Yes I got a call today with a msg that I'm being sued for 2 fraudulent items against my soc sec and they would be filing with my county',I'm clueless

I got the same call yesterday and when I called back she said her name so fast I could barely write it down and then I was placed on hold and they never came back to the phone. I thought this was really strange so glad I'm not the only one.

Gor the same call this morning, just reported it to the police. As the others it was a woman, pre-recorded message, 2 counts of fraud attached to my name/ssn. Stated could only dispute if called legal dept BEFORE being served summons. Never said my name...I called the number and got a foreign guy (sounded like from India) saying he didin't know what was going on, that he got another call stating same thing yesterday...need to call phone company to see why??

Called my phone with somebody I would be charged with fraud charges and were going be serving me with papers if I didn't get in touch w/ them. Call the number back and all you get is music. The call is a recording, you can't understand the name of the company or who exactly is the person is you have to talk to. But you can understand the threats clearly!

Got the same call today. Thought what the heck could it be...? Called it but always get a person to put me on hold. Thanks for the info.

2 Charges in my county with fraud that is attached to my ss #.   And gives me a file number and states that I need to speak to someone in their legal dept.   Threaten me by saying if I didn't speak to someone in their legal depart before charges are filed, I lose my right to contest them.

I received a call from this number stating that they are from a processing company regarding some fraudulent activities.  Also stated that I and my son had before the summons are delivered to resolve this issue and my case number is ACE11264.  I did not answer because I have my phone on vibrate.  I am going to contact my attorney and the FBI.

also got same calls and spoke to the da about these scammers there company is not real

i got the same phone call from a female with  the same voice from a different phone just like this one. She kept saying the same things.She kept calling me from a different phone number each time.

I just go my daily call on my house phone and my cell phone from the 720 and the 347 number i called my cell phone carrier and got both numbers blocked so now they are calling and it comes through as no caller id. these people make me sick i filed complaints w the fbi, the ftc and the attorneys general office in colorado for the 720 number and the guy there said they had numerous calls about this number.  I just want it to stop

After I recevied my calls from this number and read this thread about them, I followed what most people said- to call local sheriff and verify/report this going on. So I called them and the man I spoke to, said to me "well M'am, if they are collections and you owe, its valid, they can serve". I shared with him the ongoing complaints this site has posted and asked if this behavior was legit, and he acted as if this is normal.

I did not call anyone else as I wasnt sure where to take it.

It is really weird that they call in the mid afternoon EST. and leave a message on the phone about me having 2 frauds against me cause of my ss# and giving me my case # as Q234***. whatever!
Then today they threaten with a summons for the warrants, okay come and get me. In the real world they would send you a register letter stating the cause, now it is weaseling out threats on the phone lines with instant message services. I pray if someone gets this phone call like I did, doesn't have a bad heart, it could send them into cardiac arrest!

no not yet, I got the same call today, they said this was my third and final warning. Is still waiting.

social security fraud against me on two counts, threaten to bring warrants against me and has asked for my address and employment info

the same thing just happened to me These calls freak me out. THey called my house phone and my cell phone and I googled the number again and saw your post.  I did call the attorney general and the ftc how can these people be stopped...It just makes me sick to my stomach
I thought I was the only getting these calls especially after the 2nd call today saying that I needed to call them and verify my work address and home address so they can come serve me papers an if I didn't call back today then I forfeit all my rights is that about what yours said too

They are a scam. They have been calling me since 2007 with a year break at a time with same message but different phone numbers. My attorney already told me every time has been a scam. I did as he and my local FBI office told me to do and ignore and block each new phone number they call from.

Basically the same thing that everyone else said.  I received a call last week with the whole "fraudulent activity on your account."  I told them to send me written notification of said debt.  Funny thing is that they said I took out a loan in July 2007 and said it was under my maiden name.  I was married by that point and even if I took out a loan (which I didn't), it would have been under my married name.  After I got off that call (because I was hung up on when I called the guy out and told him what he was doing was illegal), I did research on the web and found all the sites with complaints about them.  I contacted the Atty General of CO who informed me not to give them any personal info or $ (which I have not) and they would be looking into this as they are not licensed with their office and is probably a scam.

Today, I received the call "to verify my work and home address so they could serve me" unless I contacted them today.  I contacted them today, told them to verify the debt in writing.  I was told I did get verification when the loan was opened...in 2007.  Seriously?  I told them I already contacted the Atty General of CO and was advised not to discuss anything else with them.  I was told my account would be signed off as refusal to pay and they would see me in court.  I told them I was not refusing to pay but I required written verification.  Again, I was yelled out and in the middle of the tirade, I hung up.

