It also occurs to me that, particularly on the GreenDot/Prepaid card ?payments,? since they are apparently difficult to trace, I seriously doubt they are reporting these funds on their income taxes === tax evasion.  (That?s the way they finally got Al Capone!)  The IRS has forms for reporting suspected evasion, and even a reward form you can complete for if you help them catch the folks!
http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/How-Do-You-Rep ... aud-Activity%3F   (I?m 99% sure it?s the Form 3949-A that you?ll want to complete if you?ve been swindled by these folks.)    It looks like Form 211 is to claim a reward!
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3949a.pdf   -- Form 3949-A
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f211.pdf  -- Reward form

   I personally don?t care WHICH branch of the government goes after these people, as long as THEY get REAL FEDERAL ARREST WARRANTS out on them!!  So, if you?ve been taken in by these folks, besides filing with the above, don?t forget the IRS!  (You KNOW they like going after money!!!)

It may not help, but it certainly wouldn?t hurt to fill the mailboxes at the White House with letters about these folks.  If the President wants to get involved with courts and everyday peoples? lives, then he needs to get involved in THIS!

TYPE OF CALL:
SCAM AND/OR EXTORTION BY A DISREPUTABLE LICENSED COLLECTION AGENCY

There are complaints about them all over the internet for harassing people that do not owe the debt, threatening to arrest people for a debt, telling people the only way they'll stop calling is to pay "court costs" on an alleged suit they filed, etc.  According to some of the MANY complaint pages and numbers they've called using, it seems they call about debts that are 5-10 years old, don't care if they were paid or not because they want money.  There are people who have fallen for this, and stated that they paid, and are STILL waiting on getting the documentation of the debt from them.  Of course, their story is that they sent it out ... yeah, right.
What's laughable is one page on their website that says they follow the law during collection attempts.  OBVIOUSLY, NOT!  THEY have an F rating with the FL BBB (see below).

By the way, it would seem to me that, IF you had a bad debt, it would show on your credit report (if still eligible to be reported).  IF you do have a bad debt on your credit report, you might want to consult an attorney and/or the original creditor, rather than these folks who obviously could care less about the law.  [I am NOT an attorney, nor do I profess to be one.  I am NOT dispensing ?legal advice,? simply giving my opinion!]

IF they were calling about a legitimate debt, they would NOT be calling to see if you'll be home all day on certain day to "deliver legal documents" or "subpeona."  A legit collector CANNOT discuss your bill with anyone else OR threaten to arrest you and/or send you to debtor's prison, etc.

Make yourself aware of the rules in the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT.--http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.shtm  
Here is more info on it from the FTC Consumer information -- http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection
It's glaringly apparent that these folks enjoy breaking most of these rules.

Hope this helps someone!

SUGGESTIONS (again, I am NOT an attorney and am NOT attempting to dispense legal advice.  These are my PERSONAL suggestions)
1-IF you decide to answer one of their MANY calls from about 50 different telephone numbers (no, I?m not exaggerating), give them NO INFORMATION.  In fact, YOU MAKE THEM ANSWER QUESTIONS, and if they don?t, hang up on them!   I don?t know anything about spoofing/masking numbers, but there have been comments that they are VOIP?ing the majority of the numbers they?re calling from.  I do not doubt this, as a person said the number showing on her phone was that of the local police department.
2-Keep a running log of the date, time, telephone number, person calling and note of conversation to file with your complaints.  (Or, try to record the call, BUT they usually hang up when they?re told they?re being recorded.  ROFLOL, now how many LEGITIMATE collection agencies would do that?  NONE that I?ve ever heard!
3-Look up your state?s Statute of Limitations on debts that can be pursued in court (that you can still be sued for).  It seems to vary from 3-15years.
4-DO NOT allow them to intimidate or frighten you.  These idiots have even called the numbers attorneys, police officers, etc. with this scam.  Intelligent, they are NOT.  

USUAL PLOYS:
1-call friends, neighbors, relatives, employers, and you trying to intimidate you into paying JUST to make the calls stop (but, from looking online, they don?t stop?they just demand more). ? Ask these folks to also keep a log of the calls, give them this internet page to check.  Ask them to do a search for ANY of these company names.  They?ll soon realize it that these people are nothing but SCAMMERS.
2-??have important legal documents (or summons) to deliver, will you be home ---(day) from 8:30 to 4:30 to accept it??
3-?There?s a warrant out for your arrest UNLESS you send us $xxx TODAY?  -- they seem to prefer asking for the ?Green Dot? prepaid card and want you to call back with the numbers on back ? harder to trace where to $ goes, apparently.

TYPE OF CALL:
SCAM AND OR EXTORTION BY A DISREPUTABLE LICENSED COLLECTION AGENCY

Thank you so much....I actually did speak to someone and called her a stupid bi*** and hung up....I knew it was a scam...she called right back and my phone never rang the call went right to voice mail and I could tell from her message it was a scam....Thanks for researching this though

thank you, just really getting tired of this crap as I'm sure everyone else is.   Every day my phone gets hit by someone trying to scam money out of me.

Nice work!!! Thank you

it appears this number is associated with Eisenberg, Whitman and associates, they have called me multiple times from numerous numbers, 347-394-1633, 919-741-6283, and this number.  They are scammers, I have already contacted the FTC about these individuals.  I googled this number and in my search I found a website called www.boiler-rooms.org/dt-processing-llc/.  According to this website the number, which is 302-261-3351 is an advance fee scam.  Another interesting thing I found while searching is the name DT-Processing comes up and the website address is www.economicfrauds.com which is hosted by www.singaporewebhosting.com.  Here's a shocker, when you click on the webpage it doesn't exist.

Shady collection company...don't answer. They threaten to sue when they can't. The people on the will use illegal threats to try and collect money.

Call is from a call center.  I did not authorize this caller to call.

So far today, I have over 10 calls by them just today....when I hung up without answering on my cell, it immediately called back.....let the call go through & end without answering & called back in about 5 minutes.....really getting annoying....between a number from NY, one from Florida, one from Atlanta, one from California......I'm on the no call list, so these numbers are from something else that are totally annoying.  I will be getting a new number soon anyway.....but when I'm ready.....which isn't now....but this may push that issue.  I am getting really irritated by this

They call every 5 minutes for an hour starting at 8am. No one talks and they don't leave a message. I'm tried of waking every other morning to this. I've decided to unplug my phone every night before I go to bed.

Don't know who it is but they call 5 times a day. How can we get them to stop?

They hang/up when I answer, will leave a message, will call several times a day. I have reporte this number to the do-not-call List.

Yesm they keep trying. Maddening.
