Originally called from phone number 614-992-1327
Voice message: “Our office is attempting to reach you regarding a new claim that was filed. You should have received paperwork at your residence by now. If not, please call 8 3 3- 4 6 5- 5 8 9 2 for further information again that's 8 3 3 4 6 5- 5 8 9 2 for more information on your case, thank you.…”

They called from 865-503-2429 but also use 833-465-5892. Woman was rude and hung up when I asked questions. I called back and she was claiming they had me for check fraud for an ach that didn’t go through for a payday loan from 15 years ago. I told her that’s not check fraud and even if it was the statute of limitations is up. She said there was no statute of limitations which is hilarious considering she claims to work for an attorney. They won’t give out info such as their address or send you paperwork on anything. Tney buy old debt that can’t be collected and try to scare people into paying them.

Got a call from them saying I took out a payday loan and when they went to collect the checking account was closed and when I started asking questions the lady was rude and said I was being placed into check systems and good luck and hung up

Leave msg claim filed sent to my address call back . Did not say my name on msg . Did not call back they keep calling .

Call came in from BIO GX Lab at 469.423.1390.  They said that I should have received paperwork by now at my residence.  That a claim has come into their office.  They did not leave any information identifying themselves, their office name.  Said if I needed more information contact 833.465.5892.  I googled the 833 number and it is listed as Joseph & Williams LLC...

So sick of these scammers - same as everyone else here.  I don't answer anymore - last guy called my work and when I told him to f off - he said he was calling my boss - THIEVES!

I googled the original number that it called from (816-339-0378) - it said it was a document delivery scam.

In AZ, the statute of limitations for payday loans and those check into cash loans is 6 years.

Our office is attempting to reach you regarding a new claim that was filed. You should have received paperwork at your residence by now.

Received a voicemail from 262-336-9935 saying that I should have already received paperwork at my residence and to call a different number of 833-465-5892. I looked up the original number that left  voicemail and it was a semi local personal cellphone number. A legit business would not use random people's cellphone numbers to reach you. I won't call back a number I know is trying to scam me because then they will either continue to harass or sell my number to another scam company. Don't give these scammers more opportunities....

sell my number to another scam company.

Another ridiculous idea.  Since there is no reason for anyone to purchase phone numbers no one will spend money for them and even if there was they already know that your phone number is "good" because they left a voicemail on it.

The fake process server/location specialist scam usually contains:

They mention that they have received a Fax document or that some sort of complaint has “come across my desk” 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 they 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 have to be served within a certain amount of time.  Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there is actually 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, email, or text (postmarked in the case of a letter) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. Unless they have communicated it to you verbally at the beginning of your conversation. It also must contain the “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 communication 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 communication 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 a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Who is this they left a message

They said I should have got a letter by now but if not I need to call a leave a message and will call me back with in 48 hours

Actually, like murder, there is no SOL on fraud....

But... If anyone is committing fraud, it's them. Don't fall for it. Demand documentation, including the original contract, signature cards or signed contract, contact information for the original creditor, a valid chain of custody for the case documents, etc.

Also, ask them, if it does turn out that I owe this debt, how do I pay you, and see what they say. If they say western union, gift cards from Walmart or cash, or some type of cash transfer like Venmo or other type, you know it's a scam...

When I get these types of calls, I tell them to go ahead and file it, and I will see them in court, along with a counterclaim. That usually shuts them up. Good luck!

Just received this call today?  Anyone figure this place out?
