a girl name neice call me as a process server..lmao she is the worst collector  shaker ever...she called got straight to the point didnt vrfy no info...lol...i ask her to send me her email so i can give her a lil pointers......Im a top collector...i called the number back,and they talk so unprofessinal..i was transfer a thousands times,they must not have any closers.. OMG..i bet she only collect 600.00 for the month..

I will try my best to see who is her owner or mgrt...'
so i can let him/her know that they have the wrost collector...
lol

I got a call from this number and they transfered me a couple of times then they stated that I owed a loan from 2007, they asked if I wanted to settle, I said NO.  They hung up on me......stupid!!

These people called my moms house, asking if i would be home so they could serve me papers today. My mom said NO. Took info down, and I called them back from an unknown #, so they couldn't call me back...they said I had some outstanding bill from back in 2006, or something of $12,000, and that they were taking me to court. I laughed in their faces, saying my attorney is well aware of it - and that I talked to the state attorney general's office...they started getting angry at this point, saying they were sending the cops out to arrest me now...that was about an hour ago - - I still haven't seen any cops knocking on my door. Pfffst! I think theyre nothing but scammers....They said they were Legal Civil Division - - but wouldn't identify the company they were with..just a "group of lawyers".

cant touch me, only the feds can touch my money and they did, bout 3 yrs ago, [laughing] these people harrass my neighbor, told her to tell them nxt time, they call, that im dead.

These people called and asked if anyone would be home around 12 or 12:30 tomorrow because they need to serve a summons.  They asked if "anyone" would be home.  Don't they need to actually serve to the person listed on the summons?  Has anyone heard anything else about this company/number (they wouldn't leave a name)?  I'm thinking they are lying and no one is going to show tomorrow.  Keep this thread updated!

I had the same experience-they have harrased my daughter as well as my neighbor-I have no idea how they are getting these numbers-when you call they hang up on you when you confront them-I have reported them numberous times and they just won't quit

They are ILLEGAL SCAMMERS.  They will never show up, they just want to steal your money.

Debt collectors don't just threaten to serve some kind of legal documents.  They know that's illegal!  If you have a summons pending, a Constable or some officer of the law will show up at your door or your work!  The law doesn't need information from you before doing that.  these people can only be scammers that will rob you!

They are saying the same thing to me but they wont say where they are calling from what state, they have this guy call me that is a calif # to ask if Ill be home to surve me but the # is 213-260-9483 he said he was just the messanger look up that # he is a fake to. Telling me they are going to get me for Check Fraud on a default on a pay day loan I needed to pay now or else.

been getting calls for months now, also at work..... wanna come monday to serve papers, called them back and its reuben, weissman and assoc.

TOTAL SCAMMERs, pls dont be stupid and fall for this crap, i know ppl that have.

going to file a police report asap.

They call my neighbor phone and i don't even no my neighbor like that  and  ask  him did he no  me and told him i need to call before 11am i call and  the name is Associate  something i  hung  up on them

Called threatening lawsuit and papers to be served by sheriff.  First called family and had them give me their number to call.  First person was Jay Collins.  Second person was Michelle Turner. These folks need to be hung up by their toes and let us "honest" folks throw darts at them.  They are trying to cheat us hard-working people out of our hard-earned money!!!! What can we do?  Who will help stop these criminals?

Actually, Rubin and Weizmann, LLC HAD a collection agency license IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA from 12/12/12 - 8/8/13.  They are NOT attorneys, etc.  -- just your ordinary, everyday, amateur fraudsters.  Here's more info:

There are complaints about them all over the internet for harassing people that do not owe the debt, threatening to arrest people for a debt, telling people the only way they'll stop calling is to pay "court costs" on an alleged suit they filed, etc.  According to some of the MANY complaint pages and numbers they've called using, it seems they call about debts that are 5-10 years old, don't care if they were paid or not because they want money.  There are people who have fallen for this, and stated that they paid, and are STILL waiting on getting the documentation of the debt from them.  Of course, their story is that they sent it out ... yeah, right.
What's laughable is one page on their website that says they follow the law during collection attempts.  OBVIOUSLY, NOT!  THEY have an F rating with the FL BBB (see below).

By the way, it would seem to me that, IF you had a bad debt, it would show on your credit report (if still eligible to be reported).  IF you do have a bad debt on your credit report, you might want to consult an attorney and/or the original creditor, rather than these folks who obviously could care less about the law.  [I am NOT an attorney, nor do I profess to be one.  I am NOT dispensing “legal advice,” simply giving my opinion!]

IF they were calling about a legitimate debt, they would NOT be calling to see if you'll be home all day on certain day to "deliver legal documents" or "subpeona."  A legit collector CANNOT discuss your bill with anyone else OR threaten to arrest you and/or send you to debtor's prison, etc.

