They say they are trying to locate an individual concerning an unpaid debt. Their locators called 7 people that I know concerning 1 individual and were extremely rude. Philips and Roth changed their phone number to this one. They have a D rating with the BBB and actions seem suspicious. Some people might give in and send them money after being brow beaten, but I suggest more research being done on any alleged debt they are calling about.

thy just called me

They are FAKE... they are scammers. Do not give them any information. No website, no real address...no one has heard of them...

I have received threats from a 'locator' for Phillips and Roth stating that he would see me at my place of work and home address. They threaten legal action, yet they do not proceed with actions. They KNOW they would lose in court.

If you have been a victim of fraud and harassment by this company, contact your bank immediately. They can protect your bank account from any malicious charges. Alos, document everything and contact your State Attorney General.

Businesses like these need to be prosecuted for the criminals they are. They lie, harass, and scare people to get money from them. Money they do NOT deserve! I have been the victim of this type of fraud in the past. And I won! A 'collector' took $600 more than the loan I had received. Then, said I still owed them more. My bank stepped in and flagged all charges on my account from the company as a fraud.

Do not let them harass or threaten you. You DO have rights! And you have a right to be respected and NOT LIED to!

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.>

Been gettnig repeat calls from Phillip and Roth stating they will be coming to my residence and work to serve me papers. The person they kee asking for is not even me. When I called to tell them that, they insisted I knew this person and that they had only called 2 times, when I was looking at my phone with 7 recorded messages from them.
They said I would be removed from the list, however, they were EXTEMELY rude, especially when they were not even looking for me.

Seems very odd that this company is so open and willing to offer infromation on a collections account.

I say scam!

Yes, have recived threating calls from Sean James said they are coming to my residents and place of employment by such date . I was scared at first but what reading these other comments I know there not sure they are just a scam to get money out of you . I paid what paid loans I owed. Then when asking them they can't tell you anything . First all you send somebody something in the mail.

Just got a call from that number but they said they represented P and R..Mediation service....obviously the Philip and Roth referenced above...just a scam...threats....and repeated phone calls....no basis in fact...
