They change their name frequently to avoid the many lawsuits and actions being taken against them by state and federal agencies.

I think the principal entity is this company:

http://cmassociationgroup.blogspot.com/

Pamela Cummings Mathews was running that group as well as a newer front that opened last year in Anaheim CA known as PB Recoveries.

Ironically Pam Mathews and a few of her "colleagues" are currently suing the guys who taught her the "trade":

The beauty of that case is that Pam and Joel "Jim" Murphey effectively identified a bunch of other employees - which made it much easier for their victims to track them down!

CMAG/CM Association Group et al is currently registered with the California Secretary of state as CM Association at 1800 E GARRY AVE #114 Santa Ana CA (although they also give 108 Business Center Dr, Corona, CA as an address).  

Gary Boyce, their registered agent, is an employees/debt collector.  Until recently you could see Gary's and other employees' pictures on Pam's facebook page but she apparently got nervous and completely deleted her facebook account (no worries Pam....we made copies of everything before you took it down).

Interestingly in that same building is attorney Luis Vasquez who was associated in the past with the infamous debt collection racket known as Shekinah:

Attorney Vasquez has recently been disciplined by the California Bar Association:

Vasquez also seems to be associated with another notorious debt collection James Novella:

<THIS IS A SCAM!>PSV investagations wants to set up an interview for ongoing asset and location investigation. If you need to cancel, suspend, or reschd. investigations need to call immediately. <THIS IS A SCAM!>

tired of calls

i recieved the same call as stated from all of you above. i asked my father about it and he told me not to answer it b/c there are a lot of scams going around right now.

Guy by the name of Brian called and said they were doing a asset investigation on my holdings and to call this number or 855-223-8846, when i called back it went straight to voice mail

They call my number every 15 to 30 minutes. Is this not harassment. I am going to try and get my phone number changed. I do not owe anyone any thing or money.

I had the same thing about the court time....and they are only stabbing at the air...They are trying to find someone that has the LAST name as mine; but I have no one in my family that I know of with the first name; and I have no unpaid debts; never have had and never will have....this PSV  keeps calling though!

I don't know whom to report them to.

Messages started about three month's ago when I took my phone off unlisted....they use my LAST name but with another given/first name....They call about every other day from this 720 240 9552.  I talked to one woman once and told her to not call anymore in the beginning; but nothing seems to stop them.
I have called and left messages to no avail.  The person they claim to be checking on has same last name, so I know they are simply going thru the phone listings...I'm on a "don't call" list of Fed & State; but don't think that means anything anymore.....These weird people just won't give up....All I can do is hang up the phone....some of them don't speak very good English...Today the number showed on my caller ID as P S V Investigations....so of course I didn't answer....they are very stupid people....I am fortunate to NEVER have had any bad debt nor collections etc...and don't owe any now either...but it still irks me that these characters can get away with bothering the wrong person or persons.

This is annoying number calling fraud

got a call from a very rude woman saying that they were sending someone to my house to investigate me. told them go ahead i have a really big dog said she was from PSV INVESTIGATIONS
but could not give me any info but ask for my ssi and dl i hung up on the stupid person

I spoke with these people, they buy bad debt for the purpose of taking bad debt to litigation.  Unfortunately when they called me they did not do their homework and realize that they bought debt that had already been discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.  They did have access to see that in their data base, and the trick was getting a word in to make him even look.  Amazingly they did find it and told me they would update their database accordingly.  I reached them by not calling back the investigator at 720-240-9552 but instead the number that he left for his client which is the same company doing business under another name at 855-223-8846.

Recording of a serious sounding man, like he was leaving a message, but the spiel started in midstream because the voicemail picked up. Said he needed to reschedule an investigation and to call 855-223-8846. I hit delete!

we got the same message. same thing has happened to us. how can we stop him from bothering us. weird thing is we just got this new number

He said he was setting up appointments for court time.it was a recording.told me to call another number
8552502616 if i wanted information about it.no one answered either number and they didn't call me back.i left messages that i wanted to know what the call was about no call backs

sorry about the caps.  my mistake--just angry.

I too have received several from this number...so sad that someone has nothing else to do but play on the phone.  I didn't get all of his information, but the next time I will and I will report them.

I just got a call from this phone number.female called and wanted to get ahold of somebody for an investigation. Couldn't tel us anything about anything and them called the number back and went straight to voicemail.psv investigation.if anyone has figured anything about this guy/girl please let me know.

I received this call several times. The person on the other line ratlles off a bunch of bull in a very serious souding tone then hangs up before you can speak. If I let it go to voice mail, he says I have to call him back. OK, then why when I answered couldn't he talk to me. The last time he called he said if I didn't call him back that day, he could no longer help me with this matter. Never once did he mention who he was trying to reach or anything about the reason for the call. Total bull... Do not call this guy back, he is nothing and wants to scam you.

We got a similar message as above from this number.  My husband is a former fire/arson investigator, and he said that even private investigators will tell you the date of the incident, no details.  I think this is definitely a scam of some sort.  This person said his name was Ryan Thomas of PSV Investigations.  Did anyone get the same name?

We keep getting messages from this number claiming to be a private investigato who MUST get in touch with us about an ongoing investigation.  However, they never refer to us by name or tell us what it is about.

Was left on hold until I finally hung up. 2 days 1/16. Not called back yet. I tried calling but got recording