I contacted the Atty General again and he advised me to ignore any other calls.  He also advised me to file a complaint with the FTC and FBI.  I've already filed the complaint with the FTC.  I will now be filing a complaint with the FBI.

calling summons trying to verify fraud charges

Received 3-4 calls from 7204460630. Prior to asking for my name, a Missouri # called me asking for someone I did not know.(same exact message/machine) Messages left say same thing as everyone else's comments. Today- they said this is final call and wanted my work and home address and 'good luck in court'. I called back to get the name of this place and was advised the person worked as an information operations specialist, for BAA Associates. He asked me the last 4 of my SSN # and I told him he should tell me since he has my information, he repeated himself in a more stern voice and I asked him to send me something about this and I cant give out my personal information. He stated 'I will have the arbitrator sign off on this' and hung up.

I googled BAA A**. and nothing came up. I never received anything in the mail in writing over the past 10 years to indicate I had this debt.

They are "extortion scammers" And they also are breaking the FDCPA laws..

Please do file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..

Section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf requires 3rd-party debt collectors to give debtors written notice of debt (the key word is *shall*) :
"§ 809. Validation of debts
(a) Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing?
(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and
(5) a statement that, upon the consumer?s written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor."

A Collection Agent May Not?

Here are the top 11 actions prohibited by the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:

Misrepresent Him or Herself

  A debt collector may not misrepresent himself as an attorney or law enforcement officer.

Use the Telephone to Annoy or Harass

  A collection agent may not cause a telephone to ring or engage any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass anyone at the called number.

Threaten Arrest or Lawsuit

  A collection agent may not threaten a consumer with arrest. It may not threaten legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated. In other words, a the threat of a lawsuit may be an empty one.

Use Abusive or Threatening Language

  A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.

Publish a Bad Debt List

  Publishing the consumer?s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.

Contact By Embarrassing Media

  A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector?s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.

Contact a Consumer at Work

  A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.

Seek Unjustifiable Amounts

  A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Contact a Consumer Represented by an Attorney

  A collection agent may not contact a consumer after it learns the consumer is represented by a lawyer.

Communicate With a Consumer After Receiving a Validation Request

  If a consumer sends a written §1692g response within 30 days, the collection agent may not communicate with the consumer until it mails the consumer the requested verification of original creditor's name and address.

Communicate With Third Parties

  A debt collector may not reveal or discuss the nature of a consumer?s debts with third parties other than the consumer?s spouse or attorney. A collection agent may contact neighbors or co-workers only to obtain location information. It may contact a third party again if it has reason to believe the information the party provided previously is false.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ

Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:

Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?

  Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.

I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?

  No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.

A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay

  This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

? filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims? relatives, friends, and employers.

2 Charges in my county with fraud that is attached to my ss #.   Asked for me by name  funny thing they spelled my last name istead of saying it.

And gives me a file number and states that I need to speak to someone in their legal dept.  
Threaten me by saying if I didn't speak to someone in their legal depart before charges are filed, I lose my right to contest them.

Really who are these people and what planet do they live on where I can not defend myself or contest things that are untrue.

I received the same call everyone is talking about saying fraudulent activity has been attached to my name and social and that. 2 charges will be filed against me, etc..... I have to admit it scared the crap out of me because I didn't answer and they left this message. Couldn't ever talk to anyone when I called back. I started thinking maybe someone had stolen my identity and did something under my name and social or that maybe it was a scam. It is just wrong to call someone saying those things! I am going to report them and I hope everybody else does too. I don't even have a company name except from what others have put on here.

i got a call and so did my husband.  could ot hear the name of the company

I received the same call yesterday around 12:00 PM on my cell phone.  I didn't answer so they left a message stating they were from the Processing and Summons Department. I needed to contact them before I was served otherwise I would forfeit my rights. I would served at my home or workplace. Also gave me a file number or something to reference. I called this morning and was given the company name as  an  "Bronson & Associates" an attorney office. I told him that I would have my attorney contact him directly with questions.

did you actually ever get served a summons from these scumbags?  i got the same call yesterday - crazy scary.......

DID YOU ACTUALLY EVER RECEIVE A SUMMONS??

DID ANYONE ACTUALLY RECEIVE A SUMMONS????   I GOT THE SAME SCARY CALL YESTERDAY!!!  THESE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!

This is a debt collector (Asset Acceptance) using deceptive trade practices to deceive the person they are calling to try to collect a debt.  They are using a number that belongs to Quest Communications in order to deceive the people they are calling.  I believe what they are doing is illegal, and fradulent and I think something should be done about it.  How bout we all get together and sue them for fraud and deception.  Hello Asset, we know our rights, so F***ck off!

2 Charges in my county with fraud that is attached to my ss # And gives me a file number and state that I need to speak to someone in their legal dept.   Can't. Understand the name of the company what I can make out of it is processing services division
