I got a call too from that same number. Anyone have information?

Calls on a daily basis even late at night.....

Yeah, but there's no record of any company called Bronstein and Vaughn, except for a facebook entry that tells you nothing.

They claim to be an arbitration firm, but that's just scammer code for debt collector. If this is such a a great company, why don't you give us the address.  I understand they are supposed to be located in Buffalo New York.   Which, by the way is the home of many, many kitchen-table debt scammers.

So.  How about it?  Address of these jerks?

they just called me at work- big time SCAMMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tracey White from Bronstein and Vaughn has called me three days in a row looking for someone I don't know. This is a scam call. When I threatened to contact the FCC she hung up.

Ha.  I just got the exact same call. Gotta be a scam.  I deleted

They sent a verification form to my kob

What is a "kob"?

If this has something to do with a supposedly unpaid loan,
A phone call or email from a supposed debt collector is not legally sufficient evidence of debt.
Let us know what is a "kob", and somebody will tell you if that was a legally acceptable notice.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) includes statements such as this:

* Every collector must send you a written “validation notice” telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don’t think you owe the money.   ["Written" means snailmailed ... not emailed or texted]

Source:
https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Therefore, if that caller wants you to pay immediately, before you get the written validation notice via snailmail, or if the caller wants payment via green dot, Western Union, or other untraceable means, then the call is definitely not legitimate.

IF you wish to communicate with the supposed collector / creditor, visit  the following page, for example "Action Letters" to snailmail:

If you KNOW you owe no money, or believe the call was from a fake debt collector, please take the time to read this:

Yes it is a scam-DON'T GIVE ANY INFO! "Susan Brown" left message that "evidence against me has been substantiated" in a case filed in an [inaudible] county. I called back and asked which county, she wouldn't tell me-just kept asking me to verify last four digits of my SSN. Transferred me to "Brian Collins, Senior Litigator," who also wouldn't give me the county name and tried bullying me into giving last four of SSN ("Guess you're just gonna have to wait for the sheriff to show up at your door..."). He also gave me a bar # for an attorney not named Brian Collins, so he's clearly not a real lawyer.

You're right-Sammy Fauxe and anyone else who claims to have been helped by Bronstein & Vaughn is just one of the scammers.

Lisa Reeves called and left a message stating she was from Bronstein & Vaughn, and a claim has been filed against me and there is  substantial evidence against me, from  an investigation and legal background that has been conducted. Their legal office is handling the case. And she would tell me about the state law but she wasn’t going into it, but anyway the law states I have 72 hours to call the ligations department at 844-245-8881 ext. 423 to discuss the matter because it is being filed.

Stupid I am not, I have blocked this number and filed a complaint with privacy star.
If it was legitimate then something would have been sent by mail. I have received NOTHING. Hate scam artist companies.

I got the same threating phone calls on my cell and at work,  I called my local police they took a report gave me a file # to give to Charles Heaton who said he works for this. Company and suggested that I call FBI and BBB file reports with them which I did.  You can also see if any company is legit on FBI site.

Received several calls  from 1-844-248-8881 ext. 408 from a Charles Heaton from Law Offices of Bronstein and Vaughn . I caked my local Police department they took a report, they suggested I call FBI and BBB and file reports which I did. Anyone can look to see if the company is real on FBI Web Site. It's a scam and scare tactic. I don't owe any one any money.

I just received a call as well stating I had a case in the office against me and I had 72 hours to contact them about it. They left a number and extension and advised I need to call before further action was taken.. I had a felling it was a scam seeing I have never received anything in the mail. I did this before with another company and gave them money scared and paid it off, just a few months later another company called stating I owed money for the same thing I paid off. Where is the letter in the mail if it was something real?

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

— filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.

Company called my cell phone and left the same message everyone seems to be getting. They also left that message on my mother's cell phone as well.  This company seems to call me every 5 months. And they won't give me any paperwork.  Just threaten me that I am going to be arrested.  Scam company.

Claims to have several pending charges to file against me with the Harris County Sheriff's Dept.  I know this has to be bogus but I figure mistakes happen all the time.  However, I was very unsettled and disturbed by the voice mail left for me so I went downtown to all civil courts and criminal courts in Harris County to wit neither of their departments know nothing about this.  This is a very nasty game to pull on even your worst enemy.

He stated he is Brian Collins, a litigation attorney.

I just got another call B&V this time they got more demanding and wanted me to fax over bank statements for for the months in question. Question ??????  I thought they had all the info. I told her my attorney told not to. Then she wanted my attorney's phone number so she could call them and told no that they would call her. She got huffy and mutter some words and hung up. Called the number back and tried an extension number and it didn't work, so tried a bunch extension numbers and not one worked. They all take you to 0. The same female tried to play the roll of three different people. Same voice three deferent names.
