By the way, thanks for posting all the other numbers they're calling from and/or using as call-back numbers!  I'm trying to get this posted on each of those pages, as well as compile a list!

And here's MORE info about these numbers!

There are complaints about them all over the internet for harassing people that do not owe the debt, threatening to arrest people for a debt, telling people the only way they'll stop calling is to pay "court costs" on an alleged suit they filed, etc.  According to some of the MANY complaint pages and numbers they've called using, it seems they call about debts that are 5-10 years old, don't care if they were paid or not because they want money.  There are people who have fallen for this, and stated that they paid, and are STILL waiting on getting the documentation of the debt from them.  Of course, their story is that they sent it out ... yeah, right.
What's laughable is one page on their website that says they follow the law during collection attempts.  OBVIOUSLY, NOT!  THEY have an F rating with the FL BBB (see below).

By the way, it would seem to me that, IF you had a bad debt, it would show on your credit report (if still eligible to be reported).  IF you do have a bad debt on your credit report, you might want to consult an attorney and/or the original creditor, rather than these folks who obviously could care less about the law.  [I am NOT an attorney, nor do I profess to be one.  I am NOT dispensing ?legal advice,? simply giving my opinion!]

IF they were calling about a legitimate debt, they would NOT be calling to see if you'll be home all day on certain day to "deliver legal documents" or "subpeona."  A legit collector CANNOT discuss your bill with anyone else OR threaten to arrest you and/or send you to debtor's prison, etc.

Make yourself aware of the rules in the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT.--http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.shtm  
Here is more info on it from the FTC Consumer information -- http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection
It's glaringly apparent that these folks enjoy breaking most of these rules.

Hope this helps someone!

Due to the high volume of information that we receive, we are unable to reply to every submission; however, we appreciate the information that you have provided.?  
[NOTE: As far as I?m personally concerned, the behavior of these companies IS a form of domestic terrorism, although the FBI may not.]

It also occurs to me that, particularly on the GreenDot/Prepaid card ?payments,? since they are apparently difficult to trace, I seriously doubt they are reporting these funds on their income taxes === tax evasion.  (That?s the way they finally got Al Capone!)  The IRS has forms for reporting suspected evasion, and even a reward form you can complete for if you help them catch the folks!
http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/How-Do-You-Rep ... aud-Activity%3F   (I?m 99% sure it?s the Form 3949-A that you?ll want to complete if you?ve been swindled by these folks.)    It looks like Form 211 is to claim a reward!
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3949a.pdf   -- Form 3949-A
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f211.pdf  -- Reward form

   I personally don?t care WHICH branch of the government goes after these people, as long as THEY get REAL FEDERAL ARREST WARRANTS out on them!!  So, if you?ve been taken in by these folks, besides filing with the above, don?t forget the IRS!  (You KNOW they like going after money!!!)

It may not help, but it certainly wouldn?t hurt to fill the mailboxes at the White House with letters about these folks.  If the President wants to get involved with courts and everyday peoples? lives, then he needs to get involved in THIS!
http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact  -- to the right side of the page, there are links for leaving online comments, writing a letter, or calling the White House.



I'd suggest giving a list of time, date, phone number, and anyone's name you were given on these calls...EVEN if you didn't answer or it went to VM.

SUGGESTIONS (again, I am NOT an attorney and am NOT attempting to dispense legal advice.  These are my PERSONAL suggestions)
1-IF you decide to answer one of their MANY calls from about 50 different telephone numbers (no, I?m not exaggerating), give them NO INFORMATION.  In fact, YOU MAKE THEM ANSWER QUESTIONS, and if they don?t, hang up on them!   I don?t know anything about spoofing/masking numbers, but there have been comments that they are VOIP?ing the majority of the numbers they?re calling from.  I do not doubt this, as a person said the number showing on her phone was that of the local police department.
2-Keep a running log of the date, time, telephone number, person calling and note of conversation to file with your complaints.  (Or, try to record the call, BUT they usually hang up when they?re told they?re being recorded.  ROFLOL, now how many LEGITIMATE collection agencies would do that?  NONE that I?ve ever heard!
3-Look up your state?s Statute of Limitations on debts that can be pursued in court (that you can still be sued for).  It seems to vary from 3-15years.
4-DO NOT allow them to intimidate or frighten you.  These idiots have even called the numbers attorneys, police officers, etc. with this scam.  Intelligent, they are NOT.  

