Who called from 3342095647

Message left stated I had a complaint filed against me in her office and I needed to contact her at 855-206-8347 which is not the number called from.  Didn't state who she was or who she worked for.

ID themselves as Yates and Rubin.  Say they are an arbitration company but that's just scam double-talk  for debt collector.    Do  not give them any information.  Ignore them and block their calls.

They are a registered LLC in the State of New York, but they appear to be engaged in unlawful acts in the process of debt collecting.

! THERE IS AN ALERT ON RUBIN AND YATES, LLC !

BBB has seen a major increase in collection agencies
setting up businesses in the Upstate New York area over the past several
years.  In an effort to keep consumers informed about which collection
agencies are operating in accordance with Federal Law,
we are asking for specific information from all
collection agencies operating in our service area.  The requests includes
the following:

:Federal Employee Identification Number-EIN
:Proof Of Licensing, bonding and or registration by the
city, town in which your business is located.
:Proof of licensing required by any state in which you
operate by mail or telephone or email.

This collection agency has not responded to our
requests.

BBB advises consumers to be aware of their legal rights in regard to collections.  The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a statue enacted in 1978 which seeks to eliminate abusive and harassing behavior by any debt or collection agency.  The act states specific practices and rules under which debt collectors must abide by.  There are penalties for agencies found breaking these laws.  Some of these laws state that a collection agency is forbidden to harass a debtor, which includes threatening violence or legal action.  They may not use crude or offensive language or identify themselves as anyone other than by their business name.  If a consumer believes a debt or collection agency has violated any of the FDCPA laws the BBB encourages them to file complaints with the BBB at bbb.org and Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov.

BBB® F Rating
On a scale of A+ to F

There are no complaints.  This is a debt collection company.   They always use that "word" comoplaints as if they were some sort of public agency.  They're not.  They are a New York debt collection company using very questionable methods.
Do not return the call.  Do not give them any information.

Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:

1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  DIME  until the debt is validated.

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply block their calls and ignore them.

If they are bothering you,

Report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money,  tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them.

Again called with same voicemail. Did not state who they were....digitally recorded insert of my name in the message. Oh well...not calling back this time either.
