Got a call today saying that they are from LSA and gave me a claim number and needed my to call or my legal attorney to call. Any one have any info

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

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 the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
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. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

I got the same call???

I got the same call on my job today 3/13/15

Does anyone have any info on these fools, like an address, full name of company or something like that.?? I'm sick of it !

Received same phone call. They even harassed my husband at his work. I called and told them to stop hart adding me and my husband. Scam callers and I will ignore

I told them to stop calling and harassing  me and my husband. Scam callers and I will report them to FBI

Company name is LSA

I keep getting a call saying that I owe 600 for a loan back in 10 and when I asked why are theyes now reaching out he stated it was coming to the end of time where they can and if I don't pay they will press charges.. asked why I never got any paper and they stated they have so many claims they didn't send them out... scammers

I keep on getting the same call over and over again.  Who is LSA? I guess i will report them to the CFPB!

Who are these people do anybody have any address or any information on LSA? They called threatening me and said that they were going to take me to jail and forward my claim to my local county courthouse if i didn't repond by the end of the day! What shall I do?

They are calling my mom harassing her same number and company name and asking my my phone number. They say I wrote a bad check, I'm 25 and I've never had to write a check most places I go don't even take them.

I continue receiving the same calls and they are now harassing my sister-in-law for my information.

The Company LSA or Lion (Lyon?) Stone Acquisitions.  Spoke with a Matthew Scott today.  I asked for an address and he said that they don't have one.  That they are a "green" company and that they don't send out mailed letters, or receive mailed letters!! Really??  Any way asked for a validation letter.  They said they would email me one.  We'll see if they actually send it. I am still going to try and get a physical address for them so that I can send them a "legal" request for validation.  Email doesn't satisfy the legal way of validation of debt.

Apparent wrong number. Transcript of call: Hello Ms. Brown, I'm calling from the office of LSA, this message is intended for Bob ?. This is in regard to charges being filed against him advance to contact him to obtain a statement on file in his defense, it you are his legal representative return this call in 48 hours or it will be forwarded to Richland County for further proceedings.

I got this same message, but a different number!!! The debt they are trying to collect I know I owe, but it's been almost 6 years since I did this and the company went under... the recording when you call says one thing and then they represent as Lsa ??? Does anyone have info yet ?
