8888550751

Just like all you of you same thing happened to me. Except the number they gave me was 1-866-299-8558, the guys name was Thomas Levy. When I called a lady answered saying "how may I direct your call?" They called my dads workplace and my mom answered and they told her in spanish if I had any troubles lately because they were calling regarding a civil complaint. The idiot my mom spoke to said she was from the texas civil courts. My mom left me a frantic message and I called them immediately. I was told I would be summoned tomorrow and that I was being sued on a loan that my ex husband and I had back in 2000. Long story short I was about to pay 2000 to be left alone but when I got home and looked at the email the moron sent me my name was mispelled. Everything wasn't right so I goggled these idiots and saw these postings. Thanks to you guys and my parents I was about to make the biggest mistake and pay these idiots because I thought I was being sued!

The company associated with this number 18662998558 are quite the tricksters. They first call you on this number 16317753087 and pretend to be a different company. They inform you that if you do not contact them by noon the next day, then they will file a civil suit case against you or your family member. The give you this number 18662998558. You call this number and an answering service transfers your calls based on a case number. At this point, they try to get you to admit to either being that person or helping them locate that person. DO NOT CALL TEHM OR PAY THEM. I HAVE REPORTED THEM TO THE NY AND KY STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Paystar called and threatened to repossess my car and have me taken to jail if I didn't pay.  I stupidly paid.  Well, my parents paid the balance on a credit card and now I am paying them back.  I realize I got ripped off, but if anyone has any information as to how I can stop the payments or get the amount ($3,000) reversed I would appreciate it.  I can't just stop making the payments because it would ruin my parents credit rating.

Head Debt Collectors:
Anthony Picone
Barry Calvagna
Huntington Station, NY

We thought this scam died back in the nineties, but it is alive and well, operating from Huntington Station, from New York. Debt buyers United Abstract Group, Inc., are bottom feeders who use their entity of C. Barry & Associates, LLC, who operate out of the same address to lie, intimidate and totally misrepresent their illegal debt collection practices.

Owners Barry Calvagna and Anthony Picone are about to feel the wrath of the legal system for their blatant disregard for the law and consumer rights. Not to mention the fact that we could NOT locate one state where they are licensed or bonded in.

Calls to their office result in debt collectors who don’t have any answer (they are all operators and not sure if the phones they answer are a law office) to one brazen gutter tramp who insisted they are the law office of Michael Greenberg who files suits on debts. Their notices violate a host of federal and state laws; their accounts are out of statutes, which show how desperate these fools really are.

Take a look below at the incredibly stupid notice they are sending out, see if you can count how many FDCPA violations it has. To say these sewer rats are dumb is an understatement. These folks have NOT a clue of what they are doing; here is what we found on their website:

“These are some of the services that we offer:

Title Search and Retrieval

Real Estate Closings

Debt Sales And Acquisitions

Charge-off Credit Card Debt Recovery

Medical Self Pay/Insurance Claims Recovery

Education/Tuition Recovery”

“We offer investment opportunities for the serious investor.”

If you cannot even send out a letter that is in compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, how in the world can you make money doing what they claim, above? … (I had to keep asking myself…”How could anyone be this dumb?)

A SERIOUS INVESTOR would need a LOT of money to pay their legal fees because our impression of these dummies is they can’t do anything right, they have unprofessional and under-trained collectors working for them and who uses this scam anymore?

Take a look at what they are sending out from the old, worthless, out of statute portfolios they are desperately trying to collect on because it’s hard to believe that any debt collector is really this STUPID!

Paystar International based out of LI New York. Employees Karen Jenson and Dawn Summer..

Big time scam artist. I just ran a background check on Karen Jenson and Dawn Summers both have prior felony convictions!!! For DUI!!!! Go figure..

I will be posting home addresses for both Karen Jenson and Dawn Summers feel free to send them Christmas cards or better yet once I have the phone numbers we can all call these two cuties just as they have a tendency to call individuals with no outstanding debts.

Karen/Dawn, I wish you both good luck you will be needing it. .

