Call from this number looking for a defendant relative number.  Did not return the call as it seems fake

When you say fake... can you speculate???

Got a call from this number 3 times looking for a distant relative I haven't seen in over 15 years, no clue where they are.  They said they are investigators told them I have no info and to remove my number and still they call.  Really makes you wonder.

Threatening to have a warrant filed for larceny in regards to a 2008 wire transfer , won't send paperwork unless I send 100.00

Legitimate process servers do not call to warn you, or to get money from you to stop the process.

I just received a call and they are a scam. Looking for someone I know but once that person made contact they just want his debit/credit number to resolve it. Won't send paperwork. Threaten to send the cops to his location. He said go ahead I am here waiting for you. I wish people look out for this. I've had a call like this once before and I knew better. It's not hard to get someone's credit report then there contact info to get a hold of them saying that they need to pay. A legitimate pierce county representative won't make threats they will just act. Well hope any of this helps. Please don't fall for it anyone who may have any more clues to this scam please share.

I received like four calls from this number believe the person they are looking for is my father new wife who I have to contact with what so ever. Believe this to be scam cause when I call my father and told him he said they have gotten the calls and person they are looking for has a different DOB then his wife Called and asked to be removed only to be hung up on. Called back and was hung up on three times and was told that they keeping hang up cause am talking to loud. Told them that if they would stop hanging up on me I wouldn't be talking loud. My advised block the number and don't call them back.

Do NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THESE PEOPLE!!! MAJOR SCAM!!! They will not give you the name of their company or it's legal address. They have now been reported to the police.

Received a message at my work and also my mother's home number. Said she was Paralegal, and she was calling with a case number and that they have sanctions in ...such County, and a callback needs to be made to schedule a deposition or there will be possible imprisonment or court. And said call and Good Luck.

Called back they said they are investigations office and I ask for the name of the company and they hung up the phone. This a scam these people should be shutdown.

They had me scared to death saying I had criminal charges

Continue to get calls for this number. They say they are searching for a relative. Do not identify themselves or the nature of their call. Need this to stop

I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING CALLS FROM THIS NUMBER EVERYDAY THREATENING TO TAKE ME TO JAIL IF I DON'T PAY. THEY CLAIM TO BE FROM A COMPANY CALLED NATIONWIDE ACCESS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY GRANDMOTHER LIVES WITH ME AND SHE SOMETIMES ANSWERS THE PHONE. THEY HAVE SCARED HER BY SAYING THEY WILL COME ARREST ME THE LAST TIME THEY CALLED MY GRANDMOTHER GOT SO UPSET AND HAD A STROKE SHORTLY AFTER THAT CALL. NOW THEY ARE CALLING AGAIN THIS TIME CUSSING.

I blocked this number and they call back from a different one! Fine, I deleted my whole virtual number and made another for free. If they can have multiple numbers, so can I!

leave a message with no name but a case number thy never say who they are looking for

For at least the last year, an illegal group of debt collectors have been terrorizing consumers, their family, friends, and employees threatening to arrest the individual of an unpaid loan or other debt (their generally don't even owe). Be aware debt is a civil matter, not a criminal matter, and you can't be arrested. They threaten a warrant if the victim does not pay a sum of money by the credit card over the phone.

Some of the people they are calling do not owe a debt.  Others they are calling have already settled their debt with the organization who owns the accounts. Even if you do owe a debt, do not be deceived by the actions of this group.  Many of the accounts they are attempting to collect they do not own.  In other words, if you pay these people, that is not going to clear your debt with its rightful owner.  

Although when pressed the callers give the victim an address in Columbia South Carolina (usually a vacant lot) or Atlanta GA (often a parking lot near the bus station). They are actually out of the Charlotte North Carolina area. The scammers are using the following business names (and there are many others, and they seem to create new ones daily).  They will normally answer the call back number as “Investigations”

Reynolds, Hill, and Associates
Berkley and Associates
Kaufmann and Associates
Sanderson Blaine & Associates
Blaine and Associates
McKenzie Reid Associates
Kennedy, Kline, & Associates
Nationwide Asset and Recovery
Piedmont Investigations and Procurement
Raffino, Garrison, & McCoy
Greenman, Schwartz & Associates
McCoy Law Group
Salem Associates
Reynolds and Associates

Here is a set of links to a variety of threads on this forum that document this group and its behavior. They include the experiences of victims as well as a former employee or two that quit within a week of finding out exactly what was going on. They also include responses from consumer advocates and people who are really criminal justice professionals advising victims of what to do

Thanks!!!

Yeah, so, a little background.  I've been getting calls for 3 years from this outfit.  The numbers they're using to call me currently are 1-888-512-1385 and 1-888-512-1278.  There have been others however.  My phone is corporate leased by a major bank which I've had for 3 years and I've informed them a number of times that I don't know who the person is that they're trying to reach and to stop calling me.  Well, you all know how that goes.  Obviously they're robocalling and either too lazy or too stupid to know how to drop numbers from whatever database they're using.  Naturally, they're rude and nasty because they're criminals which, is likely the real reason they won't remove your number.  They don't give a ****.

It occurred to me today that from now on, when I'm killing time, I'm calling them.  Even when I'm on the toilet.  Why not? The numbers are toll-free for me, not so for them.  Maybe we can all call them at the same time?  See how they like it.   I'm going to call until they block me.

Anyway, I did a little research into RJ Financial LLC and found this on Page 12 in the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce's announcement of new businesses last year...

RJ Financial Services LLC

Well, hello Mr. Tyler.

Oh, and you might be interested in viewing RJ Financial Services LLC corporate headquarters according to the address given the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce...

Tamika Bryant...Rayshawn Tyler.  Next time you get called, ask to speak directly to either Tamika or Rayshawn.  Tell them that while you're waiting for the Sheriff, they can expect a visit from the Sheriff of Mecklenburg County or CMPD as well as WBTV Channel 3 "On Your Side' if they don't stop calling you.

OMG!!! Just got "the call" from these low-lives. They left messages with 9 family members, and now they are blowing up my phone, as they are really concerned that I am about to be arrested and incarcerated!

SO, I decided to call them back and have a little fun. I gave them a fake last 4 of "my" SSN. Then I gave them a made up "case number". I was SHOCKED *grin*, that they "found me" in their "data base". Apparently, I owe a PDL place $7,256 from a loan that I took out in 1992. SERIOUSLY?

I told the [***] that I was recording their call, that I made up ALL of the info that I gave her and that my name was NOT Santana Rivers. She started screaming at me that it was illegal to call a "law office" and give fraudulent information to an "investigator" in order to obtain information that was not mine to have access to. I told her that her "company" started these fraudulent calls, and I would call her every hour, every day from any number I chose to. She was screaming like a banshee! Her "supervisor" got on the phone and told me that if I called and called and called, they would sue me for harassment. I said, "well isn't that like the pot calling the kettle black!" They were SO angry with me, I think someone might have shat their pants!

I laughed and told him "good luck with that, you scum-sucking [***]." I called from a pay-as-you-go cell phone and have access to MANY more. This could get VERY INTERESTING!

The proper local jurisdiction to file police reports would be the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department

You can make a report by telephone - If calling outside the Mecklenburg County, the Non-Emergency Crime Reporting: 704-336-7600
