They called today asking for my grandmother. Said they were trying to get ahold of her to get her court ordered summons. It was a blocked call but the guy gave me this number for her to call. When she called it the woman kept asking for her social security number, and when she refused to give it she gave out 2 seperate 4 last digits. Neither were hers. When she stated that she was going to contact the police, the woman told her good luck with that. We contacted the FTC, they took more information than the dang scam asked for, now we're getting an unlisted number.

Tried to serve me papers at my SISTER'S house, and when I called them, after trying to get information out of them, they pulled out an old credit card account I may have had in 2003 (I truly do not remember) and the 1000 balance is now 3000...and they said I am going to court over it. After I laughed, I am looking for numbers to call and report this scam.

these people keep calling me harrassing and have solicited my credit card # are calling my job threatening to send a summons and have sent one to my job. CAN THEY DO THIS?!  I don't know what to do!

They are currently investigating the Corona Scam.

Reports are they got sued for $10 Million in West Virginia, and LOST.
Should be some people showing up in Corona soon to clean them up.

Probably will take a RICO suit to connect them all back together and pierce the corporate veil to sieze assets.

About 30 min. ago I received a call with information referred to in the other posts. The female calling me said everything (almost verbatim) as is listed in the other posts. She also gave me a docket number and the county it was filed in. I could tell she wasn't from my area when she couldn't pronounce the name of the county correctly!! I told her the person she was looking for was in Arizona with her daughter and although I don't have a phone number for her, I could give her the email address, and she didn't want it. She said she'd give me 3 hours to contact the person and I said I'd need more time.. like maybe a week, and the caller said she'd put a hold on the process serving. I then called my local county court, city court, and small claims court to see if the docket number belonged to them.. and, of course, it did not. I then called the county sheriff's department, my town police department, and the city police department and reported what had occurred. I then called 2 local TV stations and alerted them to this scam and they will be alerting the public for the next few days! The only way to stop these scum-suckers is to report them. They purchase old charged-off accounts (credit card, etc.) for pennies on the dollar and then threaten people to pay the full amount of the charged-off balance PLUS interest which can amount to thousands of dollars. DO NOT RETURN THE PHONE CALL; DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM; REPORT THEM TO YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITIES! (Yes, I know that was all in caps.... for a good reason!)

"They purchase old charged-off accounts (credit card, etc.) for pennies on the dollar and then threaten people to pay the full amount of the charged-off balance PLUS interest which can amount to thousands of dollars. "

There are indications across many consumer complaints that they aren't even doing that.


Numerous complaints report attempts to collect on unowed, already paid, or nonexistent "debt", or claiming some "debt" was owed that sounded similar to an old account that would be visible on credit reports.  Other complaints are reporting attempts to demand payments on "HSBC" or "First National Bank of Delaware" accounts from people who never did business with those bankd.

This is consistent with a con, basically making up "debt", or pretending an old account is "owed" to them.  There would not be such high levels of complaints of entirely unowed "debt" if they were actually buying old debt.

Fraudulent, faked "debt" collection is also consistent with their tactics of calling and threatening relatives, pretending to be a "process server", threatening arrest, never providing validation, and attempting to coerce payment without any proof, especially when people find no lawsuit has actually been filed.

recieved call sayin that i had to pay money owed to credit card company  if not payed will sue me for 4,000 dollars

They called me saying they were calling from my local courthouse saying I was going to be served papers. The # came up as 18220-they gave me other # as 1-866-727-3113 said as well where calling from my local courthouse trying to settle on a credit card.

i was told my husband had been suid for a bill in 2004 .he would have to pay now or deal with the D.A.   then he said I could make payments on it.So I gave him my ck. acc.# like a dummy.So to make  a long story short I had to close my acc. so today oct.12,2011 they called and said he comitted  fraud and would have to call back and talk to the d.a. they would send some kind of papers to his workplace

The "lawsuit" is as bogus as their allegation of "fraud".
Don't hold your breath waiting to "talk to the DA".
They are running a con.

If you haven't already done so, dispute any charges to your account through your bank as fraudulent.

Contact FTC.

They were just sued by FTC.  A TRO and asset freeze is in effect.
