309-889-0790

Received a call with an automated message says I am needed to call this number to give a statement to include with a file being sent back to a supposed client. Upon looking up the number there are multiple reports elsewhere mentioning "Division of Processing" with claims of debt owed to payday loans, online loaners or other creditors.

Number Info: Aprx. Owner Age is 34. - Carrier of SPRINT SPECTRUM L.P.. - Location in Peoria, IL. - Number Type is mobile.
An automated message from a cell phone number? I'd say this call was using a spoofed number and the one with whom the number belongs is unaware of a scam/debt scavenger using the number. Not positive. Just a guess.

The report from the link above
"...a company called "Division of processing" claiming I owe on a unpaid payday loan. Refused to send me a validation of debt letter, ignored their calls. Now this number is calling, saying I need to give a statement so it can be included in the file when they send it back to the client. Claims they are from loss prevention, but when you call the recording says, Division Of Processing..."

Another scam collector. Slimeballs.

Reporting number to my state's attorney general and the ftc. Good luck pal.

Scratch that.. The automated message left this number, so the number to call IS a cell phone from based out of Peoria, IL.
Must be using a mobile office? Hahahaha! Stupid criminal.

I assume you were called today, which is the weekend. How many legit companies does anyone know of that calls during the weekend? And it's a cell phone number to boot? That lights up SCAM in bright neon letters.

would you ever get a call from a lawyer or business that leaves a message without the name of the office or business. They would certainly leave a contact name.

Automated message. No name left. No information besides this number to call. Same as above. I have no debt. I am sick of the calls. I am reporting them.

I'm the one that filed the report, here's the whole story in a nutshell. First got the call in January from a number that comes out of Wisconsin, 920-455-5004, they asked me to call back what I believe is or was a VOIP number of 708-843-8044,  They cliamed that this is a loan from a company called St. Armands, and from what I've read and can see, it is a scam payday loan comapny, I asked for a VOD letter and was sent what I call a cookie cutter E-Mail, vauge enough on the details of the debt, but with just enough legal speak to make you think it was real. I called back and demanded a VOD letter and started to ignore their phone calls, they called me twice and each time claimed that they were calling from the County Clearks office and they have been retained to serve me. A few weeks after the last call I started to get calls from the 309 number, and this is teh message that's left, "The review of my file is being conducted by one of our lost litigation specialists, and a recommendation of action to the client is imminent. In order for my personal statement to be included in the review press one now to speak to the representative in charge of conducting the review. Call us at 309-889-0790, failure to respond will result in a recommendation to our client without your personal statement being included."  I contacted a law firm that deals with this, and even they think this is a scam.  I have conatcted the FCC, FTC and IC3.  But so far nothing has been done.

St. Armands is indeed a fake web site set up to gather people's information.  There are numerous other threads here with complaints about them and their tactics. There is no information on who or where they are on their web site.  Most likely they are overseas criminals.  This is what your attorney should have told you:
It is incumbent upon them to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it.  Not the other way around.
This is a common ploy by criminals attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, etc. all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.
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

I contacted my lawyer, not mine but the lawyer for the company that I work for, he told me that this isn't his area of expertise.  But gave me the number of a law firm he said that could help me, I contacted them and gave them all the info including the E-Mail and posted a link to 800notes.  I got a response  a few days later saying that they were turning down my case, "After a careful analysis of your claim, we have decided that we must turn down your case.  We have not based this decision solely on the strength of your claim, but rather on our firm’s ability to assist you."  But they do feel this is a scam and I should call the FTC, FCC and file a report with the Attorney General, all of which I have done already.

St. Armands.. Another which is under the belt of the notorious Bahamas Marketing Group or BMG as they are referred to by the scam collectors themselves.

Remember, when criminals such as these call, make sure they know that you are aware of your rights:
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 of the date of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

You are most welcome, Wolfman. The name of the site is a tad deceiving, but that's a good thing as IT IS a reporting site. Though it appears the admin of "online-payday-loans.org" doesn't update it's consumer reporting information as often as it once did a short while ago, they have some very useful information. Many of the reports on there are much like 800notes, but strictly entered by the admin. Between here, with some of your info and there allowed me to connect the dots or trace the tree of the sad tale that is Bahamas Marketing Group and those they use regarding questionable and flat out criminal collections tactics. Glad I could add to your plethora of educational information.

This is the computer voice message we had on our answering machine on Sunday 3/1, Tuesday 3/3, Wednesday 3/4 and Thursday 3/5. "File 1551343 which was posted with the division of processing which has escalated to our final review department due to lack of response from the required respondent. A review of this file is being conducted by lost litigation specialists and a recommendation of action to our client is eminent. In order for your personal statement to be included in this review press 1 to speak with to the representative responsible for conducting your review or call us at309-889-0790 immediately upon receipt of this message. Failure to respond will result in a recommendation being submitted to our client without your personal statement being included."
The call came from the number left. I read the posts here. Now I think if I pressed 1 the computer voice would shut off and the jerk would answer the mobile phone he is using.
Going to do what everyone did and report them. Starting with my sheriff.

That's pretty much for verbatim the message I got. I did call them back one morning when I knew no one would be there, message thanked me for calling "The Division of Processing, if you know your parties extension enter it now. If you've been served, please hold for the next available agent." My thinking is that message is there to make people think that they could be, or other people have been served. I haven't heard from them in a few days, so I think they have moved on. Hopefully they don't start calling family.

They didn't mention calling for anyone specific. No name. Automated message. Them calling on a Sunday afternoon was fairly questionable. What law firm or agency works on a Sunday. None that I have ever heard of. Maybe the scam was getting a head start.

They ate calling me after trying other ways to collect a payday loan that I don't recall. Now they haven't sent any letter. Just harassing with intimidating calls. And now this?

What other ways were they trying to collect?  My advice, file complaints with the proper authorities, and just keep ignoring the phone calls.  I haven't head from them in almost three weeks, so riding it out might be the best bet, if they get too out of hand, you can always take my friends advice.

To File complaints FDCPA/TCPA violations:
Your State Attorney General
Their State Attorney general

Some Tips:
*Keep all messages

*Keep a notebook handy for writing time,date, who you spoke with and what the conversation detailed.

I just got a call from these people ..... I have no idea what they are even talking about

It's a scam, not sure what message you got. But I've been receiving these messages for about a month, and they haven't done anything. So report them, then block and ignore the calls.
