914-339-5626

PEOPLE. PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE POSTING!!!

YOU MAY THINK THAT SOMEONE FROM NEW YORK IS CALLING YOU.

THEY DID NOT.

SOME VICTIM'S PHONE NUMBER WAS SPOOFED ON A CALLER ID FOR A SCAM COMPANY.

Important message to all those that have received a call from this number:

The company making this call with an auto dialer is a known scam outfit. They spoof phone numbers of victims all the time. Sometimes, they spoof non-working phone numbers. The phone number 914-339-5626 is just another victim of these scumbags. I've done a lot of research of this company. Actually, there are several affiliated companies, owned by the same people that try to scam innocent victims. One scam is about auto warranties. The other is about credit card debt relief. They even have scams about dish television, home alarms, and more. Their MO is the same. The use an auto dialer, and call thousands of random numbers. They have no regard to the do not call lists. Your demands or complaints to them are worthless. They will continue to call you.

They will not remove you from their call lists. Why? BECAUSE THEY DO NOT MAINTAIN ANY. THEY ARE CROOKS. THEY HAVE NO REGARD TO THE MANY LAWS THEY BREAK.

If they call about a car warranty, the message says something as "This is the second notice on your extended vehicle warranty. Press one now to speak to a representative..." The message about credit debt mentions "This is Account Services. We are calling to lower your credit card debt. Press one now to speak to a representative..."

Here are the details of these [***]:

VP Marketing
1820 Water Place Pkwy
Ste 255
Atlanta GA 30339
678-741-3188
678-741-3189

They also were previously known under a different corporate name, with a different address:
Versadebt Corp.
4501 Circle 75 Parkway
Suite #A-1225
Atlanta GA 30339
678-238-1300
678-238-1349
678-238-1351

Versadebt was voluntarily dissolved in August, 2008.

Here is the first ever media report exposing these crooks! From Fox 5 Atlanta - WAGA, a 6 minute new video that confirms everything:
http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/ITeam_Auto_Warranties_032409

According to the report, VP Marketing is owned by Jason Eyer. Here is how you can contact this person, courtesy of public records filed with the Georgia Department of State:
Jason Eyer
1603 Mosaic Way
Smyrna, GA  30080
407-902-1950
407-902-9377

These companies are listed with the Georgia Department of State. Here is how you can lookup their information:
http://corp.sos.state.ga.us/corp/soskb/CSearch.asp

You will find that the "Registered Agent" for VP Marketing is Kelly Lonas, 224 Ripple Creek Drive, Marietta GA 30060. The listed "Member/Manager" is James A. Schoenholz at the 4501 Circle 75 Parkway address.

Versadebt's Registered Agent is the same James A. Schoenholz at the 4501 Circle 75 Parkway address. There is one additional name listed for Versadebt. The listed CEO, CFO, and Secretary is named Marvin Cox, Jr. at the same address.

In fact, Jason Eyer may be an owner of all of these related companies.

Here are some links to prove my research:
Job listings for VP Marketing:
http://www.careerbuilder.com/JobSeeker/Jobs/JobResults.aspx?ncc=^"VP+Marketing"$&cbRecursionCnt=1&cbsid=65cc3191c8ec4200beb8f180570269d1-267407999-RF-4&ns_siteid=ns_us_g_"vp_marketing"_at

Notice the job listings for "Appointment Setter," "Qualification Representative," "Auto Warranty Specialist," and "Financial Representatives." Those are the idiots you get on the phone when you press "1" to speak to a representative after receiving their ILLEGAL recorded phone calls. Also, you can see many other job listings with similar titles.

Interestingly, if you view these help wanted ads, you will notice that their address and phone number are different from what is listed with the Georgia Department of State. They now list 678-741-3188  and 678-741-3189 as the phone number of Human Resources. IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL TO CALL THEM AS THEY LISTED THEIR NUMBER IN A PUBLIC FORUM. Call them to find out more information about this company. You will need this in your complaints to the FCC, FTC, and your state Attorney General.

You can call them to see if they offer Car Warranties or tell them you are interested in a lower interest rate. It is quite humorous to listen to their answers!

Here are some details from RipOff Report. Pay particular attention to these (especially the first link) as ex employees detail how they operate and how their scam works:

You can learn much more about these [***] by performing a web search for "versadebt," and "vp marketing," or "heather from account services."

