- . replies to justice will prevail| 2 repliesThey are reported to have very high turnover, due to treating the fake "process servers" as "independent contractors" who only get paid a "commission" on "settlements" closed by the closers.
They have been running employement ads on Craigslist and other sites for a number of months. Should be rather easy to slip someone in, although they might have to "con" a bunch of people to stay there a while. - . replies to DonIf you have an existing bad debt, that would likely show up if they pulled one of your credit reports.
Check your credit reports, particularly Experian, and see if you have a recent inquiry from them. - . replies to .| 2 repliesAt the rate you are scaling up, you would have to have a steady source of targets that scales up at the same rate or faster.
As you continue to employ the fake "process server" tactic, aimed at coercing "settlements" without validation, we may assume you are not "buying debt portfolios".
For your growth to continue at this rate, estimated by (complaint rates x company names), you would either have to have an increasing group of "debt creators", or you would have to efficiently acquire potential lists of targets to pull credit reports on.
Innefficiently targetting credit inquiries would increase your risk of prosecution.
Are you buying promotional credit offer lists from, say, Experian, under an alias? - You are funny replies to .| 1 replyAnd must be really bored. So many acquistions like you are someone of importance and intelligence. If you had any intelligence you would figure out that the company owns the debt and we pay for the debt and to make millions it's basically a waste of time to send every little person a validation letter that doesnt want to pay their debt anyways. The company has millions of debts that we bought in yes debt portfolios for .5 to .30 cents to the dollar why waste time on people that aren't going to pay anyways. You can tell in the first minute if someone is going to pay or not and if they truly sound like they are going to pay, guess what i'm sure they get that validation letter. If they are cursing and yelling screw it just send them to 800notes to write their life stories
- why dont you do it replies to .| 1 replyThen you can see that it is legit! Even if you are in another state if you are so worried fly out here work for the company and figure it out yourself...:-) Or is everything you are saying on here crap?
- ? replies to .| 3 repliesI did contact the Corona Police Department and that was a joke.
The officer I spoke to didn't even know what a "BOILER ROOM" is.
He said he had never heard that terminology before.
The officer said he had gone to the building at 495 E Rincon iin Corona Ca
He said when he arrived nobody acted surprised and they just kept on talking on the phone.
So in the officer's mind everything is cool and business is as usual at the CORONA DEBT SCAM.
Corona Ca is a backwards [***] up city. That's why they are pulling this scam there.
They would never get away with this [***] in LA or ORANGE COUNTY
C'mon Corona get your [***] together and help out your citizens that are sick of being scammed. - . replies to why dont you do itIt would be more entertaining for Dateline to do what they did with Boyland.
You could have your 15 minutes of fame. - . replies to ?FBI has taken down similar operations, like the Buffalo boiler rooms in the '90s.
Guess it deserves to be called the Corona Scam.
Local police are probably outclassed. - . replies to ?One of their shills was bragging about that visit. Said four officers arrived, left, and did nothing.
It would take a forensic audit of the alleged "debts", tracing back to the original creditors, to build a case, not something you would just see walking in the door. The callers hired off the street are as conned as the people they are calling. They may even have a few legitimate "bad debts" around, to show off if they have to, but the high complaint levels alleging non-existent debts supports that most are fake.
The Buffalo boiler rooms targetted retirees with "investment" scams, and the like, up until the mid 1990s, when the FBI went after them. That is also when Congress passed the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud Act and Abuse Protection Act of 1994.
After that, a lot of them switched to "debt collection", some of it basically this same scam. Dateline found Boyland, a former bank robber who wanted a "business" when he got out of prison, having his people call pretending to be "police detectives from Maryland".

After that, the [***] hit the fan in New York.

