I fell for this scam!  For the past two months.  They said I defaulted on a loan that I took out in 2010.  Just yesterday, Tameka called me and left a voicemail that my payment had been declined.  That's funny.  I have money in my account.  So, either they are trying to threaten me some more or they don't know how to properly use a credit card.  Either way, i will let my dad know not to answer for them again.  They call him more than they do me.

They call at least once a day. Always the same recorded message. I think they may be related to another "Buffalo" style shady collection agency named "Northern Resolution Group". They use the same tactics. Threaten people and hope they pay something. I bet there is a NY PO Box they want people to send payment to.

The  CAG people call  almost every other day, for a debt my sister owes. I haven't seen her in over 2years.  Told them we don't talk ,don't know where she is. I asked them not to call anymore,she told me they will call me until I make her call them.Texas law is that if I send them a cert. letter saying not to contact me , they have to stop or you can get as much as $500.00 plus court cost. You can look it up on state websites. I think I'll take the low road and next time they call I'm gonna give them a local strip club#.

877 373 6519
407 965 5963
972 564 8764

These are the numbers these people use. They threaten to put me in jail if I don't pay them. They use my maiden name from many years ago. They are bad people. Yelling and threats.

These people are from Capital Arbitrations Group or The Swatch Group. They are extortion scammers. They claim to work for the "courts". Sometimes they have real info and other times they are using maiden names and old numbers. If you try to speak to them, they will get loud and hang up. One call was for check fraud, and the second one was for a returned item from the bank.

They use such phrases as "govern yourself accordingly", and "we represent the courts". They are scammers and you should give ZERO personal info to them. Not your name, not the last four digits of your SS#, and definitely not any banking info.

Got a phone call from Tameka Riggins stating that I owe money for a check and they were a arbitration group that was trying to settle it before it gets to court.  I call my county hot check division and I have no checks out.  I started asking for their physical address, phone #, website and company officials and she kept talking over me.  I asked to speak to her manager and some guy got on the phone pretending to be the general manager and I say pretending because after he got on the phone talking wreckless to me (had him on speaker phone) my husband took over the conversation and told him he was not going to disrespect me.  The guy did the same thing as the female talking over my husband.  We kept trying to get the prior information we asked the girl for and tried to explain that under the FDCPA she/he both were to answer my questions.  The conversation went on and on and ended with the so called general manager calling my husband a bi*** a** n****r and hung up. 2 minutes after that a guy name Bryan Powers called back and was like you all want to speak with me this is the general manager   and we went through the same song and dance

Dave called my number or I when I lived in Missouri using the nine I think with a 972 number um they told me that they had a check fraud case against me im gonna have a beer with a subpoena and they were going to file criminal charges and I told the lady to send me the information in writing she hung up then they started calling my mother telling her the same thing so she would call me upset when I call the person back are they started the same thing and I told them until they send me something in writing the show that and I could secondly um if this was their check fraud case I looked on the courthouse Dr to see if there is any charges filed against me in there was it so I thought I'd let the lady know that and she hung up then January of this year I got a call from a gentleman claiming that he was with the police department there and that they were in process with that Atlanta Georgia Police Department ah and we're going to file charges in both states against me ob and they were going to come and pick me up at my residence and hold me for 24 hours and I would have to pay a fine get out of jail and go to court and they gave me a case number and said that if I paid if they can make it go away why was going to pay it and I took down their information and they transfer me to another department to speak to a gentleman and he turned around and hung up on me and then call me right back when they transferred me well when I got to my friends house he's a cop he called them asking them hey you know them information in the gentleman that I spoke to before got very angry and sad I'm not giving you that information I've already talked with with me meaning. Jacobs and hung up so when I called the guy back into the deal was off and we're going to pursue charges so I can't really check the Kansas City Missouri Court docket in all that in there were no charges filed well now I relocated to Florida and they must have a way to change their phone number they must have different offices now they're calling my sister telling her the same thing and I just told my sister to put them on the no call list so that can't contact her so and I also filed a complaint with the FCC because what they're doing in scaring people telling them that they're going to go to jail in an all day event and I read on a previous post it if you did a check fraud I'm there would be charges against you the police will be looking for you not a collection agency so before you pay them make sure that you do your homework has been posted in any previous a complaint on this website and also file a complaint against this company

They called my sister saying check fraud case from 2009 gv me a case #324923

This lady name tamekia call my father phone looking for me! How the hell they gets his number! These folks need to be stop!

When you know it's them calling, start hitting your phone buttons as if FAX

These People, Capital Arbritrations or The Swatch Group, are as fake and deceptive as their stupid name. Hopefully the FBI or some other agency will catch up with these lowlife scum. Please don't anyone respond to their threats and scare tactics.

This group keeps calling my office and my husbands cell phone. Insists I have a check fraud case. When my husband starts asking questions they go nervous and phone went dead... happens over and over. There is no check fraud. Just a big SCAM!

Have recieved phone call from Capital Arbritrations, a Tomika Capers is the the scammer uses. They really do their homework on the person that they say trying to get a hold of. That call about my daugther using her maiden name not her married name of 14 years. They use infromation about what they can dig up on parents, brothers, sisters and even grandparents. They don't ask for money on first calls. Police have been told about these calls and they say to hangup on them. The FBI are already been look for them. They say it's an offshore scammer using Florida phone numbers. I've read many of these postings and they all sound alike. I hope they catch them soon.

