They called me.

Cannot find a location or information regarding a call I received from this number.

Got a similar 'civil suite' call yesterday from a Deon Jackson. He claimed to be representing some collection agency and that i had bounced a $420.00 check 11 years ago, and that it has accumilated interest up to $3,000.00. He had me going for a second, until he ask me if i would be willing to settle out of court for $700.00, and asked for my bank account and routing numbers, then i hung up on him!

Beware, it's a scam!

I believe I am being targeted by an extortionist over the phone.  I received a message on my home answering machine from a man who did not identify himself but said only that I am pursuant to a civil complaint, and he gave me a case number and a number to call back.  Upon speaking to an attorney I was told that if I was pursuant to a civil claim I would receive documentation in the mail. I also looked up the number online and read a lot of information about how this is a huge scam and these people are simply extortionists.  I was advised to report this incident.  The number I was given to call them back is 770-783-1789.

A guy called today with the standard "Civil Suit" talk regarding an old debt of 33.00 or so I had with a phone company--from 2003.  I had moved and recieved no mail regarding this debt, so I had forgotten about it.  The guy put me through to a "Casey Armani" to threatened to prosecute me and charge me for all attorney fees to to the tune of around $5,000.  He offered to settle for pre-legal costs of about 1000.  He then offered to settle a few more times until I was about to give him about $200.00  I decided to look them up before I gave him my info, and he told me the following "You F*#!ed up.  Man up and pay your bills!"  So I looked them up and filed a case review file at an abusive debt collector/fraudulent debt collector law firm.  I then told them they would be contacted my my attorney.

It's a scam, and all their threats are false and illegal. (It's also very illegal to impersonate a prosecutor or law enforcement officer.)

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

(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://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01

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.

what kind of scam is this?? I recieved a call from them as well

Phone #770-783-1789 is a VOIP number to Buffalo, NY. Tobias 'TURK' Boyland, convicted felon, drug user and his cronies using another name to scam money for a drug buy. From their Bailey ve location they set up these phony numbers so they can threaten criminal actions against scared debtors. They will tell you they are attorneys and the law, they really are drug addicts looking to score.

My sister in law actually received this call. It turns out that we have the same name. Her married name is actually my maiden name which I haven't had in 10 years!!!! The message was for a civil complaint. Received a similiar call a while ago on my cell. Turns out it was a scam.
