My little keyboard on this phone is making all those crazy misspelled words. I get mad and start texting fast and thrn saw how crazy it looked lol

Do you think thst people are really worried about that [***] showing on thier credit? I work at a car dealership and we have had that B.S. come up when people apply for car loans and we are well aware that Aldous and [***] are using fraudulent business practices and it hasn't stopped one loan from going through. Most of the people with this "flaw" on thier report have otherwise good credit and the dealerships around us are aware also ( we are in an auto mall) several dealerships in a very small radius. So don't worry , most places who give loans are well aware of this Aldous & [***] and its not going to ruin your credit.  if a company cannot prove you owe a debt then it is null and void.

From the way I see it...it looks like maybe Diamond Wireless is the scammer and are sending false debts to collect on. They cant be making THAT many mistakes...come on!

Diamond Wireless is not making the mistake.  Our situation was a little crazy but got worked out.  What I can tell you is this... If you have ever gone into an "Authorized Dealer" and purchased a phone, modem or any other type of device and receive a discounted price by signing a 2 yr agreement with Verizon (whether it was an upgrade or new contract) you are ALSO signing a 180 day contract with Diamond Wireless, Go Wireless or 2B Mobile.  The sales associates are supposed to advise you to this but don't always.  So, if you are receiving calls or letters from Aldous and Associates CALL THEM BACK!  Also, call the store that you made your purchase and they should be able to discuss it with you as well.  This is SEPARATE from Verizon Wireless!!  If  you take the time to do the research you will find out it is real and can effect your credit!!

And you keep coming back here to share this... why? The only people who ever do that are the shills themselves. Also, watch your syntax; it changed after your first post.


Posters, if you received a call from this "company," do your due diligence - request debt validation. NEVER just pay someone because they claim you'll owe more or that they're "willing to settle" just today or "they'll damage your credit" if you don't pay right now. Collection agencies are not allowed to threaten you, but they will to scare you into paying money you may not even owe.

For those shills throwing out the "ZOMG THEY'RE BBB!"  well, there is a page for this "company" on the BBB, but yanno what the top line says? "This Business is not BBB Accredited."  Just sayin'.

Thia, you make so many good points. And even if they WERE BBB accredited, know that the BBB will even accredit a terrorist group: http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/business-bureau ... ory?id=12123843

Sadly, a good BBB rating is one of the tools scammers use to try to make themselves look legit. Most people don't know that ratings are for sale, so it helps sucker them in.

You know why it's a really good idea to register an account at 800notes? So that you don't have frauds getting away with posting under your name. Any fool can see the first "Chuck and Angie" are not the ones (the fraudulent ones) who posted later. Unfortunately fools are exactly the kind of people scammers are looking for.

My home phone (360) 274-7919 has been receiving calls for my husband Keith from 'Jim' claiming to be an attorney that needs Keith to call 1-888 221 5155 regarding a personal business matter which Keith knows nothing about and of course they will not discuss with me. We would like very much for these calls to cease. Thank you, Nancy Wavra

Having been a manager for Diamond Wireless I can assure you that this is a scam. The only contract with Diamond that you have is the Customer Agreement that you will sign as you are cashing out your purchase. This states that If you cancel your service between day 15 and 185 you will be subject to an ADDITIONAL $400 ETF. We were instructed to tell the customer that this is to cover the cost of the discount you received on the device at the time of purchase. What is in reality is the amount that Verizon pays Diamond for each new contract. So not only are you paying off an ETF of up to $350 with Verizon you will also be charged the $400 by Diamond it's self for the tune of up to $750 ETF per line!!!! However Diamond does not use an outside legal firm to collect this "debt". They have their own in-house legal department that handles this situation but in more cases than not they will simply charge the credit card you paid with originally. This is why as a Manager and sales agent I was not allowed to sell ANY Apple products without a CC. They keep that number on file and will charge the card if you default in the 185 day agreement.

I am being harassed by the same company for a dept belonging to another person. They already knew this before the first call. But to quote them "we do not care who owes the money only that we get it, if you do not want to pay find john and make him pay us." They have threatened me repeatedly I just had four calls in less then ten minutes all attempts to make them stop have failed..i have no choice but to proceed with legal action.

