8337558326

Been calling for almost yr looking for my estranged brother. Call my 71 yr old confused mom too. When calling them back the guys get mad and promise to keep calling me forever. They use my full name to intimdate me some how, So I call back said I can do that too now  remove me as I am not him and on the dont call list.
Latley I spoekd with two woman who seem nice and pormise to remove me but that has never happend. Sad Americans doing this to other Americans. They always use different local numbers to try to trick me which is illegal. Thier call back number is 833-755-8326. I always report them to dont call .gov. Can do more then just making notes here. 708-30401684 number they last use,

I just listened to the call, and the inserted name was my EX HUSBAND!! From 1999! We were married for literally 9 months (military, enough said) ...  How the heck is my cell attached to that dude??????????

I just received the same scam message as well. We need to definitely report this line to FTC

Call stated there is a pending claim in their office  stated there is a file number and said to reference jennifer l december but the voice mail gave me my daughters name i am sending this to the attorney general and my attorney  this is a scam and i am sick of these people

it was a recording, Said I had been notified, that I needed an attorney or to press #1. I checked number call came from Merrit Mediation.  I have no idea why they called.i suspect it is a scam.

I have been receiving the same call for my sister in Tennessee. They use her maiden name and she has never had my current phone number. The message they leave doesn't even give a reference number. I wish these scams would just be done. My family used to receive these same calls for me. Why they never call the right person I don't know.

Because they're trying to embarrass their victim into paying what is more than likely a non-existent debt.

They have the phone number of their intended victim.  It is much easier to extort money if you panic the intended victim first by embarrassing them to everyone they know (which in itself is illegal)

Merit Exchange Financial Services.  Website says that they are in Georgia which is another major area for criminals pretending to be debt collectors.  Website doesn't really say they are a DC though.

They have no BBB page and they are not registered in any state to legally do business.

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.

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.

Same scam message others are receiving. Also spoofs local numbers making you think the call is local.

They say there is a claim against me and I need to press 1 and speak with live person for details. Also leaves me the number at top to call. They are calling from 9125491423. The last call said I had court in Glynn county court house and gave a date. I checked court house and they had shut down all court cases due to Covid.  They wanted $525.00 on my debit card. i didn't call back and they got nothing.

Got hired by this so called collection company,and quit a week later I’ve worked in collections for a couple years now and nothing about the company collection policy’s were legit I had to contact a lawyer for them withholding my wages earned after I quit, also contacted the BBB I encourage anyone else to do it as well ... it’s a big scam and if a person is not aware of FDPCA rules they will fall victim

Received an e-mail stating I had purchased Norton Security for $499.99 and to call (833)-553-0256 for further details. Yea, right. Never made the purchase and defiantly did not call the number. Scammers never quit.

Same here! Contacted my sisters saying they are a law firm and it's a important matter but no other info..its scary how hard people scam nowdays
