877-858-0220

Collection company FMS for Walmart Debt.

FMS is correct, calling on a debt over 3 years old that has been litigated.

Call that seems like a scam. Says someone is using one of our business checks at Walmart.

Keeps saying they are calling on behalf of an old Walmart payroll check.

Got an annoying call allegedly from "800 Service" at 877-858-0220. The recorded message kept telling me to hold on and wait for a live person who had a very important message for me. I waited for a little while just to tell them to stop calling then hung up.

Computer says hold - I finally did just to see if a "real" person would answer and the computer hung up on me!

Number shown as contact for "FMS Inc., PO Box 707600, Tulsa, OK 74170-7600", with alleged member logo for "ACA International, Assoc. of Credit and Collection Professionals".  They didn't call but sent collection letter claiming debt for  "returned item" (check #757525) to Wal-Mart #1237 in the amount of $1,257.56 plus fee amount of $25.00 for total allegedly owed of $1,282.56.  Numerous clues this is scam. (1) I don't write checks; (2) last check I wrote was 10 years ago; (3) I've never in my life issued check to Wal-Mart; (4) the few checks I've written over the past 30 years all have 4-digit check numbers, not 6 digits; (5) I've never shopped at a Wal-Mart spending more than $400 in a single trip; (6) Wal-Mart #1237 is in Erwin, North Carolina (I'm in Virginia) and I've never stepped foot in the Erwin, N.C. Wal-Mart or even in Erwin, N.C..  This is one of the most sophisticated scams I've ever seen.

The letter upon which I based my review (above) was dated May 19, 2017.  I just received a different letter dated June 19, 2017 with different wording but now with the sentence in all caps: "A THIRTY DAY VALIDATION NOTICE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY MAILED TO YOU" [what's a "validation notice"???...LOL]. Then the usual statement, "Your payment should be made payable to Wal-Mart Stores Inc and mailed to the address on the tear-off portion of this letter." [Only problem is, the dumba**es forgot to include a "tear-off portion"...there was none].  I called the (877) 858-0220 number on the letter (using the caller ID block code) and got an endless loop voice message of: "Hello. Please hold for the 1st available representative. It's important that we speak with you. We'll be with you shortly."  I then put the message on speaker-phone and it continued for 30 minutes, whereupon I hung up.  It's possible their system is programmed not to answer caller-ID-blocked calls.

P.S...it's also possible that their system is programmed to direct calls to the message loop to discourage direct contact with any live person and to force "concerned" callers who think it's a legit call to mail in their payments with credit card numbers and signatures on the "tear-off" portion of the letter.

I received a letter at my work location addressed to a customer saying $7.39 is owed for a returned check. Nothing about this makes any sense. New SCAM! More sophisticated than most scams I see.

FMS Inc called, seems it was about a scam. they didn't want to talk to me, just a president or an owner. looks like they make fake claims about debts though

Told me Walmart cashed a check for a $1,200 check, in Kentucky, lmao never been there. Scam artist everywhere, beware, idiots are among us, and braising, like I’d write a check to Walmart in that amount. Yeah right.
