This company is actually Four Star Resolution, LLC (filed with New York State as 4 Star Resolution, LLC). They always call themselves F.S. (fill in the blank - Mediation, Legal, etc.). They are collecting on PayDay loans that were issued in New York and Maryland where they are illegal. Report them to the FTC, the CFPB and the New York Attorney General. Save the letters they send with a Canadian return address, they are an FDCPA violation by themselves (keep the envelope they are mailed with a Syracuse NY pre-sorted mail permit). A class action attorney could have a field day with a written threat of legal action on an illegally originated pay-day-loan.

They actually operate out of a boiler room at 1839 Seneca St., Buffalo, NY 14210.

Here's a link to their BBB profile:

http://www.bbb.org/upstate-new-york/business- ... lo-ny-235970527

File a complaint with the BBB that describes the company name and telephone number they are using currently if you receive a letter or a phone call. All of the names they use are totally fake and bogus: Frank White, Mark Johnson, John Ford, etc.

The company is actually owned by Travell Thomas. Travell likes to hide his location and doesn't come into the office much, but his mother Cynthia Thomas lives at 56 Fennimore Ave., Buffalo, NY 14215. You can give her a call at (716) 837-2858.

Must be something about this site that makes attorneys forget how to spell? (I hope this is legible, my eyes are still adjusting from reading his post!)

Still at it, eh?  Mr thompson/senior attorney or whatever name you want to use, nobody here is going to believe a word you say.  You "no" who this person is, do you?  But you still can't spell.  And you still don't KNOW the difference between slander and libel.  The person who you scammed did a chargeback?  Good!

Please be careful of the debt collection laws binding in every state, Mr. Fanatical Services. Try not to type with mittens on next time.

Moron alert!  You'd think a "senior atty" would know the difference between slander and libel.  But he also can't spell or use punctuation, so go figure.

Yes he does use another number it is 404-493-6482. The 770 number is a Richard Smith however the 404 number is the same voice and person with the name of Larry Johnson. He told me I owed from a cash advance in Nerasksa from 2006. He said for me to buy a moneypack and send the money on it unfortunately i sent him 600 dollars so far but today i caught onto the scam when i tried to call the 770 number and it was his voice and it said it was Richard Smith. I told him i would not send anymore money until he sends me in writing the name of his company and the attorney he is working with and the proof there is an arrest warrant out for me.

I have been recieving the same calls from Larry Johnson at 770-347-7018 he is threatening to send the sherrif to my place of employment and also speak to my superviser and anyone higher up and get me fired. He is claiming that he is a detective. He also spoke with the receptionist.

I was wondering if the guy called from another number and text you about having an arrest warrant on you.  Larry Johnson with the same number constantly calls me at least four times a day wanting to settle a loan that I have never heard of and this morning I receive a text about a warrant being put out on me.  I am sure this is a scam though because this guy is rude and is very obnoxious.

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.>

These people left a message on my job public voice mail. How can i get this to stop.

I just got a pre recorded message with the same thing.  A restraining order is issued contact the litigator etc.  I do not owe anyone any money.

This person claims to be a Larry Johnson. He is very abusive and threatens you with jai or a lawsuit.
He cannot or will not give you any info other than threats.

scam scam scam... ask them for information to be sent to you do not pay these con artists.. this is not the way a debt recovery is handled nor can a state bring charges through a third party.... file a claim against them

they claim a lawsuit is being filed against you, and that there is a restraining order.
they will even sometime claim you have a bad payday loan or hot checks.

who is this company? I have received several calls from this number
