Got a call and the person sd i had a debt from 2008 and they was going to charge me with fraud charges and started screaming at me and told me no wonder why i was a financial mess and told me he was taking me to jail.
DON'T BELIEVE THEM!! I got a call on the 23rd, from the same number. The guy said his name was Something Sims. He stated he was with united check processing services and that I had some debt from some online payday loan deal back in 2007. He had an old account number and everytthing. I was scared, but I told him to let me do some checking. I checked with my bank and the informed me that they would NEVER give anyone my personal information (which this guy claimed my bank gave him all my information) My bank put me on hold and came back and said that it was a fraud and told me to call the guy back and call his bluff. So, I called back and asked him to mail me a copy of whatever I owe to make sure it was ligit, he refused. I asked for the address to their company, so I could run them through the BBB and my local Attorney Generals office, and he refused. He said don't worry about it, I have your address on file and I will be sending the police to your door to arrest you for fraud. I said what's my address, and he replied, Im not giving it to you. I said that's because you don't have that information. I started laughing in his face, and he then hung up!! I haven't heard from them since. He all most got me, but I had to have a calm head and do some investigating of my own. DON'T BELIEVE IT!!
Hey all , this just happened to me today. These people called me today I answered the phone they asked for me by my maiden name. They started off by stating they had a fraudulent check in their office then tells me to hold, The lady was absolutely rude. She refused to tell me where she was from for about 5 minutes I went round and round with her. I asked several times for a supervisor because I didn't like the way the lady was talking to me to begin with.She kept telling me they don't have any supervisors.
After they hung up on me a few times and I called back she told me she was going to get me for harassment lol. I finally got to talk with another woman who explained to me what was going on then I asked to speak with the attorney that was handling the case who they transferred me to MR HAMILTON. He was just as rude as the first lady he told me that they were going to charge me with check fraud and that I had to pay them today or they were going to send it to the courts and then they would get me for about 4 grand after court fees.
I explained to them that I could make a payment to them in the full balance of 400 or whatever they had said to pay the debt in full in July when my school check came in, that this is my only income and that I had to wait for my school refund check to pay the balance in full. They told me I had to make a good faith payment of 225 by the today. They wanted me to find anyone to make this payment by credit card TODAY. Of course I am freaking out.Mr Hamilton then proceeds to ask me who I have been sponging off of until July.
I called the original loan company that I received my loan from and they bounced me to the debt collector they sent the debt to. I called that debt collector and they referred me to Tag. I do not dispute the debt to the loan company but it was a very small amount. I talked to Bob Kingsberry Who was much nicer and I thought was with a different company however he basically told me what the Mr Hamilton was going to do if I didn't pay up.
I then found this site trying to do my research. My husband then proceeded to call the company back telling them that we got someone to pay the 225 by check and that we needed an address to send it to, it took him 15 min and being switched to several different people to get an address. One of those people was Mr Bob Kingsberry that didn't work at this company He works for a company named TAG. The company that my husband called was the United Check Processing who had originally called me.
They also told my husband that if I paid the 225 today that my next payment towards the 4 grand would be 30 days from now. The 4 grand amount was supposed to be after they had taken me to court and charged me with all the attorney fees and court costs.
I dont know what the deal is with these people but they had all of my information even a background check on me. Because when I told Mr Kingsberry that I have never been in trouble for anything and I cant afford to get charged with check fraud he told me that he could see that on my criminal background that I had never been in trouble. However the attorney Mr Hamilton had found a loophole in the system to charge me with check fraud. I dont know what is going to happen with this ,but from what I am reading here and my own personal dealings with these people I would say they are scam artists.
YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR PROOF IN WRITING, IF THEY REFUSE THEN SCREW THEM ! They too have to abide by the law (if they're legit) And threatening you isn't part of the law.
