8447122131

They are not a law office but a debt collection company of some kind.  A lot of serious complaints against them.

Unless they are willing to give you a debt validation letter by US mail  (E-mail no good) simply ignore them.  Block their calls.

Thank goodness for this website! I received the same call today! Scam for sure!!

Someone just called about needing 2 forms of ID for a delivery from 844-712-2131 about a formal complaint.  They called from UPS #212-200-5069.

Same here, caller I.D. comes up unknown number, Lets all get a class action lawsuit together because you can't get thru or something! I could use a few dollars to shut them down!

I just got the same thing yesterday and today too!

Got calls from both 200 and 844 codes today. Can't wait for them to call back. Am going to answer and tell them to hold while I get a pen and paper to take their info--- then going to lay
the phone down and go about my daily chores -- wonder how long they will hold on the line? Everytime they call back I will do the same thing!

Got the same calls yesterday and today regarding a complaint, stating there is a delivery scheduled and they'll only make 2 attempts, make sure to have 2 forms of ID and to call 844-712-2131 if any questions.  They answer and say "please hold" and never return....

Thank you!  Have received this call twice and never followed up on them. Good information and very glad you posted.

that's true Tracy, they got me long time ago and give them $50.00 dollars from my account
then i typed to Google and find out they was scam,i am glad i stop payment  and tell a lawyer
and he told me not to contact again they are thief's.

I received the exact same call yesterday from Amy Hernandez about a formal complaint against me and they they will be delivering legal documents to my job or home and that I needed two forms of ID.  Number directed me to JP & Associates.  Is this a scam???  Seems too coincidental so many people received same exact call

I received the same message on my phone -saved recording on june 3 and assumed it was a scam. I am glad to find out it was and I did not respond. The message I received stated that Amy was calling on behalf of the services division of a CSL

Just received the same call with the same message thank you for the information.

Same massage from 844-71-2131 Amy Hernandez, check them out on this site, they're so stupid.

I have been getting the exact same calls and they even called my parents house and an aunt and uncle looking for me.  They were trying to scare my family and was even asking them to accept the paperwork or pay money...

I received the same call.  Hard to understand "Amy Hernandez", and had to listen to the message twice.  Is this company JP & Assoc in NY or CA???

Received same phone call from Amy Hernandez.  I am glad I took this step before returning the phone call.  It had me a little concerned until I read this information and realized it was a scam and debt collection.  I don't owe any past debts so I know this is a scam.  Thanks to all who took the time to report this.

They are calling from Chino Hills CA.  Or a call-center nearby.  Total scam operation.

According to the BBB, address is:

JP & Associates

13089 Peyton Dr,
Chino Hills,
CA
91709-6018  (Another mall rat, kitchen-table debt scamming operation)

(877) 338-8117

Same issue both my husband and myself getting these calls for last two days from the 212 number. Thanks for everyone posting it about a scam and about to get the debt validation letter if they call back. Good info there as they required to send one by US mail under federal law.

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).
