8552341304

I just received a call from this number.  855-234-1304  It was an automated call and told me it was in regards to a check that had been returned not paid from my bank.  I proceeded to press 1 to get a person and it hung up on me.  I then called the number and a man answered, but I forgot what he said his name was.  I asked him who he was and what he wanted and he told me his name and then I asked what he wanted and he said I told you my name was so and so but you're being very evasive so why don't you just never mind and have a nice day.  I will be recording and documenting everything I get from this number.  PLEASE DO NOT give out your information.

They are definitely a scam. I have no idea how they got my personal information (which is the scary part). Unfortunately I have reported them to everyone I can think if, but no luck stopping them. So I decided to bother them like they bother me. I posted their number to my facebook account and invited everyone to call them and clog up their lines. They hate it when I keep calling back.

I got a Voice Mail from 855-234-1304 They said they had my name and SS# and to call them back. They said I owe them money from a payday loan I paid off over 5 yrs ago. and if I did not pay them 700 they were going to have the Sheriffs Dept come get me. Pay Day Loans are illegal in NC.

Stop calling my phone

I received a call from a person ID ing himself as officer John and that he would be serving me at home or work and that my immediate supervisor needed ed to be present as a witness. also that i needed to have 2 forms of ID. Caller ID blocked as private caller.

I just received a call from an "Unknown Caller."  The number they gave as a claimant is 855-234-1304. The guy only identified himself as Howard Gates, no company name nothing. He started the message out giving his name and then saying since he has not received a cease and desist letter he will be out to my home tomorrow (12/04/13) at 4pm, I better be there to sign for the paperwork. This is so tiring. The number 855-234-1304 I have blocked on my phone so that is why they are calling in as unknown.

Im receiving calls from these people stating that i received a loan from a company in 2009 and i know i didnt he decided to argur with me and i stated to him that i was going to google the number to see if it was a scam and then hung up on me.

I receive a phone call from John Hardy stating i need to call him back becayse he has a legal document ready to go to court and this is the last time for me to appeal it.  Even called my manage at work a left a threating message.  I ask him if he can send me written verification.  he said they dont send no written verificication and told him to stop calling my job.  I will sue them for disturbing my work. he hanging up the phone.

receiving rude as well as what I would consider  threating calls from 855-234-1304, threating to call my place of employment, have no idea, who ths person is or where they are from.

I have no outstanding bills or debts and still get calls.i have a supposed court date and case #

Just got a message on my answering machine and they said they would be at my home by noon today to serve me papers. Left an case number and said if any  questions to call back. No way. I know this is a scam now just by reading these posts. These scammers need to be stopped.

I have been receive these calls from a number of different numbers and different people. They same the same thing each time with each different call, and I paid the alleged check off many years ago. I contacted an attorney a few months back and he stated that all you have to do is tell them to contact your attorney. But do not give them your social at all. They are trying to get the money from you. I have had to be rude to them a few times. They call my home and my cell.

Same thing as before...8552341304 Anthony gill leaving voice mails....threatening to show up at my home and work place wishing me good luck with my case....hanging up on me...to top it all off ITS NOT ME HE IS AFTER....he calls this phone # but the people do not live here!

a man named Howard Gates call me today saying that had some documents to sign. And that he would be at my work or my residents in 48 hours.. and have someone there to witness. He said he from some claim office. at the end of the message he said good luck.

Folks, IT IS A SCAM!!!  No one is coming to arrest you.  You will not go to jail.  You will not have your license or social security suspended.  If you did NOT receive WRITTEN documentation of a debt, you have NOT been notified.  As for coming to your home or job --don't bother making coffee for them  They are probably, in some cases, outside the United states.  If in doubt, contact your local court house (civil division).  They can reassure you.

I got the same msg from the same person in the last 2 days, I have called this number so that my account was red flagged and that my account was no longer in there office. I have done collection for 10yrs and know all the ends and outs and the gray area in what to say..so this is a scam and I will be reporting them as the man I was talking to yelled at me and hung up, so I called back and went off on a gentleman and told them I was going to report them as they violated the F.D.C.P.A..don't mess with me*fightingback*

I laughed when I heard the msg that I was going to be served no later than 4pm ..Really???? No one calls you to serve you papers<----I'm not an idiot...LOLOLOLO

Got a voice message that someone would be out in 48 hours to have me signs some papers because they called several times and got no response. I called the number back and spoke with a gentleman who said I had the option to pay over 1600 dollars or got to court. Then he put me on hold and proposed an offer of 500 dollars 100 of which I had to give them a card number so they could take the money. I told them I didn't have a card number or bank account and he sais if I don't call back by noon tomorrow they will proceed....is this a scam?

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.
