800-630-0816

This is not legit. I received a voicemail on Monday from these scam artists. I called them today, and they said they were suing on behalf of cash jar, payday loans. They said they were calling from the law firm of Goldstein and Barone, NY attorneys. When I asked the attorney;s first names, so I could check with the office of courts adminstration in New York, he refused to provide them to me, Said he was a paralegal with the firm, and does not know his employer's first names. Said they didn't have a Web site either. Asked to email proof of debt, he refused. When I mentioned I Googled the phone number and it came up as belonging to a phone company in India, he immediately hung up.

Called back, next guy was really unprofessional, said if ! paid $415. today, they would settle the debt. DO NOT PAY! These shysters have hacked into these online payday loan companies and took information on delinquent debts.

The reason how I know, is another 800 number called about the same payday loan and company, Cash Jar. This guy was legit. He said even if I wanted to settle it, it was already too late he's already filed the paperwork. Asked me if the caller had an Indian accent, I said no, these are Americans, but I mentioned Vodafone, and he told me they are a scam, they will be asking you for money. He was very nice, professional and helpful, said if I had anymore questions, feel free to call him.

I received a call from these idiots stating they were going to have me served with papers because i was being sued for an old payday loan. I was tiold that I could pay it with a post dated credit card or check. I said i was not going to pay them. They called my employer and stated they wanted to have permission to come on the property and serve me then they started to give the receptionist a hard time when she asked questions and hung up. They then called again and I spoke to them and told them to go ahead and serve me. I was told they will be arriving between 3pm and 4pm that day. I said ok and was told that I would be served in front of my supervisor and that it would not be nice. I just told them to go ahead. Well........it has been 3 days now and no one ever showed up. Also, they claim to be from the law offices of Goldstein & Barone out of New York State. I searched all over the internet and cannot find any information about any law firm with that name. Oh yea they have an email address that is thru Yahoo. A legitimate law firm would have it's own web server domain name for cliaents and the courts to use.......TOTAL SCAM!!!!!!!!!

Well, here it is another day and no papers served.......imagine that. These scum really need to be prosecuted. I have reported them for imitating a law official, process server as well as harassment. But the hard part is actually getting to them to prosecute. Beware of these types of people, they will threaten you hoping you will get scared and pay them. Most times the debt owed is false because they hacked into various payday loan sites and stole personal information. If they call you ask a lot of questions they will get confused from the script they use or they will get mad and hang up on you. A true proffesional company will not act that way........

Hello, they have call me once last week and once this week. They told me if i didnt pay them they will come on my job in front of everyone; also i was told i had up to 24 hours to reponsed they almost had me for second because they caught me off guard but i wise up quickly when i ask for there information they got mad. Dont give them your money this is not real scam.

I got a call today from guy callilng himself David. He stated that I will be served with papers for check fraud and the secod party will also be serves aswell.. he call from an unkonwn number but he did leave 800-630-0816 for me to call him back .. I have done no such thing.

Just to add, he said he is from Legal Services

Called my parents house and left a scary message about check fraud? I know better than calling back and disputing it. I had the same guy calling my workplace 2 years ago. Fortunately, my boss was an ex-collections agent and he scared them off.

Don't even bother calling back. They will get you upset!

this phone  me he say his name Jacob he harass me

I got a call from Mr. Powers last week. He left a message on my cell and also called my mom's house and got her all upset. He said my bank was sueing me for check fraud on two check advances two years ago. He said he was from N MS Legal Services. He said if I didn't call him back that same day he would have me and my mom (which he said I used as a reference) locked up. Ha! I called back and he offered a settlement for $250 for each advance. I gave him my debit card # to run it thru like the next week on a certain day. When I suggested using a Wal-mart visa card he got loud and said do you think I am going to steal your money! He suppose to had sent me an email of the detailed info with the acct numbers and how much I owe and from whom,etc. Never did. He also said he would mail it to my home address. As of today I still haven't received the papers. I called them back about 4 times the same day telling them I never received the emails. They would said it should be on its way, oh I will have my secretary to send it in about 20 mins. This is what they told me each time I called. I knew that didn't sound right especially with the yahoo email address he had given me. He was saying it really fast each time I had asked him the email address and was getting aggravated. I ask whom the email would come from? He said oh my secretary which he gave me a name so fast and didn't tell me her email address. Since all of this didn't sound right to me, I googled the name Goldstein and Barone. And that's when I found out that this company is probably a fraud. I have read all of the posts people has posted. I called my bank the same day I gave them my debit card # and requested to close the old one and issue me a new one because I suspected fraud.

