About an hour received the same call from a No Caller ID number.  Caller identified himself as Stan Matthews.  The number he gave is 716 299 0021.   Subject is an affidavit of fraud.

I have also received a call from Joe Williams from SGA and Associates. He states that there is an affidavit of Fraud on his desk with my name and SS#. He stated I should call him back but when I did the answering machine response did not seem legit for a law office.

I have also received a call a few minutes agor from a Joe Williams in SGA and Associated in NY. Their number is 716-299-0021. He calimed that there was an affidavit of Fraud on his desk with my name and social security number and I should call him back. This guy is an idiot tho think i would fall for that

I just now got a call from him, blocked number,  same thing, said he was a paralegal and that there is an affidavit of fraud under my name and SS# on his desk. Seemed fishy so I googled him. and I got here. Thanks for the info, I was kinda freaking out, had no idea what he was talking about. A little disturbing he has my number though.

Maybe you should check your spelling and grammar before you call anyone an idiot.  You shall also be mindful of saying hateful things and are not true about other postings.  These people are going to be reported to every agency and they shall stop threatening people and their families.

Got a call from 716-299-0021 they are attempting to serve me papers for a debt back in 2008 (which was paid). What do I do?

I had the same experience as everyone else and the call came in with no caller id, so naturally- I did not answer it.  Rather than jump to conclusions or have my lawyer call them back- I knew by the man who named himself was not legit in any fashion.  He said he was paralegal "Joe Williams with SGA & Associates" and had no enunciation or any professional demeanor in any of his message.  This was almost laughable.  I will report this to all agencies.

A call received today from stated Joe Williams with SGA Associates from a restricted number on my phone. I had missed the call and he had left a voice message saying a Miguel Ramirez had gotten a hold of my SSN and there had been an identity fraud with "my" SSN accounnt. The man, Joe, said the call was meant for Miguel Romero and was instructed to call 716-299-0021.

This is not the first call from this guy. And he is always looking for Miguel. It was just a different reason this time.

Joe Williams is a scammer for sure! He called from 716-299-0021. He was actually believable, until he wasn't!!! He even went as far as giving me a physical address in my town. I went to check it out, it was a wide open space of nothing! I reported him to local authorities and they gave me a number to the FBI to report him to them! SGA & Joe, your day is coming to receive all the grief you have put on others and their families!!

So I've also been getting a calls from this number. his name is Joe Williams and he says that he has a paper this notarized and its something about fraud and its in my name and Social Security number. I have called several times and left messages and nobody has returned my call. But they continue to leave me messages about this matter. I have yet to figure out where in the world the fraud had come in, I have never been in trouble or skipped out on any payments my entire life. As far as I'm concerned they will have to prove that I owe something before I consider making any payments to anything. Also I believe that fraud is a crime punishable by an arrest and fines, not a collection agency or a Law Firm... so good luck! I wouldn't believe anything they had to say.

I received a call from Joe Williams from the number 716-299-0139.     He said he was a paralegal with SGA Associates.  Joe Williams said this was related to a matter of Fraud that was connected to my social security number.  He said I had taken out a cash advance from Cash Net USA in 2007.  He had my closed bank account information, my  full social security number and my current home phone, which is unlisted and unpublished.

I have been called at my office several times by a gentleman claiming to be Stan Matthews  with SGA and Associates and he is stating that I have committed fraud.  He leaves a very detailed message on my answering machine.  From everything that I have read here these guys seem to be con artist.  Make sure you know the laws of your state and report these blood sucking jerks to the appropriate authorities.

I got a call today from this supposed company. Saying that I owed for a payday loan I have never heard of. He gave me all the information without verifying I was who I said, he did not go through the whole this is an attempt to collect...blah blah blah. I questioned the debt and he got mad. I asked him to send me the information on the debt, when it was incurred and so on. He refused and said they had already tried to mail me information. I asked him to verify my address and when he told me the wrong address and I tried to correct it he told me it didn't matter because they won't mail me anything. So I asked him to email me the information I requested and he said he would and all I got was a letter saying it was a debt collection attempt with the amount. I used to do debt collection and I know the law regarding it and he broke everyone of them.

Just received a call  from a ?Tony? stating that he was a Processor with the St. Louis County Courts and that I was scheduled to be served tomorrow and my signature was needed on some legal documents.  I was told to make sure that I had my driver?s license available for identification.  I was told to call 716-299-0139 if I wanted to stop further action with this.  Yea, well I just called the St. Louis County Courts and there is NOTHING on me!!!!  Nice try!!!!!!  Been through this way too many times!!!

