Received 1st call asking for "name deleted". Sorry wrong number, this is the "Smiths". Received 2nd Call 26 minutes later. Fraud Division of Worthless Checks. Agent Diane Fowler. Asked for "name deleted". Calling because she is looking for "another name" unkown to me. Told me she was investigating "another name" for check fraud, and needed to get a hold of this person today or she would be prosecuted for Check Fraud. Opps, she just broke the law. Not allowed to theaten legal action. No allowed to tell a 3rd person about "another name" legal trouble or collection troubles. So, "another name" you have my permission to contact the law enforcement for San Antonio Texas to file a complaint.

This # called while I was out & left a message stating I was wanted for questioning in a fraud case an I need to call them back. I deleted the message. I think if I were really wanted for questioning the local police would come question me.

you are the crazy one I have been receiving calls for two years. it just so happened I got married and changed my name. and low and behold here comes another call. this time to my husbands family if I had a felony warrant then they know where to come and get me I have worked for the government for 13 years so they have my finger prints and also my address and phone number. you dummies called my husbands family looking for me. so You are the idiot paying and giving your money away. if you are real you would have gave me your company name>>>>

these people are calling my family members and scaring them . they called my 94 year old grandmother in-law  
and her family not mine and gave out my information. not only did they call her they called her family which has only know me since I have married her grandson ,so they no nothing about me but this garrald Michaels guy called him self aggent gerrald Michaels and scared her very bad. I want the calls to stop. I went to my local Police station and checked nation wide I have NO warrents out for my arrest nor are any states looking for me. I have a goverment job so if they was looking for me they know right where I am.

I received a call from Agent Garrald Michaels , he ALREADY had personal information . some was accurate and some was never heard of before by me. when I ask his info he did not give it. I called back and got his supervisor he also would not give me any info and also hung up on me. I am a US Citizen that has never been to jail nor has ever broke the law. but he said I was getting charge with a felony. this is a scam. and I will be doing something about it. and you guys re posting the good things after someone post their story. you are not as smart as you think. you say I have committed a felony ? BUT WHAT THE DUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING  CALLING PEOPLE AND TRYING TO GET PERSONAL INFO> THAT IS IDENTITY THEFT WHICH IS A FELONY STUPID.

Oh, another thing.....

The name Stacy Hatton is an Executive Assistant, Style Crest, Inc.

...if you "can't do anything" with someone's last four, why are they asked for? Oh, for verification?  So, like, you mean if I were a scammer, and had information, up to and including your last four, I could verify myself to your bank?

Yeah, you're SO correct; nothing bad could EVER come of giving -any- of your SS number to someone. Silly shill.

I just gave the run down excluding our two replys right now. LOL

Ok, I did some investigating.....

1. This B-Rad person may be a Bot, but eather way has a addiction to "Copy and Paste"
2. Part of one of it's many comments states: "90% above are idiots!! enjoy the fruits of your stupidity"
3. Consider how many times it's posted that in addition to the other comments prior to this reply (assuming no one else comments, and Elspeth's isn't above mine) here's the break down.

The Comment is: "this was about a bank account i had closed on a check.. not a debt.. AGAIN, if you were to actually LISTEN to what the man said, he was very helpful and infrormative.. i was trying to help out, but i can see the blind lead the blind in this forum.. good luck telling a judge a worthless check is covered under FDCPA.. 90% above are idiots!! enjoy the fruits of your stupidity."

First time it said it, it was 60% of the total comments,
Second Time 58%
Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth times 50%
Seventh time (It's first reply to me) 50%
Eight Time 52% of all the total comments (before Elspeth's comment).

It's been 50% - 60% of the "90% above are idiots!! enjoy the fruits of your stupidity"

We include all comments, it's again 50%. LOL

The shill thinks he's soooooo clever copying and pasting over and over.  He's proven he's capable of writing TWO different nonsense posts.  Goody for him.  Guess that makes his IQ 2 instead of 1.

no [removed:lang].. do you know how many people have the same last four as me or even you? tens of thousands.. do some research and/or read a book and stop talking out of your sphincter.. you sounded very smart, but you are not even remotely close to accurate

this was about a bank account i had closed on a check.. not a debt.. AGAIN, if you were to actually LISTEN to what the man said, he was very helpful and informative.. i was trying to help out, but i can see the blind lead the blind in this forum.. good luck telling a judge a worthless check is covered under FDCPA.. 90% above are idiots!! enjoy the fruits of your stupidity

You doth protest too much - because you're a company shill....

I'd say you're the stupid one.  No one should pay a debt they do not owe, simple as that.  Also, if you HAD written a check on a closed account, your financial institution would have mailed you several letters at that time.  And the man isn't "very helpful and informative" when he's calling people and attempting to get them to send money for something they do not owe!

lmao!!! Well I can understand strategy......"repeat the same thing/lie over and over again hoping that in time people will believe it."

