I received a recorded message from this number about a returned check and to call or have my legal council call. The recording said they were "Checks Media". I searched to find out what this number is and found a person's name of Jose Esparza. I don't know if the name is accurate but I can assure you this is a scam. I have never had a returned check. After attempting to call them back several times, a recording said the mail box is full. Don't fall for this scam. I am listing the call as unknown because this site does not give me the option of calling it what is is-SCAM.
Claiming they were collecting on an insufficient funds check from 2009, but not the check amount...just the fees. And refused to send me something in writing. Very shady...I also got a similar call from an out of state number from a company called Devereaux Huffman & Associates, completely shady too. You can't ever reach them. They called for same reason but each caller used two different check system business names, neither legit. The scary part is they referenced a name for a check I would've written, and it was the right check number. This is a very scary scam with inside info to banking info.
I received a call from huffman and associates a few weeks ago and the phone number is from state of Georgia. I called a Verónica Web as she left a message that if i didnt call back they would be talking to my financial institution, but didnt say why. When i called back i couldnt get through and when i did i had to leave a message. After much thinking, i thought if they have my info Regarding my financial institution they should have my address and send something in writing. So i blocked that number. A few months back i got a call From a collection agency where they were calling to collection money on a check i wrote supposedly in 2009 and when asked what bank i wrote it From and to who. The man on the Line said it was to MeN Eds, but when asked to what pizza parlor he didnt know what i was talking about.i told him to send copy of check and he didnt have my correct address. He got upset when i told him i would clear it if i did write it in 2009 after i got it in writing and he kept getting upset when i said i would not Pay over the phone so i Hung up. Now today a 5594756663 called and left a message about needing to call back as they aré a collection agency. I tríed calling and there is no answer....i blocked the number, toooooo weird and Seems like fraud....
A little inoculation before the shills get here .... The FTC and a vast majority of courts have held that dishonored checks for plain old consumer, household, and personal purchases are covered by the FDCPA. Any whining or insinuation of criminal offense from NSF check debt collectors is therefore illegal.
This Devereaux outfit needs to send required disclosure letters and offer straight answers to your questions just like its peers chasing other forms of consumer debt. It may also be sued by you at low or no cost if you find your rights have been denied.

Got a call from this number , called back asked who this was they said,very rudely, "Checks Media", I ask what they wanted, they kept asking me what number I was calling from and they got frustrated and hung up, they called and left a broken up message saying they were Checks media and if I wanted to resolve this matter , did a Google on the number and sounds like Scam.
