866-252-3492

Part 2: America, after further investigation of this so-called Collection Agency; it was disclosed that these people have tried this same method with other people across the country. I called so-called R and J Consulting Firm (#888-863-9125) to ask for their address. Here is the address: 26025 Newport Rd., Suite A- - 469, Menisee, CA 92584. I googled this address and guess what came up-----The UPS Store (WOW). I called Steve James and questioned him about this; he danced around the question for a few seconds, then came up with an answer......It's their processing center yall. He actually told me  he was trying to help me....(really). I don't know about you readers, but I don't believe a legitimate "Consulting Firm" will have their physical address listed as the UPS store; unless they are running from something (the truth).  I could be wrong or right. I'm playing it safe.  Be Smart America; Crooks are trying to get YOUR MONEY; Protect it. Protect your credit.

FYI - R&J is operating under a new 888 number, as seen previously in this thread.  I received a phone call today from a "Mike Costa", tel# (508) 499-7127 claiming to work for United Processing Services.  He told me that I had 2 hours to call (888) 863-9125 and reference the case# that he gave me or a summons was going out tonight for me to appear in civil court.  He would not disclose the debt, so of course the red flags went up.  So I called the 888#, which they answered as R&J Consulting and was connected to "Esther Burton".  She was seeking personal info from me, which I refused, and she refused to tell me what my debt was.  I filed a complaint with the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, and I would suggest that you all do the same.  It only takes a minute and these people are crooks and need to be reported.

Called showing information new birthdate, last of social and address was from O8 said was not my debt seeded to argue with me said I could do three different options when asked them did not not number or address would send it to processing and would contact me

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 received an email from brocktonmooreconsulting.com, no such site and the email came from an IP address in Missouri
FYI

Did you find out what's really up with these people?

THIS IS A SCAM!!!   I just received the same type of call.  Call came from 862) 234-7356   The person said he just wanted to "let me know that a civil case was being filed against me".  He didn't have any information but that I needed to call (855) 313-5797 and reference my case number that he provided (2 letters, 4 digits) and they could give me more information regarding this legal matter since they are the ones handling the case. I called but obviously I was skeptical and started researching while on hold and found this info online about the scam.  My call was transferred after I provided my case number to "Timothy Clark" . He provided my correct info (which was scary): debt was in my maiden name and he gave my married name now, my DOB and last 4 of my SSN which he asked if each was correct before he could "proceed".  He stated a debt from Telco Communications.  Account opened in 2002, defaulted in 2005 and charged off in 2008 for $217.00!!!  Now with interest, penalties, etc the debt is now $535.  Said they sent a demand letter certified 30 (or 45) days ago (no, they didn't) and I told him I never received anything. He said he would let his superior know so they could go ahead and pause the case from moving forward and asked if they could email or fax the letter to me. I said, no, I need it US mail. He asked if I received it, would I be inclined to take care of the debt then and I said I'd have to run it by my attorney first and that this whole thing sounds very suspicious that they are chasing a $200 debt from 7 years ago!! He then changed his tone, wasn't talking to his superior anymore and said he would like to wish me the best of luck but they will move forward witht he case/court summons and I will be getting served in the next 7-10 days.
I LOOKED UP THE ADDRESS AND IT IS A UPS STORE!! THE ADDRESS ON THEIR SITE IS A PO BOX!!!!!

Short version, SCAM! Don't give them a thing! Long version of my experience, read on.

Received a call from "Brockton Moore Consulting Services" through a third party who was "contracted to place the initial call", "United Process", but couldn't provide any information. Called back and spoke with "Travis" who had some fairly accurate information for a old Sprint account we had. (Which was closed and paid in full back in 2006) "Travis" stated I was being named in a civil suit to collect a debt of over $700 owed to Sprint. I told him this was the first I had heard about owing Sprint any money for the old, closed account. I was told they had sent legal process to 3 separate addresses, all of which were accurate. I advised him that we didn't receive said processes. "Travis" insisted that we could take care of the entire matter, "with out legal processes proceeding" for about half of the the owed amount. I told him I wouldn't be providing any form of payment over the phone to a company that I didn't know was legitimate. I requested copies of all of the documentation they had previously sent, as well as copies of all documentation they had in regards to the debt. After a few minutes of him attempting to debate over the documentation I should have already, he politely stated that they would be sent out and that I should receive them in 7 to 10 days. I told him after I reviewed it I would contact him. (Keep in mind this was about a 30 minute conversation)

I contacted Sprint customer service and after about another 30 minutes of explanation of the situation, was handed off to Sprints Fraud Department. Once explained, their helpful staff pulled up everything they had on the account in question and verified that it had been paid in full and closed. They suggested that I contact the consulting service and verify the account number attached to the claim since they had originally provided me with only the old phone number.

