Wow i have worked for this company and the bussiness owner was pretty honest it is the lack of watching and punishing those who broke all the rules that ruined his bussiness I was told not to threaten ppl with jail or threaten to take them to court but many employees were they were even claiming you owed way over the amount you did because pay is based on commission

Received a couple of calls stating a had a pay day loan & would be arrested if not paid.  Number was 678-681-9687.  This was a scam in the first place & I had sent money to Griggs & Asso. Austell,GA. ( Aug. 17, 2010).  They returned a settlement letter to me( $1,248.26 total paid to Griggs & Assoc.- Aug. 2010) (for a payday loan that was never in my bank in the first place)  with the same account number-figured this would cure the current callers-which I sent a fax to Yesterday- 13 Aug. 2013) to Fax: 404-541-4784.  Ms. Brielle returned a call next day & stated the amount was not the same & that I would be arrested if I did not pay $ 700.00 more.  She said she would send an e-mail to me-have not received one, yet.  Also, she stated my settlement letter the phone number had changed to Griggs & Associates so she offered me to pay the $700.00 so I would not be arrested. No money has been sent to this current company. No name was given as the current company only TN3190. During the phone call it sounded like we were being recorded-beeps were heard-she did not state if it was a recorded or not.

Any clue where this is from?

Just got home, had a message from Kimberly Carter that was hard to understand (Fake Static) informing me of a warrent for my arrest for passing bad checks accross statelines.  To call her back about a Court Docet # 10516##.  Have had this type scam tried on me before.

I really love scamming the scammers.
There is a well know scammer on this site by the name of Travel Thomas.
When Travel isn't trying to scam people outa their money , he's off trying to win it away from them in poker tournaments around the country.

So, I made a little bet with him in the form of an online poker site, unbeknownst to Mr. Thomas the site was rigged and I won a good deal of very intimate information about his competition. Here is an updated version of my previous post , thanks to Mr. Thomas.

I guess there is no Honor among thieves.

Jacqueline Brantley is either pouring drinks at her Jr's bar or contemplating where she went wrong in life.

Back to James A Nelms the III , He's an ex-convict who doesn't care how or from whom he gets his money. He has children from at least 2 different women, one of which took his name James Nelms , I (guess that would make him the 4th). That James Nelms may be living in North Carolina , he's also in the ?collections? business like his Big-Daddy. This crap runs in the blood cause James A Nelms III 's little brother  Michael Nelms also has his own collections company based out of  his home in Atlanta Georgia called :

TRISTATE FINANCIAL
ENTERPRISES, LLC
4378 RAINER DRIVE
Atlanta GA 30349

This explains why he's calling from a Georgia phone #. I guess scamming pays off big time. You should Google that address, he goda real perty house.

I suggest you verify the information that I've provided you with and then call them up and pull a Rumpelstiltskin on them.

kIMBERLY Whatever her name is left me a message saying there is a US docet case number with it......that is a federal offense......guess I will be seeing HER in court. If they are going to FILE CHARGES.......hello, they don't call you first. They are morons who need to get REAL JOBS. My bills are ALL PAID.

I did get a payday loan a few years ago and have since learned the miserable truth in all of this.  My personal info was collected after I applied online.  The company I got the loan from, kept taking unauthorized money out of my bank account and I finally closed that account.  I called them several times to payout the the total amount, but they never did....a tactic of theirs to keep stealing money.  I then started receiving calls that a warrant for my arrest was to be issued for 3 counts of fraud and so on.  Scared me to death initially!!  But, I did my homework!!  You can call your State Attorney General's office to find out if payday loans are legal in your state. Turns out they were not in my state of NC.  The lady at the office told me to not pay 1 cent more than what I borrowed.  (I borrowed $300 and only paid them $300).  I then called the Charlotte, NC FBI office and spoke with a super great agent who told me (in regards to stating a warrant being issued for my arrest), no law enforcement agency with a warrant for your arrest, is going to call you first to let you know they are coming for you.  How she said it just made me laugh.  She is so right.....why would a law enforcement official call you and give you a head start to get away from them.  Also, look up FBI on the web and they have a very informative site that gives listings of various scandals and fraudulent activities.  You can see what you have described is a typical scam!!  You can also file a report with your local law enforcement if you choose, just to get this documented and that official can also file it with your State Attorney General's office.  And, if you scare easily and will worry about this, filing a report can give you peace of mind that the law is on YOUR side and not the scammers!!  Please...rest easy!!  They are only trying to intimidate and scare you into paying money ASAP!!

I received a call from a Kimberlee Carter.  She said she was completing paperwork for a warrant and they would be picking me up today in Sacramento at my work.  I told her I don't live or work any where near Sacramento and what was the name of the person they were looking for.  She would not give me any information but she did leave the # 855-294-0888 and to talk to Jeff but he wouldn't be there until after 3:00.  I told her I was a victim of fraud and I told her I would try to help them locate the person they wanted and she wouldn't even take my help.  

I would love to sue all these people for harrassment!
