I received a voicemail this morning and there was a pause and then an automated message from  woman named Solen Bailey (or whatever the first name was) and said they had a delivery of electric for my address and to please call them back so they could deliver important documents on the matter. Apparently, this is another scam. You don't need documents in order to get electric service. I also did a Google search and no company had the number they were calling from and the caller didn't even state what company they were calling from.

My wife received a call from this number from a woman named Helen Bailey for ME saying that it was concerning a package that was sent to me. When she asked what it was in regards to, the woman automatically said that she would just remove the number from the list and it would take 48 hours. That's all she kept saying. Yes, another scam. Blocked the number.

received a call from this number today it was computer generated and really broken up. I called and the lady said that i had gotten a payday loan and that she was calling for litagation and if i didn't pay it the amount the were going to take me to court for was over $2000.00 for a so called $500 payday loan. she told me that i would have to go to court. She would only tel me that the names of the companies that i went thru were riverside lending and the loan was funded thru cornerstone partners. however the address she had for me was over 7 years old and she could not mail me anything to verify the loan and the info about it. she said that i got the loan online. i do not remember getting a payday loan online ever.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked 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.

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Got a voicemail that they received a fax to deliver me legal documents. The name calling was also Sloan Bailey, or something similar. When I called them they claim I was having charges brought against me for a pay day loan. I told them they did not even have my current address and she told me she was required to notify me that I would be served with papers and detained. She could not give me their address and said it was because their vehicles get vandalized when they gave it out.

Helen Bailey, the fax order lady--strikes again!

Ignore and block any calls received from this Helen Bailey, or PRA, or
PRS.  I believe these acronyms refer to the Piedmont Recovery scam.  Tend to use
variations on the Piedmont name.

PRS would appear to stand for Piedmont Recovery Services.   But this was a spoofed business name.

Not clear what “Piedmont” this is supposed to be.  Or where they are located.

In any event, a total scam.  Block and ignore any calls received from the above numbers or CIDs.  PRS and Piedmont are clearly debt scamming operations.

I got a call from this number a my work place. She never said what company she was calling from or her name. Just that I had to call so I can receive some papers. Not sure how they got my work number. This is crazy and it's harassment.

I also received a call today and didn't answer since it was an unknown number but the voicemail said it was Helen Bailey and that she received a fax to deliver some documents and she provided my daughter's name. I have no idea how they got my phone number but of course, I did not call back and blocked the caller.

I just received a call from the same people stating that it was an urgent matter concerning my husband. Gave his name but nothing else. Stated they needed to speak one of us to send paper work out. Um, no, not giving them our info. If you can't tell me who gave you my number, you are not getting anything else. You would think once they have name & number they should have the address,  correct!

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

Just got the same call.  Off to 'blocked caller' land!

Just received the same call and is now on the blocked call list.  I've been getting these calls for 10 years.

Wow - they are busy today.  Helen Bailey called my daughter and left a message about "so called documents"  to deliver to me.  I left a message and told her not to be calling around looking for me as this is against the law.
