855-344-0527

Weird call.  Someone saying I'm the emergency contact for my brother in law and they're trying to serve him with a county summons and provided a case number.  Case is supposedly sealed, so she didn't have any details.  So what would she be calling him about if she didn't know the details of the case?

If it's legit (and I say this because a LOT of scammers like to throw around words like "warrant," "summons," and so forth) then you should be able to look it up by the case number in the county where your brother lives.

I would guess, though, it was a skip trace call, and this is a debt collector looking to get your brother to pay something, whether it's legit or not.

FYI, I just used a Google voice number to call, and the person who answered said "corporate offices how may I direct your call?" When I asked WHAT offices, he said "for three different companies" and refused to give me the names. That also doesn't sound legit. At all.  That said, LOL the guy who answered got PISSED when I wouldn't give him my name. *snort* Silly scammers.

Today is October 8, 2013. I received a call on my job from a company by the name of BMTG and Associates claiming they were about to serve me papers to appear in court about a debt. the caller said her name is Lisa Stanfield. The call back number she gave me was 1-855-344-0527 and a docket number Tx31160.

Got the same call, that they where going to serve papers on me at work...The part that was funny, when I did call the number, The same thing, they didn't give me name of company, But they had way to much information on me that scared me. They went though this little speech, when told me they where going to put me on hold to stop the papers from being served. Came back and tried their best to get me to pay it off, then tried to get a payment. Which the account they where calling on was a Credit card that had been put in my name, and I never had. I had fought it years ago, and refused to pay it then, and still not going to pay it. They should not have let someone had the card then try to collect from me. But they put it against me anyway, but it will never get paid. Looking the number up when I got home, this is what I found *The area code and exchange pair you entered doesn't seem to be valid. Please make sure you entered it correctly.*  They called me back later last night, with a blocked number, left a message, to let talk and make a payment. Leaving me a phone number of 714-221-8136, looking it up it said it was a cell number in Pa, now looking it up it is a land line in Orange, CA. When they left message at work the name of company was Legal Courier Services, when they called me last night and left messages name was BMTG and Associates...

Given that they have "way too much" information on you it sounds like you're the victim of identity theft.

Identity thieves nowadays don't always try to "take over" your identity, run up bills, make charges on your credit cards, etc. It's not hard for law enforcement to track them down if they do this. So what they do is try to leverage the information they have on you to make YOU cough up money.  They stand a much better chance of avoiding arrest that way.

The business about "papers" being served is a common ploy. Harassing you at work is also a frequent tactic.

You should contact your local law enforcement and read the 800notes page on  what to do when your identity is stolen: https://800notes.com/arts/MM8EKwmEhQA/9-thing ... identity-stolen

Pay your bills so that you won't have to deal with these companies.

OHAI THAR SHILL. (Not) nice to see you.  Perhaps YOU can tell us what company this is calling, since, yanno, you work there, or why you all are using illegal tactics?

Go on, don't be shy. Tell us.

What a creative handle to respond to "Hunter"- must have taken you a few seconds to come up with that one!!!!!  Of course your message is the old broken record that NO ONE here believes.  Why not go "hunting" for another website to add your brilliant rhetoric?????

IF you had bothered to READ the post, you would KNOW THEY ARE NOT HIS BILLS.

But, since you seem to be FOR the company, why don't you enlighten all of us as to the correct spelling, street address, local telephone number, and CEO of the company?!

*STOMP!STOMP!* I don't know you, your credit history,if you owe the bill, or anything even remotely related to your financial status....but you should pay your bills, darnit!

Did I get it right, or did I miss anything ? You would think they'd learn.....but it's always the same. Let's forget that the company is calling innocent bystanders and using illegal tactics. Let's not ask whether the debt has been verified. We'll just assume it's owed, and spout off the same old song & dance.

Can't find ANY internet presence of a BMTG & Associates or BMTG and Associates.

WOW these people called my cousin, and my mother, but not me. Had my social, knew where i worked. They told me I owed HSBC (a credit card which i paid in full in 2010) $3,314.77. But I could settle "out of court" for half of that right now over the phone.

I then started telling him to send me that in writing, and ill view it with my lawyer. Then he told me I didnt have a lawyer, and to give him my lawyers name and number.

He then told me i dont pay my bills. LOL. Kept asking me if i was going to pay this, i told him send me everything in writing. He finally said he'll email it to me and i have 4 hours to pay it.

These people need to be stopped.

         That people had called in house. Started treating my wife, she almost had a hard attract. As they had told her that one of our neighbors had filled the claim against her. And she has to pay money right know  or she will be arrested in 24h and taken to custody.I had found for this call was on HSBC credit card that was unpaid... HSBC is different story: that was the first credit comp. that I could pay my bill. Cuz when the sent you bill for $16 and you send them back $75 check. They would take $16  and refund me back $59. When I got pissed and said: I had enough, I want to pay off my card and close it now! They took my credit card charged transaction free $18 and told me that he's not authorized to take that kind payment! Dah! Send me total bill and I will send you check! In 2 months I had received bill for  $850. U_U
  My wife had bad knowledge of this stuff so she got really depressed... I had to take off from my job, get home take of my wife. And call them, that animals couldn't even answer my questions. But they had info that was sent to HSBC. Credit card was for $350 they had asked $1865.28. I couldn't take it. All people do just treat and they wanna get paid NOW! I told them I have to talk to my lawyer.
