I have received several calls at my job and my cell phone from "Victoria Chavez" who claims that I owe a debt. When I asked her to send me the information in writing she said she would and to wait a week. Also, when I call back to her office there is never a company recording.... just a recording that says, "You have reached Victoria Chavez's Office." This is a SCAM!  Please do not fall for it. Whenever she would leave me a voice mail she would always say, "I wish you good luck." I see messages about this phone number dating back to 2010. They ought to be ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of hard working people. Over time their name has changed slightly and the phone number has changed slightly. Currently the number is still 678-369-0126.  Please do not provide any information to these people. If you want to throw your money away, get in your car.... drive down the street.... open your window.... and throw your wallet out.

Call saying that i have a fraud case pending against me and I need to call back immediately before legal action is taken.

You people who think this is legit  and people are "doing their jobs" are IDIOTS!  I was a bill collecter for many years and this is OBVIOSULY phishing for information to clean out your bank accounts!  you should know who you DO and DO NOT owe money for and to whom!

DUH!

Received a call from Henry, Zachery and Best -- number is 678-359-4464, Barnesville, Georgia

claiming to look for one of our employees.   The caller used the name Dwane Edmonds, claimed to calling from a lawfirm.

Received call from same company!  Used a different name and extension -- looking for an employee.  
Dwane Edwards used # 678-359-44654 -- THIS IS A SCAM to extract information for possible identity theft.

I have gotten a few calls from this number 678-369-4698.  A Mr. Robinson called my mother and left a case number for her.  The voice mail said that I was on his "Top Wanted List" and it would be in my best interest if I called him back.  I did call him back to tell him that I was filling bankruptcy.  He said that until I have a case number he will be "actively pursuing" me.  I have to say this, with our economy the way it is and the cuts in my job, pay day loans seemed like the best/easiest way to get help.  Now that I have 7 out  and am paying more in "finance charges" than I have money coming in, I have no other choice but to file.  So thanks Mr. Robinson for the conversation, I knew you weren't legit to begin with but if you want your money, I'll see you in court.

I just got a call from a Jennifer Hammond stating that she is an investigator, it did sound right so I didn't return her call.  I am glad I googled the number and saw all of your post.

These people have threaten all kinds of things. They said if I didnt pay they would have a police officer to come to my door and have me taken to jail. These people can not provide me with any type of information at all about the "law firm". No address nothing can they provide me with but yet they can threaten me with all kinds of things. Now for those of you that may not know thw law and how things like this work I am going to tell you. First of all if you have committed fraud you will be served papers by your local police department or sheriff's department in which they will come to you. You will either be arrested or summons to court. It will be handled in the legal relm not people calling you over the phone like this load of crap from these people. You can file a complaint with the FCC and really this is exactly what everyoneneeds to do when they are contacted by people such as this, they are awful for doing this type of stuff to people but this is the way they make money. You have the right to any and all information if someone is trying to collect a debt that you really owe. If the company can not provide you with this information you have the right not to deal with these people. You have the right to put a stop to these people. Contact your local court house and start legal actions against these people. It is harrassment and that is harassment which is a CRIME!!!! I hope this will help many of you. You do have rights and you can protect yourself.

Ms Hammon calls and threatens me with felony charges. She called me this morning and had me upset. I have been off work due to ankle surgery.

Mr. Edmonds called my JOB!!! A big problem for me. He stated that he had a message that I had am outstanding  pay day loan that was sent to him for Investigation amd that it was urgent to settle this matter. I called back the # and it went straight to a fax line....Whats this really about??? I wish if this is a bill collector just speak the truth and explain the matter without all the lies and tricks!!! I have been a victim of Fraud and everything scares me now. I refuse to give any info to anyone who can't provide me with legit proof if any debt or etc.

Watch for Mr. Edmonds, he calls from 678-369-0105. The numbers go to either fax numbers or personal home numbers it seems. So very nice of him to "wish me good luck"!!! I indend to file a complaint.

I love how people that work there post things about how helpful and nice they are. HAHAHA. Everyone sees right through that, hope they give you a raise for the crap you say to make them look legit!
Ohhh yes, very helpful by accusing people of fraud (which it is NOT), and threatening jail (which they CANNOT do).
And making up titles like "Investigator such and such" when they are just lowlife scammers. Don't let these people scare you. Impersonating officers of the law is against the law and I am reporting them to every agency I can find!
A legitimate collection agency will never lie about being an investigator, will never threaten jail time because they know the law, and will not accuse you of a crime you did not commit.

CLAMING TO BE A LAW FIRM (SOUTH EAST LEGAL) THEY TALK FAST ON PURPOSE, A  FEMALE NAMED ELRDIGE CLAIMED TO BE A SECRETARY FOR THE ATTORNEY AND  ALLEN MCDUFFY CLAIMING TO BE THE ATTORNEY.... TRIED TO GET ME TO PAY MY PAYDAY LOAN  OVER THE PHONE WITH MY CREDIT CARD .. WOULD NOT GIVE ME AN PHYSICAL ADDRESS TO MAIL THEM THE  MONEY ORDER............... BEWARE.............

