Yawn. This is getting boring. All you people who are getting calls from so called agents or lawyers threatening to put you in jail or serve you papers or send the cops to your home or work... IT AIN'T HAPPENING. These people, to use the term loosely are trying to scare you into paying a debt that either isn't yours or is so old that it is beyond the SoL. Ask them for proof of debt. If they can't prove that you owe the debt and that they have the right to collect it, send them a Cease and Desist letter put it in writing. Learn what the FDCPA says about your legal rights and use it.
A Gentlemen called me from 716-242-3490 stating he was from Fresno City Arbiter office. He told me a payday loan company wanted to file charges against me. When I told him that I was in process of taking care of that bill they gave me this other phone number 877-658-2450 ext 118 to call and they would work with me to avoid going to court. I searched the web for scams going on with the phone numbers I was given and that is how I ended up here.
I rec'd a call from 716-242-3490 on my cell, I did not answer the call b/c we are not allowed on our cell at work except breaks & lunch time. Anyway, the caller left a message. The caller spoke very fast,I don't remember hearing a name for the caller or the name of the company. She said the usual, charges were filed against me and my ss# and so forth. She left the number and a file number for me to contact her ASAP. I pulled up the number first and got the scam reports. Next, I called the number. The lady answered said her name was Miss Jones and this was her direct #. I told her I was returning a call, gave her the file number and she appeared to be typing. Miss Jones said she could not find the file # in her system, she asked for my phone number, again, she said she could not find my number in her system. She said something about them receiving complaining calls from Wal-Mart about calls coming from this number to people saying they owe debts. She told me she do not know who called me or why, but, if I rec'd another from this number, call her back. I wonder if she had my information in front of her and suddenly read down far enough to see I work for the government and realized they may not get any money out of me at this time.
Received a call from Allen Cross stating that someone had filed charges against me in Lorain County and that I or my legal representation would need to contact him immediately before the charges went to court. Charges were filed against me in November of 2013 for a civil case. He was very vague only stating it was extremely important for me to contact him back bore arbitration was started & before legal charges were made against me and I would have to pay a large sum of money due to attorney/court costs. He asked for someone by a first name that was not mine but the last name was correct. When calling the number 716-242-3490 it goes directly to his voicemail with his name/recording to leave a message. It does not give a company name nor does it state that he is attorney at law. He did not leave any kind of file number when leaving the message.
Got a call on the same day from the same guy. Kind of funny how he says his Extension number is 120 but when you call the main number it goes right to his voicemail. Typical scumbag scammer!
I received a call from a man name Allen at 716-242-3490 talking about a debt that I supposedly owe to Carter Group LLC (never heard of). They said if I don't pay $890.00 they are going to take me to court and then they will send a warrant out for my arrest for something in 2011. It's crazy how so many people have received a call from this same phone number and it's different people calling about different companies, this is clearly a spam.
