888-512-1378

got a call toady.  same messege that the peoples on 877-725-5312 leave.  Must have needed to change their number. Bunch of BS

Got the same call. When will this end?

just received call from 1-888-512-1378 they left a message stating they were looking for me and gave a case number have no clue who they are must be a scam

Received a call from the same number. When will this stop? They are calling me it seems once every 2 to 3 weeks. I block their numbers from my phone but it doesn't do any good because they call every time from a different number. How do I stop this? Must be a scam.

Got a call looking for my sister.They are saying she has 3 charges and they are felonies and they are going to put out an arrest warrant for her. When i asked what was this about they wouldnt say. This is some type of scare tatic from some bill collector in order to collect a debt. I thought it was against the law to use threats. WOW! SMH! Whne you talk to them they sound like they are in a cave.

Called and for the 5th time asked them to delete my number. They said yes and time and time again they still call w a message of a warrant. Am going to report them to FTC😰

Me too same message and cannot block call

Received the same message as everyone else, called the company back, stated they were he National Investigation Association.  State I was to be sued over a BMG/JHS payday loan from 2011.  I never had a payday loan with them.  Would not provide their address for security purposes.  Total scam.

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 or a Peachtree Road Address). 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”

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

This scam has been going on for 4 years. Unfortunately they not only call me but my first wife that we divorced 30 years ago and my mother who is 81. Calling the FTC and homeland is a waste. I wish there was a way to get these thugs and put them behind bars. I stop answering the phone and know that those who may owe, that this is a civil matter. However, groups like these will try every means to threaten you, even call your employer. Is there any resource to stop this. There should be an organization that can find them and procecute. Protect citizens.

Stop all calls

called looking for my husband saying an arrest warrant would be issued from Oakland County for bank fraud.funny thing is I know that warrants aren't issued from counties. They're issued from courts/cities.  I called Oakland County to report this fraudulent company.  Funny thing is they've called before stating he owed money from a payday loan.  which we never obtained.  SCAM!!!

Just recived a call from this number stating that I have to appear in court in two weeks in west Virginia and if I do not then I will have a warrent for my arrest die to a payday loan back in 2011 that I never recived or had it is getting to the point they are calling my sister saying she will be arrested for not complying

Received a message from this number yesterday and called them back.  Stated that I had an outstanding payday loan balance of $835 from JHS that dated from 2011.  Funny, never heard of that company.  They stated that they were the National Investigation Association, and another rep stated Nationwide Investigations, and if you call back after hours the voice mail says Raffino, Garrison, & McCoy.  Had all of my info, when I pressed them for more info, like their address, they stated that they could not give it out for security purposes.  Yeah, right, just so they won't get sued or arrested themselves.  When I called back today, they simply answer "Investigations", stated that my file was closed and sent out for pre-litigation, wait a second, they told me that they were the pre-litigation department.  All they want is your hard earned money, and once they figure out that you know they are a scam or if you ask too many questions, they move on and call you back in a month or so under some new company name with a new VOIP number.  This company is illegal, they threaten arrest, can't happen, threaten to sue, won't happen.  Do NOT give them any money.

Go a call just a few hours ago saying I was do in court in Washington state on may 19 do to a debt that I never even had it was one of them pay day loan thing which I have never got money from before  and if I did not show up I would be jailed ..a hour or so later they called back from an unknown numbers stating the same thing but I would be arrested tonight  when I called back the number that showed up on my caller id ( 888-512-1378)when the girl answered she said investigation then hung up

This number keeps calling my personal phone looking for someone I don't know. Every time I tell them to stop calling me they hang up

Same call blocked number to no avail. Is there a way to get to them????

How can we stop it??  Tried FTC

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

You can also make a police report online at

These people keeps on calling me about a debt I do not own, threaten me with arrest if I did not pay. I just filled a police report against these [***]. Thanks CC.
