Thanks for the heads up...great website!

OMG..I HAVE SET 50$ TO A MEGANN WILLIAMS IN BUFFALO NEWYORK...AFTER RECEIVING A MESSAGE AND HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH LEGAL DIVIVSION SERVICES  FROM THE PHONE NUMBER ABOVE..I OWED ON A PAYDAY LOAN IN 2005..THEY WERE GOING TO SUE ME IF I DIDNT PAY. I WORK OUT AN AGREEEMENT, THEN CALLED THE PAYDAY LOAN PLACE .I DIDNT OWE THEM ANYTHING. A WEEK GOES BY CALL 770 LEAVE A MESSAGEFOR JOHN WAITE...I CALL BACK LATER NUMBER IS DISSCONNECTED? WHAT IS THIS ? WHO DO I CONTACT ABOUT MY 50 BUCKS IN NEWYORK?

So "special investigator" Mike Hart called and left a message saying he was looking for some guy named Fred Schmidt who "might be my neighbor and would I relay a message to him". Then went on about some civil matter, case #, the whole bit.  It was the weirdest thing, but I took down all his information and then looked up the number he gave me.  To no surprise I found this website.  So I decided to call the number back.  A different "investigator" answered.  I told him he was a scam artist and asked him if he hadn't heard of the internet where people get wise to idiots like him.  He rudely interrupted me and said "maaaaam, I don't care, f*** off" and hung up on me.  Nice. Criminals with class.  Their mama's would be so proud!

Anyway, thanks to everyone who takes the time to write about these sorts of things.  Saves a lot of headaches.

These people just called my cell and my work number, I did not answer.  Thanks for posting this information!!!!

A message was left on my answering machine asking for my "ex-husband" to return their call because of a civil complaint filed in "BIN LADEN" County. The name he used was Joshua Thomas. I called the number that he left and the pre-recorded telephone answer said that it was no longer a working number. Now that I've seen so many other listings against this number, I'm looking forward to talking to Mr. Thomas to find out exactly who he is representing and what they intend to do. The call was referenced about my EX-HUSBAND - divorced 12-3-1999. I am not legally bound to him in any respect... and who on earth knows where he is now! If they were a legitimate company, you'd think they could be more inventive than using a fake county name as "Bin Laden". Good grief. Was this man so stupid to think that a name like that wouldn't sound off an alarm.

I tried to return his call without any luck. I really do hope to hear from him again. I'd like to have his phone bill ran up over all the time I plan to take in talking to him about this issue. What other pay back can I use this effectively...

They are trying to trick you into giving them info so they can get ahold of your money.

I got a call from a woman saying she was hired to find me, she said she couldnt and didnt know anymore information to give me. I had my daughter do a reverse look up and all that comes up is that it is a comcast landline in villa rica, ga. the number she gave to call back was the 770-783-1056 number and when my daughter called cuz she couldnt find a company name, a male answered and said "investigator tapia" I decided to google "investigaters, villa rica, ga and the number and this came up! Im so glad Im not the only one! but why are they doing this and how did they find me, i dont get it.

Received an answering machine message for my husband, from a "special investigator Tim Johnson" regarding my father in law.  The message had details such as a claim ID # and also information regarding the prior county of residence for my father in law.  When my husband called back at 770-783-1056, he said it sounded fishy, and found this website while on the phone with the guy.  The guy didn't ask for any further information when my husband said he has no contact with his father.

Received a call just after 6am from someone saying they were a special investigator. I asked what this was about and he wouldn't tell me just that someone filed a civil complaint about me and he had my maiden name only and complaint was filed in Hamilton. I said Im in CA where the hell is hamilton he couldn't tell me and said I had to call 770-783-1056 to verify if this was for me. I called number and some guy asked me to verify my ssn which I did for some stupid reason and told me he was an invesigator for an old debt and that I was being sued for some outragous amount. He told me that I violated a contract and never paid a cent. I told him that I paid it through a collection agency in 2001. He then got angry told me that I was gonna have to pay over 5000.00 and police would be at my door to serve me. I said go ahead and he hung up on me. So glad I found this website. Thank you.