Make yourself aware of the rules in the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT.--http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.shtm  
Here is more info on it from the FTC Consumer information -- http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection
It's glaringly apparent that these folks enjoy breaking most of these rules.

Hope this helps someone!


As well as filing a complaint with your State Attorney General and the FTC, you can also file complaints in Florida.

Due to the high volume of information that we receive, we are unable to reply to every submission; however, we appreciate the information that you have provided.”  
[NOTE: As far as I’m personally concerned, the behavior of these companies IS a form of domestic terrorism, although the FBI may not.]

It also occurs to me that, particularly on the GreenDot/Prepaid card “payments,” since they are apparently difficult to trace, I seriously doubt they are reporting these funds on their income taxes === tax evasion.  (That’s the way they finally got Al Capone!)  The IRS has forms for reporting suspected evasion, and even a reward form you can complete for if you help them catch the folks!
http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/How-Do-You-Rep ... aud-Activity%3F   (I’m 99% sure it’s the Form 3949-A that you’ll want to complete if you’ve been swindled by these folks.)    It looks like Form 211 is to claim a reward!
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3949a.pdf   -- Form 3949-A
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f211.pdf  -- Reward form

   I personally don’t care WHICH branch of the government goes after these people, as long as THEY get REAL FEDERAL ARREST WARRANTS out on them!!  So, if you’ve been taken in by these folks, besides filing with the above, don’t forget the IRS!  (You KNOW they like going after money!!!)

It may not help, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to fill the mailboxes at the White House with letters about these folks.  If the President wants to get involved with courts and everyday peoples’ lives, then he needs to get involved in THIS!
http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact  -- to the right side of the page, there are links for leaving online comments, writing a letter, or calling the White House.



I'd suggest giving a list of time, date, phone number, and anyone's name you were given on these calls...EVEN if you didn't answer or it went to VM.

SUGGESTIONS (again, I am NOT an attorney and am NOT attempting to dispense legal advice.  These are my PERSONAL suggestions)
1-IF you decide to answer one of their MANY calls from about 50 different telephone numbers (no, I’m not exaggerating), give them NO INFORMATION.  In fact, YOU MAKE THEM ANSWER QUESTIONS, and if they don’t, hang up on them!   I don’t know anything about spoofing/masking numbers, but there have been comments that they are VOIP’ing the majority of the numbers they’re calling from.  I do not doubt this, as a person said the number showing on her phone was that of the local police department.
2-Keep a running log of the date, time, telephone number, person calling and note of conversation to file with your complaints.  (Or, try to record the call, BUT they usually hang up when they’re told they’re being recorded.  ROFLOL, now how many LEGITIMATE collection agencies would do that?  NONE that I’ve ever heard!
3-Look up your state’s Statute of Limitations on debts that can be pursued in court (that you can still be sued for).  It seems to vary from 3-15years.
4-DO NOT allow them to intimidate or frighten you.  These idiots have even called the numbers attorneys, police officers, etc. with this scam.  Intelligent, they are NOT.  

USUAL PLOYS:
1-call friends, neighbors, relatives, employers, and you trying to intimidate you into paying JUST to make the calls stop (but, from looking online, they don’t stop…they just demand more). – Ask these folks to also keep a log of the calls, give them this internet page to check.  Ask them to do a search for ANY of these company names.  They’ll soon realize it that these people are nothing but SCAMMERS.
2-“…have important legal documents (or summons) to deliver, will you be home ---(day) from 8:30 to 4:30 to accept it?”
3-“There’s a warrant out for your arrest UNLESS you send us $xxx TODAY”  -- they seem to prefer asking for the “Green Dot” prepaid card and want you to call back with the numbers on back … harder to trace where to $ goes, apparently.

COMPANY NAMES:
Goodman and Stern LLC, aka GSA Recovery, aka GSA Management Orlando, FL  … AND/OR … EIESNBURG, WHITMAN & ASSOCIATES LLC, Rubin and Weizman, LLC.


TYPE OF CALL:
SCAM AND/OR EXTORTION BY A DISREPUTABLE LICENSED COLLECTION AGENCY

Debt collection agency busted in Orlando
Federal investigation results in arrests, search warrants
Published On: Mar 11 2013 12:20:18 PM EDT   Updated On: Mar 01 2013 07:12:52 PM EST

Call from 888-980-8166. There was no one (dead air) on the line. It was phone scam.
Caller: unknown. Calling on behalf of: unknown.

Dead Air Hangup (888) 980-8166 is a robocaller DATE BLACKLISTED unknown

Did not answer. No voicemail. Scammer

Call gets intercepted by my blocker - which list it a a debt collector- so scam continues

These collector's can ONLY talk a lot of smack, because they really can't do anything to you.I received a call from a lawyer's office who claim that they are debt collector's. I bought a device from amazon that block the number so if they should call again, it will not even ring.
