According to the New YorK Secretary of State, there are three Asset Management companies listed.   Hard to say which one this is.  The party answering this number says  "Asset Management" (mumble-mumble).  Scammer outfit for sure.  Ignore and block the calls.

From a shill....The company is legitimate. Not a scam. Licensed and operating in the State of Florida. Asset Management Services Group. I am just a troll though so don't take my word for it.

Not a "scammer for sure". Licensed 3rd party debt collector.

OK, thanks, looks like I should be able to come up with tons of dirt on them in the short time they have been in existence.

Good for you. Go crazy. Maybe while doing your research you can locate our general counsel too. Or maybe that is just another troll comment from a scamming shill.

Shill, troll....call it whatever. Plenty of names can be use to describe the individuals that write comments here too. This troll has more class than to label people. There is no pretending or scamming. The company is not calling you or emailing you from some foreign country to "scam" you out of your money. I visit this board to amuse myself with the comments placed here. Interesting and amusing reading.

Especially when it comes to comments posted by those that work for debt collectors.
No matter how hard they try, they will never convince me that these calls are legitimate. Especially considering that they are known for calling outdated numbers. I know this since I went through it.

Oh a lawyer threat.  Love it.  Bring it on!!!!!!!!  I will make him go home a cry to his mommy.  Oh wait lawyers don't have mommies, because snakes hatch from eggs.

The head criminal seems to be this Mark Smekhov.  His address includes several telemarketing companies and a debt relief company.  Perhaps getting the names of their victims from the debt relief thieves?

Now this company has already file two amendments to their charter, the last moving Mentoli and Silverpoint off shore.  Wow does that scream tax dodge, illegal activities and money laundering or what?

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Thank you for all the information; very useful. I need to put an end to this soliciting and I really don't want to be forced to change my number. What do I do..

This isn't soliciting, it is a criminal debt collector violating Federal law to extort money from people. If you read the last paragraph of my post, you would see links to go to the official government sites.  there you can read up on what to do.  The CFPB also has template letters that you can download and modify so that you can send these cretins cease and desist letters, validation letters, not my debt letters,whichever fits your situation.  Make sure that you send anything in writing by certified, return receipt US mail so that you have the evidence that they received the letter, or refused the letter.

Thanks for saving me the trouble of writing. This is EXACTLY what they did to me. And I had just got out of the hospital after emergency brain surgery. So I'm still having effects & trying to get back to normal. This upset me so bad. I did know though that we have never taken out a payday loan. But really confused why they had all this information some how. What was funny is one of the references was my first husband. So me & my current husband are going to put down my first husband that I haven't spoke to in 15 years as a reference, really?

Keep calling me at work. not really happy about this. I got calls from 2 different numbers. 18008950988 and 7544443395.
Thanks for all the info on this web page. Very useful.

PAY YOUR BILLS AND STOP BEING CRIMINALS......
simple as that... MasterCard or visa??

This isn't a discussion as to whether or not we should "Pay our bills"--

This is about consumers' rights when it comes to the collection of debts.

Thanks for playing.

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

Some Tips:
*Keep all messages
*Take a picture of your Caller ID
*Keep any and all conversations recorded to your states recording laws, some require they be told, others do not. This can be transferred to a recording device.
*Keep a notebook handy for writing time,date, who you spoke with and what the conversation detailed.