Keep getting calls from a person who calls himself, Tony Andrews from 215-857-5311 says he is some sort of personal field rep from SGA and Associates, tells me that he will be out this coming week for me to sign some sort of paperwork.  Then he says that if I need further assistance to call 716-299-0139.  I have been calling that number since early this morning and all I get is a recording.  Like the person above, you would think that if they really wanted something they would have people standing by to answer questions!  Oh, and I called this Tony Andrews back and the number is now out of service.  I smell a scam if there ever was one.  I will continue to call this 716-299-0139 but I refused to take a day off from work to get "screwed" by just scam artist.  And, I will not pay one red cent until they or whomever can prove they have something concrete against me.  Be afraid, be very afraid of taking this number or the other one.

THese guys claim too be a legal office somebody by the of Stan Matthews called me the other day threating too throw me in prison said it was regarding a online payday loan I never took out I told him repeatedly I know nothing of this loan so he went forward and said he was recording the conversation and that it be presented in front of a judge then he also claimed he was sending the too my house too lock me up these guys are not legit or as they claim they are I have reported them too the better buisness Better Business Bureau so i advise anybody who are receiving calls from these crooks to report them and don't give them any. Of your information

A couple days ago i responded to an ad on craigslist for a 'reputable' collections firm that would 'pay top dollar' for their 'call center' so i called, scheduled an interview that day and was hired on the spot. No application, no resume, no paperwork, nothing. Just boom, your hired. They had me calling people right away, and i can tell you that for every account the have multiple numbers and multiple ways of contacting so called 'debtors'. I was told to ' hound the criminals' until they paid their debt. I can tell you first hand, THIS IS A SCAM! I was told multiple times to 'juice the balance' on accounts. That is, take what someone supposedly owes, and make them pay triple that. I was told to use the fake name 'aaron conner'.  Ill use that name here too to protect myself. I was never paid for the time i worked their, in fact once i fully caught on to what was going on there, i walked out and went straight to the police department. There is now official investigations pending against them with the Niagara falls police department, and niagara and erie county sheriffs offices. I can tell you that the 2 men that run this operation are named chris and jim. Theyve rented out a small office in a business park in niagara falls new york. The number they call from is in fact an office phone, and they are in the office every day from 10am to 7pm, eastern time. The address is 4829, tomson ave, niagara falls ny, 14304. And if anyone reading this has received a call from me i am truly sorry to have wasted your time, i didnt know at the time i was participating in a scam. But i have reported them to the proper authorities.

This so call agency called my work and left a message about fraud and forgery. so I'm pissed, #1 I have no debt, #2 he left this detail message on my work, #3 little do they know I do the same job but at a management level with a degree and associated with several Credit & Collections Associations. In others words I know the Credit & Collection Laws. Anyway I called back and spoke to this guy with the deep voice Joe or James. I told him not to call my job, he said I'm calling about a debt. never said from who, never identified himself or the company. Never explained to me this is an attempt to collect a debt...blah blah blah...So I jumped in and said PROVE IT!!!!! lmao now.... he got SO ANGRY he YELLED AT ME saying dont you ever call me again I see you in court... as I laughed hysterically. He tried to slam the phone down and must have missed because it did not hang up until he slammed it a 3rd time...judging he was VERY UPSET with me for using two words PROVE IT!!! I mean I think his blood pressure shot up who sits in a office and does this all day to people..them..calling from their home office. Always remember they must send you WRITTEN  PROOF!!! and send a contract that you actually signed. Never give in to these thristy azz agencies. The burden of proof is on them. Usually they can't prove it because the files have been sold or sooo outdated. In addition the courts are not allowing these payday advance people to sue because of the outrages interest rates they charge. There is a law that caps on payday loans interest rates people. I sit in court and hear this allot. The judges throw the cases out. SO NOW IM REPORTING THEM TO BBB OF NY, US ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND CHECKING INTO THEIR LICENSE TO COLLECT. WHAT JURIDICTIONS. MESS WITH THE WRONG SISTAH TODAY!

Stan Matthews indicates call back number is 716-299-0139.
He called from 716-236-7867.
I'm starting to get tickled with all the threats of being sued by this scammer. Bring it on Stan, Joe, or whatever else you decide you want your name to be.
Please don't give them ANY MONEY. Know your rights. Spread the word everyone.

