877-279-2186

These unprofessional individuals leave threatening voice-mails regarding a claim. I returned the call and was TOLD that I took out an online loan in 2012 and I owe this money (No amount was discussed) - it is now 2015. I have never taken out a loan 1st of all and I requested information to be sent if this was in fact legitimate. I wanted to know if there was fraudulent activity in my name. They were extremely rude and advised me that they don't have to send me anything and I just need to pay the debt. I was hung up on. I recieved another rude voicemail today and I returned the call and asked to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor was no more professional than the first associate I had spoken with previously. I again requested information to be sent to prove this debt and he advised me that unless I disclosed my social security number he would not speak with me. He hung up on me. I called back and advised him not to call my phone again unless he can provide proof of this debt. I checked my credit & nothing is listed for this "so called debt".

THIS IS A SCAM PEOPLE! Don't even bother - you don't owe them anything.

They ID themselves as Forward Movement Recovery.  No idea where they are located.

These people work for a large large offshore international investment firm: To me, they report the company's or debtor's name that they are collecting for either as Bahama Investment Group or as Evergreen Finance. (Apparently both names work in the immense extorting and scamming world.)

Depending on who you talk to associated with this (877) 279-2186 number, you will get either an smug male named Inspector Davenport or any number of polite officious females.

The amount they want from me either is $510 or $825, money supposedly I borrowed from Bahama or Evergreen on a n mysterious unknown date. They also claim to have subpoenaed my bank deposit and my email authorization, and I assume more information will be forthcoming from them unless I pay them off and make them go away.

I do not know where they are located. However, they are third party bill collectors and they are extremely officious and in my view all of them both mistaken, uninformed of basic law, and under-manned.

At one fell swoop they want top locate you and then presumably immediately "serve" you with legal papers if you will not cooperate with their "location" service and give them money on adebt that has been settled.

Someone should serve them with a counter lawsuit because they try to collect on bogus written off debts through intimidation tactics.

I have poured through my bank records and cannot get any sort of name and date they give me to match to any real loan or debt I had with anyone four years ago. Yes, your point is well taken because they want to "move forward" in time with a debt that does not appear as public record, on any credit report ... for almost well over four years ago mind you.

FMR, Forward Movement Recover.  Known by the number here as well as 877/492-0779.  Also 877/350-2142 which is the number that appears in the "formal letter" that they emailed while I was on the phone to "prove" to me the debt was "real" so as to collect on a debt with a company purchased the debt from but cannot substantiate the origination or the contract they "absorbed".  They just "bought" it, that is all.  Now I am in "legal trouble" and a "locator" will be coming soon to serve me papers with the "verified address".  OOOOOOhhhhhh...shaking in my shoes.  It was fun frustrating the f*$k out of them as they are a bunch of [***] that have nothing better to do other than try to scam people.

They are definetely a scam an a pretty good one but there is no such thing as buying out the rights to a debt like they claimed

The # they are using w/me is 877-536-2025!  They actually contacted my employer and they had the last 4 of my SSN, if not more of it!  I called the police but nothing they can do!  My bank manager showed me it was a fraud!

they have called me every day the last 3 days 4-8 times a day.  The # shows up as " uknown" so i can't block it.  They even call my husband.  I am waiting for the attorney general to get back to me as i have found their address  1902 ridge rd suite 115 west  seneca, NY 14224  the # they they want me to call is 877-753-1083  and every day they leave one or two threatening voice mails.  i answer sometimes and the woman, Emily Young talks over me and is very disrespectful.  i keep telling her to quit calling me.  i don't even have any debts on file to be calling me like this and it is is making me sick.

They have been calling me for the past two days they keep on calling me different times I asked for their licence number and they claim they don't have one .. they have all of my info saying i got a loan I never got

WOW! Ive been scammed bad! I did have an online loan so i just assumed they were collecting for it now. I was suppose to make another payment Saturday but I didn't have the funds. I called Friday and left a message that I couldn't make the payment. Got a voice mail this morning that he got my message (as i am typing this they are calling)  and if i didnt call back then there is nothing he can do and wished me good luck! What do i do? I called back and it tells me that my call can't be accepted at this time and its only that 877-279-2186. I am so sick to my stomach!

