Individual called identified himself as Special Investigator Loomis with the FBI and was trying to get in touch with my brother. Being a retired federal agent myself i learned never to accept...verify. I asked Mr Loomis which field office he was based out of so I could contact them and be patched thru as a matter of verifing he was who he said he was. He hemmed and hawed. I informed him that the number broke back to a Mr. Reginald White. He politely informed me Mr. White was the lead investigator on the case and did i want to talk to him. I said no, just tell me which office you work out of and i will call and if things check out I will give you any information you want. He got really huffy and tried to bully me into submission, and asked what that had to do with me providing the info he wanted. I calmly replied, sir, you are misrepresenting yourself as an investigator with the Federal Bureau Of Investigation, that sir is a violation of federal law. Whereupon he hung up the phone. I immediately contacted my local FBI office and provided them with the information. Mr. Loomis and lead investigator White will be receiving a visit from their local FBI office this evening.

i recived a call today 1/22/08 at my place of business inquiring about my brother.  this man introduced himself as special agent Edward Lumus, he gave me a case number to give to my brother and that there were multiple complaints against my brother leading to imprisonment upto three years.  i was surprised to recieve such a call.  i asked where he found my information and place of employment, he responded "I am a special agent" and hung up.

i appreciate your postings with this crook.  i will definitly follow-up with the officials, if there are any lawsuits count me in.

totally POed and waiting

Ask him his real name!  Edward Lumus is a fake.

That's tremendous. By the way, most likely the call originated from their office in Buffalo, NY and was merely routed through Reginald White's phone number in Georgia.  Here's all the dirt on this company, including their real location: http://www.budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/cmc_recovery.htm

I just find it INCREDULOUS that these Mafia-types are still being ALLOWED to remain in operation. WHY HAVE THEY NOT BEEN SHUT DOWN???

CONSUMER ALERT: January 2008

WARNING: THIS ORGANIZATION IS A CRIMINAL SCAM!  

DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR LIES, THREATS OR INTIMIDATION.

This is a criminal organization, not a law office, and they are ripping off consumers at an amazing pace. NOTHING they threaten will ever happen.  They are NOT INVESTIGATORS or LAWYERS -- They are DEBT COLLECTORS, many with Felony Convictions and Severe Drug Habits.

They are not operating out of Georgia.  They are on the run from the law and a large number of unpaid bills and judgments.

That makes them Dead Beat Debt Collectors!

(We received this email from a former employee; we contacted the offices numerous times to verify the information prior to publication, with no one willing to discuss this matter. CMC and the related organizations did operate at one time out of Stone Mountain, GA. We have information that suggests they left GA after running up tens of thousands of dollars in defaulted judgments. The majority of the judgments resulted from civil claims by consumers who they threatened by violating both federal and state laws. They are now operating out of Buffalo, NY as a criminal debt collection office, posing as phony investigators attempting to bilk consumers out of money that they do NOT legally owe.)

The office is owned by Lamond M. Cooper, aka/Lamont Cooper, Desmond M. Cooper,

(Dob: 07/16/1975 – FBI #870930TA4 – State ID#2033223T)

Jahaan McDuffie and Donte Lee.  All three are convicted felons an ex/current

Drug dealers.They teach their employees to lie to the debtors to get paid

On debt that are out of statute.  They purchase debt with their drug money and add hundreds to thousands of dollars to the debt and have the debtor believe they are entitled to an out of court settlement.

Their caller id shows Atlanta, GA, they are using ‘Phone Spoof’ to fool the debtors.

ALL CALLS GET ROUTED TO THE BUFFALO ADDRESS.

There is no attorney office of Murray, Bradshaw and Associates. This agency is a complete farce.  They gross at least $250,000 per month and its pure profit...everyone in the agency is related somehow so that the scam/scheme and play on.

Warn anyone contacted by them NOT to pay and NEVER give them any information on your bank or credit cards, they will steal your money!

Your tiresome sockpuppetry is a noble effort but ultimately you fail to pass the test, sparky.  You are fooling NO ONE!

Anymore news on these [***]?