You are a LIAR!!! You should be put in prison or worse... Scamming people out of their money...  Best advise I could give anyone here...... Do your homework... You can always call original creditor off your reports and trace it down.  I did!!!   They have stolen people's information from legitimate collection companies and are trying to collect off them...  Even if they are calling the wrong person they have someone else's info they are trying to get money from!!!!!

Hey I hate collection calls who likes em... We are people you have in the past been down on our luck and have gotten behind....many have...if it is your debt pay it...but just make sure its yours or hasn't been paid already, and make sure it's the right company you're paying ...

I am gladly reporting these guys with all their names and company names to the FTC and NY state attornys office...

If more of us do this... These guys will be put down sooner not later!!!  So don't just post.. Report them too. Or a yr from now they will be doing again under another name and number!!,

Trash they are!!!!

I am getting weekly calls from this guy Tim Michaels stating I must call him back so he can get my work address or home address so he can serve me with court papers on a check fraud. This guy is simply a moron

I used a Pay Day Loan in California in 2005 but I never defaulted on the loan. These guys are punks who can't even do a believable scam. I think I will devote some time to repeatlly call these guys and ask for a girl named Sue.

James McKinney: What you need to do i stop f_cking with people lives. The address is real for this scam artist that keep calling people and leaving these message telling people that in 72 hours that someone will be coming to arrest their love ones. I have had this man or associate call my home about 3 to 4 times and a day leaving this message. The when you call them back they can only talk to that person. MY thing is if their name isn't on the phone number you called and then stop calling them. Now the IDIOT is the fake a_s company SGA Associate, Chris James and Associate and least but not gone James McKinney.

Keep getting harassed from a company that calls them self Select Global....A certain person " Joe Williams" has been calling family members asking for me and for me too contact them regarding Fraud??? Have no idea on what he is getting at... If fraud was the case, wouldn't there be more action than just some phone calls with some stupid threats??? Get a call from these scammers tell them too send you some documents... I bet they will ask, "what is your address" shouldn't they have that already??? DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY BANKING INFO !!!!!!!!!

4 messages left from SGA & Associates, sounding somewhat threatening.  I will not return the call or take a call from them, as like the others above I believe it to be a hoax/scam.

I received a call from a Tim Michaels looking for my son. He supposedly is being charged by the county court where we lived 8 years ago for fraud, and if he did not appear in court there in 6 days there would be a warrent put out for his arrest. My son was to call this Tim by 9 AM Tues. after Labor day to discuss what the charges were about and how they could be resolved. The number to call was 716-236-7541. I asked if he was a 3rd party collection agent and he said he worked for an investigator of frauds.He did tell me the name of SGA  Associates. I called the court house to see if my son was actually on the Docket and his name did not appear. Also the case # this Tim gave me does not come close to the way Colorado identifies case numbers. Then I called the sheriff's office of the county to report this SCAM!!! When people are down on their luck the last thing anybody needs is some crook threating them with more $$$ and jail.

I have been paying this company called Select Global assets and i called today aug 28 2012 and its on a debt call first america cash advance and i been paying it for months and i just called on this day to find out the name of the original debtor and i was transfered 3 times and finally when they gave me the name they gave me a attitude and was threating me about court then i got of the phone then half hour later called again and ask them to send something in writing about the debt and they got upset again and said were take my payment history off their records talked about court again and hung up

I live in WA state and he JUST called our house today...  He's asking for a name of an individual that we do not know, but has added our last name to the supposed contact he's attempting to reach.  He says he's calling about an affidavit of fraud for this person, against a case# such & such, attached to her SS#.  She's supposed to call him back direct, or have her legal counsel call him back imediately.  He identified himself as "Tim Michaels, from SGA & Assoc." and left the phone number 716-236-7541.

I got a call from this group.  There is a partial message on my answering machine. The man started talking before the beep.  I live in Oklahoma and work for the state.  Check you state laws.  In Oklahoma you cannot be sued by an out-of-state attorney. It must be someone of the Oklahoma Bar and it must be filed within the OK Court System.  I don't owe a past debt.  They were calling asking for someone that I have never heard of and I have had this number for seven years.  I read on another site where they are leaving threatening messages regarding an impending law suit.  When you call back, your call is billed to an international number.  Then your phone company is charged thousands of dollars, which they pay. They you are in hock to your phone provider. Be very careful.  It pays to be an informed consumer.  Good luck.
