Real name is United PS Debt Collection group.

These crooks left a threatening detail message on my phone. Stating that they have a docket number and I am being serve over the phone for past debt.  Then he says, I will be served in the next 24-48 hours. Which one is it? Someone please explain, how can anyone serve you over the phone for past due debt?
Also, they never left their name just a contact number stating that I have 4 hours to call them back to settle this matter.  Then they wish me good luck.  Well, this is not the first time they have called and left this message. I saved the old message and the one from today.  This is definitely a scam.  You say you are serving me over the phone, then it changes to being served within the next 24-48 hours and finally you say i have 4 hours to contact you back and resolve this matter, then you wish me good luck. I'm not afraid of you SCAMMERS. I am not calling you back or sending you a friggin dime of my money.  

Yes, it's a scam. They said "you have been served" and that you "will be served". Served what? You see, they didn't specify what you'd be served with!

It's illegal for them to threaten you with arrest or a lawsuit when trying to collect. But by keeping their language vague and NOT saying that you will be served with a *summons* they think/hope they are getting around the law. I have my doubts that a judge would buy it but that's just me.

Thank you

GREG CIPRESSI ATTEMPTS TO CHANGE THE TOLL FREE NUMBER TO AVOID THE TRUTH!!!

The NY State Office of the Attorney General in Buffalo, NY has a full blown investigation against UNIFIED PORTFOLIO SERVICING GROUP AND GREGORY CIPRESSI located at 1885 HARLEM RD., CHEEKTOWAGA, NY.

There are over 50 recorded calls from debt collectors allegedly making statements and threats of arrest, criminal investigation, warrants, process servers, etc. Serious FDCPA violations. Also sending VERIFICATION OF EMPLOYMENT to various states which prohibit such actions. THANKS PAMELA TAMOL FOR PROVIDING THESE DOCUMENTS.

There are also financial records (credit card transaction reports and account snapshots) which reflect that debt collectors are charging EXCESSIVE amounts over the balance actually owed to offshore payday loan lenders under the direction of GREGORY CIPRESSI. THIS IS FRAUD. This is an economic crime. The "overage" accounts have been captured and submitted as exhibits for criminal investigation. This is an all out expose of this collection agency. To date, we have gathered 9 statements from former employees of this collection agency and several more are coming forward.

The FBI, FTC, NY AG, ACA, IRS and other government agencies are now involved. The overwhelming evidence was meticulously prepared. All states who hold interest in such where a collections license was issued to this collection agency authorizing this office to collect in such states have also been put on notice.

Several consumers (those of which are archived) have also been put on notice to charge-back/reverse all credit card transactions with this collection agency.

We are also communicating with DATELINE NBC for a segment/investigation of this collection agency. More to come. Stay posted.

Felony Charges Against Debt Collection Company that Targeted Consumers

Felony Charges Against Debt Collection Company that Targeted Consumers
November 12, 2013

BUFFALO, NY (WKBW/RELEASE) - Attorney General Eric T Schneiderman announced the potential filing of felony charges against the owner of a debt collection company that targeted consumers and harassed consumers and their families with threats of arrest and criminal investigation.

The investigation led to the filing of criminal charges against Gregory Cipressi of Unified Portfolio Servicing in Cheektowaga, owner and operator of Unified Portfolio Servicing, LLC,  UPS, LLC, Unified PS Group, LLC all debt collection companies based in the Buffalo area. In addition to the criminal charges, the Attorney General has also filed a civil lawsuit seeking to shut down Cipressi's operation and secure restitution, penalties, and costs. The action is the latest in Attorney General Schneiderman ongoing probe of illegal practices in the debt collection industry.

The investigation found that Cipressi specifically targeted consumers, referring to their alleged debts as “special accounts.” Cipressi instructed employees to threaten criminal investigations and threats of arrest with warrants. Employees were identifying themselves as investigators. Cipressi further instructed employees to inflate the balances owing on payday loans by thousands of dollars, both of which are illegal debt collection tactics.

According to several former employees, Cipressi instructed his employees to threaten criminal prosecution in order compel them to pay. In addition, the investigation uncovered that Cipressi's employees falsely told consumers or their families that they worked for the County Courts and illegally demanded immediate payment. Employees allegedly said that if payment was not made immediately, the consumer would be arrested by the police and would face a criminal charge for an NSF check.

“This individual is accused of operating his businesses in a lawless fashion, instructing his collectors to do anything necessary to collect on an alleged debt, even if it meant harassing and threatening consumers and their families,” said Attorney General Schneiderman.

“We will continue to investigate debt collectors who try to take advantage of unsuspecting individuals facing hard economic times and we will bring them to justice.”

Among the allegations detailed in Attorney General Schneiderman's court papers, Cipressi and his collectors:

● Falsely claimed to be lawyers, investigators, detectives, and
mediators
● Threatened consumers with arrest, jail, and lawsuits
● Threatened to seize the assets of consumers
● Inflated the amount allegedly owed
● Attempted to collect debts from consumers not knowing if the
consumer actually owed the debt
● Targeted family members of consumers, wrongfully disclosing the
existence of alleged debts to family members, and attempted to collect
the alleged debts from family members
● Harassed consumers through repeated and constant calls, using
abusive language
● Levied unauthorized charges on the credit card accounts of
consumers

The civil case against Gregory Cipressi and Unified Portfolio Servicing is being handled by Assistant Attorney General James Morrissey and Senior Consumer Fraud Representative Karen Davis under the supervision of Deputy Attorney General for Regional Affairs J. David Sampson. The criminal case is being handled by Assistant Attorney General Paul McCarthy under the supervision of Deputy Bureau Chief Richard Ernst and Bureau Chief Gail Heatherly of the Criminal Prosecutions Bureau.

Received call from this number..did not answer. Recorded message with female "robotic" sound: "This is not a sales call. You have an urgent situation with our office at UPS LLC that requires your immediate attentiin". This is another SCAM. These people who try and scam people remins me of the Curby vacuum salesmen who use persistent and unethical acts of callous intimidation. Such tactics should warrant an arrest. (I once hsd to threaten a Curby salesman with bodily harm because he would not leave my home--much harder to deal with COWARDS who hide on the other end of a telephone!!!!).

Outstanding commentary..very informative and noteworthy!!!

Glad the Good Guys are sticking it to these scumbags. oiw if we coukd onky somehow get all these other knuckleheads...

They keep calling saying I have some business with their company and to please call them back. As far as I know, I have no business with UPS that I don't know about. Thru this site found out that this is a debt collection agency. Address is www.unifiedpsgroup.com

Company calls every day, refuses to give me information about the company they claim I owe money to.   When I inform them that I know that I do have the right to have information about any debt that involves me, they hang up.  

I receive calls on a regular basis, they have been asked to stop calling, they have the wrong number to begin with.  They will not stop the robot calls, and have not removed my number from their callings.  Just wanted y'all to know they are abusive and trying to scam money no matter what.
