My sister recieved a voicemail today from a lady with this number. She stated that she has made numerous attempts to contact me but all numbers were disconnected  (same number since 2002 when i was 14). The voice mail stated i have pending lawsuit and either me or my attorney needed to call back before further actions are taken. I have yet to call, but have a feeling its a scam.

Criminals masquerading as debt collectors attempt to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged (they use the bad check or hot check claim a lot) and go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished without actually being sued or going to court, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this, all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  One of the tricks they use is to call your family, friends, neighbors and/or places of employment (past or present or both) to create panic and embarrassment so that their intended victim calls them and they can scare that person into paying their extortion money.  They will use the words “Mediator”, “Arbitrator”, or “Law Office” to make you believe that they are something other than a debt collector want-a-be and that they don’t have to follow Federal and State collection laws.  They do have to follow those laws, but they won’t.  They mention that they have received a Fax document, to create the sense of urgency.  They also tell you that if you fail to call them back you are "waiving your right to council", which is pretty much nothing but hogwash.  They also use the “process server” ruse who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number where they will ask for money to “make it go away” (this is actually the same place, they work in teams, one pretending to be the server, and the other usually pretends to be a lawyer).  Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them.  Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

This number has contacted me as well they are legit they are a debt collector i recieved information on a bridesmaid dress i didnt pay for they sent me the legal paperwork and set up payments with you until your debt is paid off then they send you a legal confirmation paper stating you have paid yoyr debt off. Not all debt collectors are scammers their office is out of illinois.

...this site must be cutting into your scammy profits, huh?  Previous posters have stated that this caller is a scammer attempting to get them to pay bills they don't owe, have already paid, or are attempting to get them to pay bills allegedly owed by other people.  Nice going - your post has burned this number for your employers!

SHILL Alert.  
So what brings you here?  Doing some damage control, maybe?  You are not here looking up an number, you came to spread your lies.  And your post is a word for word copy that other shills have been using, standardized BS.

Really?  Glad to hear it.  Problem is, I can't find this group anywhere.   Kindly give us the name and address of this wonderful group of debt collectors you dealt with.  Also, the Secretary of State of Illinois has no record of this group.  At least that I can find.

I had to got thru like 3 agencies to find these guys, Deville asset mangement, then cornerstone recovery  and finally I was on a phone with a Lawrenceville Mason. Took like 3 hours, I'm not a shill as I work for verizon. So I'm not here to hype these guys, because I looked on here and seen some [***] posts. But hate to break the bad news, but they are real. They must be legit if they get there debt thru these groups because they verified and I paid them. SO?????? can't wait to see what u post about me. Lololol

So, then you should have no problem posting their name, and legally verifiable address, right?  It was printed on the correspondence you received from them via USPS, right?

And they dealt wit my attorney Ramsey and associates. And my attorney was satisfied and checked it out. So I guess my attorney is a moron?

*Ramsell not ramsey

Interesting how you are dodging the question about the name and legally verifiable address.  That is a behavior peculiar to shills.  You mention 2 collection agencies, when there is a third involved. So,who did you pay and what is their legally verifiable address?  I doubt you will provide that information.

Lemonhead, please respond to Mr. Yoda's question "So, then you should have no problem posting their name, and legally verifiable address, right?  It was printed on the correspondence you received from them via USPS, right?"

Why would you engage a law firm that specializes in DUI cases?

You still haven't provided the name and legally verifiable address of those you pai, we're waiting...

Typical shill behavior.  You have been busted.  I hope you will soon be the recipient of a pretty red stamp.

FIVE PAGES of complaints and you are happy????

You're attempting to run damage control for a known scammer.  Too bad, so sad for you!  Good day, scammer!
