Still proves nothing at all.

FDCPA requires that if you request it, they must obtain proof of the debt FROM THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR and send it to you.  No letterhead, even with account information, proves anything but that they got access to your brother's old account information.  

Numerous consumer complaints have reported that they access credit files shortly before they make the fake "process server" calls.

"Settling" a "debt" by paying a con artist settles nothing.

You sure don't want anyone to call the police.  You want everyone to believe that the authorities will continue to do nothing.  Why is that?

Contact the Riverside office of the FBI.

Just tried the number you listed for the DA's Office in California; it was answered as "Credit Stoppers", not a government agency.  Why this mislead?  Another part of this scam?

Are you really that dumb and arrogant to belive that the police just came by to say hi
and have a chat. You obviously are not the smartest criminal in the world.
Believe me they are on to you and have all the names of all the players involved.

That idiot is prob just trying to get business for his company. That's why he posted all the bullcrap

very cute

"Well like I said people mine was in stat and I remembered it and yes I paid it."
"Remembering" it doesn't prove you owe anything to any caller demanding money.
Legitimate debt collectors send the required "g" letter within 5 days, allowing consumers to dispute and obtain validation.  Nice that you know the terminology, "in stat", but then, you're a shill.

"And in 30 days I can send you the picture of my credit report fixed as well."
Sure you can, shill.  Debt collectors cannot remove negative information posted by the original creditor.

"If you read up on it, it really doesnt matter if this company gets shut down or if you sue them and win, your debt will not disappear because of it, it will just be sold to another debt collection company."
Although pretending to be a debtor, shill is trying to portray the debt as "legitimate", and "purchased", goals of the scam.  The intended perceptions are woven into the story.

"Who will start calling your family and friends once again. "
Legitimate debt collectors generally contact the alleged debtor directly.  This scam almost always first contacts relatives or employers, even when they have contact information from recently pulling a credit report.  Attempt to portray their MO as "legitimate", which is the goal of a shill.  

Shill.

Google identifies it as "Crime Stoppers" NOT "Credit Stoppers".

It is a crime tip line for Riverside County, connected to law enforcement in that county.

Looks like YOUR information is the "mislead".

Usual Corona Scam shill BS.

Deceive 'em, denigrate 'em, attack 'em, confuse 'em.
It's all the same.

The Corona Scam.

Bringing families back together.

Your calls cross state lines, which puts this under FBI jurisdiction.  

Your number of employees. or "independent contractors" or whatever you call them, puts the size of your operation in the hundred thousand to million dollar range per month, just based on rent and phone service overhead costs.  That easily meets the threshold that gets the FBI interested.

Usual procedure in wire fraud cases is to get a sealed court order authorizing a wire tap, and start collecting recorded calls.  

Your most active phone numbers are public knowledge, obtainable through complaints or easily findable on the Internet, and the rest can be obtained with a subpoena to your telephone company, with no tip-off to you.

You pull credit reports, and FCRA authorizes law enforcement to get access to them also, with no indication they have pulled them, but including all the inquiry information that shows when you got them and what you got.  In fact, they could ask Experian for all the credit reports YOU pulled, and you would have no clue.

You can be happily scamming for months, while they just collect evidence, and you wouldn't even know it.

Okay so it has been a few weeks.  So far I have had to go to my local police department 4 times to sign 4 separate complaints, 1 criminal and 3 civil, against this company.  Two were out of state processes for the Riverside County Sheriffs office and those complaints name a Director I had not heard of before named Sam Johnson and the "Partners" for National Filing Service.  Turns out these idiots formed NFS as partnership.

Now I  do have to feel sorry for the idiots working for these frauds.  It is clear that the workers have zero training and are most likely not aware they are committing fraud.  Maybe when the hammer falls the employees will be spared and only the bosses will get sent away.

Most of their shell corps are set up as LLCs.
Some of their names (like "HGG", registered to PMG) are just registered DBAs.
Some just appear to be "noise" variants, similar to other names they use, like "DF Group", "Maple Filing Services", or "Rockwell".
The most common "director" names across the various LLCs on corporationwiki were Lunsford and Begley.

Some of their LLCs show up owned by other LLCs, including a couple LLCs in Wyoming that apparently failed to renew their state registration.
Like these:

Some of the Corona business license information has one LLC owning another, like the Global/National LLCs.

You might find this interesting, particularly the "People who visited this profile also visited... " part.
It appears that a lot of others have been trying to follow the web of connected companies, including some false hits.  It also appears that some of the managing partner information on some of the connected companies has changed compared to earlier information.

You might also look into the state and federal penalties for illegalling pulling credit reports.

Sure you did...

If they were buying debt, they wouldn't have so many complaints of using threats to collect on already paid accounts, or evading validation requests with BS.

Shill.

I do see Begley's and Lundsford names but I also see Lowell H Meyer. How do you think he is connected to this scam?

He shows up on ripoffreport in connection with old complaints against some "talent agency".

A number of posts on various sites, including several from a PI looking into them, claim that Meyer is behind it all.  Most of the names I have found on corporationwiki, which is presumably derived from CA Secretary of State registration information, has shown either Begley or Lunsford, or both.  There is a cluster of companies attributed to a "Lowell H Meyer" in the same area.

You might contact two PIs who have looked into them, Cory at MIP, or Wayne Peterson, with Diversified Arbitration.

Connections with other earlier similar scams where they might have learned the ropes are unclear, although there are several debt collectors in the general area known for pulling the same scam, notably the "Shekinah" cluster (mentioned on Bud Hibb's site), including D.C. Brown (visible in older 800notes complaints and apparently also located in Corona), and apparently "Central Mitigation" (visible in recent 800notes complaints), both of the last two allegedly associated with a "David Brown" AKA "David Noble".

Their focus all along has been on access to and use of consumer credit reports. Other scam "debt collectors" (most notably CAMCO, and several in the Buffalo area) have shown the effectiveness of using consumer credit data to threaten consumers into paying unowed "debt".  Older complaints on ripoffreport connect a "Jason Begley" with a "debt settlement" company, which would have given him exposure to credit report usage.  A number of "debt settlement" scams (notably an operation operating out of South Florida) have used consumer credit information or credit threats to extort "fee" payments from consumers who thought they hadn't yet agreed to anything.  

Rising complaint rates on 800notes indicate the ability to scale this scheme up, so on top of efficient use of "con" calls, aided by the cheap fake "process server" calls, they must have efficient acquisition of new targets.

Anything on your credit reports?

In particular, in addition to the "collection agency" credit inquiries (ARM, HGG, etc) others are reporting, are there any suspicious other inquiries ("promotional, not seen by others"?), that might indicate a source for targetting information.

I am compiling a list of names for a class action lawsuit. If you want to be added send me your

name, email and what they did to you. Send it chaxsam@gmail.com.  Lets show 'em what we can do.


This company has called me 8 + times, looking for another person. They called me on my cell phone which is a TCPA violation. I have complained to the following, and I'm just getting started.

They need to look into all the companies that they have formed, check all their computers, person - business books, etc. You know if they are committing fraud in collecting, imagine what they are doing with the money they collect. Make sure you record all their calls, document it well.
