888-577-5022

This number has been calling my grandmother's house EVERY morning saying that they are calling from the Harris County Police Department and I have a civil suit against me. First off, my grandmother lives in Louisiana. I live in Harris County in Houston...shouldn't be hard to look me up. And when I called the number back, it said I had reached the fraud department...the fraud department of WHAT?!?

I received a similar phone call and voice mail message.  They didnt say who they were with and they dont even have my information correct (thank god!). Only my name, but Wrong Social and DOB.  It sounds like they wanted me to verify mine.  HELL NO!  Sounds like a MAJOR scam to me!

I received an automated message from this number. Did not say who they were. Not calling back and have added their number to my call blocking app.

Received a call today saying they were from the FRAUD DEPT. Amen to previous posts, fraud dept of what??  Saying they were looking for some info to provide to lawyer for a case. (Against someone who does not live here and someone I have never heard of). Sounds like they're the fraud!  Said she was "Investigator Jones"  and the case was being filed in Wayne county. Sounds like a scam to me.

The "Fraud Department" of a shady debt collector who buys up old, probably beyond the statue of limitations, debt and tries to bully people into paying with illegal threats of arrest.  They violate numerous portions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act with their tactics. Their favorite tactic is to claim that the debtor has committed "fraud" by not paying the debt and they have a warrant for their arrest but if they pay $xxx.xx today they will cancel the warrant or similar lines.  Fraud can only be claimed if it can be proven that loans were taken or debts were accrued with the intention of never paying them back. They refuse to provide written validation notices of the debt by US Mail as required by law and refuse to properly identify themselves and theri company as you can tell from the messages left.  Most likely they are just another in the growing population of scam artists.

A woman from this number called early on Wednesday, Feb. 20th, wanting my older brothers phone number and how to locate him, stating that she was investigating him and pressing charges. Would not say who she worked for or what it was about, so I hung up on her. Later that day, I called back to find out what was going on and as it was after 5pm, I wasn't surprised when it went to voicemail and all it says it "Department of Fraud". I told my mom and like me, her first question was "Department of Fraud for who or what?"

No one in history has every been charged in "civil court" for collection of a debt with the exception being bad checks.  And then this is not a "Civil Suit".  They have called my wife, myself, my mother and my wife's mother threatening this crap.  We have informed them if they continue to dial those other numbers the attorney will in fact contact them & it will cost them $1500 per number per call (True story - you can do this!  Talk to an attorney - most legit ones will do this for a % of what is collected).  They have the number they need to call, that has been verified.  We are not trying to escape something that is our responsibility but this is harassment plain & simple & illegal to threaten that.  This is all information the attorney told us.

Contaced "Investigator Springfield" from the Department of Fraud Department of Fraud (LOL) since they kept calling my parents, siblings and associates.  She advised that she was retained by Capitol Solutions to locate me for a payday loan by CMG or BMG Group LLC.  I advised that I never had a payday loan and that she was the 3rd Collection agency to try to collect this unowed debt.  I also advised that her message violated the Federal Debt Collectors Practice Act.  She had the audacity to say that that Law doesnt apply to her because she is not a debt collector.  I advised that since she is not the originator of the loan she is INDEED a third party and the law pertains to her.  She initially refused to give me her address but then gave me a P.O. Box 560385, Charlotte, NC 28256.  I have reported them to Floridas Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission and waiting to hear back from an Attorney who I forwarded all their messages too because I found out you can sue them and get up to $1000 per incident AND they will pay the Attorney fees.  LOVE IT!
Their alleged website is www.dofraud.org  (trying to sound official, SAD)

DO Not give them Any info. Do not call back. It is a scam. They even went as far as to fake a phone call from the sheiffs ofgice. Spoke with actual sheriffs office, that sheriff does not exist. They get your get your info somehow and tell you that you owe Oh a debt. I know mine was handled during bankruptcy back in 2009. They wll try to bully you and say if you don't pay you will go to jail. Then had a fake sheriffs deputy call and say that we should call the 888# back and handle it or they will come arrest you.  Spoke with sheriffs and police dept, this is a scam. Filed complaint. Also told to call FTC, SSA, all three credit bureaus and natl fraud crime line. Tis is [***]. Do not call back or answer they will harrass you.

I receive a call from this number every other day about a payday loan I NEVER received.  They have called my family, my old jobs, everywhere trying to collect on something I didn't get.  Thank you TTTOTS for that information, I wasn't going to respond to them at all, but the final straw was them contacting my brother in law at work to get to me and giving him all kinds of information that, if you Google me, would come up except my association with my brother-in-law.  It's really sad.  And to the people making comments about why they would call someone if they weren't owed the monies or just being a general jack... grow up.  This site is for people who genuinely need help finding out information.

They are calling my 16 year old son cell leaving messages they are the fraud department looking for his grandmother.....outrageous

CLARK’S site   www.csacollection.com does business on a pro bono bases i.e. he offers to take no payments unless the debt is recovered, which means his tactics are ruthless. He also hires other folks, whom I presume also don’t get paid unless they collect on the debt.  It doesn't matter if the debt has already been paid they'll still harasses you and your family CHILDREN included.

There are enough peoples out there who are being harassed by this individual/company SO a class action lawsuit under the Fair Debt Collection can be started. Everyone needs to group together to get this company closed

LAWSUITS under the Fair Debt Collect rule can collect $1000 per infraction/individual (see FTC)

FINALLY: If debtors are using this company to collect debts, they too may be liable under the Fair Debt Collection rule

LETS GO

Received call from 888-577-5022. They called themselves 'Fraud Investigation Services' or something like that located in North Carolina.  These are nothing but collection agencies for payday loans. I know this because I briefly worked at a company like this.. These clowns called me up and stated 'charges' were going to be filed against me. Of course, I asked them how can they file'charges against me if theyre not a law enforcement agency or State Attorneys' office? Of course I was given the run around. 'Charges' that they are referring to are nothing more than accusations.

Dont be scared of these people. They used scary terminology such as 'charges filed against you' or 'civil suit', etc,etc, to frighten you into paying off a payday loan. Get yourself familiar with the FDCPA. Legally, they cannot threaten you with arrest or tell you that theyre gonna sue you.

They asked for my address and so I asked for their mailing address and they refused to give it to me. Dont quote me on this but if I'm not mistaken many states require by law that businesses must give out their mailing address when asked. I finally laughed in the guy's face and hung up.

These people are nothing more than collection agencies for payday loans. I very briefly worked for a similar company (dont hold that against me). if youre not already, get familiar with the FDCPA and be aware than you can sue them for violation of debt collection practices ($1000 or $1500 per violation if I'm correct).

Do not let these clowns scare you! By law they cannot threaten you with arrest nor say thay they are going to sue you.

As per concerned consumer:
Since this group is actually operating out of the Charlotte area, the proper local jurisdiction to file police reports would be the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department
http://charmeck.org/city/charlotte/CMPD/Pages/default.aspx

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

I have to wonder why all these posts suddenly showing up in a threads with childish copy and paste posters.
