844-234-2994

Received yet 3 calls from this number today. Last week it was a different number. All the same message, threatening jail and or court unless I pay them.

Calls every day and my moms house

Thanks I didnt know I could even do that until now! Awesome

These people have been calling us for over a month and family members longer than that. SCAM SCAM SCAM!! They say we owe on payday loan--kinda hard to do when we've NEVER had a payday loan!!!
They call from First Recovery Associates, Northwest Recovery associates... It needs to be STOPPED!!
We block a number and they call from another. I have reported each number to the FTC and consumer protection and I will keep doing so!

Call them back & just say yes to every question they ask. "What bank / credit card are you going to pay with" ? Yes. " visa or master " ...yes !!! "Is all you can say is yes " ??? ....yeah !

They would call my business cell every day from 844-298-4709. I blocked that number and surprise, surprise... they started calling me from this number yesterday, lol. I've never taken out a pay day loan, by the way. I have my own business so not even sure how that would work, lol.

I just blocked them. They told me I had a pay day loan from 2007 for 450.00. I was 17 in 2007. Scammers.

Thanks for sharing this information.  Now it makes more sense to me how they knew the last 4 of my social security #.  Unbelievable!

This number and another from the same outfit has called me FOUR times. It's not even me they are trying to scam, it's my sister. And the scary thing is they have called our other sister too. How do they know we are related?! Would sure like to know who sold them our numbers. When the call is returned and the "claim" number is given they won't be specific about the debt. Total scam!

Call blocker might be of some help.  Also don't pick up on numbers you do not recognize, or where there are caller IDs that seem odd.  Or where there is no caller ID

You have to find them first.  Nobody seems to know who they are.  They may not even be a legal corporation or LLC.  They may just be a group of scammers working out of some make-shift call center.

Ignore them and block the calls.  Most likely an off-shore Caribbean debt scammer.  They are using "First Recovery" now.  They use a lot of different CIDs. Total scam.

They can't be sued because no one can find them.   Most likely a Caribbean-based scam group.

First Recovery Associates :
Most likely part of the Global Scam out of Jamaica or perhaps the Island of Nevis. Or Nassau in the Bahamas.  Clearly an off-shore scamming group.  Callers generally have Caribbean accents.
They also call from many other numbers see: 251-301-9797, 800notes.  This is a Jamaican or Nevis or Nassau or Trinidad (I'm pretty sure) offshore group.

They may use other  CIDs and phony creditors as well.  Their signature phrase when you ask them where they are located is to say: "they are in Miami but have 48 locations in the US".  Right.   Lately they’ve been adding the phrase “except Hawaii and Alaska.  Just to show you they now have learned some geography.  These people are nothing more than   overseas scammers.  Ignore these people and block their calls.
Report them:  See:  http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
My own research suggests that they are the remnants of
CWB Services, LLC.  (Cutter Group)
2114 Central Avenue
Kansas City, MO 64110
Sued by the FTC in 2013.  Can’t operate in the US, so they used their Jamaican or Nevis subsidiaries to carry on the scam.  Which accounts for the US – like scamming operations they engage in.

They leave a message on my phone and my son's phone about having a collection debt. and a claim number.  That if I am the caller they are looking for press 1.  Never leave a name or a company name.  My son upset cause he's getting this call for me, and I've never given
his number to anyone.  Tired of receiving this call and the messages.  Blocking Caller.  Must be fraud!!

I've gotten calls every weekday, up to two a day, for someone I have never heard of. Stayed on the line, asked to speak to someone because I have already called AG office on this .. and was hung up on.

I received a call, same as above.. Saying I had 2 loans out that was refinanced by some other company Access Holding LLC & Paragon back in 2011.  Saying that these companies refinance payday loan or cash advanced loans that were received over the internet.  They wouldn't tell me who I originally got the loans from or when, last time I got a loan like this was back in 2002 maybe 2003.  The scary part is they had my span email address that I use and the last 4 digits of my SS #.  I blasted the first guy John (who had an Indian accent) and demanded a supervisor then I got Michelle (Indian accent) who told me their job was just to try and stop the companies that refinanced my so called loans from going to court.  I told her that she was trying to scam me, no money will every go over the phone and she will not get any information from me, that I was going to contact my lawyer and good day!!!

They informed me I owed on a pay day loan from ten years ago, which I know I paid. I asked for a statement in the mail before I proceeded with any payment commitments. She refused and told me that they will be proceeding with court hearings. Upon informing her that I am a former collections agent who is well aware of the law and that, according to the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act, they need to provide an itemized bill upon request, as well as the fact that it is illegal for them to threaten with police/court via phone conversations, she hung up. Scammers...PLEASE do not give these people any money!

First I received calls from 844-298-4709...about 15 calls... never answered any of them because the caller I.D. says 'no name'.
Now they call using the number 844-234-2994. I don't answer any calls from this number either.  All the calls come to my husband's cell phone.... which is a 'dumb' cheap phone... he only uses his phone if he has an emergency.  No one really has his number because we never give it out...only I have it, our children have it and 2 of his buddies have his number.  Very strange.

States that I have a claim against me but don't give me any details unless I give them the claim number.

I have been receiving harrassing calls for the last week.  I knew it was a scam and told them so and the lady (I use that term loosely!) said I should get a lawyer because they would see me in court, lol.  I told her I actually have prepaid legal so I DO have a lawyer and will sue them for harrassment.  (She didn't like that answer!)
DO NOT call the number back, all it will do is make your blood pressure go up because these people are CROOKS!!! ...I just now spoke to the the Texas DA office and she told me to not even bother answering the calls and to contact the Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-382-4357 to report.  I did so...very nice folks and very empathetic...said the scam artists are out in full force.  These crooks either buy the phone numbers or just find them on line.   The F.T.C.  Representative took info from me along with the phone numbers from where the calls came and gave me a case number to use in case I get more calls.  I know it's probably a futile attempt to try to stop these jerks, but it made me feel better!  Ha!  Please call the FTC and report if you have time.