Received call yesterday, caller ID said it was from Nationwide Processing and the # on the ID was 631-755-3087.  Message stated that a family member had given the name of a member of my household as an 'emergency contact'.  A woman by the name of Karen Jensen said it was concerning a legal matter for the family member and gave a case number. She said that the emergency contact was to relay the message and to call 866-300-7907.  I didn't call them back and won't relay the message.  This is either an attempt to collect an old debt or some type of scam. Beware!

My mother got a call today from paystar about a debt i owed. the name i was to ask for was karen jensen. i called and after being on hold was told by a man who refused to reveal his name said she was in a meeting. he was nice at first then fast became horrible. told me i was being sued for a chase visa card i opened in may 2004 and closed june 2007. i told him that was incorect bc i have not had one credit card since college in 2000. he kept saying yes u did stop lying to me. it was the only visa u ever owned. i said no it wasnt, i owned a prepaid and also had a visa debit from capital one with no debt. my identity was stolen so that may be a card in my name. he started yelling at me, yes yelling that i am a liar and a bad person. he said i also am an authorized sears card user. i said yes i WAS in 2001 for my nanny job but never held the card or even used it.he just kept yelling and saying im a horrible person and ill be served with arrest warrant today. i said for what?. the whole time never raising my voice and the last thing he said was i cant talk t you when you are constantly screaming obscenities at me. then he hung up on me.i was left feeling helpless esp since i never raised my voice or yelled obscenities.

IGNORE THE SCAMMERS.

They are a newish collection company, probably grown out from another collection company/law firm.

Called me about son. Same as above. When I inquired, I was treated as adversarial. When I persisted, "Steven Kline" said he was from Paystar International.

So is this Pay Star a legit collection agency or is it a scam?

They called me saying they needed my information to confirm some ladies residence to the county I live in.  Never heard of her before.  Stupid scammers.  It was paystar international and I talked to jensen.

Person stating that I had until 1a.m. EST to phone 1-888-576-1260.  They also called my sons cell phone in another state and my daughters cell phone in still another state and harassed them as well.  The bill they are calling about belongs to my ex-husband and although I filed a complaint with thej AG's office and the company stated they would not longer contact me, they have begun again

Scum....Casey Cam/needed to let me know they needed to serve me paper and I told her that was fantastic. Said they were going to make one more attempt to deliver it. I said fantastic and she giggled and I proceeded to tell her to do not call me at work ever again and I continued to overtalk her. Hey...you wanna play a game...bring it. Dumb [***] I have no debt with this scum and would never ever send them money!!!

I received a very nasty message on my work office phone and immediately looked them up.  Glad you guys posted what you have and I can not waste anymore time.  AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT"

sounds like the same people...
only he said he was detective, then he said he worked for Nationwide Processors and theyd failed twice trying to deliver a subpeona for me concerning my lawsuit with Goldwin Mayer. Told him I didnt know what he was talking about. Thank God my coworker took my phone from me and asked for all his contact info.... name David Goldberg....after a lot of hesitation on his part, bogus ph # 1 877 783 6184.... number I traced back to India!! Maybe dame people but sounds like theyre changing it up a bit.

This is a common ploy by criminals 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.  They also use the “process server” who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number.  Now why would a “process server” want to do you, a stranger, a favor, and at the same time not get paid to deliver the papers?

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.

How do u get them from stop calling everyone in my family about a legacy visa I never had?  Threatening to take me to court but have no paper information from them?

Myster Bishop called me at work saying his company sent police to my residence and has been calling people related to me (they aren't related to me). I asked for his information and told him to stop harassing people I don't know and then he said "pay your bill!" and hung up.

Shady! But if you call them on their lies they get frustrated and hang up.

I had a phone call from a Kristen from Nationwide processors , but the number was blocked ! She left a message saying I was getting summoned for a debt with a cash Advance America and that if I didn't accept her paperwork they would put me as a no-show for court! She then left a phone number and a case number for me to call DSF I spoke to a Steven the phone number was +1-877-241-7731 and they wanted me to pay $400! I told him that I would be calling my attorney to let my attorney deal with it and he hung up on me!

Got a call from an unlisted number. Said they were from Nationwide Processors. Wanted me to call 844-552-6226 to get information about a court case. They gave me the case no. Thanks to this thread I will not be calling them.
My understanding is that any summons from a court would be delivered in person or by certified mail in plenty of time before the court date. Don't believe any of the lies from these scammers.
