855-215-4653

Can I ask who the company is ? Do you know? Called my cell phone too

Called my phone, legal company

Number on caller id came up restricted.  The Lady said to call 855-215-4653 with in 24 hrs....

They called me today looking for another individual. This company changes their name and phone # every year or so. When you ask for the name of the "Firm" as they call it, the information is with held. It is a scam to get money! I wish they would loose my cell phone #. This has been going on for years! This last message was left by Julie Smith

They called me today, Tara Woods left a message to call her within 24 hours with a case number.  They've also called my mother and two of my brothers to get a hold of me, giving them the same information (name of caller, phone number to call back, and case number).
Called them back myself, was transferred to an individual named Chris Baylor (855-215-4653 Ext. 102)
He had my current address, phone number, birthday, and ssn.  Also stated that I should have been served with papers in regards to their call and case number.
Caller told me in was in regards to a credit card through Credit One opened in 2008.  Chris said his law firm has been picked up to get their money because the last payment made was on 11/13/2010 and it was NSF.  I have no records of ANY NSF payments (or lack there of) in my account.

I received the same call, and the same contact to reach to schedule payments for a bank account I never had.

I received a call today from 1-855-215-4653 at my number  they were trying to get ahold of another person threatening them theyand had a complaint against them saying they had 24hours  to get. ahold of them or they would go ahead without her help. The name of the lady who called was Rebecca Walters. Its a scam they want her bank Acct number. Fair warning watch out for this number. She left a message on my phone. Don'tnow how she got my phone number.

The Wilshire Group.  See my note.

This company is a scam trying to collect money.

I received a call from an unknown number. They left a detailed voicemail looking for a guy named Lee. He said it was in regards to an illegal action and wanted him to call this particular number within 24 hours. He also left a case number.

DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING!! I made the mistake of trusting them to pay off a credit card of my husband's got in a bind needed to get ahold of them and all the numbers were no longer in service the address was fake so I called my bank they did an investigation found out I was a victim of fraud and I got my money back TODAY I get a call from these same people different number and different company for the same thing claiming my husband had been served which he hasn't I told them I was not falling for it this year they had been reported to the police the Bbb and my bank and with a few choice words told them not to contact me again!!

I got a call from them yesterday, so did my 87 year old mother-in-law. She was beside herself because the message said I was involved in an 'illegal activity'. I told her I was not wanted by the police, these are scammers to try and scare people into sending money. Checked the message on my phone, the same message. Funny, the woman just said her name, not the company name. That alone is a red flag for me. Yeah, send me something in writing; serve me with papers. My attorney will have a field day with you.

Got the same message. Said i owed a charge card from 2002. never owned a card. told them to send the paper work and i would contact my lawyer

Do not give these people money! This is an absolute scam.  They called my wife, my uncle and my employer--just enough people to freak me out and get me to call them. A woman told my wife and my uncle that she is a process server looking for me and that I need to call this number and reference a file number they were given ASAP.  When I called the number, I was informed that I owed $2700 on an old credit card account with Chase, and that I could either pay it right that second, or I could take my chances in court and probably pay twice that amount. 2 things were wrong with their story: 1) I have never had an account with Chase, and no account with those dates is anywhere on my credit report; 2) The supposed account was from 2003 (they said it was in good standing until 2006) which is past the statute of limitations for debt collection on a credit card account.  Also, they imply that they are a legal firm, but they are not.  DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY.

BBB page gives them a B+ with 1 complaint:  http://www.bbb.org/central-california-inland- ... ide-ca-89073565
Their web site lists an address: http://wilshiregroupandassociates.com/contact.html
But a search of their address does not bring up their company name.  It does however bring up three lawyers, as well as numerous other businesses which makes it look like a virtual office:

http://www.bankruptcypower.com/office-locations/riverside/
http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/92505-ca-rogelio-morales-1955081.html
Note there was a third attorney but I could not get the page to open.
Note that Bizapedia list them as having been started in August of 2014 so it looks like they became criminals right from the start:
http://www.bizapedia.com/ca/WILSHIRE-GROUP-ASSOCIATES-LLC.html
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter 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 the date of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office and the California Attorney Gerneral Here:
http://oag.ca.gov/
Also, since the BBB lists them as attorneys, file a complaint with the CA BAR:  http://calbar.ca.gov/Attorneys/LawyerRegulation.aspx

i received a voicemail from 'tara woods' stating to call within 24 hours. when i called back, the lady who answered said 'well, that's weird' and forwarded me to someone in the legal department. he said i had been served for something but wouldn't tell me what until i gave him personal info. he said to look up the wilshire group on the bb. no thank you.

My husband received a call on his work cell from a Michael Renfro stating that I have a pending case against me and gave a case number. Hmmm, funny I owe no one.

Do NOT respond or give ANY information to these people! After some searching online I have found that they use fake names and multiple business phone numbers. They called me threatening legal action along with being extremely rude. They had my personal information and stated that they had my credit report. They also said that a loan company was suing me for a debt from 2004. That is long past the legal statue of limitations. They try to intimidate by raising their voices and talking over you. Don't fall for it.
