Okay,

First, for anyone whose had to deal with these peons, I feel your pain. Here's "a" way to get them to stop calling. But I will recommend doing your due dilligence as well.(to Dan especially, I spoke with Angela Whitte myself, on more than one occassion)

- Send them (the OYP Group/ NCO Financial Services)a nice "cease and desist" letter which you can find a good template just about anywhere on the net. Include the date, the name of the rep who contacted you, their address, the ref.# of the alleged account they're trying to "collect" on, and sign the letter.

What most people don't know is, you ARE NOT required to deal with them (third party) collection agencies, and YES that is your right.  

Also, check out info on the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.  There's a pdf brochure that'll help you understand your rights, vs. what the collection agency is trying to imply. Don't be intimidated by these morons, the majority of them are mindless idiots stuck in a dead end job anyway, they're hoping you'll just cave and send the company a check, BUT what most of us don't know is, they could turn around and "sell" the debt to another collection agency again, and so repeats the vicious cycle.

best of luck to everybody

Most scammers give up scamming when they perceive the target is aware of the scam.  Not these people.  You can tell them "You are a fraud.  I know it and will never, ever, pay."  They just keep plugging away.  Every day all day.  

Many of you are asking what kind of loser works at a place like this?  I'll tell you.  Losers who were rejected their whole lives.  When you reject their demands over the phone they are able to voice their frustration by threatening you from a thousand miles away; something they aren't able to do in real life because they are snotty wimps.  They get off on making you angry I realized so now I just make fun of them and laugh..

I've talked to "Andy Wilson", "David Smith", and I recognize all the other names up on this thread.  I think I've talked to all of them over the past 4 months.  I'm guessing there is only about 8 or 9 of them.  I AM LEGEND at their offices.  I cursed out each and every one of them at the beginning.  Then I tried to be as polite as possible.  I then just hung up on them.  I then pleaded with them.  I have tried to cajole them into doing the right thing.  My new kick is to hope every day it is a woman that calls.  If it is I talk dirty to her until she hangs up and we all laugh about it.  These people are complete tools.

Just laugh it off people.  They're a bunch of harmless clowns.  Their threats are idiotic.  Hang up when they call or if you feel like venting just yell at them awhile.  It does not matter what you do, they will call until they feel like they are wasting their time.

They are the telephonic equivalent of spam e-mail.  I'm wondering when they are gonna send me an invoice for some viagra that I never ordered.

I received a phone call from 1-888-401-3777 today. A lady from OLY Group asked me to send them an email (RDONALDS@OLYGROUP.COM) stating "I accept OLY Group's settlement to cancel my advertisement on OLY yellew page and internet with $0 charge, and I will retract my complaints filed with BBB and the AG office against the OYP Group."

My church is a victim of the OLY scam. I told the scammers that I would not pay a penny to them and would report them to BBB and the state AG office (and I did file a complaint). Since then, they stopped calling me. Now they wanted to have a settlement with me.

Are there any people who receive similar phone calls from the OLY Group recently? Is this a new trick of the OLY dirt games? Please share your experience.

@ Chris, man that's hilarious !!

Okay, just got 15 (that's right people, count 'em)back-to-back calls from "Nicole" in the OYP Groups Legal department (if such a thing actually exists).  It threw me at first because I saw the number on the caller id but I wasn't sure if it was them or not, especially since they'll call one time posing as "OYP" then again as "NCO" then a third time as something else.  You gotta hand it to 'em, they're some persistant frauds if anything. So I did log all of the calls, and they took place within an 11 minute span of time: 11:27-11:38 am.

I'm really considering filing a suit against them, simply because 15 calls is just waaaay over the top. I'm not about to sit on the phone and have nobody threatening or cussing at me, and never even did anything to 'em.  So we'll see what happens next, but I do have a copy of the original cease and desist letter I sent 'em just in case.

Still the best advise for anyone, if you get a phone call from someone that sounds like they're from Abu-Dhabi, just hang up no questions asked.

call naresh bussiness patner of oyp group at 009886012773 (india)

I have gotten calls from these people.  About a month ago a gal called and said we owned $399.95 plus $40.00 in late fees.  I told the gal to fax me a invoice, which never happened.  So today I get a call from OYP  coming from this number,  I had Googled the business just out of curiosity.  Bingo! I called the number back with the extension they left,  after I had contacted the Attorney General in my state and the FTC.  The gal that answered got an ear full,  she didn't say much and hung up on me.  Heck I love to have them call again,  made the day.

2 years ago a guy with an Indian accent said he wanted to verify my Yellow Pages account info. A week or 2 later a bill arrived from the OYP Group. On the back of the bill was an address to cancel within 30 days. I did so. A year later a woman called saying this problem of my not paying the bill had to be resolved. I told her, among several other things, that I sent a letter to the address they furnished. She said she never got it. i argued with her about misrepresentation etc then hung up. A year later (last week) some guy called from a collection agency at the 888-401-3777 number and said I'd be served with papers, this week,at my business, re: my up coming case in Westchester County, NY, but that "they" would be willing to settle for only $399 instead of the full $1987.00 amount. I explained all his mistakes to him and hung up.

Pretty much the same as above, OYP spoke to an employee, then sent an invoice, Bad phone # to contact.  I tossed the works. Next came harassing calls and a patched together a recording to "prove" their valid contract.

I contacted, NY BBB, NY Attorney General, WI Attorney General, IRS, NY
Department of Revenue, NY Bar association, andy several other places already.  I suggest others do the same most of the reports can be filed on line.

I think one way to actually get them by the short hairs is to complain to their credit card companies and inform those providers that a scam is being run.  Might get the providers riled up enough to cause some hurt to the scabby OYP.

Also I wonder if taxes are being paid by the company? Might be able to get the feds very interested.  Each listing on the web site could be construed as another $400.00 sale that some tax agency didn't get claimed in a report.

recieved same such "collections" call today.  The information in the previous posts were very beneficial.

Seems as if they are back in business
We got a call today from David Smith (at least, he could have changed his name). Call was referred to me from my AP. He came with the same story. He had proof with a patched phone recording. After asking me how we could run a business as I would not accept his "recorded message" and after asking him how they could run their business with "contracts" like these over the phone he said we would hear from his legal department and hand up. Let's see
