716-201-4937

Got a message saying my name and social are involved in internet fraudulent activity...never said my name and wanted me to call..... I think its a scam

I received a call from this number using my name and part of my social security number. The purpose of the call seemed to be intimidation and to make me think I am associated with some court case. I have no knowledge of this case GMM3966 and refuse to be intimidated.

Evan Scott- probably an alias...called my mother-in-law looking for my ex-husband. I called the number back and chewed the guy out for calling her as she doesn't even know him. He said they have lawyers in the office and an ex-police officer and they can do whatever they want.
The message said it was for a bad check, but when I called, he said it was identity theft. He didn't intimidate me, we had a good argument. The guy is a jerk. He knew he didn't scare me.

Called me today about something from 2008. Said that it was a bad check. Fees are 1300 and they will settle for 375.00 they won't send me documents

Called my ex mother in laws house with allegations that I am being accused of check fraud.  The man said his name was Nick Johnson.. Also gave an extension: 7318

A realative of my recieved a telephone call and accused this person of helping and bedding me in some sort of illegal way. The phone number was 701-201-4937 Case No # 7600571

Please investigate this imediately!

I got a message similar, It's obviously a collection agency.  Good news is that its not a scam, they appear to be registered with the new york dept. of state business entity database.  This is not at all uncommon, its called skiptracing they normally will call family looking for people regarding debts.  I used to be a collector, so i know how it works.  Nothing to worry about, probably an old bill. [***] em'

Someone from that number told they were a cop from NY calling regarding a criminal investigation.  Isn't impersonating a cop a crime?

I received a call from this number 716-201-4937 and let it go to voice mail because I did not recognize the number.  When I checked the message, it was supposedly from Gravano, Mattery, and Maynard, or something close to that name.  The caller did not give his name, but said that I was given as a reference to find someone (I will not give the name they were looking for) concerning "his social and date of birth" and he needed to talk to this person or his attorney as soon as possible.  The person he was looking for stayed with me in foster care twenty years ago...I am not responsible for his debts or actions and I do not get paid by Gravano, Mattery, and Maynard to find people, so I do not plan to worry about it.  I figure if they can find my number, they ought to be able to find the one they are looking for.  Is there any action that can be taken to stop this type of call?

My family members are receiving calls from this number making false allegations and divulging private information - they are in direct violation.

Called me twice, 1st he said my court date is the16th of sept. Then got another call from another guy and my court date was the 23rd.

Really make up your mind, I have never did a thing and don't know who you people are, but have reported you to NY Police. All I can say is GOOD LUCK WHOEVER YOU ARE!!!!

So they called my wife today and got her all in a panic telling her that I had warrants out for my arrest for check fraud, theft of services and a whole slew of other charges. I looked them up, they are an LLC in the state of New York, but they are a NOT a PLLC (which most multi-person law firms are). There is no attorney in the State of NY name Gravano. There is no attorney in the state of NY named Mattrey, and there is no attorney in the State of NY named Mayner either. Big suprise. I also contacted the Eire County clerk of the court and utilized the online case lookup tool, there are no court cases bearing my name in that County. If they are harassing you, threatening you, or divulging private information (such as amount due, allegations of charges, etc) to anyone other than the person(s) named on the debt then they are violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and they can be reported to the NY State Attorney General.

So I called back and spoke to a "Jim Hartland". He tried to "verify" my idenity telling me what the last four of my SSN are. (That's a direct violation of Federal Fair Debt Collection Act practices and a number of other identity protection laws). They didn't seem to understand the fact that they weren't actually verifying my identity. He said that he wasn't going to argue with me and transferred me to the investigator (Adam Scott) who also did not verify my identity and told me that I had charges pending and that a warrant was issued for my arrest. I asked him the name of the attorney handling my case.  Then he gave me the name of an attorney (Daniel Glasier) that is not registered in NY or AZ. They gave me a case number (GMM5287) that does not exist in either court system. When I asked him which court this would be going through (because all Warrants are issued by a judge and therefore would go through a court) he said "the one where you live"....which is ridiculous because his "in-house" attorney, even if he was registered to practice in NY would have a hard time filing papers in AZ because he's not licensed here. When I asked him which Statutes these alleged charges stemmed from he had no idea. He was trying to pressure me into settling now. I told him that I was going to consult with my bankruptcy attorney and he told me that "this is not a matter that can be cleared up through bankruptcy". I told him that I understood that he needed to tell me that, but that I was still going to verify that independently before proceeding. At which point he told me "do what you need to do" and hung up.

We have been getting these calls since 8-18-11 they say that they want money for a check we wrote and that we are suppose to tell pepole we called them that they didnt call us. Then they wanted a debit card#.  Then they said if we didnt pay them for the check they was going to arrest me or my stepdaughter. she had nothing to do with it. Her name isnt even on my old checks that my wife and i had when we had a checking account. We had 4 calls today from them and the number is 716-201-4937. They told us if we dont have the money on the debit card by 9-15-11 they would start the arrest warrent again and have me arrested they want 451.00. Thank You So much.. Todd Pospicha

Got a voicemail from a Joseph Koslowski claiming to be from 'Upstate and Associates' concerning Eric Lee Johnson and that myslef and "Mr. Watson" (who?????) were both being contacted to get a statement as the case is leaving their firm. Case #5214-CA10-11.  This is a bogus sales call.  He said this message is for "Lyndsey" which is not even my name. It is the name I say on my outgoing voicemail. I screen spammers that way. If they are asking for the ficticious Lyndsey - then I know its not real!!!

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE ON HERE SAYING ITS A SCAM YOUR WRONG I FELT THE SAME WAY UNTIL THEY GAVE ME PROOPER DOCUMENTATIONAND ALSO THERE WEBSITE   GRAVANOMM.COM... CONCLUSION= NOT SO FAKE! VERY MUCH REAL....

Called me on my job harassing and intimidation regarding and insufficient charge.  Mentioned my tag info on my car, first 3 digits of my social security.  Kept calling me on my job back to back, one from someone saying he was with an attorney's office (gravan-mattery and mayner0 and the other as if he was a police officer in my county about my car.  Called me at least 3-4 times back to back at work and then again on my cell phone.   I know this is not a professional or legitmate way to handle any business matter.
Later I found out they sent a letter to one of my family members with the same practice.

I just received a call from John Washington saying he was concluding an investigation on me- he had the correct last 4 of my SSN- after reading these comments- I will not be calling back- they will send documents if they want to communicate with me. After learning this number is a cell phone- I really am not going to call them.

A collection service may not impersonate a police officer nor threaten someone with arrest unless they have the authority to do so. If they are contacting family or friends who have not signed for or share a debt with you, the family or friend must send them a request in writing to have them removed from their calling/mailing list. If you are on the federal do not call list and you do not owe this debt, complaints should be filed with the FTC.  If you are being harrassed you should make a police report and call your phone service to ask them to block the number.  The best thing to do is to hang up, dont interact, do not give them account information or SSN. If they are a valid collection agency you have the right for proof of the debt.  Keep track of the calls made and when, try to get an address and file a complaint with your State Attorney General.  The website looks like a child created it.

Lying SHILL !!
