This person threatened to have me arrested if I did not send a check to him within 24 hours.  He is not in a position to have any person arrested or to do any kind of legal action since he has no jurisdiction in this area

All these numbers are used by the same scam.  Note, the price you "have to pay" goes up over the years.  Don't give them any info, definitely don't give them your credit card number, hang up on them whenever you want.  They can't hurt your credit, or sue you, or anything else they threaten.

This Mr. Tomas from Leisure Time Worldwide, which is the same company First Class Travel Wise also known FCTW.  They say they will send your account to collections, but they can't.  They do not have proof to do any of these actions.  People need to be warned.  They have over 25,000 different names and numbers to call.  They have all your info like your address, credit card number, and name!!  But do not believe them; they are lying to you.  There is no Micheal Anderson; that is not the director's name; he lies to all of you.  He uses the names Michael Anderson, Michael Mann, and many more, but those are his main names.  The company is based out of Georgia but they really operate in Lake City, Florida.  We do use Georgia numbers 229-380-8974.  It's a Magic Jack phone plugged in to a computer that works off the internet; so it has there a Georgia number so they can say there in Georgia.  The 1-888-210-2221 toll free number is forwarded to a phone registered in Lake City, Fl and it sometimes is forwarded to a cell phone.  Used to be my cell phone but not any more.  For anybody I have spoken to in the past I do apologize.  But people -- do not accept the resolution they are offering.  I can not reveal much more information than this to protect myself from a lawsuit.  But do hang up on them.  If you did resolve, then do what you have to to fix your error in judgment.  I do again apologize; I no longer work for this company.

I just received this number today and I told him don't call back again but the guy said "I'll call back", reported to FTC with this number

I receive a call once or twice a day from the number: 8773824357. They do not leave a message. I've answered several time to see what they will say, but there was no one there. I filed a complaint with the FTC about someone spoofing their help line number.

I received a phone call from a woman tonight who claimed to represent Goldman Schwartz. She asked for my social security number and several other pieces of personal information, which I did not give her (though she already has my social security number, because she read back the last 4 digits). She was very hostile and claimed that I owed her company $300 stemming from a debt I incurred with Advance America in 2002. And that if I did not remit payment immediately I would be sent to jail for check fraud. This person demanded a checking account number or major credit card. I refused. I asked for her company's information (address, phone number, etc) so that I could have an attorney speak to them on my behalf. She refused, and instead offered a fax number only. After which she again demanded immediate resolution of this debt. I told her I wanted to have an attorney look into this matter for me. At which point she began yelling that numerous attempts have been made to contact me (false) and that my social security card and driver's license would be red flagged and she "hoped" I enjoyed jail, then she hung up.

Called tried to establish the use of a Macey"s Credit Card in my name and account.  Macey's rep. called to report.  I cancelled account.

Sorry about the last two message. Correct the URL www.sweepsvegas.com. If your told that you've won a sweepstakes don't send money call FTC or Attorney General and Homeland Security.

I just received a call from this number and did not take the call. It went to my voicemail and they left a message. The message said I needed to visit www.ftcrefund.com and enter a bunch of #'s to claim my refund.

Folks, the FTC is a government agency, but the government doesn't use dot com URL's and the FTC doesn't issue refunds of any kind.

Scam. Stay away. Beware.

This is a scam

FTC Action Leads to Shutdown of Texas-based Debt Collector that Allegedly Used Deception, Insults, and False Threats Against Consumers

As part of its continuing crackdown on scams that target consumers in financial distress, the FTC filed a complaint against Goldman Schwartz, Inc., three affiliated companies, and three individuals who own or manage them.  The operation did business nationwide collecting debts for numerous payday loan companies, including Ace Cash Express, Advance America, Allied Cash Advance, Checkmate, First Cash Advance, and MoneyMart.

Got a call from this number, with a person with a HEAVY accent (sounded Jamaican or Nigerian?).  Claimed to be "Bank of America - Check Verification Department."  
I contacted BOA-- this is NOT a BOA #.  Its a scam to get your information.

Why is this company using the telephone number for the Federal Trade Commission website? 877-382-4357 is the number at the FTC website. The FTC also has the number 202-326-2222

Company claimed to be HR Block and requested Social security number and other personal information to verify my tax claim.  i called my HR Block office and said they did not make a call of this type.  i checked the number on internet and it was unknown.  do NOT give these callers any information!!

This number 877-382-4357 is the REAL FTC COMPLAINT NUMBER. The scammers are listing this number so it comes up on your Caller ID in hopes that you will answer the phone and give them the info they're after:
YOUR CREDIT CARD!!!!  Anyone applying for phone service can have ANY name or number listed. These scammers are desperate and will use any method to get what they want!!!!!!