I got a call today from (972)564-8764. The lady left a message at my job for another person. I called the lady back leaving my name. She then returned my call and stated that she was looking for me and that they had a case on me for check fraud. she stated that she was going to take me to court or settle it today but needed my bank information. I told her to send me an email first so I could see something in writing. She didn't know I was checking to see if this was a scam. Now I see it is.

Same situation with me. I've tried to call them back and they never answer but when they call they call from different area codes 972, 407, 605. I've looked on line to try to find them and I can't no where I even tried the BBB and nothing. I'm done playing these games I've blocked them and will continue to block them.

Got the call from this company 2 days in a row. Once asking for me by my previous married name and also asking for my ex. Stating he took out a loan , defaulted and put my name down with it. We have been divorced for 12 years so no I did not help him take out a loan in 2012. The second they called asking for him specifically. Automated system with his name inserted in the blank. Saying a check was returned to the bank. Um then I am sure the bank will let me know that and a lot sooner than a year++ after its happened! Blocked their number and I am getting my legal shield people after them. This is nuts!!!

I have had repeated calls from same scammers. Finally contacted the FBI, and was told this is a total scam. They are only after your personal info and money. Hang up and do not call them back. They also had info on my relatives, and have called them. FBI said this is an "off shore" faudulant organization. Not sure how they are using a Florida # to call from. Also, check your credit report annually.  

Im trying to find any address for his company if anyone has one. They have been calling me and I refuse to have any contact with them over the phone so I want to send them a letter but cannot find them ANYWHERE on the internet. Im not sure if the account has hit my credit report because nothing on my report matches Capital Arbitration at all and when I google the phone number, this is all I get. Please help

Don't ignore these calls. If it is indeed a collection agency and they are violating FDCPA, talk to them and SUE THEM.

these people called my father-n-law during the holidays. On top of that, we live in two completely different states. This is ridiculous. I'm calling the police on them.

They use illegal tactics and violate FDCPA on people. Their tactics are so antiquated.

My best advice is to not answer the phone and if you do, just hang up in the middle of their speech. It's all rehearsed and its all illegal. If you want, you can tell them to have a nice day and go f themselves.

I received the same call in regards to defrauding a financial institution with a surveillance tape for my grown son.  At first due to bad behavior years ago I thought the call was "legit!".    It's a hoax!!  The call came to my residence in Texas.

This same scam group has called back again two days in a row.  Rather than asking for husband this time, we think they are saying that they are looking for the same unknown individual directly about a "returned check".  However, we can't tell for sure if the name is the same because they use a robo call "insert" to say the name and it's so garbled you can't understand it.  Again, we're going to ignore.  

These people are SCAMMERS.. They tell you there has been check fraud against you. Check Fraud is a felony and the only people that would be looking for you is the police. There would be a warrant out for your arrest. There would not be an arbitrator that calls you, and threatens legal action. They have called and harassed my family saying they would be supinaed
if they didn't tell them my whereabouts. As soon as I told her the call was being recorded, and asked for a letter verifying this debt she promptly hung up and never called back. They are looking for payment on a payday loan, which they cannot collect because payday loans are illegal in mass.  Also this is a loan that was paid back and they are looking for the interest which they think they are owed. Do not listen to them, they try to get more of your personal and banking information. If you are worried check with your local police department, they would know if you have any charges against you.

And know the laws in regards..

as I have read the previous statements , same here,
The man on the phone said 'check fraud', but I  know now it is a collection agency. they said call them back at a different number, (which is on my voice mail) I called the number (407) area code, that they called my phone after their hours.  It was Capital Arbitrations, which I did not know what that was, I do now.  Well, they wanted to speak to my son or husband.  Hate to say it, but my son did owe a cash place type of business, and apparently my son put his dad down as a referance.  When my son can, he will settle up with him when he gets a regular job,  I taught him better than that.  owe no man, pay your debts.  but this is not the first time some sort of collection agency called...   even after my brother died some place called, which wanted me to send proff of my brothers will to them.  Are you kidding.  I looked up their number too and also, it was a debt collector,  and I know my brother did not owe any debts.  so the moral of the story, don't get upset, look up the phone number, and do some search first.  Don't let the collectors scare your, hang up..... but all should pay what money they barrow and other types of bills.....I'm in Southern IL.

Yah they told me check fraud. I went tithe cops and they said block his number. But the cops did ca and the guy did stay on the line to try and make the cops believe it too. They are good. Don't give in. I would never write a bad check. And they don't ever call you first to let you know that you're going to get served papers either. People just serve you. What scammers!!

They called my brother saying some check fraud. They called his ex girlfriend too. But I don't even have her phone number!!!! SCAM I never receive call or letter from them!!!

They called me and left a message for my brother... Saying almost the same... Except they said it was check fraud...

I got a call yesterday from a guy with the Florida number and told me to call that other 877 number as well. They called my mom to. It really scared me at work and he just called me again. It's really making me mad!!! What do I do!!!
