I just received a call today from them they had me speak with their "litigator" Cindy Moore she claims to be investigating a check fraud for a cash advance from 2007. They don't even have an amount for the initial cash advance. I asked for the attorneys name that was handling the case the name she gave was "error Erwin and assoc" .  She claims that if I don't pay this money back today (over 4000.00) then I will be prosecuted and placed in jail.  I sure am glad I came across this site. Thank you.

ya i got a call from this loser too. he had the audasity to call my parents house, and leaving a message for my brother, the so called "affiliate" of my husband in regards to a supposed bad check written by my husband. said in the voice message that my husband got himself in "a real mess and its urgent he be told to call travis (dickstick)sullivan. when my brother told me about the message i was irrate. even if this could possibly be legite, he had no right to hunt my husband down at my parents house and drag them in personal business. The audasity! i called back the number and ripped the guy a new a***ole. He tried sounding hardon the phone with me, and i cut him off, and basically told him to he had no write calling the number and trying not only to fraud money from us, but tarnish my husbands name to other people who arent involved, that if it was a legite debt he owes, its illegal to call debtors family members and air there dirty laundry, and i have the recording and will sue if he calls back. in the background the pussey was tryin to argue and say what he was doing wasnt illegal, and blah blah, blah. i just talked over him, persisted to tell him off and to not call back, and hung up. i hope i made him s*** his probably already dirty underwears. seriously, get a life. dudes probably somelonely 40yr old virgin that gets his rocks off on harassing others. his mothers proud jewel, im so sure.

I was told that I was going to go to if I didnt pay 400 dollars by 4 pm and that I would lose my kids.

This is a scam company called Preliminary Prosecutions. They say they are part of the Check Fraud Department of the State of Texas. Per the Texas Attorney General's Office, no such thing exists. This "company" uses scare tactices to urge call recipients to give up their banking or credit card information. They will tell you that you bounced a check with a payday loan company and if you don't pay you will be arrested or taken to court. In most states, the county sherriff's office will deal with bounced checks, not a collection company. DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION. If you have taken out a payday loan, contact THAT company if you're worried about your check bouncing. I was told by the Attorney General's Office that some customer lists from national payday loan companies have been compromised and this scam is running rampant. If they call you, just hang up!

Got a call from Travis Sullivan @ this number stating he is with the Fraud & Workmen's Check Division. The name sounds suspiciously close to Workmen's Compensation I think to make it seem legitimate. He went on to say that he's conducting an investigation of an individual & that my 80 year old mother is a known affiliate of this person so in a demanding tone he says she needs to contact him immediately. The person died over a year ago but my mother had no knowledge of any of their personal affairs so it makes no sense that she was contacted. My mother doesn't even handle her own business due to her age & my sister & I manage all of her affairs as POA. I called the number to tell them to cease calling but no one answered so I could only leave a message. I agree with the comments left by others that this most likely a SCAM.

Travis Sullivan called my job threatening to arrest me regarding a payday loan from JHS. Refuses to send any written documentation and wants me to send payment via Moneygram to WCCI.

these peopple called me saying that i need it to pay them 322.57 with in a hr or i was going to get arrested that i owed that to ace cash express ive never ever gottrn a loan with these people watch out its a scam they try to care uuu!!!

Male calling himself Travis Sullivan with the "check fraud investigation unit" left message stating I was a "known affiliate" af a female name I recognized but haven't spoke to in nearly 3 yrs. I called back and was hung up on numerous times when I demanded to know who they represented. Ultimately they identified themselves as, Weinberg & Associates. I told them to remove my name from their list for reasons stated above & they said they would. Keep in mind, this collection agency has been calling for a year and stating they'd remove my name & they haven't yet, but that's the company that's calling you folks.

Stated his name was Travis Sullivant and looking for Edward, would like this calling to stop.  
Thank you.

Have they contacted you again because they keep wanting me to pay

they have called several of my family members now is there a way to press charges. They keep calling saying that i have a fraudulent check but have no check out what so ever is becomeing to be a pain                            scam scamscam scam scam scam SCAM SCAM SCAM

Out of the blue these people started calling me saying they were sending a policer officer over to arrest me for check fraud with a payday loan.  Then called back and said I needed to wire them $559 to cover the fraudulent check.  They also said they have been tryingn to get in touch with me for months, sending certified letters and phone calls (supposedly).

What the heck is going on.  They said they did back round check and have my social security#.  Now what do I do, go and change my social

They have been report to the FBI for impersonating law enforcement

this is a bs scam. they calim to be a check investigation firm and say you have a bad check out and your going to go to jail for it if you dont send them (by wire transfer) money TODAY. I reported them to my state attorney generals office and they were already in their database
