I received a call today from a Rebecca Morris from phone number 404-647-2199 ext 211 stating I owed a debt from Ace dated back 3 years ago and if I did not pay by MoneyGram in 2 hours she would file felony check fraud charges and my bond would be $3500. If I did pay within the two hours then the charges would be dropped....Funny thing to me is the name of the compay on the voicemail (Nationwaide Investigation) does not match the name of the company she wanted me to send the money to (NSS/ NATIONWIDE SALES AND SERVICES). This is crazy and needs to be checked out because even if I did owe this is a civil matter I believe and her threatening me to send the police to my job.....where she got a hold of me does not sound right.

I got a similar call today, but the lady stated her name was Rebecca Morris, but instead of me doing fraud, i was listed on the back of a check as a reference for Ambria Romero writing bad checks, got the call at work but the exact same phone number was given to me to call back. This was so strange, what really told me it was fraud was the fact that my name and number would be on the back of a check as a reference, I work in a financial instuation, and have never heard of such a thing.

Folks do your homework online.  Plenty of documentation of illegal this company is and how the still operated a pay a day loan when the had court orders against the,.  Look up your paper work and see the dates. Copy and file with attorney general.   If anyone is illegal and could be arrest it is both the original company and collection co.

This folks are not legal.  Call your state attorney.  Save the phone number and record or document all conversations.  My sister went through this in march while she lived out of state.  Most of these co were such down legally and there are documents of court documents that date back to when these debts were obtained while this company did not have lisence but instead had it revoked in several states.  Print court orders along with your documents and the problem is solved.  It is their job to collect and intimidate people to get a pay check but consumers have rights. Nationwide Investgations is not listed anywhere on Internet .

A woman called my co-worker from this number claiming that they were filling felony charges against her for a check she had written in California,  my co-worker has never had a checking account in California.  She then told her she had until noon to go to Walmart and send a moneygram for $475.00 or she could sit tight "and someone would come pick her up".  They then sent an email addressed to my co-worker but to our HR Rep stating outright that she owes them money and they we're going to have her arrested if she didn't pay.  We work for a newspaper and I called them wanting to know where they we're located and said we are interested in doing a story on them.  The woman that answered was very abusive and hung up on me.  We reported them to our State Attorneys office, they said they had received a very similar complaint yesterday.  They also have called from 904-683-6271

KATIE  SCOTT OF TCF BANK CALLED MY NEIGHBOUR TO HAVE THEM TELL ME THAT MY CHECKBOOK WAS STOLEN AND I NEEDED TO CALL HER BACK,IS SHE WAS FROM TCF SHE WOULD HAD KNOWN MY PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS

Yesterday recieved the same call about putting a warrant out for my arrest and If I dont pay $689.00 will have them send someone...they called my job an human resources office. Told them I didnt have it when they called yesterday...told them to send the police...today they called and said if I make an arrangement...they will drop the charges

I also filed a consumer complaint for misrepresentation with my state consumer protection agency.

Katie Scott called claiming I would have to appear in court in New York because my name and number were on the back of a bad check written there. She said the charges were being filed in New York and the company that received the check was based out of Atlanta. She gave me a case number and everything. She told me it may be linked to social networking and if I could figure out if I knew the woman to call her back. I called her back and told her I did not know the lady and asked who she worked for. She said Nationwide Investigation. She also said my number would be removed from the "system" since I didn't know the bad check writer. It was all a little fishy and after some research I found out she's a scammer. Take your mobile numbers off of your Facebook or other social networking accounts so that she can't use your number or your friends' info to run the more serious scam of saying you owe money!

they get our information on the internet. facebook n sites like that. its obnoxious and annoying they've called 3 times in the past hour and threatening me to go to jail and have a warrant out for me. dont fall for it

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.>

Katie Scott called my entire family leaving messages that I was under investigation for check fraud. I called her back and she demanded I send $386.47 by today or else I would be arrested. I asked for proof of this so called debt and her information but she would not answer me. She said I wasn't going to get  it so I said I wasn't going to pay and that I would just go to jail then. She got really mad and after a long shouting match I hung up. Its a scam but nevertheless extremely distressing because of how she left these messages on my family's phones and even threatened some elderly people I know.

Someone put my name and phone number on the back of a check.  The check was no good. The call was from 404-647-2199, basically accusing a friend of writing a bogus check. Please advise as to what to do.

Received a call asking for my wife. The caller indicated that she was Investigator Katie Scott. She was hesitant in giving me any information and it was like pulling teeth to get anything from her. Scott advised that she was from the Fraud department and needed to speak to my wife. She did not say what Fraud Department and when asked tried to make it sound like she was an official with Maricopa County (Az.) I asked which department she was from and then she stated that she was with the Law Firm of O'shea and Devine. She indicated that a Carl Young had used my wife's name as a reference and they were turning the matter over to the D.A.'s office today. She referenced 537547AZ and the complaint number. She did have our home phone number and address which is scary enough.

Katie scott call my family members saying I have been a victim of a identity fraud and I need to call her . If u was and her supposably a private eye then why didn't she call me and not them. I found out this woman is quite the scanner!

She called me a few hours ago and left a message about my brother.
I called her back and she refused to tell me who she worked for. I turned her name and numbers in
To the Federal Trade Commision. Do you happen to know the name of the company she claims to work for?

Katie scott call my house asking me about my ex son-n-law something about Identity theft a d he not been my son-n-law for 8 yrs how would i know anything bout him ex he n prison and she told me that her self. she a scam tramp and I ask her how she got my number and she told me she got it from the sherrif departmemt she even told me when chris was getting out...

So everyone call an complain katie scott is a fake!

I got a call from this lady too. Researched the number and everbody says its a scam. Did anybody find out any information on this number or this lady?

Katie Scott is a scam she called demanding money and threatened to put a warrant outdoor my arrest if I didn't pay. She said the bail would be 3500 dollars. She said I wrote a bad check and I don't even own any checks. She claimed the date was may 9 2009 for x amount of dollars. She said I needed to go to Wal-mart only and send a moneygram. This is a scam beware she is also claiming to be affiliated with Maricopa county. I called the bank about a bad check and they said the information was false and that there were no chcks written to a paycheck advance company.

She's definitely a scam.  She called someone I know today giving them the same story.  Everyone needs to call the police and report this chick.

Katie Scott is a scam and she should be stopped.

Katie Scott has called me several times from this number asking for money i "owed" on a pay day loan in 2009 and if i didn't pay day $647 i would be arrested. This is a scam and its a cell phone she calls from but claims she from a law office. I dont know a law office that operates with cell phones. She didn't want give any info about the "law office" such as the address or another phone number, she got an attitude when i asked. Don't trust this Kate Scott person.

I received the same call from the same lady but a month or so ago I received the call from a man. "Kate Scott" told me the same thing I would. Be arrested if I didn't pay and I had only a few hours. I'm currently researching this company to see if it's legit
