877-842-9730

received a message to call this number. Dept of lsu mediation... april connor. SCAM collection agency trying to scare me by saying if I miss a court date then the proper authorities will be notified. Said that they tried to deliver documents to my home address... yah right. SCAM SCAM SCAM!

Received a call from a "state locator office" stating they have been requested by Len Martin Litigation (no spelling given so that may be off)  at 877-842-9730 to have me formally served at my place of employment.  They even stated that I have been served on the message. Anyways, by law I am supposed to be served in person. When I had previously tried to call the 877# all it says is "Thank you for calling the Legal Dept" ok if it was a law office - all of it should be "Legal".  Not sure what this is about, probably a debt and they're getting creative. They also left me a case# and when doing an online search through the California court system - the case number was not found and in doing a search under my name also nothing found.  

This "April Connor" called my neighbor looking for me, telling him that he co-signed on something for me. So I called her back. First she tried to tell me that there was a misdemeanor out for my arrest for bouncing a check back in 2011. Uh, don't you think my bank would have let me know this by now? Then she wanted my permission to record me. I said HELL NO. Then she was trying to say that all the information was being sent to "a court in my local area." I said, send away, I'll pay $1 a year if I owe anything. By law, you have to send me the information in the mail. "No I don't." I said well then, how much do I supposedly owe? "Well I don't have that information. I'm a paralegal."
Uh, let's just say April won't be calling me or my neighbor again. I'm not sure sure her ears will be finished ringing anytime soon.
The number is 877-324-3637 and they call themselves "Legal Services Unit."

Received call stating I had two felony warrants out in my name.  Having a father with Private Investigators and other legal connections these people are just a scam artists.  Tis the season to be SCAMMED!!!  Becareful people its that time of year that the scum of the earth try to steal money from the innocent!

They called using a restricted number and told me to call back to 855-746-0241. They called EVERYONE in my family threatening them with legal action if I didn't pay. This is not legal, obviously. They try to scare people into paying for check fraud. I have my police report, credit report and my CHEX Systems report. There is ABSOLUTELY NO check fraud on my social security number. They prey on people with bad debt, scaring and harassing them into paying debts they cannot legally collect on. Report them.

The same people called my fiance's family.  threatening legal action against him.  the phone number was 1 844 270 0407. They called from a restricted number, but they gave a number to call back.  The guys name was Richard Lowry

I received a similar call from a restricted number along with a voicemail from a gentleman by the name of Rich Lowry. He claimed to be the department supervisor for the processing and summons division in my state and stated that the call was regarding two forms of financial fraud that were pending to be filed against me. He stated that if I did not comply and return the call, there would be legal proceedings filed against me out of my state. He provided a case number and the following call back number 844-577-4497. The same voicemail was left for several members of my family (even those in other states) and my employer.

When I called back it was directed to a company called LSU. A gentleman answered saying "Thank you for calling the Legal Dept.” I asked which legal department he was referring to and he claimed to be calling from my state of residence. I then requested that he provide me with a local telephone number for the division of the state but he claimed there was no local telephone number. This set off a red flag to me. He then asked that I provide my social security number so that he could verify my information but I did not feel comfortable providing my personal information over the telephone. I requested that he provide me with the information in writing so that I can verify any such claims or fraud. He stated that a claim regarding check fraud would be filed against me and a summons would be issued to my home. I asked that he provide me with an address so that I could provide to my attorney and he provided the following address (PO Box 308, Hartford, CT 06103) – which is completely different from the state that I reside in. I attempted to look up this company, address and telephone number on the Better Business Bureau’s site and came up with nothing. I’m currently waiting for the claim/summons but this appears to be a scam. Don’t be fooled.

