844-714-3453

The company says they are calling from Upstate Capital Services.  The jerks names on the other end is DAVID MEYERS  ext# 404.  They refuse to remove your number even after telling them they have the wrong person.  Say they can't do anything about it and you'll continue to get calls.  SCAM

This person keep calling my phone from different numbers asking for a specific person I told them they have the wrong number they keep calling using fowl language calling me out my name calling me a liar leaving messages on my phone calling other family members when u call back says Upstate capital no such company exist in the BBB its an India Scam Company I just called my attorney to sue them.

They just called me and said they were trying to serve me papers. Said there would be 1 more attempt Fri between 9 and noon.  This guys name was Dante.

Try to sue me and thread to come to my job

This man calls me from an unknown number. 844-714-3453 Is the number Dante Stevens is insisting I call to settle a pending legal issue. He says he will serve me papers. Total scam.

Hello, please call me at 925-***-**** and leave your contact info with my receptionist regarding an FDCPA violation. I am preparing a case on these misleading tactics and I have a client that your testimony could help. I want to punish this collector.

You'd have a hard time doing that.  Nobody knows where these people are located.  No one knows what sort of legal entity they are.    I called that 844-714-3453 number and the person I talked to said Upstate Capital Services.  Claimed to be in Kenmore New York. Neither the NY Secretary of State  or.  BBB show anything.  Person would not give me any more information. Person had a US accent.   Most likely just another New York Buffalo Bully.

agencies with similar names using similar tactics:
Upstate Debt Management / Brown, Andrews & Scott
Upstate Management Services LLC in Buffalo NY (link to nefarious PentaGroup)
Allied Financial Solutions / A1 Processing (maybe in Canada, working yet more junk US Bank accounts)
Clark & Associates / A1 Courier
MS & Associates / A1 Courier Service / Access Holdings LLC

How does anyone finally get them to stop callin

how do i get in touch with you so they will stop calling me too?

how do i get in touch with you

Had a rude voicemail said that he was trying to serve me papers and I was avoiding him. He also said that he was coming by my place of work and my home which was an old address. Also said that he was going to say that  with this call to consider my self served. Did not say the company name just a phone number and a tracking number. The message was very rude. I was exstreamly pissed. I have now idea if he was a collection agency or what. If it truly was something I owed I would work to take care of it, but no way in hell would I give a penny to anyone like this. Someone needs to sue his ass off! I'd be glad to help!!!!

Criminals are masquerading as debt collectors in an attempt to extort money from people by scaring them into believing that:
a.    You are going to be sued and it will cost you lots of money when they allegedly “win” their case.
b.    That they are about to file criminal charges or that you will be criminally charged (they use the bad check or hot check claim a lot) and go to jail.
c.    That they will take away your driver’s license.
d.    That will garnish your wages without actually being suing you, going to court, or even winning a case and obtaining a judgement followed by a judge’s consent to the garnishment.  They also claim that your wages will be garnished in amounts far above all legal limits.

One of the tricks they use is to call your family, friends, neighbors and/or places of employment (past or present or both) to create panic and embarrassment so that their intended victim calls them and they can scare that person into paying their extortion money.

They will use the words “Mediator”, “Arbitrator”, “Law Office” or claim that they are a “Lawyer or Paralegal” to make you believe that they are something other than a debt collector want-a-be and that they don’t have to follow Federal and State collection laws, even though they do have to follow those laws, but they won’t.  They also tell you that if you fail to call them back you are "waiving your right to council", which is pretty much nothing but hogwash.

They claim they are officers of the court, or that an officer will accompany them, or even that they are sending officers to arrest you.  All hogwash.  They tell you to lock up your dogs and guns for “everyone’s” protection.  More hogwash.

They use the phrase “govern yourself accordingly” a lot, something they should do themselves.

They mention that they have received a Fax document, to create the sense of urgency and tell you that they are a “process server”. This is simply ruse to get you to call another 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).  Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them.  Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.

I've been getting calls from a David Meyers said he is from upstate capital services and I have to say I did pay them 150. I haven't paid anymore and they are threating to serve me papers at my home. Is this a scam?

The answer to your question is right there in front of you.  All you have to do is read it.

Did you ever get the papers? I had a David Meyers call and an Alex from a1 courier service said he will be here friday?

Read the other entries.  There are no papers.   No one is going to serve anyone anything.  No legitimate process server calls you up in advance and tells you he or she is coming by.  Block and ignore these calls.  You are being called by a debt scamming operation.

Please read and memorize the following:

Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.

If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:

1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  dime until the debt is validated

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.

If they are bothering you, report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)  The same goes for endless telephone harassment

Note that the US Supreme Court in the Case of HENSON ET AL. v. SANTANDER CONSUMER USA INC., has recently ruled that the provisions of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act do not apply if the creditor owns the debt in question.  As a practical matter this probably won't effect the kinds of scam debt collectors who often show up on 800notes.  The scam collectors don't give you any information about themselves so it is impossible to know whether or not they in fact "own" the debt in question.  Most do not send debt validation letters and many often say they are collecting for someone else.  So, make the complaint anyway if they are bothering you.  Let the FTC sort it out.

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you,  and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking).   the only thing they understand.

Got a call from Alex and asked if I'd be home at 3 on Friday the 30th. Told him I sure would be. Friday came and wouldn't ya know the jerk never called or showed. Had me worried quite a bit. I made all the necessary calls to report these idiots hope something gets done about them..

Just got a call! Is this really a scam?
