704-209-7877

They keep calling about a case against me. Leaving threatening messages.

They called me and left a voice mail. Somebody stating that they were a paralegal (Anthony Debrizio or Fabrezio) with Whitney Ross (?) & Associates. Claimed they were garnishing my wages and I was on notice and that the suit was filed with my county (not identified). Gave file number 60169. What's funny is that another individual from NY called me six months ago from a different company and used that exact same file number. My file must get around LOL. Anyway...it's obviously either a scam or this debt collector is using illegal tactics to try to scare me and whomever else into handing over money. They don't identify as trying to collect a debt (which is illegal IAW with FCRA).

The biggest clue of all is their claim of garnishing your wages without a court order. If that doesn't scream scam,  then I don't what does.

Called left a vaguely threatening message without any specifics. Sounds like a fishing type phone scam.

Today is the second time they have called.  It was a person stating they were a paralegal from a law firm.  They had finished their depositions and were going to submit to my county (not specific) and there would be wage garnishments and asset retention recovery, and gave docket number 50883.  Then they throw in "state and federal law requires us to notify you before action is taken".  But they called yesterday and said I had 24 hours, and this message said I had until the end of today.  I will not be calling them back.

now I just got a call from my sister-in-law stating that they left her a message to get information on me.  I have no idea how they even knew we were related or got her cell phone number.

I just got another voicemail from them stating that my case is now being forwarded to Dakota County (they did use the right county that I live in) for further proceedings.  If I have any questions about my case I can call 704-209-7877.  That was all.  I really don't want to call back, but not sure what is going on.

This number called and stated they were from Whitney Rosen and Associates law firm and they were filing a summons for a claim for $644.00 from Cashnet USA. I have attorney's working on my credit and i was told that a debt from this company had never been on my credit report and was not listed on there now. This is a scam and a well organized one though if you Google Whitney Rosen and Associates nothing comes up. Tried to send me a settlement claim to sign that did not list anything about the who  the debt was from with instructions not to share this with anyone of course because it is a scam and if you have a lawyer they would tell you it is a scam. i am going to make copies of it and show my attorney.   .

I also recieved a call from several people, but from 225-238-1237. They claimed that a bond i had signed for 8 or 9 years ago was forfeited. And with me as the main surety, i was responcible for the full ammount of the bond. Well the problem is, the person i signed for had missed court only bc they were re-incarerated. The bondsman surrendered the bond which reliquished me from any liability. If proper forfeiture was done, i would have had the right to an appeal and would have recieved notice. They gave me some B.S as to why this wasnt true blah blah. They call my mother and tell my mother they are going to issue an arresst warrant out for me. They call and say they will be at my residence between 5 and 7 unlesss i contact them back to stop the proceeding blah blah. Some people probably fall for this. I almsot did until i told them i was going to contact our family attorney. Then they were trying to get me to settle so i wouldnt do that. I blocked all of their numbers and had my family do it also.

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

I had a similar call but from 832-241-7077 person used the name David Anderson a paralegal from Whitney Rosen and Asscociates. I have never been to the county in question San Jacinto County in Texas.

Rosen and Associates calling from a different number with same scam ... garnishing wages, court order, pay over phone, giving out personal info to relatives, etc ...

What did your attorney say?

Stated that a loan was taken out and I was sole proprietor and had several things pending against me. Called my mom and told her they were going to garnish my wages and put a lean on any property I had. When I spoke with him it was about a loan that was taken out in 2011. And It was going to be turned over to the courts if I didn't setup a arrangement or pay the settlement  of 300 and something dollars. Definitely a scam or fishing expedition.

The police and my attorney said it was a scam