This comapny has been withdrawing $200 a month for the past 5 months  for a total of $1000.  I received a call that I owed 2800 hundred to discover for a account from 1995 that is 14 years ago.  I had doubts, I have not recieved one statement or any type of correspondance from them.

Received a call from 770-783-1056 asking for my daughter.  "Investigator" Ray Keystone told me it was in reference to an "associate" of her's named Leticia Arryo.  My daughter knows no one by that name.  He gave me a "case Number' and was quite gruff.  I told him to send something by mail if his operation was for real.  During the second call I questioned him about being in NY or GA and told him I thought it was a scam.  He was very gruff and told me "I'll see you in court".  I thanked him for the threat and hung up. Be careful when you answer the phone...you never know what kind of scum is calling.

Got a call this evening from an "Investigator Elaina Jones" who was asking for my wife.  I took a message and she gave me a case number and said there was a civil case filed against my wife and she was hired to track her down. I asked what this case was regarding and she said she could not give me that information, but if I called back at 770-783-1056 and verified some information like a Social Security number she could give me more info.  HELLO!!!  I told her I, nor my wife, would be giving out any information over the phone.  she said "I need to inform you this is a very urgent matter and you or your wife should follow up this evening or in the morning."  I have been googling some information and came across this website.  I will be contacting the authorities in the morning.  Scary what people will do these days!

7707831056 is no longer in service......hmmmm...very interesting also that they would show up at your doorstep looking for you. police dont do that for debt collections, get real.

It's a scam, and all their threats are false and illegal.

Here's some information on these crooks who called you: http://budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/cmc_recovery.htm

As Bud Hibbs' report indicates, these crooks are actually in Buffalo, New York, operate under many dopey aliases (CMC Recovery, Claims America, RSI, National Service Processors, etc.) and falsely represent themselves as being physically located in Georgia. Most of the phone numbers they use have a Georgia area code and are, most likely, VoIP accounts. (With some VoIP providers, a person, regardless of their location, can place a call using just about any area code.)

There are two Georgia addresses associated with this scam. One address in Georgia -- 5295 Stone Mountain Hwy, Stone Mountain, GA 30087 -- is actually the location of a Mail Boxes, Etc. storefront. In other words, the RSI/Claims America scam's Stone Mountain "office" is just a rented private mailbox.

The other Georgia address used by this scam is:

RSI Claims Process Services
2483 Heritage Village, Suite 16-324
Snellville, GA 30278
(404) 287-0204

Unsurprisingly, "Suite 16-324" is not a suite but another rented private mailbox at The UPS Store in the Heritage Village shopping center:

The UPS Store
Heritage Village Shopping Center
2483 Heritage Village
Snellville, GA 30278
Phone:  (770) 979-7011
Fax:  (770) 979-5711
http://www.theupsstore.com/locations/locdet.asp?strCenterNum=MBE1063

(In recent weeks, the frequency of complaints posted on 800Notes about these crooks has lessened quite a bit. My guess is that the many complaints filed with federal and state authorities may be having a positive effect and that the scammers are in the process of moving their operations or incorporating another business to hide behind.)  

So don't let these scammers worry you. It's a handful of petty grifters hiding out in Buffalo, NY trying to steal your money.  Ignore their illegal threats and report their extortion attempts to the following:

1) The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for protecting the country's financial infrastructure and payment systems. Call or write your local Secret Service field office to alert them to the details of this attempted extortion. The addresses and phone numbers for the local Secret Service field offices are listed at http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml or in your phone book.

2) Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov  Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by an extortionist over the phone and give them all the details.

3) File a complaint with your local police. Most police departments will take a report over the phone.  Be sure to tell them that you're being targeted by an extortionist and give them all the details.