So I called them back. "Travis" suddenly had some issues finding my file, when I request the full account number associated with the debt. (Sprint provides it with ANY debt the sell off to ANY collection agency) Finally he finds my "file" and provided an "account number" (it was 1 # short). While I have "Travis" on the phone I ask him a few more questions. (I really want to get this resolved) Full mailing address, you guessed it, the PO Box address in California. I then asked for the name of the attorney who was handling the case. I got a bit of run around on this. "We have lawyers on retainer... they're not all here... it's not actually assigned until it's forwarded to our processing center", and on and on. I reminded him that on the previous call, he told me "the lawyer had sent legal process 30 days ago", and that I wanted the name of the lawyer assign to the debt case. "Sean Bradley" was finally the answer I got. Great! Next question, what is his BAR #? Ummmmm, what? You know, the lawyer, Sean? What is his BAR #? After almost a full minute of silence he determines he doesn't have that information. Ok, what's his phone number? "Well he's at our offices here so you can just call back on the number you called on" Nice, does he have a direct line? Ummmm, I can patch you into his voice mail. No, that's not what I want, what is his direct phone line number? Just a minute I'll get it. AND Boom, I'm sent to voice mail. Voice mail for.....wait for it....."Justin Lawer". WAIT WHAT??

Call Sprint Fraud Department back. Give them the account number provided. Yeah bogus (missing 1 number). More research by the Fraud Department, and they can find nothing on any account, EVER associated with me, that had ANY issue with payment, more less a $700 plus issue.

TRY to call "Travis" back. Got hung up on by the "receptionist" almost immediately after I gave them their little case number. Called back a second time, and suddenly "Travis" is out of the office and I get voice mail.

SCAM folks. No two ways about it.

Supposedly Brockton Moore consulting called me from this number telling me I needed to settle with them for three hundred and seventy six dollars for a tmobile account I had in 2006...I did have an account with them at one time, but I did not remember the date. As of now,  I have a perfect credit score, which they told me if I did not pay them this money , they would report it to the credit agency, which I didn't want. I gave them my debit card number, and they took the money out of my account...I am finding out now that is is not a legitimate company...they have several different 1800 numbers that they call from...they are not registered with the bbb. Watch out for this!! They seem very legitimate and their website that they send a response email from looks very real...don't be fooled!!!!!

First, file a fraud report with your bank and cancel your debit card and get a new one.  Then file reports after reading this, everything you need to know is here (yes they violated several FDCPA laws):

Address is (gasp) UPS store, who woulda’ guessed?
They have no registration in any state as would be required by law to conduct business.
This is a common ploy by criminals attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, etc. all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.
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.

This is the slimiest, nastiest scam going.  The "female" who hung up on me upon her suggestion of getting her supervisor was sharp tongued and sounded illiterate.  Sick group of losers!

LOSERS!!!!  Don't even waste your time calling these scum bags back.  I had my attorney call them and inquire about the numerous threats to sue me that were left on my answering machine.  I also had my wife call to get information.  With each attempt, they were hung up on.  Beware of this name and number that they are soliciting with:
James Campbell
1-844-255-8118

I leave you with the number as it is very difficult to understand on the messages.  I encourage you to contact your phone carrier and local police to file a complaint against them.  Phone harrassment and verbal threats are ILLEGAL!!!!

Amen Andrew. I just got hit by the same scam. Thanks for the post.

Guy name daniel called me on Fri June 5th said I owed money to sprint which I haven't had in 12 years.  Told Me Someone Would Serve Me With Papers If I Didn't Give My Bank Info

I received a voice mail yesterday to call that exact same number, they said they were attempting their first of three attempts to serve me papers for a civil suit.