My father-in-law recieved a call from investigator Matt Merchant - looking for my brother.  They said they were a federal investigator and they were trying to question my brother.  They asked my FIL questions about the character of my brother, etc.  Said they if they didn't get a hold of him they were going to bust in the house.  Scared my FIL as my kids were with my brother.  They told my FIL they would take his name off the list as people to question but to pass a message along to my brother.  Even made comment as being federal marshalls - how illegal is that?

Anyone here signed up for Lifelock this month?

My wife and and I are seperated and she recieved a call about my brother from Matt Merchant saying he was an investigator from the treasury dept. and was issuing a warrant for my brother's arrest if information wasn't given to him about my brother. M. M. said my brother was guilty of consumer fraud and obtaining credit under fraudulent circumstances and that if she didn't give him the info he needed that she would be charged as a coconspirator. Yeah she called me up pissed since she has no contact with my brother. Glad I found this site so I could smooth her feathers. These people are real pieces of S***.

Got the same message from some lady on my message. It's just a prank they cant do anything if its a credit issue over 7 years has passed. My cousin is a lawyer i made them speack with the lady with all question about the account number court filling number etc and she hung up so just either have fun with them or just ignore them.

On the evening of 30 Jan 2008, my mother received a call from investigator Matt Merchant- he asked for Le____ and my mother informed him that she did not have any info available.  He then told my mother that he would issue a warrant on her and another one of my sibliings.  My mother does not deserve to be harrass like this and this agency called my mother's number over ten times in less then a five hour period.  They are rude and try to enforce illegal tactics to scare the elderly.

My Brother Got A Call From Ms. Scott.  She said that I was being sued in a civil manner. She Stated That The Lawsuit Would Be Filed In The County Were I Live In.  My Brother Lives In Riverside County California And I Live In A Totally Separate State. My Brother Seemed Worried And Asked Me If Someone Was Looking For Me. The Message Must Have Sounded Pretty Official Because He Was Worried And Even Promised Me To Take Care Of It.

I keep recieving phone calls from 404-287-0204, Caller keeps refering to her self as Investagator Clark, The 1st time she told my wife she was looking for another person and there was a case with a docket number.  The second time she called she asked for the same girl, but sais I was given as a reference.  When I asked her as a reference for what, she started to hang up the phone.  She would not give me any information on her, her company or the nature of the call.  I also gooled the number and found numerous websites saying that this is a BIG SCAM.  These people are using old credit reports to try and threaten people to pay them money.  Please file complaints on this number.  The websites have the information if you need them

I have been getting calls from this company three days ago and just today they called my parents house and then call me on a cell phone that I used to call them back. The cell phone wasn't mine so I asked to call me back at my home in 20 mins. They called me back about an hour later and it was on the same cell phone that wasn't mine. I went online to find the company so I googled the number and found all these comments about this company. As I was doing this they called me back and I told them I am going to need more information about the company and to resend the letter they wrote to me. Every time some called back they were using different names. When I told them that my brother works for a police department and wanted me to look up the number and get more info he started to get an attitude and hung up after I wanted them to email me there location and information on the company. I am not going to get fooled and nobody else should either.
I have a family with two kids and getting scared and threatened that you could be in jail for three years wasn't what I wanted. This Credit card dept was as far as 10 years ago. STOP THEM!!

Unbelivable call from person who identified himself as Special Investigator Edward Lomis of IRSI-Claims.  Wasn't even sure of who he was trying to reach.

"Loomis" must have been demoted. In previous calls, "he claimed to be an FBI agent. lol! The utter boobery of these grifters is thoroughly entertaining.

By the way, scroll back in this message thread for information on reporting these crooks to law enforcement.  Good luck.

I just got a call tonight for my Mother who has been deceased for 5 years!  The guy on the phone siad my mother owed $14,000 dollars to a well known credit company, and that I am next of kin, so I was responsible.  I told them to f**ck off and hung up.  I called back in a fury to get the name of the "business" but they wouldn't talk to me till I gave them my case number, and then the b**ch on the other line told me to get a life and hung up on me!
