855-360-0658

Said they were a law firm, filing a complaint against a Dawn Turner.  The complaint number was not even an official court case number for the state I live in.  Upon doing more research, this number belongs to a collection agency, acting as a law firm, trying to intimidate and bully people.

Man has called my family and friends (on facebook!!) all day long. Even my mother who was in the hospital two days ago with heart issues. Leaving voicemails telling them I am in violation for not showing up for court and he has papers to serve on me. I have no idea if this is old medical bill or what...but must be collections?? I have a government clearance so I cannot owe people nor can I not show up for court. I'm getting calls from people worried sick. If this number calls you hang up after advising them of your rights not to be harassed!!!!!!! Number shows as unknown or 855-360-0658

A man called my phone today and left a message on my voicemail saying that his name is Harvey, a process server in the county in which I live. The phone number showed as an unknown number on my phone, but in the voicemail, the phone # given to call was 855-360-0658. The man in the voicemail stated that he was calling to serve a summons to me and that I was to call this number and give them a docket number, which he provided (and which doesn't match docket #'s for the state in which I live). I called back and spoke with a man who says his name is Ray Jackson. This debt is a VERY old debt and when I mentioned statute of limitations, he tried to "cite" me for breach of contract and said the statute is for the date the credit card company charged off the debt, which is incorrect. When he was told that I am married and needed to contact my husband, he then began threatening to put a judgment against my husband as well and to levy our bank accounts. I have done some research on this and also contacted an attorney, whom I will see on Monday. The company name is supposedly Longberg (spelling?) Legal Services. I have found no such name online. This Ray Jackson stated that he sent out a letter "about" 3 weeks ago advising me of this debt. I received no such letter. People, please do your research. Do not give this man any money.

A man named Harvey called and left a message on my voicemail today, stating he is a process server for the county in which I live, calling about a summons to appear in court. He gave me a "docket number" and said I should call the "issuing agency" at 855-360-0658. The # this "Harvey" called from is an unknown #, so it showed "unknown" on my caller id. I am surprised he left a message. I did and was transferred to Ray Jackson. He cited my social and address several times and when asked what this is in regards to, he cited an old credit card debt that I have from years back. This debt has past the statute of limitations for my state and I told him this. He argued with me and said the statute begins to run at the time the debt is charged of, which is not true. He threatened to levy my bank accounts and to even put a judgment against my husband. We have consulted an attorney in regards to this just on principle. My husband called and had to call back because they wouldn't speak to him at first. They kept demanding a "docket number." The company this Ray Jackson says he was calling from is Longberg (spelling?) Law Services. I was unclear as to whether they were claiming to be a debt collector or a law firm, or both.

It's a scam. The caller is a criminal and is telling lies hoping to scare people into sending money by Western Union or some other untraceable method. Read the posts on the home page of this website to see what people are saying.

"Man has called my family and friends (on facebook!!) all day long." -- illegal to do this

Tell you family and friends the guy is a criminal scammer and to hang up immediately after he starts his lies. They have no obligation to listen to him. Or any scammer.

There are so many of the calling scams going on that the upper management of all businesses need to be aware and to proactively protect their employees while the employees are at the job.

That's a boiler room scam operation trying to scare people into sending them money using Western Union or other untraceable methods.

"We have consulted an attorney in regards to this just on principle."

You should have told him you have given the information to your attorney and that from now on, the "debt collector" must communicate only with the lawyer.

There are so many things the scammers said that is wrong ... starting with claiming to be a process server !

WARNING: THE PEOPLE CALLING FROM NUMBER 1-855-360-0658 ARE DEBT COLLECTORS! THEY ARE NOT ATTORNEYS NOR ARE THEY LEGAL SERVICES OF ANY KIND. THEY SAY THEY ARE LEGAL SERVICES AND CLAIM TO HAVE SERVED PEOPLE PAPERS FROM COURT TO FRIGHTEN PEOPLE INTO PAYING THEM MONEY ON TIME BARRED DEBT. THEY ARE LIARS. DO NOT PAY THESE PEOPLE ANYTHING. WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS ILLEGAL. IT IS AN ILLEGAL DEBT COLLECTION SCHEME! (my story is below)

I received a message on my voicemail left on April 29, 2015 from a woman speaking very quickly saying she was calling from a Law Firm and that I was being sued and she stated that the Law Office had sent out a "Court Official" (her words exactly) to my address to serve me the court paperwork. She then quickly left a number which was 1-855-360-0658 for me to call and a file number. I called the number and was asked for the file number and then I was immediately transferred to a very stern sounding fellow and I asked what Law Firm was I calling and he never answered the question and said they were "legal services" and that I was being sued for an Aspire Visa Card in the amount of almost $5000.00. I knew the Aspire Visa Card Debt was time barred as it was no longer on my credit (the debt was from either 2003 or 2004 and here it is 2015.) and I told the man the debt was time barred. He then asked me to verify my social and then strangely gave the last four of my social before I could verify it. He then said I had to be 'in court next week' and I told him that what he was saying was bunk and hung up as I knew the debt was time barred.

However, I decided to call back and call his bluff and I again was transferred to the same guy and I asked him "ok sir, what court is it?" and he was angry and said he 'wouldn't tell me' because I had hung up on him. Now no one had served me any paperwork and he refused to give me the name of his "Law Firm" simply stating they were "Legal Services" and he refused to give me the name of the court.

Also, the balance was way wrong. I had a credit limit of under $1000.00. How did I owe $5000.00?
I told him I knew he was calling from a collection agency on time barred debt and he said "oh the clock doesn't start ticking on debt until it is removed from the credit report. Not when the first payment is due.". WHAT BUNK! I hung up on him. And breathed a sigh of relief. Collection agencies stopped frightening me years ago. I know how to deal with them, educated myself on their tactics and industry and can anticipate what scheme they are running very quickly.

No id phone call called and ask if i will be at my work address today to be served.  Gave me this number to save the shame of being served at work?  Do not have a clue?

These people are criminals.  Don't give them any money.  Check to see if Western Portfolio Assets has pulled your credit report and if they have, call the credit reporting agency, ask to speak to their fraud department, and tell them it is a fraudulent credit inquiry.  They will tell you that it is a permissible purpose, that Western Portfolio is a collections agency.  Then tell them that they are scammers who call everyone they can find who's connected to you and are calling them telling them they are process servers and are serving you with papers for a lawsuit.  Tell them you are concerned that they are illegally posing as a legitimate collection agency and are using that to pull credit reports and get information on people that they can then use to try to extort money.  Then, call your local police and file a complaint.  Also, call your state's attorney general and file a complaint.  Finally, call the state of California and report these people as conducting criminal activity so they can be shut down:

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) 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 receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Who are these people ? Surely their tactics can't be legal !!! Have been getting calls from a RAY JACKSON saying he's from the "law office" yet he fails to mention what law office he supposedly works for. Think it's for an old debt of my husband's (that is time barred)! Do research, do not give this man ANY money !!