NOW, WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS? You have two solutions:
1) Speak to one of their customer service representatives. Pretend to be interested in either lowering your credit card interest rate or a car warranty. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY REAL INFORMATION. Give them a fake credit card number, a fake name, and a fake SS#. Tell them you own a Ferrari, or a 1937 Dodge (however, if you really own one of those two, tell them you own a Buick). Give a made up VIN number. If they ask for your name and phone number, give them the info for the person you hate the most.

Your goal is simple. Keep them on the phone for as long as possible. Be friendly. Your goal is twofold. You want to learn as much as possible about them. They will refuse to give you a website, phone number, or maybe even a real company name. They will attempt to give you a generic name such as "Account Services," "Financial Services," or "Dealer Services." This is done for a reason, to throw you and the government off their tracks. Do not accept this. Keep pressing for info. You will need this (see below).

EVEN BETTER IS IF YOU CAN RECORD THE CALL.

Also, the time you take from them means them have less time to steal from someone who is unknowledgeable about their scams. They get paid to rip people off. Take away their time, and they make no money! I have kept them on the phone for up to 20 minutes! I realize that many of you do not have the time. But do you appreciate being taken advantage of?

Ever hear of Scambaiting? That is what you are doing!!! There are many entertaining web sites on this topic. For example, see:

2) YOU MUST REPORT THEM TO THE AUTHORITIES:

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION!
Here is the link to file a complaint: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION:
https://donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

You must also file a report with the Attorney General of your state. See the last link below to see how effective this can be.

I file complaints against Versadebt and VP Marketing every time I receive a call. If everyone that received a call from these low-life scumbags does the same, then the combined action of thousands of us can stop these crooks from scamming innocent people out of money. You may also try to write your congress person.

I do not answer the calls but they call my cell phone sometime 3 times a day

They called, I didn't recognize the number so I didn't answer. I then "googled" the area code and came upon this information on the number.

I got a call from this number, I didn't answer at first but later I called back thinking it was a family member. What should I do now?

That number called me today at 4:08pm today and I didn't answer. I don't have any family in New York so it has to be a scam or telemarketer.

I received a call from this number on my cell Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2009 at 10:27 AM.  Did not recognize the number so I didn't bother to answer.  Figured if it were important, they would leave a message.  No other calls since.

Called at 11:08 am CST  - didn't answer 'cause I didn't recognize it. Just googled the number.

I recieved 3 Calls from this number within a week, didnt answer any of them, however i tried to call back as restricted and it simply beeped 3 times then hung up.

I have received 2 calls from this number, I couldn't answer either time.  I called it back and it says busy.  What a scam. I hope they call again, I'm going to have some fun!

I have received several calls from this company about lowering a credit card debt, when asked to press 1 the representative asked but when I ask her about what credit card she hangs up, I would appreciate very much if they would stop calling me.

I have received several calls from this company about lowering a credit card debt, when asked to press 1, the representative answered, but when I ask her about what credit card she hangs up, I would appreciate very much if they would stop calling me.

Received this voicemail (I have Google Voice so this is a transcription of the exact message):

Cardholder Services calling in reference to your current credit card account. There are no problems currently with your account. It is urgent that you contact us concerning your eligibility for lowering your interest rate to as little as 6.9% your eligibility expires shortly, so please consider this your final notice press the number one on your telephone now to speak with a live operator and lower your interest rates, or if you'd like to be removed from our call list, press 2. Thank you and have a great day.

I just got the exact same message as Anna about 2 minutes ago.

I just got the same exact message as Anna at 5:40pm EST.

I just got the same message at 5:36 pm

I got this call on my Verzon prepaid phone so that cost me 99 cents, some refinancing scam call recording

I got the same phone call 4 minutes ago.. Thanks for the info.

Had a missed call from this phone since I do not know anyone at the # did a search on google and found this.

Called today. Tried returning the call but the line kept saying all circuits were busy. Googled the number and ended up here.

Just got a call on my verizon cell. I answered and a recorded message said something about lowering by interest rate, press 1 to continue. At this point I immediately assumed it was a scam. I pressed 1 anyway, just to see where this was leading.

An American man sounding to be in his early 20's came on the line and said "So I hear you are interested in lowering your interest rate?"

I replied "My interest rate on what?"

He then immediately hung up on me. I plan on following through with this, doing research on the company, harassing them as much as possible and eventually reporting them.