I don't want anyone to know who I'm I just became the latest victim in this matter my family been harassed by the same number for week since I'm on probation I though it was something to do with that but when I call it was a company name lsu in it was a 844 number they Said I had two counts of felony which I do right now I thought they were talking about two more charges of fraud I never did fraud and they said it was on my social security what really no don't think so

I received a call from 844-811-1134. They left a message and when I called back, they wanted me to verify my social security number. I told them I wasn't comfortable because I didn't know who they were. The chick got mad, said good luck and hung up. I called back, talked to someone else,  still didn't give my social, they told me they were collecting a debt for "bayside". They couldn't tell me what bayside was but if I didn't pay they were gonna serve me with papers. I told them do whatever you have to do. They kept claiming they had been trying to reach me, but I've never received any notifications from them, by phone or mail.  When they answer the phone, they identify themselves as "Legal". Wtf? SCAM And the address they gave is 2801 Washington road,  Augusta, Georgia 30909. Looked it up,  didn't find anything. Also looked them up on Better Business Bureau website; NOTHING. Please be careful guys. Scam, scam, scam

I have been getting these same cqlls for the past 3 days out the blue. Same story, claiming I owe a company names bayside, which I have never heard of tried looking up bayside and nothing comes up. Same for LSU legal services unit.I asked for an address and she just said they are in Fl but have offices all over. She couldn't provide me with information because they deal with criminal cases too. Funny how you are a mediation firm with no address. Have been called by Shannon Reed, Mike Cooper and Renee Curtis. THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!

That's who I got Shannon Reed and Aiden Matthews.  When you look up that Augusta , Georgia address,  it's a mall. Kroger, Starbucks and some liquor store comes up. I told Shannon I would visit the office in Augusta and pay with a money order, she said she didn't know if they would take that form of payment bc they only accept debit or credit. She also said that was their corporate office and they have criminals in and out all the time. Lol what a joke

I got a call from an unknown number, from Shannon Reid, telling me to call 877-680-8834 regarding my ex husband of almost 20 years.  Gave me a case file and everything.  I immediately googled, found this thread, and promptly reported them here: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/Complaint/#debt-collection

You should all do the same!!

This is the website for LSU Legal Services, LSU Law Firm, LSU Legal or whatever name they provided when they called.

Under "who we are" the toll free number is somehow missing??

I too have been receiving calls from lsu the past few days, I greatly appreciate the posts that ya'll have left I would have fallen for this scam if it wasn't for this site. I thank ya'll very much!!

My husband was called at work and they spoke with his boss from 8776741636 and said 2 class c felonies and they tried to serve him at home and are now going to serve him at work. Lady said she was the legal dept was willing to take a settlement.  Mrs Williams.  Sounds fishy

Debt is civil, not criminal, so there are no "2 class c felonies".  As well, if your husband had committed even one felony, he'd have had a visit from the cops to question and/or arrest him - he wouldn't get a vague phone call.  This is a scam attempt - don't call them back, don't answer when they call, and please do report them to the FTC, FBI and your state's Attorney General.  You may also wish to give your local police department a heads up too.  If the calls are bothersome, you may want to block the number, either using the "number block" feature on your phone (if it has this feature), or by investing in a call blocker.  Google "call blockers" - you can get a good one for $60 or less.

The "address" provided on their website (1646 Hwy 160 W sutie 8150, Fort Mill SC 29708****their typo on Suite-lol) comes back to a vacant lot. Shady, sketchy, fakes! MICHAEL CALDWELL, JR. shows as the registered agent per SC Sec of State website. Also give address of 1974 Carolina Place #200 G/H Fort Mill, SC 29708

These bottom-feeders go beyond absurd in their quest to obtain money from unsuspecting people. Funny, they call their intended victims "criminals" (among other choice names)...the pot calling the kettle black, IMO.

Received another call today by a man named mike who was a "supervisor" I told him I investigated lsu and ask that they wouldn't call again,  a few minutes later he called back saying he was sending 2 people to my work to serve me! Funny I'm a carpenter and he was sending them to a local hospital, I didn't realize I was a doctor!!!!!!  JACK [***]
