    Lea, the EXACT same thing happened to me this past week! They called my parents, too! I FINALLY answered their call and gave me the same BS story. They had the last 4 digits of my SS # too. When I really started hammering them with questions, they got extremely irritated and RUDE! I asked "Do you always treat your so-called clients like this?" His reply was "I've been very busy today, I only have 1/2 hour til I'm done work and I'm tired!" Well, it got heated and I asked what his name was and he said "Jon Anderson" and I replied, "Ok, Jon Anderson, my name is Jane Doe and I will get to the bottom of this!" He hung up.....

    IPS, International Processing Solutions, ARA -- a lot of phony and not-so-phony DBAs and Zombie companies.

    Part of the Global Scam most likely out of Jamaica or perhaps the Island of Nevis.  Or perhaps Nassau in the Bahamas.

    They also call from other numbers see: 251-301-9797, 800notes.  This is a Jamaican or Nevis (I'm pretty sure) offshore group.  They also go by the name, Spotlight,  Global Solutions, GDS, GDS Solutions  as well as Capital Risk  Capital Services Capital Law and Provisional Risk Services.  Also ITS and IPS, ARA and NAR.  National Recovery,   NRA, Northwest Recovery. They may use other  CIDs and phony creditors as well.  Their signature phrase when you ask them where they are located is to say: "they are in Miami but have 48 locations in the US".  Right.   Lately they’ve been adding the phrase “except Hawaii and Alaska.  Just to show you they now have learned some geography.  These people are nothing more than   overseas scammers.  Ignore these people and block their calls.
    Report them:  See:  http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
    My own research suggests that they are the remnants of
    CWB Services, LLC.  (Cutter Group)
    2114 Central Avenue
    Kansas City, MO 64110
    Sued by the FTC in 2013.  Can’t operate in the US, so they used their Jamaican or Nevis or Nassaue subsidiaries to carry on the scam.  Which accounts for the US – like scamming operations they engage in.

    I received a phone call from this phone number 855 594 2331 and they informed me that I borrowed payday loan money from Kingston Marketing in April 2013.  I never borrowed any money from this company and I told them I was going to the bank today to see if Kingston Marketing put any money in my account.  they said they would report back to Kingston to let them know I am disputing this claim.  What can I do?  The name they gave me was Coastal.

    Coastal just called me too! Said I owed money to Kingston online loans. Did they actually serve you papers? I called the Oklahoma Attorney Generals Office. They said it's likely a scam and the number they called from is bogus. Most likely an out of country scammer. (Hince the name Kingston....Kingston Jamacia).

    Travis replies to Janice thomas
    The Oklahoma Attorney General Office told me today that it's a common payday loan scam. Your info is sold to whoever wants to buy it. I was called today too. I've spent all day investigating this. Coastal had my old bank account info along with old employer and the last four of my ss#. The OAGO told me Coastal number was bunk. Prolly out of country. They went on to say if you continue to answer their calls they will sell your number to others as a guaranteed person who will answer their phones. (Guess that is worth something to these scammers). Call your local Attorney Generals Office and the FTC to file a complaint.

    All debt collectors are required by law to send you a DEBT VALIDATION. This is sent through the USPS ONLY (email, text, faxes, carrier pigeons, smoke signals...none of those count) and state when you incurred the debt, to whom you owe the original debt, and how to proceed should you not recognize the amount.
    REAL DEBT COLLECTORS SEND THIS. Scammers do not.

    A few other things to know-
    -You cannot be arrested for ordinary debt in the United States.
    -Process servers do not call in advance. They only get paid if they deliver you papers the court (not a private company) has ordered be delivered, and if you flee, they don't get paid. Therefore, they do not call ahead of their arrival.
    -Likewise, officers do not call you to tell you they will be arresting you. Why would they?

    I received a call from someone claiming to be from International Processing Solutions saying that I owed $390 for a payday loan from Kingston Marketing LLC from 2011.  I never had any kind of loan with them and never heard of Kingston Marketing LLC.  They also called my parents' house.  I asked for a validation of debt letter.  They sent me an e-mail with a letter attached and the person the letter is addressed to isn't me.  I told the caller that if she's claiming the loan is from 2011 the statute of limitations has long since expired on this so-called debt.  They also threatened arrest which is illegal and I told her so.  She claimed she was not a debt collector so the law didn't apply.  I called her on it and she hung up on me. But I did get an e-mail.  I sent them a request for validation letter and it will be interesting to see what I get back again.  I believe they are total scammers.

    "They sent me an e-mail with a letter"  E mail is not a legal way to communicate this debt.  It must be mailed with 5 days of first contact as per federal law.  IPS is a known criminal enterprise pretending to be a debt collector, and yes they are debt collectors is they are trying to get you to pay for a debt whether real or imaginary.  By the way, SOL has to do simply with being able to take you to court to sue you, not on the actual attempt to collect a debt, unless you live in Mississippi or Wisconsin.

    This is a common ploy by criminals masquerading as debt collectors who are attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this,  all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  One of the tricks they use is to call your work place, friends, or relatives repeatedly in an attempt to shame you into paying.  They also use the “process server” ruse who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number

    Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
