8002901065

I just got a call today early saying it's mr Evans that I need to call or my attorney representing me to resolve this matter, the # that called me was +1 (786) 837-5193 but I see he said to call him at the # you are all saying 8002901065 so I know it's a scam! I haven't taken out a pay day loan in years (2010) and I paid it off twice! So I know it's bout that or something bogus I'm not calling them and will report them ASAP! Anyone else gets calls local for these dorks and it's the 800 they say to call???

I get these people every Monday for the past 2 months. If they are going to do something, they need to go ahead and do it. I have been unemployed for almost a year now and they still aren't going to get anything from me. I will just pay the company directly instead of using a 3rd party.

You pay the scammers you work for them( LOCK LIZARD'S) Dummies

This number called me looking for my Son and stated that if he did not get in touch with them by 5 p.m., there would be a warrant out for his arrest in regards to check fraud. They told me a few personal things about his "criminal" background and then stated his so called "Boss's" name. They also stated that they tried "serving" him papers but he ran from them.

Complete scam.  The first tip-off is them releasing private information to someone other than the alleged debtor.  If your son had committed check fraud, he'd have been contacted by either his bank (to put the situation right) or if the bank wanted to prosecute, the police would have come to talk to/pick up your son.  More good info on this scam below:

Per Tamianth:

One important thing to remember if these losers have any of your personal information such as your social security number, date of birth or drivers license make sure you register with identity protection notify the credit agencies as well as your banks!!

I didn't get to finish my story...continued from above story... SOOOO... I call this number back several times to get to the bottom of this and each time I get a different person. This last one was a "compliance" officer, lol... I asked him a bunch of questions and said a few not so nice things and informed him that I am reporting them to FCC and then he tells me he will listen to all conversations had today and get to the bottom of this and take care of whomever it was that called me or I spoke to and not to worry, my Son is not going to be arrested. I went "Chicago" on him, lol, and now I am doing whatever I have to to stop this kind of harassment. TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR!!! How do these people sleep at night knowing what they are doing????? Oh, and when asked if they were a law firm, as earlier stated, he said no, just a collection agency. I wonder how many others these scumbags tricked into giving them money.. makes me FURIOUS!!!

wanting money they are a SCAM

A Mr. Burns called my mother in laws house and left  a call back number of 800-290-1065, ref#157035

Received calls from this number

They have been calling for over 2 years.   They have threatened to have me arrested and sued.  They do nothing.  Just call with threats.  When I ask them to sent me proof, they get ugly on the phone.  Don't ever send them money.  

If you tell them that they are calling you at work and that it's illegal for them to do that, they have to stop.

PDL Recovery states I have a bad check....HA!

Multiple calls to business. Very annoying.

These people are a scam .. Do like I did and contact the my attorney general, and the CFPB.. I bet a lot of their threats could be construed as WIRE FRAUD.

800-840-7564 Mr. Wells calling my friends harassing them, asking them for information about me and to have them call me...when I phoned, he could or would not give me the name of the company he was calling from. If anyone has address info, I would like to file a complaint!  Thanks for your assistance.

Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  dime until the debt is validated
If they are bothering you, report them:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection
Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them .

Victim of identity theft since Feb. 2014 and have been receiving scam calls like this ever since. This particular one claims I need to pay for a returned check. However, my bank notifies me of any returned checks and charges a hefty service fee, so I would be aware if this had really happened. Furthermore, I have not had a returned check in probably 30 years. If this company takes any further action against me, I will contact my county's sheriff's office who has been handling my case. Right now I am ignoring their calls.

Charles West called my phone about someone else (my sister).  Said that he needed to get a statement from her.  I didn't return the call.  Said EDM/PDL Group.

I received phone calls first from a Ms. Watson, and then from an unidentified woman leaving her extension number, telling me that charges of fraud were about to be filed against my name and social security number and if I didn't respond right away, they would proceed with servicing actions. I called the second woman and left a voice mail telling her that given her company's track record and complaints all over the internet I was not going to talk to her by phone, that a felony charge of "fraud" is not filed in debt matters in my state, and to send me a letter with an explanation, identification of the debt and the client, etc., followed by "have a nice day". I then blocked their number. We'll see how it goes
