877-381-5756

Saw this number on my caller id. Did some research and the link will lead you to who they are. I wouldn't buy a dog from them let alone have them finance my mortgage.

this number was left as a call back number.  the number that came up on the caller id was 512-562-0060.  checked both numbers and they are both scammers.

I disagree with your above statements. I had a payday loan that I did owe through Cashnet. A representative from AVRS called me and was very professional and actually helped me out a lot. I had to clear this debt to buy a home and they offered me a reduced payoff and had a paid letter for me within a few days to give to my mortgage company.

A scam trying to collect on an account that was already paid in full

These people are mexicans in Florida, Broward County to be exact(which is also known as the crack cociane capital of Florida) that use a phishing scam to illegally obtain debt information and contact people to SCAM them out of paying the rightful owner of the debt. They somehow obtained information on a client of my law-firm and tld her we sold them her debt that is being paid through a court-ordered restitution arrangement. This was not the case we never transferred the debt as we're being paid through the court system and would never have done that  When our attorney tried contacting them to ask how they obtained this information we were hung up on 3x. We've contacted the Broward County Sheriffs Dept. as well as the FBI.   If they contact you do not give them any infomation, and hopefully these scamsters will be shut down soon.

THIS NONSENCE HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH ME FOR OVER A YEAR. THESE ARE OTHER NUMBERS THEY HAVE USED: 7166319785/9786/9784/4064 , 7169237408, 7145519770/9746, 8882800032.  THEY GO BY DIFFERENT NAMES MOST ARE BASED OUT OF BUFFALO, NY THE SCAM CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. SOMETIMES ITS A BOUNCED CHECK, SOMETIMES BANK FRAUD, SOMETIMES THEY WANT TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO SERVE YOU PAPERS.  ITS A SCAM. NOW THEY ARE CALLING MY OFFICE WITH A UNIDENTIFIED NUMBER WANTING USING THIS NUMBER AS A RETURN CALL NUMBER.

they called me as well left a message with an extention before you pay any debt check your states statue of limitations on collecting a debt texas is 4yrs after 4 years they cannot sue you for medical or other bills on your credit. if the original creditor refuses your cash payment you can fight to have it removed from your credit.

Same man, different Caller ID number each time... This is not legal, it is not a debt collection agency... just because they have referenced a file.... A legal debt collector HAS to identify themselves as such. If they do not, they are in violation of any number of fair debt collection acts.  They have bothered me sincee my bankruptcy was settled two years ago.... how do these people sleep at night knowing what they are doing scares people and is illegal???

My room mate of mine got a call from this number and the woman was very professional but a little rude and urgent to speek to ME! I do not know how they got my roomates number and new that we lived together... It's very suspicious and I do not know what to do... I called the number back and a woman said it was the AVRS and to leave your name and number... I did not do either of those things for the simple fact I'm afraid it's a scam! Can I call this number in as a scam???

I received a call today from a woman who said her name was Janet Moore of AVRS Collections. The number that showed up on my phone was 512-562*-0111. She told me to call her back at 877-381-5756, which I did and a person answered the phone, said hello and hung up. It's a scam. I am getting ready to report them to the BBB and Attorney General along with the FBI.

In case you are wondering, AVRS = Assessment Verifications and Recovery Services, LLC at P. O. Box 279, Clarence, NY 14031-0279.  Their email address is:  avrsllc@wny.twcbc.com (I had to find through a google search since the lady told me I couldn't send them an email).  I got a call from these yoyos (512-562-0060) saying that I needed to contact 877-381-5756.  Called the toll free number and they immediately began their spill about a payday loan for which I already have payment arrangements.  I wasn't very nice in my conversation with them.  The lady wanted me to provide them something in writing regarding arrangements.  I told her that I would send her a handwritten message regarding payment, but would not provide her with a copy of the payment agreement with the company I am working with.  She told me I would need to fax it.  I told her that I would not pay for more than a postage stamp and she would have to live with it.  I found the email address and sent a copy of the letter by email.  I also provided a copy of the letter to AVRS to the company with which I have payment arrangements.  I have also contacted the AG's office regarding my complaint against them.  Since they are calling from a Texas # to begin with.

I receivd a call from Mr Pierce had a file number and stated that I needed to contact him back at this number can anyone help me is the number legit?