Stupid people calling me about a case they have against me for fraud. Said I will appear in court and will be put in Jail. Number is (678)369-0105 and wont tell me his name... I have payday loans that are in collection so there telling me I'm fraud!!!

I just received a VM via my mobile with a long message and case number: 33888064. The message was from Jennifer Hammond who identified herself as an investigator and said that I had a theft by deception and account fraud case pending against me. When I attempted to call back the call disconnected. Called again and was promptly placed on hold. Seems to be very suspicious to me.

This is to everyone that has received any phone calls from Henry Zachery & Best!  DO NOT GIVE ANY CARD INFORMATION TO THIS ORGANIZATION...ITS FRAUD!!!! IF SOMEONE NAME MS. HAMMOND OR MR. PHELPS CALLS YOU! PLEASE HANG UP IMMEDIATELY THEY ARE TRYING TO GET MONEY FROM ANYONE WHO IS WILLING TO GIVE OUT THEIR CARD INFORMATION.  HERE IS THE NUMBER THEY CALLED FROM 678-369-0944!

got the same call, dealt with a Mr.Beckem, i thought it was fraudulent when there was no telephone number on the papers they were sending, especially when the paper said the telephone number was on the reverse side. and the first time "Mr.Beckem" called before he said anything about my so called case he pretended to be a drag queen calling to get hair extentions. Real fing professional, he has then called two other times playing the same games, till a woman called me saying she was his supervisor. I'm gonna have a case against them.

SOMEONE CALLED MY EX-WIFE'S RESIDENCE.  SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME LAST NAME AS I DO.  MY SON ANSWERED THE PHONE AND SOMEONE BY THE NAME OF MS. HAMMOND TOLD MY SON IT WAS AN EMERGENCY FOR ME TO CALL THEM.

Got the same person, a Jennifer Hammond who left a long message saying that a serious fraud case was pending. The only thing is, it was for some one I don't know named Camille Davis. No such person lives at my address nor do I know this person. How they got my number I will never know. The caller ID says N. Perkins with the number 678-369-0944. From what I am reading online, I am assuming it is a scam and will not call to tell them their error.

RECEIVED A CALL FROM JENNIFER HAMMOND @  MY WORK NUMBER REGARDING A FRAUD CASE PENDING ANGAINST ME, CALLED BACK @ 678-369-0944 SHE GAVE A  CASE NUMBER OF 33653267 I'M ON HOLD NOW

Same story here...Jennifer Hammond said I have a serious fraud case against me, advised me to call her b4 Friday or other legal actions will be taken. Did not leave the name of the company or any other information regarding where she was calling from - only her call back number, 678-369-0944. Callled my place of employment.

Just got the same thing from the same woman at work.I did a reverse look up online and it comes from a landline in Jonesboro, GA. I don't know anymore than that but I am really upset.

I did a reverse checkup for the number 678-619-1689 because I actually talked with a Mr. Phelps today who insulted me beyond words.  Mr. Phelps says he works for HZB, Henry, Zachary & Best.  The number above is from a landline in Jonesboro, GA.  I am NOT the person he says he is looking for to collect a debt for a DJR Group.  I have never heard of this group nor have I ever taken out a payday loan.  I will be finding ways to report all to somebody.  Any suggestions on who all and how many people to report to will happily be appreciated.

Just got the same call from same woman and the irony is I just filed reports with county police, FBI internet fraud division.. someone told me to contact Homeland Security to treat this a threat ...

Received threatening message stating that I had commited fraud and if I didnt call by Friday, they would do whatever necessary.

I recently received the same type of call but needless to say Mrs. Hammond was very pleasant and realize she is just doing her job the company is a collections/attorneys network.  She was very professional and very easy to talk to unlike many collection agencies who belittle you she was very understanding but firm and advised me of what my options were she even educated me on some consumer information.  Maybe, if some of you would take the time to call her back instead of run from your debts you will see she is very easy to work with.  Be responsible pay your debts stop bad mouthing the people who are just doing their job!!!

Why on earth would you waste your time and Homeland Security's time with nonsense you need to pay your bills!!! People like you make people like us who want to resolve our debts difficult!  She simply is doing her job and advisng you if you don't pay your debt legal action will be filed you are the one that needs to reported not her or her company you are an idiot!!!

It's pathetic and sad that anyone can go on these sites and post something negative, I have dealt with HZB and Mrs. Hammond first hand and they are a legitimate company and have researched them so what if they are homebased , they are licensed and very professional!  The time some of you are using to blog go get a job and pay your bills!!!  Funny how when you took the payday loan out you weren't screaming fraud now it's time to pay it's fraud geesh!!

Samantha Owens, Jacob Warren and R.Joseph, you are the smartest, most wonderful sensible people  I have heard from so far! I have atmost respect for people like you.You absolutely get that these loans were applied for-whether good or bad, and that it is your responsibility to pay them back the same way they were loaned to you.Now you three get it!!

All the best and remember stay away from fire if you don't want to get burnt.ALL the best people!!

There are several threads about these folks that describe this exact tactic, and what to do about it.  Go to debtconsolidationcare (dot) com (slash) collection-agencies (slash) hzb-financial-services (dot) html and read all about it.  Or Google "HZD Financial Services" to find their so-called legitimate web page as well as numerous reports about their illegal collection tactics.