Please help, I receive a letter from Aldous.

Recieved a  letter in TH mail Form Adous and Associates stating they werde collecting an outstanding Bill fro GoWireless this IS a SCAM

I got a call from this number very late last night.  He said his name was Steve and I needed to call him back that night.  Called back and they were closed.  Called again this morning and sat on hold for 30 min before someone finally answered.  He said, "Hi. My name is John, how can I help you." I told him about the call I got last night and he says I owe Gold's Gym some money.  I tell him that's funny because in November, I moved from Texas to Michigan and cancelled my membership since me living more than 25 miles away from the gym location voids the contract.  Sorry it is not my fault they waited 4 months to process my cancellation and want $22 out of me for their mistake.  He told me it would damage my credit and I laughed and told him I do not have any credit (never had a loan, credit card, bill in my name, home, I am very young and haven't established these yet) and you are not hurting me any.  Also I informed him I contacted the BBB and Attorney General of Texas and they are resolving this matter.  He told me to send him copies of this paperwork and I refused and laughed again.  He then said, " have a good day" and hung up on me.

I got a voicemail from a girl named Kay/Kate Miller back in mid January. Exact message was, "this is Kay/Kate Miller calling for (me) regarding a personal business matter. Please call me back as soon as possible at 888-221-5155.". It was late afternoon so when i called back, I got an automated after-hours message, but still left a voicemail inquiring what it was about. Seriously, NO return call AT ALL until late last week (February 24th/25th), while I was out of town. She told me she was representing the gym I used to go to, that I had a past due balance & that if I didn't give her a minimum $50 before i got off the phone, my account was going to be reported negatively to the credit bureaus because they had the power to do so. She was SUPER pushy about wanting me to give her my credit card info!! She kept pushing the subject & after a few minutes I was like, "hold on a minute! First of all, don't keep talking over me! Second, don't sit there & threaten me! I'm having an adult conversation with you, you want my money & you're going to threaten me? Sorry, it doesn't work that way & I don't even know you so why would I give you my credit card?!". She kept on insisting that she wasn't threatening, even though the conversation always went back to reporting me if I didn't give her my credit card info to secure the minimum $50 & save my account from being reported? She also claimed that they sent me an official notice & I told her 1) I haven't gotten anything from an attorneys office regarding a debt 2) If I ever received ANY kind of official notice from an attorney's office, I'm not the type of girl to just throw it away. I asked when she sent it, she said "months ago". Other than the upsetting "don't threaten me!" statement I made, I kept her on the phone pretty long & was nice the whole time, seriously. I made it perfectly clear though that there was NOTHING she could say that would get me to pull out my credit card. She kept trying, I didn't budge. Eventually the convo came to an end, she hung up on me frustrated.

I've done telemarketing & sales, I know the industry, I understand the pitches. I'm going to now call that gym to see if they know anything about this place.

I got the letter but no calls - yet...

I read through this thread and like many here, thought this is a scam.  I do remember buying a phone and canceling my service in less than the requisite 185 days.  I found my receipt and found it was indeed Diamond Wireless whom sold me the phone.  Further, the receipt was quite clear about owing the $400 should I not keep my service for 185 days - and yes I signed it. I feel so stupid. Live and learn.

My question to the community is: How can two companies charge (Verizon & Diamond Wireless) the early termination fee for the same phone. I understand they sell the phone at a loss to make it up on service, but how can both companies be out the cost of the phone? Surely it is one or the other, how can it be both?  I can't believe that would be legal.

I do not think it would be wise to ignore this letter or the calls.  Check your receipt. If you cant find your receipt, go to the store where you bought it and learn their terms. You will likely be unpleasantly surprised - like I was.

just received letter also... diamond wireless is getting list from verizon of people who early terminate( of course verizon says they are not affiliated with diamond wireless). Just wasted 4 hours of my time trying to fix( so far)... Called verizon who said everything was fine with my account too but they apparently are giving info to diamond wireless in this case was not correct because it was on a different phone. Can't wait till contracts expire and never buy from diamond wireless or I guess any so called Verizon store because third party store.
