maryland Attorney General  http://www.oag.state.md.us/Consumer/complaint.htm  (Litigation Consulting claims to be in Maryland)

4) Your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.naag.org

5) File a complaint with your local police. Most police departments will take a report over the phone.  Be sure to tell them that you're being targeted by an extortionist and give them all the details.

6) File a complaint with  the Federal Trade Commission  https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01

If these criminals call back, tell them that they aren't getting any money from you and that you've reported their scam to federal and state law enforcement. They will react with the usual moronic, false threats.  If possible, try to save any voice messages they leave and, if legal in your state, record their calls if you speak with them. (Inexpensive phone recorders are available at Radio Shack-type stores.)

Hope this helps.

got a call from 240-764-4264 saying she was an investigator, and for me to have my lawyer call them about a civil suit that was being brought up against me.  The lady didnt even know my name!

Caller was rude called me a liar, because I could not tell him how to find someone. Used profanity towards me. I called the number back to find out who it was and he called me ignorant and told me I needed to get an education.

Try not to let these scammers upset you...they're just crooks trying to scare you into letting them steal your money.  Their threats are false and illegal. (Actually, their use of abusive language is illegal, too.)  

Report them to federal an state law enforcement...which you can easily do online. See my message above from August 19 for more details.

You must be a part of this scam if you think people are trying to run away from debt. Some of us really don't have debt and are receiving these phone calls. My grandparents have been dead for 2 years now and alllllllll of their debts were paid. Why are we getting phone calls about a debt that is 24 years old and the amount is $132. Now if they hadn't been so rude when they called, they actually may have gotten a payment because someone thought maybe they missed a bill. So stop crying before you go voicing your stupid opinion you should check out what's being said. I also work for a legit collection agency and we are not taught these types of tactics. If this is the type of business you are running then you won't be in business for long. Regardless of how much debt you owe no one has the right to talk to you any kind of way. Rights are not to be violated in the process of collecting. And life is great and you try to have a blessed day

Frank - this is sooooo not true, this company is not ligit and you are a part of this scam.

Daniel Hoffman called me today.  He said my name was on a docket in Maryland involving one of my in-laws.  The amount of information "Daniel" had about me and my extended family, on my side and my husband's, is very disturbing.

Thanks to this website, I called the FBI and my local police.  I am also planning to contact the Maryland DA's office.

I don't remember him actually saying he was with any police department, but he was certainly giving that impression.

I received a call from this guy Daniel (didn't get a last name) who left a message about some civil lawsuit or what not. I called back to see what this was all about, what do you know! Basically a collection agency/attorney, trying to spook people. The guy was very rude from the moment he answered the phone. I basically told do what ever you have to. He also mentioned he was with the Maryland Police Dept, Officer Daniel.

Thank God for the internet!  It is a Scam, please block this number! My Mother was extremely upset, until we found out the truth!

We are having a problem w/ these people also!! They are threating to put my husband in prison for 6 yrs. because we would not let them draft $120.00 out of or checking account. They could not give us any information...lawyers names, e-mail, address, SO I REFUSED to give anything. NOW they have "someone" by the name of Officer Daniel Hoffman claiming that my husband was going to prison for not agreeing to the payment arangements....CAN SOMEONE NOT STOP THESE SCAMMERS!!!

You gotta be the only 1!!!

I received a call from a Kristin Waters informing me that there was a civil suit against me in Nassau County, NY and I need to respond within 24 hours. I called 240-764-4264 and spoke with Investigator Daniel Hoffman who informed me that there was a warrant out for my arrest for not paying an outstanding credit card bill in the amount of $ 4,416.17. He then made me an offer to satisfy this debt for a lesser amount. I told him I was not interested and ended the phone call. When I arrived home the same night there was another message from Investigator Daniel Hoffman telling me it was rude that I hung up on him, I was a real DEADBEAT and the Nassau County Sheriff will be issuing me a warrant within the next 72 hours. This is the second time within 4 years that some company/agency is trying to collect $ 4,416.17. Please follow the instructions to report this scam.