ok, I see this contstantly and it's just TERRIBLE. Obviously this is a phishing scam (since so many are reporting the same activity) I can tell you all that I have been dealing with this issue since late 2009. It started with a letter from a company called "LRA" or 'Lighthouse Recovery Assoc' they were based in California. At first I thought it might be a valid debt since it only had a name of 'BMG/CMG Corp' listed as the original creditor. I called and told them I needed verification in WRITING before I would agree to pay them anything. They sent me a bogus copy of a contract from an online payday loan company - I have never had a payday loan, nor have I ever applied for one. The 'contract' had all of my personal information on it - including my name, address, phone number, email address, employer info, and SSN (again - I have NEVER entered into any agreement of this kind and have NO idea where this came from or how they obtained my information) At the bottom of the 'contract' it showed funds being deposited into a bank acct - that was not mine. I wrote a letter of appeal explaining that this was not my debt and that no funds were ever deposited into MY acct. I even went so far as to have my bank print out my bank activity from that time and also the bank wrote a letter on my behalf explaining that this money was never received by me. I called LRA and was told the appeal was rec'd, and to allow 30 days to process the appeal and that this would be resolved and taken from my records. I thought it was handled .... then about 3 mos later they sent me another letter demanding payment. I of course called and explained the situation and the appeal - and miraculously they couldn't find it. So I sent another one - I kept everything from the original. This time I faxed it, and sent a copy certified mail signature due upon receipt. I dealt with LRA several more times before they finally went away over the next 6-8 months. Soon enough however ... I started getting phone calls from various other 'debt collectors' on this 'loan' all saying the same thing. 'We have a file in our office, its regarding a legal matter, and we are going to serve you either at home or at your place of employment blah blah blah' EACH AND EVERY TIME I request a verification of debt letter .. and every time they are unable to provide one - or they say it was already sent several times (no it wasn't) These companies are in gross violation of the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices) - they have called my home and my work leaving messages that I 'have been notified' ... even going so far as to threaten that I am going to jail, or that (I'm not kidding) they are going to beat and rape me in front of my children and murder my parents!! THIS IS ILLEGAL ... and if it was any way, shape or form a legitimate debt these things would not be happening ... you know why? Because each and every time a violation of the FDCPA occurs it is a fine of 1000.00 - payable to the debtor (yes that would be you, the person owing gets paid a thousand bucks by the debt collector for the violation) Legitimate agencies KNOW this - and they do their best to follow the law because a debt collector is only making roughly 40% off the monies collected - if they violate the law they are operating quite possible in the black and making NO money. Another thing about these companies - they never seem to go away, and good luck tracking them down. The calls are set up through a Voip (voice over IP) basically it could be some guy calling you from his bedroom in Bulgaria but the phone connection bounces around the internet and feeds through to a different call zone - say California or New York for example. They set up on something like a dry loop and can not be traced or tracked down. At least I havn't found a way to do it anyway - and believe me I have tried. I ended up tracking down the original 'creditor' BMG/CMG Group ... this is a legitimate company that offers payday loans, but they said that I do not owe them ANY MONEY. I requeted that in writing late in 2010 and did receive a letter stating that I have not ever, and do not owe anything to them and that I am released from any obligations towards the 'debt'. ok ... so you think that stopped it? NO! I have rec'd calls at home - and my employer 3x in 2011 and 2012 - the latest one being today 06/21/12 at 9:00 am. My call today was exactly the same as all the others I have rec'd. It's more of a hassle and it's infuriating ... but they are mostly harmless I think. This 'debt' has never been reported to my credit .. and no, noone has ever showed up to serve me papers - and I have been threatened with THAT line at least 4 times. Now here's the kicker .... everyone keeps saying call the police, call the FTC, call the authorities .... I'm going to tell you not to waste your time. I have called every single one of the agencies below and filed FORMAL, sometimes written complaints with every one to: the FBI, CIA, FTC, BBB in CA, BBB IL, BBB CO, BBB NY, I've also contacted the State Collection Bureaus in CA,CO, and NY, as well as the Attny General in CA,CO,IL,IN,and NY ... I have called my local police - I even went so far as to contact an investigative reporter for FOX news based in California. He  did a story/investigation into these scams about a year or 18 mos ago and in turn one of these companies was shut down, faced prosecution and they now in jail. You know what every one of those agencies told me? 'we are well aware of this situation, and it is unfortunate - but there is 'nothing we can do' ... most of these calls are not coming from America - they are looped to look like it - but are originating outside the country. There are a few American 'copy-cat' companies that are working the same scam ... but using the same techniques w/ the Voip/dryloop they are not able to be tracked. So that's my story - don't be surprised if you start seeing it everywhere you look b/c I am going to get the word out there about this. These are opportunistic Vultures taking what they can from innocent, unsuspecting people - many of whom probably did have a payday loan at some time and think one just 'slipped' by ... God only knows how much money they have sucked out of unsuspecting people over the past few years. If we get the word out to people, and they stop getting our money, MAYBE they will stop seeing us as a quick payday and move on to some other unsuspecting country. Its very simple ... if someone calls you about a debt THEY ARE REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW TO PROVIDE YOU IN WRITING PROOF THAT YOU OWE IT. If nothing can be provided, or if they flat out refuse - it is a scam. There is nothing they can do, they can't haul you to prision, damage your credit, or get you fired - they can't garnish your wages - they can't even Sue you! they can't come to your house, file harassement charges on you or any of the other million threats they try (today I told them i had the police waiting in my driveway to arrest them when the 'process server' showed up ... they actually tried to tell me that they were going to file harassment papers on ME ... then they blocked my # because I called them repeatedly for about 30 minutes asking where the authorities were at) ... I know it sounds scary, but it's all smoke. I retained an attorney on this 2 years ago and every time they call I double check and document it with my lawyer - it's a scam, and people need to be made aware of it. Tell everyone you know and tell them to tell everyone they know ... I've done it and I will not stop. Good Luck to all.

Thanks for the long letter it explains everythiing i need to do. I am getting these calls now. I will follow your advice to the fullest.

I didnt know this was so bad, I am happy to read your email...thanks for telling your story to people like me and everyone else

Well, if you own money from daypay loans or from any one, and if they call you as debt collectors....you must pay it...the problems is this: THEY are bying old debts from agencies who can no collect the money, and then they buy the accounts for a dime...and MANY times those old accounts are paid in full, but they want to REcollect money again, they think that people forgot about the account status, plus the all NASTY intimidation, people are afraid...I am NOT afraid....
