Does anyone know who is calling from this number, if you can help, i would truly appreciate it?

Linda,  I have google all over an can find nothing on this caller.  Perhaps if you check back periodically,  other posters will be able to identify.

Got a call from them. They say collecting a debt for payday1, who has had several fraudulent companies call under different names. They scam money out of you. Fell for it with the 1st company that called. Messages and threats all the same. Names all different. Person who left message gave a name. When I called back same person answered phone but gave another name. They didn't even answer phone with company name, just "hello". A business will give their name.

Just got a call from my sister who stated that she and my step mom both received a call from a Robert Wilson with the "Federal Tax Lien Division" saying that I had listed them as a reference (false). Robert also left a voicemail on my office line stating that that there was a pending case against me and to contact them by Friday otherwise it will be forwarded to the local district attorney. I could be wrong but isn't it HIGHLY illegal to impersonate any persons in law force and especially a federal entity? There was no mention of who EXACTLY he was calling on behlaf of other than to say "cases have been reported against you".

I know what is on my credit report and have completed certified mailings requesting the validitity of any debts therein.

I contacted the IRS directly. The rep stated that no one from the IRS has attempted to contact me and there is NO action pending against me. I gladly handed over the contact information for "Mr. Wilson's"  to the IRS. Apparently there is a massive RASH of these types of companies and scams going around. PLEASE take a moment to report your findings to the short form with the FTC at least. The IRS I think will be more prone to a response as they are the ones being impersonated.

I also submitted a complaint to the FTC:

We received a call to both of our cell phones from a Lean Arbitrator out of Solano County named Rebecca Holman saying that she had my husbands name & SS# with a complaint & gave a case # 543390-US & if he did not respond that it would be forwarded to the local court system & District Attorney then she said my husbands name & you have been notified.

I just got a call from this number. I spoke with the supervisor and she was very rude and also hung up on me. The call was about a payday loan. Who are these people. They said they were filing paper work to issue me a warrant. Is this a scam.

I just got off the phone with Rebecca and she told me basically the same thing. Is this a scam. They tried to get money out of me. I don't even know what this lady is talking about.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•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 whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or 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. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

I got a similar call today from a "Robert Wilson" or "Robert Wilkinson."  They are deceptive debt collectors and should be prosecuted for violating the law and using intimidation!

Just as an update.. Vince Enterprise was the company that has reported the "debt" to both Lebowski & Associates (206 E Commerce Street – Milford, MI 48381-1918)  AKA. MR WILSON as well as a company called Northern Resolution ( PO Box 566 – Amherst, NY 14226). BOTH of these companies have attempted to contact me with their shady collection tactics and NR has gone as far as try to put a collection on my credit!!!!!. I have sent certified C&D letters to both companies and included the Desist & Refrain order
(http://www.corp.ca.gov/ENF/pdf/2010/VinceEnterprise_DR.pdf)  issued by the STATE OF CALIFORNIA for their company (Vince Enterprises) for failing to obtain a license to do business in this state.

Long and short. Vince Enterprises deposited $300 into my account without my approval or immediate knowledge until a few months later when reconciling my bank records that I found many withdraws for 90.00 at a time adding up to over 700 bucks..  

So far the calls have stopped to my office and family since sending the C&D. We shall see if they heed the mandate in which the Department of Corporations set forth back in 2010 against Vince Enterprises and returns my money. If not... My lawyer is on stand-by.


If you too have found yourself in the same situation and live in CA (I think Ohio also has the same order), please email me. Uberboi85@gmail.com . It's time to put these "people" in their place!!!!!!

It seems the Mr. Wilson entity was impersonating another MI legal firm. Please disregard the Lebowski & Associates inclusion above. They responded to my certified letters stating that they are in fact NOT the same company and have nothing to do with Vince Enterprises nor Northern Resolution Group.

I called Northern Resolution (on behalf of Vince Enterprises) to follow up with my DnR that was sent a few weeks ago.
Spoke with David Orbochata (Disputes manager) who states that my account has been deleted from their records as of 6/27 and no further collections will be taking place.
