This is a company that obtained an old list for people that applied for a cash advance loan.  They pray on peoples inability to remember whether or not they paid these funds back.  Some people panic thinking that they will get into trouble and without question will pay it.  Unfortunately they take advantage of those not understanding exactly what it is.  I am a Florida PI and have interacted with these people.  These days they are using English speaking people rather than Egyptian style accents....They are getting smart....

called asking to verify my where abouts  if unable to verify they where permitted by law to contact all of my references
I have no idea who these people are

I just got the same call saying the same thing. The company won't even identify themselves.  I told them I had no idea who they were looking for and they said my number would be removed from their list.

They called my ex husband DAILY and told him they were the Federal Mortgage Recovery group and they were looking for me. I have not had a mortgage in 15 years and did NOT default on that mortgage ever.

I was contacted by a female caller representing this company. I called back and asked who they were and who they were representing all she would say is We are trying to locate someone. The person was very rude, would not tell me the nature of the call and hung up. I truly believe this is a scam. Be Careful.

Also known as World Wide Processing Group LLC and they are located at 5817 South Park Ave, Hamburg NY 14075 and have a PO Box 2474 Blasdell NY 14219. The owners name is Frank Ungaro and the Director of Operations is Nick Curtis.

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.

They called my brother, who I never give out his number for anything looking for me. So he tried calling them back and got no one so he gave me the number and I called and left a message yesterday. So they call me saying that I have defaulted on a payday loan back in 2013. For one I've never had a payday loan and or a bank account at the bank they said money was deposited into, So I today I will be contacting the authorities. I feel sorry for the people that fall for this crap.

Yes they are. How can I go about having my info removed from there system? They are saying that I had money deposited back in April 20, 2013 into a Bank of Oklahoma account. For one I've never had a bank of Oklahoma account or applied for a payday loan. They said it was a timey matter and needed to be taken care of asap or a fraud case would be open and charges filed against me.

Debts are civil and not criminal matters. Tell them this the next time they call. While you are at it, let them know you are aware of your rights, they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and you will see them in court if they persist with their lies and bullying.

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).

They have again left a long message. I called back and I was very nasty and told them to stop calling my phone. I have no debt so it is a scam.

As a PI, do you have the ability to get authorities involved to stop this? They have freaked out my entire family to include my ex-husband and his brothers. I have right out confronted them and told them I know it's a scam and all I keep getting from them is that they will file suit which I have told them I would love to see. Now when they call, since they have my maiden name, I just tell them I'm not here.

Dirt bags. Whole family getting calls. Looking for my disabled daughter. She sure doesn't need this

Left message saying they were looking for my whereabouts. Said they were going to call my people on file. They ne er said who they werr or exactly what they were trying to find or get. My feeling total scam artists

They called and threatened to have me arrested because of a payday loan I never took out in new York, got the cops involved and they "miraculously", they erased my debt and will not contact me again...

I had these people call both my parents and try to get all my information from the both of them! Both let them have it. I don't have debt/ home loan. They had also threatened both of my parents and told them that I would be arrested

These con artists are preying on disabled people they've been harassing my entire family including my ex husband! They're trying to say I owe money for something but can't say what and threatened my step mom with pressing charges against her for not giving out my number and myself for not paying this bill that they can't seem to know anything about they just want hundreds of dollars for no reason other than to gain financially off disabled Americans!! They need caught and jailed!!

Looking for someone named Benjamin, with my same last name, Never heard of him.  I have asked them to remove my number three times, today the young man was so rude, I wanted to reach through the phone and throat punch him.    How many more calls do I have to tolerate before they leave me alone???