just got an unknown call from Mr. Duquette from "county legal services" stating he was scheduled to serve me with papers for check fraud, gave a case #, and 2 of the 3 addresses he had on file for me. said if i wasn't home, he's "be escorted" to the other address being entered in the system. i don't know what this is about, but am concerned that if the "other address" is my employment, cops will show up? what do i do?

I received a voice mail today from David Bridge with County Legal Services. They claimed I had been listed as an accessory in a fraud case against my mother. I asked him for documentation regarding the suit. I also asked if I could contact the county I live in since he said he was from "County Legal Services", he told me they would not have a record of the case. I knew that was fraudulent. When I asked how to have my name removed he told me I was being non-compliant and we would be served. I told him I would deal with the paper work when it arrived. He hung up on me.  This is not a true debt collector. Know your rights and request documentation for everything!

Received the same call, asking if they would be permitted to 'serve' me paperwork.  Told them absolutely not and hung up.  They also refused to give their name.  Total Con.

These people are harassing my brother and myself re: some supposed check fraud, saying they will come to home and job to serve legal papers. Blocking their #...I have gotten several calls of this sort...from Chicago and San Antonio.

I also just got a message from 12102490540 and it's from a David Bricks (Sounds like Vin Diesel) from County Legal Services (what county?) and that I can call 8006300816 if I want to find out what this is about.  And that they will also serve my parents house with papers because they are a part of the check fraud.

I've had idiots like this harassing me for years.. I just never even let them know I'm alive.  And they normally give up.

If you reverse look up 2102490540 it looks like it's an office in San Antonio TX and it looks like a telemarketer place as that number is associated with other types of scams with online degrees and such.

Don't PAY THEM ANY MONEY.  Even if they do know the account you owe on..  ANYBODY CAN RUN YOUR CREDIT AND ANYBODY CAN CALL YOU AND HARASS YOU.. All they look for is an unpaid loan and they try to get you to think that you are really going to pay it off but in reality they will just take your money and run.

told me they were coming to my house and work place with papers for check fraud
also. I called back no answer. Assume these are connected to middle eastern
sounding person from the same number with same message check fraud.
middle eastern person says his name is David Jackson. I don't think so.

I received a call from a guy saying he was going to serve papers for check fraud. He gave an account number which is one that I already paid off. I called the number 1-800-630-0816 and for along time I got an answering machine. Today I got ahold of someone and told them that I already paid this account off and offered to send clearence letter. He said the people I paid it off with was a scam and I need to get my money back. I said I called them and they said you were a scam, I told them I was not paying anything and hung up.

This is a scam

This is ridiculous!! These people need to be handled for this. That is totally insane!  What can we do to eliminate this none sense?  Check fraud scammers.

any calls that threaten criminal action, charges being filed, state "check fraud", or anything of  that nature should be reported to the New York State Attorney General's office by calling 716-853-8404 and requesting a complaint form. save any messages or recordings where possible.  Always request proof of the debt be mailed to you (via US Mail, not email) before agreeing to pay anything. You cannot be arrested for failure to pay a debt, it is a civil matter.  This company is NOT a lawfirm, therefore they cannot sue you themselves.

this is a TOTA.L SCAM...>. THEY ARE NOT A LAW FIRM!  not even a real licensed business. just a couple of people with a phone line that steal debt portfolios and falsely threaten you with lies....they do not even own the debt they have stolen...do not pay them anything...report them to the authorities...several investigations are under way regarding the owner....i have been interviewed...this is a total scam...again, do not pay them anything. report them asap so this guy can be busted and thrown in jail for larceny by extortion.
