877-350-1546

Missed call, left message 8:00am. Caller ID Unknown, Phone number in message. “This is a urgent message and requires your immediate attention. Someone has file a complaint against you, please call the person in charge of this complaint at 877-350-1546, Case number etc, etc.” Oh, this is so much a Scam.
Caller ID: Unknown

i got the same call, urgent message that requires attention, some lady name haley... i called back and was notified that i had a pending lawsuit. thinking it was a total scam but weirdly enough they were actually nice and helpful, they had all my information on file, so i'm thinking this could be legitimate. i thought this was a scam but they stopped my case from going to court.

Most scammers do, thats why they call people with a convincing amount of information they collected about you. Most is found easily right online too.

..... but they stopped my case from going to court.

Now did they actually stop a Case that was in the Court dockets, as in got the charges dropped or did they just "say" they stopped an imaginary Case during a phone conversation with you, to convince you to pay?

I doubt there was ever a Case in the first place or you would have had to show up in Court and you would have more than just a "vague story" to tell. I also doubt if it was real, that you would take the time to look up this number and brag about the experience.

Debt Extortion Scammers

A vague scare tactic message designed to panic a victim into calling back.

Most debt collectors will use a certain amount of pressure to convince you to pay the debt. After all, they often don't get paid unless you pay. Be suspicious of a debt collector who uses an unusual amount of pressure to get you to pay immediately, particularly if they also use scare tactics to get you to pay right away. For example, a debt collector is scamming you if it :

• threatens you with a lawsuit and tells that you can avoid the lawsuit by paying right away
• Says a Process Server  or Courier is coming with papers to sign
• Threatens to call / go to your place of employment
• Insists you have been notified, served or are non-compliant via phone message(s)
• Refuses to give a company name or verifiable Contact source
• Refuses to send proof of debt via US mail

A sure sign of a debt collection scam is a collector that wants to you to pay via wire transfer or another method that can't be traced. If the payment method can't be traced, you'll have a harder time getting the authorities involved.

If the creditor sounds completely foreign, or you know you never had an account with that business, there's a chance it's a scam. Never pay a collection you don't recognize. You have the right to request written proof of the debt from the debt collector before you send payment.

Yep, you fell for this scam hook,line,and sinker.

It seems that "JUNE" forgot to mention who "they" are as well. Rather odd for a person who was saved from going to court, wouldn't you say?
Shills these days! They just keep getting more pathetic.

Well "JUNE" did say "some lady name haley" and thats as far as the intelligence of a shill allows it to go.

oh sorry it was keplin law office... that is who they are.

That was a mistake "JUNE". Your SCAM is about to be completely disemboweled!
  Skeff Ett Liv!

Yes Mike, the intelligence of a Shill is impossible to measure. Nothing can make an accurate reading of something so small. "JUNE" has just shown us an example of that. She's supplied us with a name of a non-existent law office. "JUNE" seems to think that our resources are very limited. Little does "she" know...

Tried calling back out of curiosity and no one answered. They also called my sister looking for me.

They somehow got my nieces number that she’s only had for a month or two, Looking for me.

Received a voicemail from this number stating they required immediate attention regarding a case number on a complaint against me and that the message would serve as proof of notification in this matter.  Incredibly vague.  I called the number back from my Google hangouts and a Mr. Robert Williams told me the company is The Falcon Group in Temecula, CA.  Here is their website:  http://falcongroupusa.net/.   I love that the spell "Debt" as "Dept" and use fake / broken partner links on their website.   I don't have any outstanding debts or "depts".

Got the same message; however, I don't have any unpaid debts. Definitely a SCAM!

Got same call with same message. I do not owe anyone and if they call anyone I know trying to get me, I have an attorney for a husband!

TL;DR - Company trying to collect on a really old, closed US Bank account. US Bank said they didn't acknowledge the debt, and that they don't work with the company that called.

Called 5 people in my family on Wednesday, and called again today (Friday) trying to find me. Called and spoke to someone, they said that US Bank was collecting on a overdrafted account from 12 years ago, and that someone would be coming to serve papers on Monday, but I could pay them a discounted rate today to "stop it". I refused to give my ssn and didn't acknowledge the debt, and called US Bank.

The bank said they don't acknowledge the debt, and don't have any association with the company trying to "sue" me.

The woman tried to use a lot of scare tactics, saying that the statute of limitations doesn't apply in these cases (according to Google, Esq, this isn't true), and that it wouldn't appear on my credit report since it's a bank debt. She said I'll be sent a summons to appear in court if I don't pay. They also said there was no way I could verify the debt with outside sources because it hadn't been filed yet, and that I could call US Bank, but they'd just send me back to them.

Like people above, I googled the name they gave me - Kaplin Law Firm, and no such company exists on Google.

This is all overkill, I know, but my dad called me panicking, and I said I'd look in to it to appease him. Maybe it'll help someone else.

Kaplin or Kaplan is well known around here. Use the search box on this site to find out more. CWG40 has lots of information on them.

Yep, some of the gutter trash in "Sunny California" have been at the Scam games for almost as long as their brethren in WNY. Not quite as long, they had to learn the ropes from their "betters", but they've been doing their best to catch up for years.
Simple is as simple does. They're failures. They always have been, they always will be. Two steps forward, thousands spent on attorney fees & another stetch in the lock-up. Scammers just aren't very bright.