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 am so GLAD that I found this site regarding this Forward Movement Recovery place. They have been calling me regarding a payday loan that they say I took out in 2012 that I know for a fact that I didn't do. They have done the same thing to me as I've read here... threatened garnishment, as well as a court appearance. blah blah blah. They emailed me a letter that looks like something that could be typed up by a kid. I knew something was fishy and I'm glad I could confirm it. They call unknown so no number pops up and and they leave a voicemail to call back a 1-877-741-7528 number with a stupid claim number that starts with WG. I searched the number and found it to be in one of the top 10 scam telephone numbers listed on the site. I wish I could just get them to stop calling my phone because I do not want to have to change my phone number again. I guess it's time to give them a good cursing out and maybe that will work.

Next time they call have a whistle ready to blow in their ear! They won't call no more!

The company has called my aunt that lives hundreds of miles from me and they asked her for my where abouts. I don't know how they would get my aunts number and have my info.

This company needs to be found and something needs to be done.

(Google street view shows that address to be a car wash!)

There is an alert on FMR !

Collection agencies are required to be licensed or bonded in many states in order to operate and contact consumers about outstanding debts.  BBB has reached out to this business requesting that they provide proof of licensing and bonding required for operating everywhere they do business. However they have failed to provide all of the requested information from our inquiries.

BBB wants to make consumers aware that they have legal rights when they are contacted by a collection agency. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits abusive and harassing behavior by any debt or collection agency, this act is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, FTC. The act states specific practices and rules under which debt collectors must abide by.  There are penalties for agencies found breaking these laws.  Collection agencies must not use crude or offensive language or identify themselves as anyone other the business name that they are contacting on behalf of.  If a consumer believes a debt or collection agency has violated any of the FDCPA laws the BBB encourages them to file complaints with the BBB at www.bbb.org and Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov.

Oh, by the way, if you google street view that address, it's  a car wash& convenience store

I received a call from (877) 365-0716 and (877) 379-0251

They said they are FMR.  I asked them what that stood for, the person on other line said Forward Movement.  I asked what the call was about.  They said they were trying to locate an employee at my office.  I asked what it was regarding, and they said that the person owed a debt and they were trying to collect on it.

I don't know that a legitimate company would give that information out if they weren't speaking to the person who owed the debt.  I told them I would take the message and give it to the employee.  They said the phone calls would stop, but 3 more calls have come in from that number since.

This seems like a scam.

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.

Today 12/29/2015 I was contacted by a woman that was calling from a ficticious company named FMR aka Manhatten processing aka this that and the other...anyway this lady told me that I had taken out a loan online....being in customer service myself, having worked for a major bank and currently working in a call center, all my red flags went off, by the time I was done with this lady she had no more BS she could feed me because I called her bluff on everything she had about me...she called asking if my last 4 digits were **** and gave me this bogus line that I had taken out a loan on a closed e-mail account I used to have claiming I had gotten a loan for $400, in fact I have NEVER gotten a loan from anywhere I am not that stupid....so I listened to her BS for the next 10 min and called her bluff each time...I asked details abou the time and date this "load" was taken out, first she said 2012 then 2013 then 2014, she had no information whatsoever about anything regarding the loan as far as specifics, when asked to speak to her floor supervisor she said they were "ALL" at lunch and I called her bluff on that and said I am sitting at a call center right now under no circumstance is any call center ever left without a floor supervisor and I again asked to speak to them, she again gave me more excuses and said I could e-mail a TRASH e-mail address to file a complaint the address was: info@forwardmovementrecovery.com. I then asked her who this loan was taken out from what the name of the company was and she claimed it was a company by the name of Manhatten Processings.
