I was called, on my cell, from 855-825-6024 with an unintelligible message, the only recognizable words were "...legal process...".

The first time I called back, I asked what kind of organization that this was and was immediately asked for my name. When I asked them what they were again, they hung up.

I tried one more time and was put on terminal "HOLD" ... I hung up after 7 minutes

This person has been calling frequently and is very rude.  He has called my daughter in North Carolina and also sister-in-law.
Stated he was filing charges in Baltimore County Circuit Court.  Called the court and  no such case no exists.  These people are scam artists and I have a probable cause that he is associated with a certain individual since all she knows is scams and she lives right here in Maryland.  This has got to stop.  Have been advised of these people they even had me upset when I had cancer and stated they did not care about my condition like I said very rude and relentless people.

I had the similar thing happen to me. But when I called them back she had said they went to wrong address and if I made arrangements that they could atop the person delivering the papers. I have also 2 others ai called collections agencies collecting on the same thing so what do I do. HELP.

LM of UR called my wife's family with the same crap, saying that she needs to contact them before she goes to jail for a debt. Caught on to it though, scam!!!!

Debt scammers.  Do not talk to them.  Ignore them.  Block their calls.  DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY OR INFORMATION.   If they have a valid debt tell them to send you a debt validation letter by US Mail.  E-mail no good.  Do not pay anyone anything.

I recieved a call today on my mothers phone.. The man who called name was Steven Jackson. He lm stating he was from the fraud dept and needed a call back. Very threatening caller and leaving my personal information on  my mom's # is not ok with me. WOW! I CANT BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE..... HE STATED IF I DIDNT CALL BACK TODAY HE WAS GOING TO TURN MY FILE INTO THE COURTS AND HAVE ME ARRESTED FOR CHECK FRAUD..

U call them back

Why should anyone call extortion scammers back?

You cannot be arrested for ordinary civil debt in the US.   Debt collectors have no power of arrest, nor do they have any influence with law enforcement.  This is a total scam by a company that used to be known as Landmark.

That's another thing these scammers do, tell you that you are going to be arrested for check fraud.  If you had written a bad check the bank would notify you NOT some scammy debt collectors.  Usually the bank will work out a settlement with the bank patron and that's the end of it.  If you are going to be arrested for check fraud, you actually have to WRITE A CHECK.  Bad check charges are dealt with by the DA and the police, not some debt collector.  These damn scammers tell you that a bad debt has somehow magically transformed itself into a bad check charge and the scammer is the first to notify you of this magical transformation.

Total load of nonsense.  

They’re using the same old bag of tricks.
They :
1) Try to scare people into paying debts they don't owe. They know social security numbers, driver's license numbers and old bank account numbers.
2.  Call employers  
3.  Take advantage of these borrowers' vulnerability .  They go after women, single mothers and anybody they think is vulnerable.
4.  Constantly threaten to “serve” you with court papers.

They are basically phonies, posing as  bill collectors  and cold calling and  accusing people of not repaying payday loans. They threaten  arrest  continually.  They tell victims that they’ll be arrested  if their victims  don't immediately make a payment or provide bank account or credit card numbers.
Sometimes the pretend to be lawyers or members of law  firms or fake government agencies telling them they owe money to a payday loan company and threatening them with legal action.
Ignore them if they call you.
Report them.

number i was to call back was 855-203-0266 saying something about fraud and this and that and their client saying they are taking me to court in a county i dont live in. I hung up on the rude person they called back on a 214-390-9213 number which is fake they are trying to make it look like they are in your area. Do not give them a cent they are not licensed nor are they bonded to even collect a debt.

Micheal Barnett called me and said that my son Jose who works for ____ and his social security number is _____ which I do not know where he got his social security number, maybe his employers gave it to him. Well anyway he said that the authorities were going to be knocking on our door for him, I was so upset and told him that I would like for him to send the authorities to our house I  would love to tell them what is going on. He said that my son was doing check fraud, my son has never wrote a check in his life, he uses his debit bank card, and we went to his financial institution who also said that it is a scam.

I got a call stating that my file was be sent out to the county I live in. What do I need to do.

They called me today and told me my file was being sent out to the county I live in. Do I need to worry.

Report them to the Federal Trade Commission for violations of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Act also to the Consumer Protection Agency and your state's Attorney General's Consumer Protection Agency.

These people are scum bags of the lowest order.

I think landmark has changed names.

Moreover, bad checks are dealt with by a Federal Agency, not even the county DA. They are full of it. They called my sister and had my mother freaking out things I was going to jail. "Why would they say 'fraud.'" I tried my best to put her at ease. I wasn't worried in the least. I'm glad I found this site to confirm what I was already thinking.