4) These grifters maintain rented private mailboxes in Georgia and represent themselves as calling from Georgia, so file a complaint with the Georgia Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs: http://consumer.georgia.gov/00/channel_title/0,2094,5426814_39102589,00.html

5) These crooks are operating in New York and have been associated with this address: 3835 Bailey Ave, Buffalo, NY 14226, so file a complaint with the New York New York Attorney General at http://www.oag.state.ny.us/complaints/complaints.html or 800-771-7755

6) File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.naag.org

7) File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en

If these crooks call back, promise them nothing, pay them nothing and tell them nothing other than that you know they're a scam and that you've reported them to law enforcement.

Hope this helps.

Police Officers do not make house calls for collection agencies.  If there was actually one looking for you it was about something else.  I would suggest you contact the police department and ask them what they want.

Hello,
I got a call from my daughter last evening saying a Police Officer had been to her house and was looking for me---- Why? I have no idea but left a number for me to return his call----770-783-1056. I have not returned the call yet because that number seemed odd with no connection to this area. I called 411 info. and they told me it was a Georgia number---- Then I got a bit scared---- I have a drivers license, car registration, insurance, etc.... etc....All of my mail comes to my address---- Why would this person go to my daughters Home, give a call back number with an out of town number??This is rather creepy!! Should I call just to let them know I am hip to what is going on? Also.... Someone keeps calling asking for me on my machine but the number comes up "Out of Area". I would really like to hear back from you.
                                       Thank You,
                                       Cynthia F. Russo

I have recieved multiple calls from the (770) number - and did not answer - knowing that it was a scam. I have filed complaints. Has anyone been successful at getting them to stop calling you? .. and how did you do it?

CONSUMER ALERT:  
WARNING: THIS ORGANIZATION IS A CRIMINAL SCAM!  DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR LIES, THREATS OR INTIMIDATION.

This is a criminal organization, not a law office, and they are ripping off consumers at an amazing pace. NOTHING they threaten will ever happen.

They are NOT INVESTIGATORS or LAWYERS.

They are DEBT COLLECTORS, many with Felony Convictions and Severe Drug Habits.

They are not operating out of Georgia.

They are on the run from the law and a large number of unpaid bills and judgments.

(We received this email from a former employee; we contacted the offices numerous times to verify the information prior to publication, with no one willing to discuss this matter. CMC and the related organizations did operate at one time out of Stone Mountain, GA. We have information that suggests they left GA after running up tens of thousands of dollars in defaulted judgments. The majority of the judgments resulted from civil claims by consumers who they threatened by violating both federal and state laws. They are now operating out of Buffalo, NY as a criminal debt collection office, posing as phony investigators attempting to bilk consumers out of money that they do NOT legally owe.)

The office is owned by Lamont M. Cooper, aka/Lamont Cooper, Desmond M. Cooper, (Dob: 07/16/1975 ? FBI #870930TA4 ? State ID#2033223T) Jahaan McDuffie and Donte Lee. All three are convicted felons and ex/current Drug dealers. They teach their employees to lie to the debtors to get paid on debts that are out of statute. They purchase debt with their drug money and add hundreds to thousands of dollars to the debt and have the debtor believe they are entitled to an out of court settlement.

Their caller id shows Atlanta, GA, they are using ?Phone Spoof? to fool the debtors. ALL CALLS GET ROUTED TO THE BUFFALO ADDRESS. There is no attorney office of Murray, Bradshaw and Associates. This agency is a complete farce. They gross at least $250,000 per month and its pure profit...everyone in the agency is related somehow so that the scam/scheme and play on.
Warn anyone contacted by them NOT to pay and NEVER give them any information on your bank or credit cards, they will steal your money!

they called DEC 6 with an affadavit #. I called back to tell them they had a wrong #. I got in an argument with the guy. I tried to call back this morning and it said the number was disconnected. I traced the call to villa rica Georgia, but haven't gotten any further.

Said they were with National Service Processors. If they did not hear from my son by close of business that day, a warrent would be issued for his arresst. Had a docket number.  What they did not realize is the docket number they gave does not corresspond with our state docket numbers. Left the call back number 1.770.783.1056.  However, when my husband called the number and hung up when they answered, the number they then called from was: 1.770.755.1678 a totally different number.

I had read the info 1.770.881.7088,  which is the number they used last spring.  It listed this business name as part of the ones used: National Service Processors.