USUAL PLOYS:
1-call friends, neighbors, relatives, employers, and you trying to intimidate you into paying JUST to make the calls stop (but, from looking online, they don?t stop?they just demand more). ? Ask these folks to also keep a log of the calls, give them this internet page to check.  Ask them to do a search for ANY of these company names.  They?ll soon realize it that these people are nothing but SCAMMERS.
2-??have important legal documents (or summons) to deliver, will you be home ---(day) from 8:30 to 4:30 to accept it??
3-?There?s a warrant out for your arrest UNLESS you send us $xxx TODAY?  -- they seem to prefer asking for the ?Green Dot? prepaid card and want you to call back with the numbers on back ? harder to trace where to $ goes, apparently.

COMPANY NAMES:
Goodman and Stern LLC, aka GSA Recovery, aka GSA Management Orlando, FL  ? AND/OR ? EIESNBURG, WHITMAN & ASSOCIATES LLC, Rubin and Weizman, LLC.


TYPE OF CALL:
SCAM AND/OR EXTORTION BY A DISREPUTABLE LICENSED COLLECTION AGENCY

Federal investigation results in arrests, search warrants
Published On: Mar 11 2013 12:20:18 PM EDT   Updated On: Mar 01 2013 07:12:52 PM EST

I am soooooo tired of these people!!!!!!  all my family does is get harrassed by them and myself.  Give it up you jerks it is obvious that your not going to get any money from me MOVE ON.  Leave me alone u scammers. (trying to be polite).  I don't owe any money and you need to stop it cus I have already reported this number you called me on to the FBI from the Attorney Generals office in Florida

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi received your email regarding debt collection calls you are receiving from (786) 358-5269. Attorney General Bondi asked that I respond.

We appreciate you taking the time to share this information with our office. Please understand that you cannot be arrested for failing to pay a debt, and you should not let such threats scare or intimidate you into making a payment without first verifying the legitimacy of the alleged debt. We urge you to review the consumer alerts below for information about common debt collection scams, and important tips on how you may validate an alleged debt:

One common way scam artists take advantage of unsuspecting consumers is by "phishing" for personal information, such as bank account numbers, Social Security numbers, passwords, or other sensitive data. Criminals will claim to represent a legitimate corporation or government agency and even pose as attorneys and law enforcement officers. Another red flag common to many scams is a demand for an advance payment by cashier's check, wire transfer (for example, Western Union or MoneyGram) or more recently "MoneyPak" or Green Dot. Please review the links below for information about wire fraud schemes, and tips on reporting phone scams:

However, if you believe the company in question may be a LICENSED (legitimate) collection agency, please contact the Office of Financial Regulation (OFR) to alert that agency about your concerns. The OFR licenses collection agencies and administers provisions of both the Consumer and Commercial Collection Practices Acts. You may reach the OFR directly by calling (850) 487-9687. You may file an online complaint at the agency's website:

The Representative of the Company, a man called and said he wanted to serve papers on a Kevin Owens.  I explained that this is a business.  The man just hung up the phone and told me to have a "blessed day."

Hi Mike,
The same thing happened to me.  Is there anyway to make this end?

i keep getting calls from this number

I got a call also from 786-358-5269 - my family are getting calls for me as well.  I have no idea what this is about. I have never had a payday loan, nor do I owe anyone any money.  I pulled my credit report just to be safe and there is nothing listed.  This is such a pain in the neck.  I wonder if they think that they can harass you into paying them?

too funny...I just got this new cell number...guy calls and starts rambling off about serving me with papers tomorrow and what time will I be home...REALLY??? I asked who they are looking for and they said OH...we are looking for so and so...Sorry you have the wrong number...Might I add tho...if you are going to be served with papers...NO ONE...calls to find when you will be home...you just get served.  And whomever is going to serve you with papers will leave them with (if you are not home) who ever answers the door.  I know this because I have worked with the legal system in the past  These idiots are scammers...

So far have blocked 3 of their numbers through the cell phone company. will be adding this number to the list as they don't listen to any of the explanations. The name used this morning was "Al Jenkins"  Yes, it's a scam, No, don't give them ANY information. Record the call if you want to keep hearing from them but legal action doesn't seem to be effective. Calls so far have come from three different states.

The best thing I did when they asked if I was going to be home was say yes, and I will wait for the papers to be served, then thanked the guy........he was speechless. They so far have not called; I learned if you argue with them they justkeep calling. Do not feed into them, they are pieces of s**t!!!

I don't answer any call I'm not familiar the listing and if they can't leave a message then it must not be important.

Leave a message.... :)

Bring it on!

Just got the same call this morning.  I have looked them up and it is the same mess all the time bout delivering legal documents.  I blocked the first two numbers and now I will be blocking this numbers as well.  Do not give them any information.  They are some scammers for real.

