Tsk, tsk ..... False skip tracing, privacy breach, and a nasty shill shadowing a new thread. Not a great start.

Whether you are called a debtor or some collector thinks you can flush one out, you have rights and options. Many are simple to exercise if you only learn how. You are entitled to proof of claim and fair treatment. If one or the other is not provided, the collection agency should *not* win your assets. You are granted control of how you are contacted, the right to dispute debt claims, and the means to sue violators at low cost. The FTC and the CFPB can start you on your homework. See also if your state laws grant additional or stronger rights.

Just got a call from Eddie at 916-588-4116. Left a message that there is a complaint against me. Called the number he left at 8884466681,  and they told me I owed Verizon money from 12 years ago..

Just got the same phone call. Said I owed from 11years ago..never had a verizon phone!

Just got a call from a California number (916) 588-4116 claiming I had an issue with some court thing and that I had to call 888-446-6681 within the hour or else. I've never lived in California.

These people are a collection agency saying I owed money rom verizon which I never even had a version account..the guy Eric was screaming the F*** word at me etc..BEWARE A SCAM..THEY WILL SAY ITS A CIVIL COURT MATTER..they are in California which I never been to!!!! DONT PICK UP THE PHONE

My daughter received a call from DRG Associates that I owed Verizon from 2006.
I called DRG. Never had the phone number that they said I owed.
Called the Atty. General's Office, filing complaint against DRG.
I want to know how they got my daughter's information!!!

just got the same call too today stating i owe a bill in new york . i live in Pennsylvania . called Verizon they have no info about
the account.

They are telling me it's from Sprint! Eric is a real douche! I asked to speak to a supervisor and he said he was the supervisor! I then said I wanted to speak to his boss and he told me he owned the company! I told him good! Now I know who I'm suing for making false claims!!

I received a call saying there was a civil suit against me but they didn't have any info. I called the number they gave me and the guy was very nice ( I guess they change their tactics). It was actually a real bill that I paid off with T Mobil 12 years ago. they were trying to collect thousands and managed to get it down to $112 but needed my cc number (yeah right)

Got the same  call. Called my number my mom's number and my brother's  number all within  2 mins.

First a woman called my niece,later my son's mother received a call from a woman named AMMY , then my exwife also was called.Where I live,  I have      never seen Bank of America where they say (888 446 6681,916 588 4116,fax 951 808 5541) l owe  more than $4,000 from 2006 .After all these calls l called 888 446 6681 and Cristina answered and transfer  my call to Michael Taylor told me about the debt  . Then l look  all the people coments and decided to write also.>Dr

People, please do your homework when dealing with this number! DO NOT give this man ANY money! He told me Sprint had filed a civil suit against me from 13-14 years ago. The problem is, there is a statute of limitations of 7 years without any contact from a company. After that, they can no longer touch you! I called him back again today. He also gave me a different last name along with a different phone carrier. I called Sprint after he hung up on me. They needed my social. Gave it to them and they searched and there has been nothing filed against me! Please you all, research this before you give him any money! This is an extremely fradulent man trying to scam money out of you! I called him back to let him know that I knew he was full of it and he hung up on me! I was also told to contact my local authorities! I think I will be contacting the ones in California instead! Thank you for taking the time to read this! I hope this helps!!

Got a call from a company going by the name "DRG"  . A Mike Tailer said he was going to sue me for a sprint bill back 12 years ago . Said he was taking me to court . And hung up on me. Scam scam

So after calling this number and explaining my rights and the law he said to have my lawyer send info to an address he gave me. Googled the address. It's a SUSHI restaurant!

My mother received a very similar phone call from the exact same people! They claimed that there was a civil suit being filed against her by sprint from nearly twenty years ago. The first person she spoke with was Crystal from Pro Locators who gave her a case number and the "law firm" to contact in order to get more information on her case. My mother called the number and spoke with Michael Taylor who said that he was with a law firm and he was going to file a lawsuit the following Wednesday with "attorney"  Carmichael. They gave my mother the address that she could send information to and it is, in fact, a sushi restaurant in a strip mall. Upon telling them this information the address changed...to a UPS store. Beware, please be cautious when giving personal information. This company/these people are using legal terms to scare people into sending money.

Thank you so much for your post. I received a similar call today maybe from the same guy saying it was sprint I owed from 14 years ago and I've never had an account with them. Hate these ppl........get a life and a better source of income ya know?!!!
