866-596-1702

I received a phone call today from "Mr. Washington" who said he was a legal analyst from the firm "Beckley, McCormick & Schmitt" regarding a STOP ACTION order against my late husband, who died in 1989 and that I needed to return his call within 48 hours to stop further action.    The call back number given was 866-596-1702, extension 6313

I got a call from a woman named "Janice" from this office who said she was calling regarding a pending case at extension 6312.  I called back and this extension was to another woman.  I called today again and now the extension is "invalid" and when I press 0 for the operator the call hangs up.

I keep recieving mesaages from a Mr. William Karmora at ext.6304 from the offive of Beckly Mccumick smith law office. When i called it was someones else vm not only that they are now calling my late brothers wife whom I have not spoken to in over 10 years. Called left message to find out what is all this foolishness about.

Call from a guy who speaks English like a rapper. Supposedly a pending case - 32 page document that he hasn't had a chance to review yet, that makes allegations that he doesn't believe (what a guy!). Thought he'd reach out to me because "I'm a fair guy and there are always 2 sides a story". Only has until Tuesday so it's very important that I call him back. Beckley, McCormick & Schmidt isn't listed anywhere on Google, in any type of organization, although it sounds super impressive. Maybe what he can do is reach me , especially with his 'Fiddy Cent' English. By the way, this scammer also calls from 202-792-3776, 213-444-0700, 213-458-7005, and 213-262-1300.Amazing what Google finds, isn't it?

He also forgot to mention that a voice mail is not considered legal notification. Do not call these scambags back. Do not interact with them. They try to sound 'scary and legal", but as another poster noted on another thread in this forum, do not respond to them in any way because they will continue to call you and make threats.

I received a call from a lady name Ms. Adams she said she was contacting me about a pending county complaint and stated that I owed $7432.  As you can imagine I was shocked and a bit hesitant to entertain a conversation about $7432 over the phone with out any documentations. How ever Ms. Adams was very helpful in providing me with all of the  information she should.. fast forwarding she was able to get me a settlement amount saving me over 72% and allowed me to make payments on the agreed amount.. I'm really grateful for all that Ms.Adams did to assist me with this matter..

I got the same Mr. Washington and my experience with him was quite pleasant. he was professional through out the call. At first I was reluctant but I realized that the information he provided was accurate. I did remember the loan , and he helped reduce penalties n interest to a minimum fr me. Basically he saved me over $706. I was cooperative and resolved the 5 year delinquent loan under my ssn#, got my documentation instantly to prove it. i actually learned a lot about these pay day loan companies. It will be the last time I ever take out another.
As Mr. Washington put it... I borrowed a finger and these legal loan sharks want my whole arm back with the penalties and interest.  So glad i got this behind me, but again I am sure if it wasn't for Mr. Washington I would've clearly been responsible for much more money.
Dodged that bullet!!

In any event,

Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.

If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:

1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  dime until the debt is validated

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.

If they are bothering you, report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)  The same goes for endless telephone harassment

Note that the US Supreme Court in the Case of HENSON ET AL. v. SANTANDER CONSUMER USA INC., has recently ruled that the provisions of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act do not apply if the creditor owns the debt in question.  As a practical matter this probably won't effect the kinds of scam debt collectors who often show up on 800notes.  The scam collectors don't give you any information about themselves so it is impossible to know whether or not they in fact "own" the debt in question.  Most do not send debt validation letters and many often say they are collecting for someone else.  So, make the complaint anyway if they are bothering you.  Let the FTC sort it out.

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you,  and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking).   the only thing they understand.

Dean Spencer with McCormick and Schmidt at extension 6306 keeps leaving messages about some sort of case against me.  Doesn't tell me specifically what type of case, just references a case number.  The number they tell me to call is 1-866-596-1702

Not real sure what the game is with these folks, but talked to 2 persons who would not provide any information what so ever.  Asked for legal documents and was advise to send them something to which I replied, you are required to send me something IN WRITING if requested. Not real smart and no registrations except what was shown.  Contacts in Atlanta could not find this as a law office.
Callers comment, "we will handle in the usual manner"

Wow....and you believed her? The number you received is connected to the scam number of 202-792-3776. Can't believe you fell for that scam. Why do you bother answering calls you don't recognize and even better call them back. Now they have all your personal info and you will never stop getting calls from all the other scammers they share it with. You just gave them free hard earned money of yours. Good luck trying to stop them now with all future payments. They are out of the country with your money.

Although it was an old  post, Stacy sounds like a SHILL!  They "they were helpful" is a dead giveaway.

Looks like "Stacy" also posted that day as "Phyllis A." as well, both of those posts were obviously made by scammers coming here to make people think that this con is legitimate.

Looks like the "owner" has another "business" in GA.

The address for Beckly comes back to a National Credit Educational Services and the Equity Marketing Group, both owned by a George Cole.
The address for New Era is a UPS store.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

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.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
List of State AG’s offices:   https://800notes.com/faq/attorney-general

You've just been scammed.  Now they have all your personal information and are going to wipe you out financially and you will not be able to track them to stop them.  If I were you I would immediately close my bank accounts.  How could you believe such nonsense with all these scammers out there.l

"Stacy" was not scammed.  She was sent here by these crooks to do damage control and to try to make people scared enough to believe all their lies.