Politicians are good at doing that.

Only thing is Adults won't fall for it, only children if you're lucky.

Posting this more than once does not make it any more believable.

[removed:lang].... the last four numbers identify the person. The 1st group denotes the State. The second group divides the State to make it easier to manage and last group identifies the individual.

You my friend are a shill and most likely working for this group.


People never give you SSN to anyone on the phone. Ask them what the last four numbers of the person they are looking for. If they do not match, tell them and ... most important hang up the phone.

If the numbers match, demand validation of the debt to be sent via the USPS (not email or verbal). This is your right on the law. Google the FDCPA and learn your rights ....

I'm sure that anyone reading your glowing testimonial will be glad to hear of this outfits legitimacy. And then they will be smart enough to DEMAND written proof of any of their claims be mailed to them. NOT e-mail or fax. And they will then contact their local law enforcement, or clerk of court, and determine if any processes against them have begun.
What do you think they'll find out? I think we all know what they'll discover!
This site really pisses you fraudsters off doesn't it? GOOD! That's what we're here for!

With all these repeat lying posts, you must be getting pretty desperate.  Less and less people falling for your scam, eh?  Good.

Whenever you extortions have bad days in your urine-soaked boiler room, you seem to wind up here, as if the truth your victims write about your filthy scam is somehow interfering with making your illicit profits.

We're glad to hear it. But your foolish attempt at trickery on here is a failure, much like the rest of your useless life must be. So it's back to the boiler room with you now, where you can keep dialing for dollars and hope the next sucker hasn't already read about your crimes on this site.

Sorry if we don't believe you.  I laughed pretty hard at your comment "i received a document VERIFYING my exoneration".  That would imply that you had been convicted of a crime and now have been proven innocent -- in a court of law.  Debt is a civil, not criminal matter, so the only crimes being committed are by the so-called debt collectors who violate the FDCPA right and left in attempts to collect debt that does not exist.  You've got all sorts of bogus details in your post but, of course, you mention nothing about this company mailing you the legally-required debt validation letter.  How about you "admit to your mistakes" and admit that you are a lying shill for this scumbag company?

it's called verification.. your last 4 mean nothing.. you can't do anything fraudulent with someone's last 4.. seriously

uhmm.. i was contacted by agent scott and he NEVER asked me for ANY information.. ALL of my information was ALREADY on file and i find it VERY hard to believe someone would call to give me a "heads up" they had stolen or were about to scam my info.. not only did he SAVE me over $3,000!! but i received a document VERIFYING my exoneration.. there was NOTHING fraudulant about it.. i would recommend at least HEARING what they have to say.. i think most of the people leaving these comments were just frightened because they WEREN'T listening.. he clearly told me he was neither a law enforcement officer nor a collections agent.. i knew i made these mistakes, he was not making up ANYTHING he was saying, the information was dead-on.. thankfully i took care of this matter and saved my record and score.. to all those "crying wolf", i think you should admit to your mistakes and take care of them like responsible adults and stop trying to blame OTHERS for our mistakes..

THis number contacted us about a Jerry Bruener had been passing bad checks - man calling said we were listed as "Family" and insisted we share SS# information over the phone.  We would not so he threatened us with an investigator that would VISIT our house.  We told him to bring it on...He said "good luck with that conversation".  We were not being helpful and that would not be good for us.  

I then googled the number and found this site!

DO NOT SHARE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION!

I got a call from a man name derrick scott from the same number claiming to be some fraud department it's all a scam it's a set up call the police quickly ...

I just recieved the same kind of call.  Did they continue to harass you? I called an attorney and they said it was a scam or fraud. I was told I could turn them in as well.

I received a voicemail from this # from agent Lynch stating she needed to know where to process service and if I didn't call by 2:00 PM it would be noted as a "refusal" at 3:10 I received a call with the caller ID of a police department in an area I previously lived. The caller said he was officer Wilkerson from this police department and papers had been faxed to them to arrest me. When I question why he told me I need to call Agent Lynch. When I asked for his contact information he hung up. Immediately received a call from agent lynch but was on the phone with the local department and they stated it was a scam. Printed out my cell phone record took it to them and called back on speaker phone. Agent Lynch denied any such call with a spoof caller ID and refused to give us the name of her company other than check fraud department and hung up. While still there filing my report. Received a call from James at the same # saying I called them and kept asking who he was speaking to again on speaker phone with the local police. He again refused to give us the name of the company and when I tried to tell him I was at the police department he accused me of saying I was a police officer and hung up. The officer asked me to call the number back and see if once again they could get a name or possible trace. Again Agent Lynch answered but still refused to give us a name but said my account had been marked as a refusal and legal action would be taken. Thankfully local police and state are now involved. This is a Scam and no information should be given.

Investigator Lynch from Worthless Check Division called and spoke to my mother and told her I had two felonies and was going to prosecuted if I didn't call and pay today. What a load of bull!
