888-493-5960

Caller: County Processing Division
Called from: 919-629-3852

Caller advised they were calling from County Processing Division, provided a "Case Number" and asked to call 888-493-5960. When calling 888-493-5960, they advised they are Trustmark National calling about a debt owed with US Bank that has resulted in a complain in my county. They couldn't provide a county court case number. They represented themselves as an attorney's office.

This is a normal method of trying to scare people into paying them money. They are a scam, and should be treated with caution.

Someone called stating there was a court process that i needed to take care of immediately! He asked if i was aware of thia matter, duh dummy how can i be aware if you cant tell me what ita pertaining too! Then he asked if i received the letter they mailed out 30 days ago & i said no cuz ive been in jail the last 8 months!

There are TWO violations in that call --1. They claim to be a government (county) employee and 2.  they  claim to be a lawyer.

My call came from 540-709-5001 which caller id said "Rapp Area YMCA". Was advised their was a civil case against me in Texas ( never been anywhere near there) & need to call same # 888-493-5960 & give them a case # she told me! Did not call the 888 # as was scared so I looked it up here!

Got a call from a local call from (201) 620-9321, caller is an african american lady, asking for my sibling (so wrong number to begin with). When I asked what this is about, she stated that this is regarding a civil matter, that he is being sued in Monroe County in New York, that they are trying to avoid him having to go to court so he needs to call 1888 493 5960 and gave me a reference number. When I asked if she is calling from the county's office or an attorney office, she said no, she just handles the "notification".

Call from local 325-267-9574-She stated that this call is regarding a civil matter, that I was being sued in Jones County, that they are trying to avoid me from having to go to court so I need to call 1-888 493 5960 and she gave me a case number.  She never said who she worked  for. She also said that I have been served papers at an old address I lived at over 12 years ago.  I called the number and got a guy named James O'Neal he gave me a fax number 323-457-2118 no information

Quote:

I called the number

A lot of posters on 800notes complain they get many calls from scammers.
A few posters state they get hardly any.
Why the difference?  Here are possible reasons.

Click on the associated "Info" button under any statement to read why NOT to use that method.

Answering the phone when the caller's number is unfamiliar.    

Pressing a number "to be taken off the list"

Returning the call.

Arguing with the caller:

Blowing a horn or whistle into the phone:

Forwarding the call to a government office.

Giving or forwarding the supposed scammer's phone number to other scammers.

Getting a new phone number

What you SHOULD do:
If you are disturbed by frequent calls from scammers / spammers. obtain a call blocker app, device, phone, or service.  Google is your friend.  Remember, the Do Not Call list is designed to prevent calls from registered telemarketers, but scammers / spammers do not register, and they ignore that policy!

I received a call from what appeared to be a local Arkansas phone number. When I answered it, a male stated he is with the county I live in litigation office. But the number he called from was in a completely different county within the state. RED FLAG one!  He then continues to tell me that somebody has filed a civil case against me and it's important that I call the 1-888-493-5960 number for further information. He acted concerned that somebody might take me to court without my knowledge. RED FLAG two! I then asked for his name and what company he is with, he again stated the LOCAL county office, yet his accent was not those of the small country town women whom I know work in that office. RED FLAG three! The caller then stated a specific case number which I know is certainly not the correct format for a civil case number in my local area. THIS IS A SCAM! I'm definitely not going to call the number for any further information and I would not recommend anyone else doing it.

These people have contacted me and my husband claiming that someone is suing me in civil court...when u call the number they claim to be a law firm but won't give you any information on their firm or what they do..they ask you for you ss# don't give it to them!!! If someone was really suing you they would already have this information and they would not be contacting you from a 1-888 number.  They don't stop calling.  Report them1/888/493-5960

My son got a call from these people ting they were tying o get in touch with me he gave me the #I called them they said I owed td bank money that if I. Took care of it they wouldn't take me to court. My son looked up the phone number he said not to give them anything it was a scam

They call family, friends, and neighbors to create panic and embarrassment so that their intended victim calls them and they can scare that person into paying their extortion money.

Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
List of State AG’s offices:  http://consumerfraudreporting.org/stateattorneygenerallist.php

It's seriously creepy...how do they get the numbers of people we know???  I will be filing a complaint!

Search your name on the internet.  There are sites that list relatives, friends, etc.  Pictures of your home, street level and satellite view.  Big Brother is watching.  Nothing is private anymore.

This fax number appears here:  http://www.faqle.com/legal/need-professional- ... gas-nv-1051642/  (2014)

Mentions something called the Lincoln Group (LG Group) and another,  Portfolio Solutions.  The      "Lincoln Group" is basically a zombie organization with no legal existence that anyone can find.  No group called Portfolio Solutions that deals in debt collection, that I can find either.

The name James O'Neal appears on 800notes 909-284-9032 as working for Sage Lincoln financial legal firm.  I'm sure it's the same as the "Lincoln Group".

_______________________
This is what I've been able to find out about this group of scammers:

slfinancial.net  (parked site)

Sometimes ID themselves as S & L Financial a so-called "mediation and legal office" which is scammer double-talk for debt collector.

Supposedly Sage Lincoln Financial Firm, in Ontario CA.

According to an entry date 6-12-2015 at 844-416-7133 on 800notes, they have a mail drop address at: 3281 East Gausti Road, 7th Floor, Ontario, California, 91761

This Gausti Road address is also used by Westpoint Group another scamming outfit.

Can't find anything in the records of the Secretary of State of California.

Often say they are a law firm or a litigation firm, or that they are going to serve you with process or that a law suit is pending.  Total scam operation.
