800-539-6077

Be very aware of this shade company.  I got a call   explaining  that they we're investigating payments owed from my brother and if i didn't  pay over the phone  with credit card that he would be prosecuted.  I believe my con-artist also said Georgia too.   This was funny,  I have no brother.

This is a valid investigation company. If you have taken out a loan writing a check  it is very important that you pay the money back. It is against the law to write a bad check. I will encourage anyone not to take out a loan using a CHECK!

Ha Ha They left me a message telling me someone with this number had a bad check, I dont have checks! Then went I called back it was the same guy that left the massage with a diff name, GET A JOB!

Was called by this number. Was told by an investigator Gregory Shaw that I owed for a 5 yr old Payday loan. When questioned, he couldn't tell me where the loan was taken out, what my middle name was, and said that I needed to pay 600+ dollars today or it would go to court. When I told him he had wrong person, he asked for the first 6 numbers of my SSN to verify who I was!!! Yeah right. He also threatened that he would keep calling until I took care of the "problem." Funny thing the date he gave me for the payday loan was right in the middle of my first deployment to the Middle East as an active duty Marine! Definitely a scam. Don"t give out your SSN to anyone over the phone unless you talking to people/businesses who need to know and you trust

The call just happened.  Investigator Gregory Shaw @ 1-800-539-6077  x#104 said he was trying to resolve a 5 year old check fraud on a payday loan that he said was taken out 2 years prior to living in the area. He said there were 2 consecutive payday loans made the same day now totaling close to $2000 together. He wanted money (at least 20%) to stop 'litigation' proceedings.

When asked to provide written documentation he kept saying 'you know you did it'. He also said that it took them 5 years to catch up with after leaving multiple phone messages. He also stated that the number he called was the same number used on the loan application form. This phone number isn't that old, the party of the phone number didn't even live in the state of question.  The friend is calling an attorney for a 'free' consultation to find resolve.

At this point I am inclined to believe this is a somewhat shady business. Even though the basis of info was incorrect he blurted out the SSN.
This day and age...unfortunately those aren't too hard to come by. Careful eyes are needed!

They are harrassing me and calling my parents and my grandparents house saying they are contacting me on a check written 5 and 1/2 years ago on a bank I have never banked at. When ask for proof they say they cannot share any of the evidence with me, but are persistent on getting money over the phone or they are turning over to local authorities for prosecution. SCAM!!!!!!!!!

These people called me with a girl names Brenda Lee. she claimed that if i didnt give her payment TONIGHT over the phoen with a credit card that i would have a warrant and be arrested and charged wtih check fraud from 2005... looked up their website.. lookes like a 5 yr old set it up!

these people just called my aunt, who lives in a different state and whom I havent spoken to in 10 years stating that I have 2 checks that I wrote to Sears in 2005.. I have only been to sears a few times in my life to get some lawn equipment, and we paid using a credit card. They said that I would be prosecuted.. Ok, really?? Thats the best they can do? I have tons of family that live in the same area as me, and they call my Aunt? whatever.... not worried at all. AND their website looks like a sham.

Hubby's mom got a call asking if she knew hubby and the

matter was about depository fraud. If a real

investigator was calling they would not divulge that

info to anyone except the person they were trying to

contact. The caller id # lead us to this bogus website;

just read their wording - it was obviously created to

continue the scare tactic.

http://www.gcbinvestigations.com. No company describes

themselves right off the bat as 'they are ethical people

who service ethical clients.' FURTHERMORE I looked at

the code used by their website and it links back to a

"create your own free website" service...so, they are

using a free website generator to continue this scam.

Sounds like some company hubby wrote a check for

somewhere along the line (ie payday loan) did not shred

the cancelled check properly when they went out of

business and now these scam people are using the check

info to hit folks up for money. This is the # they used

to call us .800-533-6077. The caller ID referenced NH

although the www references it as Georgia. Go figure.

Anyone can set up a website, and easily purchase a 1-800

#. Lincoln's picture being on the website does not make

them legit. Also, check out this article a newspaper

wrote up about them:

GCB Investigations left a message looking for a "Sharon Thompson" on 'depository fraud' (case# 396046) -> the message informed me that the "Local Authorities" will be instructed to arrest me(?) if restitution is not made ASAP.  Trouble is there is no Sharon Thompson at this address, I do not know any Sharon Thompson and never have.
The caller claimed to be a 'Maya Wade' Ex110.
These crooks are fishing, do not have anything to do with them!

Does anyone know if it is a real company did your hubby pay or go to jail from them I reported it to the FTC just in case I got a call at my moms house?

GCB investigations called my moms asking for me AND said they were an investigator, I dont trust this.

these people should be stopped they are now calling my family about some check fraud please do not give out your information to anyone this is a scam

they sent me crap in the mail saying i owed for a bad check. i have not had ckecks in 6 years but they also said they would have me arrested if restitution was not paid. but when i asked them to send me more info in thr mail so i know its not a scam they said they couldnt. i talked to a guy claiming to be tood johnson

ment todd.?the letter from them i got in the mail said they were out of georgia but mr todd said they were in houston.

since when does an investigation company take payments?? that would fall to collection agency or magistrate court warrant.  my husband was an investigator, and retired police officer. Their company never collected money.  if you owe money pay it to the said company owed, collection agency, magistrate court, but not to an investigation company.  they only locate and investigate people....dont be fooled.

they left a message on my voicemail for my brothers girlfriend saying if she dont call them the will prosicute her  it is illegal to leave a massage on someone other then the person they are looking for i dont know how they can get away with rhat i will investigate this company, iam a debt collactor for 15years an never heard of such thing

it sound like you are part of the scam ha! ha!

Left me a message saying i was being investigated for fraudulent checks.  I have not wrote a check in years.  I tried to call the man back (Mike Smith) and was told he was not available.  They wanted me to verify all my information.  The message they left me was only for Jennifer.  They did not say may last name.  When I returned the call the lady asked for my last name, address, phone number and social.  I told her she should know my # as they called me in the first place.  I called back a few minutes later and asked for Mike Smith again and they hung up on me.

They wont stop calling my family and harrassing them about theft and fraud? How can I r
eport them/
?
