I had Cindy contact me too and try to get money from meIn saying that my dad owes money but he does not

They keep calling stating some man is using there services. Apprentally his number comes after mine so i know him. I tried to explain that i know no one with that name then she asked me if i knew my deceased mothers name. I said yes she passed away in 2017.

Calls about phone sex chat lines n me going to jail n even knew my gfs number and her family.

Someone named Candace called, asking for me by name.  Gave a callback number and a reference number, but did not identify what company they were calling from.  That's a huge red flag!  I don't owe anyone money, and it's obviously a scam.

They called saying $500 was owed to them and of I didn’t pay they would send someone to break my legs.  I’m a 68 senior and this is crazy.  I am filing a police report!

I just had a person call me time.  THIS IS A SCAM. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBERS.  I was threaten that I owed them $180 and I either give them a credit card or they are going to send someone to my home and when I come out I will be knocked out unconscious or I can just pay and avoid that.  If you are being harassed call the FTC and file police reports! They are scammers and threatening physical harm if you don’t give them your credit card number.

Record them!  They are violating every major law by the FTC.  Last call resulted in the person saying they would burn down my home if I don’t pay them money I do not owe

Same thing happened to me just now. I even agreed to pay the bill due to relative related thievery. After I agreed she puts me on hold for a couple minutes, and then she comes back with "here listen to this." I listened she then says "that's you" so I hang up on her. Then they call back right away, it's her, the same lady. She says something like she has the wrong number or something of that nature and then hangs up on me. Idk what kind of collection agency insults someone willing to pay? Smh! Wtf is the world coming to.

Your post is confusing.  Why would you offer to pay a bill that wasn't yours to begin with?  Why would you offer to pay what is clearly an extortion attempt?

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt, and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two or more federal and state agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

BBB now gives them a B- rating, up from an  F rating even though they now have 284 complaints, up from 56 complaints and 7 negative reviews as of 1/7/2021:  https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/los-angeles/profile ... s-1216-13130417

I can’t find a company registration anywhere which would mean that they are not legally allowed to conduct business.  From the looks of it they are operating under a ton of names in order to avoid detection.  However, they are using a PO Box which means they had to provide ID to open it and the USPS will release the information when served with a subpoena.

The address seems to come back to several organizations including an adult magazine:

The fake process server/location finder extortion attempt usually consists of the following:

They mention that they have received a Fax document or some sort of complaint and that there is a pending legal matter or action about to filed against you to create the sense of urgency.  They tell you that they are a “process server” and cannot give you the particulars of the case since the file is sealed. This is simply ruse to get you to call another number (often with a made-up case number) where they will ask for money to “make it go away” (this is actually the same place, they work in teams, one pretending to be the server, and the other usually pretends to be a lawyer).  They threaten to serve you at home or at work.  They tell you that if they serve you at work then they will need a supervisor, security, or HR person there as a witness, hoping that will cause you to panic over the alleged embarrassment of being served at work.  They also tell you that you will need two forms of ID.  None of which is true.  Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them.  Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.  They certainly are not going to pass up a paycheck by telling you that you can avoid being served, they are not going to give you an extra day or even a few hours to get a “stop order”.  Court documents are time sensitive and must be served within a certain amount of time.  Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there really is a lawsuit that has been filed against you.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked 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 of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.  If and when you get that letter you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

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

This is the second time I was called by this number, the lady(Candance) , said I never paid a bill, but my card texts me if they think it's a bogus charge and I say yes or no. She then said the names of my family members. When I sai please just send me a bil in the mail, she said they had done that already and it's to late. If i saw something that said Spectrum i threw it out, thought it was the TV company. I said I can't give her my CC info over the phone she hung up.

Like the other, got a call from Spectrum saying I owed them $750. Totally bogus.

I don't even have a credit card and they are talking about an unauthorized use of credit card, hahaha hahaha.

Is this really Specrtum

Since that question has been answered (and  on this very page!) I have to wonder why you are asking it (that is a question isn't it since the ? is missing at the end)?