Despite all that, here is the same type of "fake process server/fake lawsuit" scam, still running in New York.
https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-866-283-6603
A lot of other fraudulent telemarketers are located across the border in the Montreal area, particularly "advance fee loan" fraud.
"Mixed" fraud is more difficult to prove. CAMCO was alleged to be collecting 80% of their revenue from unowed debt when FTC shut them down.
http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2004/12/camco.shtm - . replies to ?One question:
Have you checked your credit reports?
Look for two types of inquiries:
1) A recent collections inquiriy under one of the Corona cluster names, like PMG, HGG, ARM, AF Group, etc. (Some have even reported finding two recent inquiries.)
2) A earlier but still recent "promotional" inquiry, possibly under a name that looks like a "lender", or "debt refinance" firm, probably tied to the Corona or So.Cal. area. One of the earliest companies linked to this cluster was in the "debt negotiation" business, but also with lawsuits and scam complaints. They might appear legitimate enough to be buying consumer lists from the credit reporting agencies supposedly to make "offers of credit", but equally usable as "leads" in this scam. - Morons make me LOL replies to kelly quigley"I'm a legal student"... After reading this I laughed out loud. You could have fooled me- You make yourself sound so uneducated. Your vocabulary and punctuation suck! I love reading reviews like this. It's cheap entertainment!
- JTW replies to Satisfied| 1 replyBINGO.... they buy the debt, that is why the original creditor is not affiliated with them. I did my homework and settled my debt.
- Mad as Heck replies to aaa| 8 repliesIf you need more proof just call the police. When they tell you you should not pay because the company is under investigation for "fraud" that should be a clue. Again please don;t take my word for it call the authorities and get it from them.
- Only because replies to Mad as Heck| 6 replieslow lifes such as yourself I'm assuming will do anything possible to not pay their debts. And like I said the police have came in and looked around talked to the manager for an hour and then left. The police department doesn't like to deal with people calling them because they dont want to pay what they owe, so yeah I'm sure they tell you whatever you want to hear so you stop calling them. I'm sure banks get robbed and people get shot and they cant answer the phone because you want to cry about ur debt. Good job bud
- how bout replies to Mad as HeckYOu come in and investigate it yourself...? Like I said we're always hiring. Unless 800notes is your job
- aaa replies to .| 1 replyreplies....i called my brother and he said it does have the original creditor name and account number and nationwide name and account number or reference number it is on a letterhead so all the paper work is in order so i dont see a problem oh yes it also states that this is a one time settlement offer.
- aaa replies to Only becauseonly because...your misusing the word low life,,,low life means a sleazy lying debt collector who works for a sleazy debt collection company that has a F rating with the BBB.

- . replies to Demon EyesWanna bet the "process server", calling from California, is not registered and bonded as required by California law.
- . replies to You are funnyWidespread use of deception, abusive and harassment, and illegal threats, indicates other likely deception is involved. It's a basic counterdeception and forensic investigation heuristic. Evasion of validation points to deception in the alleged "debt" claim itself.
"it's basically a waste of time to send every little person a validation letter that doesnt want to pay their debt anyways."
FDCPA requires that you send a "g" letter within 5 days of initial contact. The law doesn't care what you think. You contact, you better send the letter. You have a bunch of excuses why you don't have to or don't want to, but you just admitted you regularly and intentionally violate FDCPA and state law requirements that you notify alleged debtors that they have a right to dispute and demand proof. You don't want disputes because you can't get proof. That shows the crafting of a con.
"The company has millions of debts that we bought in yes debt portfolios for .5 to .30 cents to the dollar why waste time on people that aren't going to pay anyways."
If you never validate, there is no reason to believe you. You aren't buying anything for "30 cents on the dollar" and still paying the "30% commission" you advertise in your employment ads. The numbers don't add up consistent with buying anything.
"You can tell in the first minute if someone is going to pay or not and if they truly sound like they are going to pay, guess what i'm sure they get that validation letter."
And yet there are no consumer complaints reporting receiving any such "g" letter, only some of your own shill posts. Just the numerous complaints of fake "process server" calls to relatives (when you clearly have the victim's actual address from pulling their credit report), and maybe some vague "settlement" letter, usually by email. You are avoiding the U.S. Mail, probably to avoid being nailed on mail fraud charges.
