I have to wonder why an allegedly “legitimate “business would need so many phone numbers to call out on?

From the above web link:
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 of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

They called an old roommate from 15 years ago, he got a hold of me and gave me their number. I called and they said that they now owned a debt of mine from a payday loan that I didn't pay dating back to 2012. They said that I owed $800 with interest. I said BS! The scarey part was that they had the last 4 of both my checking account and my social. I called my bank, and they said that anyone can get that info. I added security questions to my account.
Big scam!
Some partial truth they use against you.

Use the information I posted above to do the following, and get yourself a nice paycheck from them

You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation, cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.

Got a message from "Betsy" saying I owed a debt from 2010.  I called back and demanded the in-writing per the Federal Law above. Got very confrontational and she declared "this is NOT over" - very unprofessional..........

Left a voice mail saying that they were trying to locate me and they would start calling my contacts. Just another scam I am sure. I always know it is tax time or the holidays because these calls start. I did not call them back. I am sure they will claim I owe money on a fake debt.