I got a call from them today. No message and when you call back the phone just rings.

i keep getting calls from them also the using 7863585269,8775975675.8325823099.2765211696

I have gotten phone calls from this number and all of the othes listed. I have told them I filed bankruptcy many years ago on any payday loans etc. and i told them my lawyer said to go ahead and serve or send papers. they dont stop calling though. all hours and it is getting absolutely ridiculous. Probably going to change the number.

I have received this same call twice now and really annoyed by this.  I know that it has to be a scam of some sort as I have no legal issues.  If anyone can find out how to stop these people or who they are, please update this thread!  I'm glad I decided to Google this and find out it is happening to more people than just myself.  Today they used 786-358-5269 to call me from.  I'm grateful I'm able to tell this is some kind of scam and I tell them I'm not calling anyone, that I have no legal issues, never received any papers, and if it is true, then just resend the papers.  Then I immediately hang up on them.  
How can I report these people?  Does anyone know?  Who do I tell about this?  I looked the number up and it is saying that Metro PCS is the provider of this number, so right there I know they are using prepaid, untraceable cell phones.

They call all the time!!! Never leave a message, never pick up a return call, never identify themselves or company!!!  They talk to you about having a people deliver court papers...it never happens.  They are a scam and need to be reported to the Federal Trade Commission as many times as the call.  Record conversations you may have with them, take down times and dates of calls, and give as many details to the FTC site as you can.  I have seen 3 numbers so far, sure they are off the net as they have a Delaware, Texas, and Florida.

this caller is calling me saying they have documents to serve me but can't tell me what they are. they have been very nasty on the phone when asking the details of the paperwork.

IT'S A SCAM, do NOT give them any information. This is same scammer procedure operating under all the following:  212-204-1389, 302-394-9172, 312-614-1344, 347-783-5486, 804-554-1032, 832-582-3099, & 972-528-7419. They call wanting to deliver some court papers. I tell them you have not showed up yet. It is supposedly in regard to an old payday loan, which I do not have.  I use a call block app after telling them that I know it is a scam, so keep changing your # & keep calling me because I am recording & reporting each call & # to the FTC & FBI. I am not threatening...I am reporting them.

I've been getting phone calls from numbers I don't know. I've looked them up on line and found this site and found that the caller wants to deliver legal documents and that's it's a scam.

They never leave a message. The number of times I've seen they called, if they really had legal documents, they would have delivered them by now.

I got a call from this number this afternoon and I answered it. I was told that they're going to deliver legal documents for Hector someone and wanted to know if he'd be home tomorrow to receive them. I said, "Yeah, totally," since I knew it was a scam and would take them off of their script.

The caller then complained to me about my use of sarcasm. I told him I knew about these scammy phone calls. He said it wasn't a scam. I asked him what the legal documents were about. He told me he could only tell Hector. I asked him why he didn't just ask for Hector when I answered the phone. And I asked again what the documents were in reference to.

He again told me he could only tell Hector and asked me if I was Hector, so I said yes. Then, he told me I wasn't Hector because Hector's a man's name. I asked him what company he was with (I couldn't understand what he said) and if the company had a website. He told me he couldn't give me the website for security reasons.

The phone call went on like this for 3 1/2 minutes! I have no idea what the point of this scam is. Hopefully, I didn't accidentally give them everything they wanted. But it was kind of entertaining to hear how flustered the guy was when I called him out of stuff.

this number keeps calling they tell me they have papers to serveme but can't tell me what they are about. I said well if you are going to serve me I need to know what it is about. they got ugly with me and said i dont' have the right to know anything.

I got a call from 786-358-5269 they have changed their number from 302-394-9172 this number is a florida number and they are telling me they will be out tomorrow to delivery legal documents to me and that I need to be available to receive them. SCAM I have reported this to the local police department and the State Attorney General's Office.

Company called wanting to verify address to delivery civil papers. Told them I don't know the one they seek. I told the "representative" to remove my number. She said "Sam" listed my number as point of contact and only "Sam" can request that the number be removed.

Received phone call this morning from this #. I answered and they hung up. Called back and it just rings and rings.

This is same same scammer procedure operating under302-394-9172, 804-554-1032, 213-260-9483. They call wanting to deliver some court papers. The person is unknown to me. I finally contacted the phone company to block the first three numbers and within 2 hours they had moved to this number and called again. They want to verify that you will be home so papers can be delivered. It doesn't do any good to tell them to quit calling--they won't I've been awakened up to six times per week with their calls. I've reported to the AG of Texas. U.S. government. They will drain your bank account if you give them any information. It is supposedly in regard to an old payday loan. IT'S A SCAM.
