888-466-8858

I got a call two days in a row from the N.A.R. Group, Inc. concerning a debt that they said that I did not pay. I spoke with several people from the agency, one specifically saying her name was "Andrea" then "Melissa" and "Jessica" and finally "Andrew." All of the females sounded the same. One of the females said that I would be served papers at a particular address, and then the next day it was a different address. They said that I could be facing jail time for bad check writing or forgery of some sort?! Also, she kept calling me sweetie, in fact, more than one of the female names called me sweetie. Was it the same person or not? I have read other people's posts about N.A.R. They emailed a document stating they would collect the debt of the certain amount, but were willing to settle for less?! The female spoke about a plantiff and having until 5 p.m. to call her back, and when I asked the man why I was told I was told I would go to jail, or face charges, he said that he does not know who told me that!? The stories were inconsistent. And my previous debt was paid 2 years ago! I am apalled, shaken up, frightened, and mad at the same time! I am writing a complaint to the FTC, and going to file a complaint with the IC3.gov! This is horrible, I had to leave work early, and was just completely unecessary! It is a cruel world out there, and I am a law abiding citizen. Does anyone else have any words of wisdom about this matter!?

Thank you!

I received a voicemail saying my social security has been tagged blah blah blah...

maybe you should pay back mothe money you owe then you wouldnt get collection calls

pay back money that you borrow.... maybe you wouldnt get calls if you paid the money you are legally obligated to pay...people like you are the reason this economy is in debt....PAY YOUR BILLS

Why don't you mind you own business jerk. How do you know it was legit? I guess you have never heard of scams have you? Why are you on here anyway? Didn't pay the money you owe, what a jerk.

Another one, jerk that is. You don't know the circumstances so butt out. Unless you are the guy doing the calling.

Would not give name of company or who or what supposed debt even was..just that a judgement was "attached to my social"...oh, he wanted me to verify my social... CAN YOU SAY SCAMMER????

He left a message on my machine saying that there was a complaint against my social security.  The message was very vague, nasty, abrupt, offered no insight.  My daughter was here, heard the message and told me not to return their call. I owe nothing - sounds like a scam or they are just drawing straws - hoping they get the right person. I have the message saved.

I just received a very similar call  this afternoon. A gentleman called my place of employment first and left message regarding and issue with my Social Security Card.  I returned the call, and the gentleman asked directly what my SS# was.  I asked who was calling and he hung up without identifying who he was or where he was calling from.  I could hear voices in the background that sounded to me like he was calling from a public resturaunt/bar/grill.  I do not owe money to anyone and my bills are paid on time.  Somone needs to find this person and put a stop to it.  From above posts, sounds like he or they, are targeting mainly women.

What is the address or fax

What is email address

Today, April 30, 2012, a man called me from a "collection agency" stating that I had written a bad check on January 24, 2011 in the amount of $662.81.  Now the amount is $912.81 (with interest).  I told him that I did not owe anything and that I have "cover charge" on my bank accounts that will not allow a check to bounce.  He had my Social Security Number (at least the last 4 digits) and said that it had to be paid TODAY.  I told him "I bet it does!!"   The bank said that I did not have a check "bounce" on that date so I assume this whole thing is a SCAM to scare people and get money out of them.  I "googled" the number he gave me which is 888-466-8858 and it said that 75,000 calls had been made from a string of numbers which did include the 888-466-8858.  CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH MONEY THEY COULD SCAM IF PEOPLE WERE TO PAY THIS WHEN THEY GET THE CALLS???  He informed me that I had to pay this today.

May be you should go stick a chicken up ur stinking azz azzhole!

Hey Melivin the shitzz collector, come say that line to me and i'll pay you with 2 tons of chicken shitzz inside your mouth. So are we game man????? Leave these people alone or i'll have to pay you with 2 tons of chicken shitzzzz!

Chicken shitzz...Melvin. Why don't you harassed those people in front of me....better yet, give me d address of where you work, and I dare you to harassed those people in front of me? Are we game Melvin the chicken shitzzz?

Don't every reveal any personal information (especially your s.s. #) to anyone over the phone or through emails. Doing so will open yourself to idenfity theft. No legitimate companies will ask those information through the phone or email.

I just got a call from this number saying his name was Blake and that there was a compliant against my ss number......than he said that i could do the payments in 2 months of  250.........i dont know if it is true...any suggestions

Simple. Never say "Yes, I owe money", but ask for validation of the debt to be mailed to you at the address they have on file. NEVER tell them your address & answer NO questions. By law they have to show proof of debt. Simple as that. If they don't, won't. Ignore it, it's a scam. ALWAYS ask for proof.

Hey Melvin. Co sell their info and scammers get it and make you think you owe it.  So we pay our bills. These people are bottom feeders. Hey Melvin you work for a company like that? Your defending them!

Got a call from them asked for Co name they wouldn't give it untilled I verified my address.  Told them no they said then I can't give you the information.  Wtf. They got my friend at work too. And she paid them 300.00
