716-650-4502

(716) 650-4502 called. She left a message with my name about a case being prepared against me for her client, whom she didn't name. She didn't name her firm, either. She asked that I call her at the same number to seek a voluntary resolution within a few days or there can be legal action. There are scams like this. Or she could simply be a cagey agent for a debt collector or debt purchaser.

Also received a similar message as above. Said her name is Susan Lehman and she is a licensed mediator and and unnamed company wanted to file an unnamed charge against my name and social security number and if I don't call back immediately she is going to file the proper paperwork to file legal action against me. Did not specify what company she was working for

"licensed mediator"  Mediators settle disputes, they don't file charges.  District Attorneys file charges.  Problem is debt is civil not criminal.  So all this piece of trash is doing is trying to scare you into paying.  It is called extortion.

Read up on your rights here and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

I got the same message from Susan Lehman. She's a licensed mediator calling about a case that's being prepared against my name and social security number. She didn't say who she was representing or provide any other sort of information. Probably just another scam debt collector.

Received a call from this nugget art work today. A Susan Wagner claiming to be a legal mediator. Stating there's a case being prepared against my name and social security number for legal action. I hung up on her!  I figured it's a scam but how the heck did they get my info!

Susan called two numbers associated to my name, my mothers and my father in laws. I called and gave cease and desist.

susan- mediator- legal petition being prepared against my name, gave my last 4 ssn digits, "call me immediately"... think i'll call her and play her for a while

Don't get me wrong.... I have a lot of bills in collections and I'm behind on many things.  However Susan Lehman shouldn't have called my daughter and scared her saying that a case would soon be filed against her mom. That seems wrong.

So what happened?

they are calling my job harassing me over something that has already been taken care of!

This same person called my husbands phone number and left a message with my last 4 social security numbers and that legal action is being taken against me did not leave name of company or what it was about sounded angry and mean in message.  I politely called her back and left my cell phone number and told her if she needs to speak to me call my number.  What she doesnt know is that i have a program on my phone that identifies all scammers.

If she calls back, demand she obey the law and MAIL you proof of this alleged debt. Phone calls are not legal methods of debt validation. Nor are emails, texts, or faxes. If she refuses to do so (and she will) you know it's a scam. Just block and ignore the calls.

They called my family members threatening that they will file a legal court case if I do not make arrangements for payments on a account they did not want to give information on.
After conducting a research I found out that pay day loans and title loans are the ones that sell your information to these agreassive collection agencies.

For info - - a debt collector is forbidden to call a family member or friend to state you owe a bill - - if it's that - - file a complaint with your State's Attorney General.

Called and left a message for a friend that he was being mediated against.  I called back the number and she states (her voicemail) she is with Oracle Financial Group.  That is a debt collection agency out of NY - she is using fraudulent means to contact collectees.   This is their website:  http://www.oraclegroupllc.com/.  If they are not contacting the debtor directly they are violating the debt collection practices act in releasing information to other than the debtor.   She is not a member of law enforcement nor does she hold a NY State mediators license - in other words she is using unsavory and nefarious ways to collect a debt - all violations of the Debt Collection Practices act.

Aleshia - you simply have to tell them not to call you at work - - it's a violation of the debt collection practices act to do so anyway - - especially if they are notified to stop.  If that doesn't work - send them a letter and keep a copy and file a complaint with the NY State Attorney General.

"Susan Lehman" "mediator" just called me and left a message stating a petition was in her office under my name and social security number. I called her back, and she wanted my entire social security number and my date of birth, both of which I refused to give. I wanted to know what this about, and she couldn't tell me until I gave out the info she wanted.  I said I'm not giving you that info over the phone. She then stated to me "I don't care if you go to court or not". Then hung up.

In Buffalo, "mediator" is a pet name for "Crook" and "Swindler".  A Petition sure sounds scary, doesn't it?  Ignore this debt scammer and block the number.  Since you called them back, they will probably keep calling to harass you, to try and shake some money out of you.  Hang Tough!
