This company did not contact me, however they made contact with my husbands ex-wife who in turned called me stating that this company was trying to serve legal papers to me.  When I did talk to someone at this company they told me that if I did not give them 1,061.48 that I would be taken to court.  I talked to "Mark" who got on a three way call with me and my bank.  After that conversation, it was determined that I did not owe any money.  I had to contact an attorney who demanded documentation stating where I owed them money and how interest and penalties were calculated.  They could never provide me with documentation.  For those having to deal with this "so-called" business in the future, demand that they give you documentation in writing on how much you owe them, plus penalties and interest that have been accessed.  To this date, they only said that a "bona fide error was made."  However if I had not investigated, they would still be harassing me and trying to extort a large sum of money using scare tactics.

I recieved a call from a mr mark k weinburg stateing that I was being sued for a closed back acct and I would be facing fraudulant check charges from the state of PA, now at first it sounded on the level until he wanted a credit card number for a settle amount of 1,200.00 I explained that I would need to consult a lawyer and call him back, he called me back with the negitive decision statement. I know for a fact that I don't owe that to any bank in any state.

I returned their call and someone named Frank Shapiro answered & his first question was "Are you a lawyer". When he found out I was not, he put me on hold & stated that he was going to get the abstract for my case. He started questioning bank acct info and dates of a payday loan & stated that they investigated and confirmed all info & also mentioned that I will be sued w/civil case & criminal case but I could settle for wage garnishment including attorney fees, etc. I did not answer his questions but I did ask a few times which company he was representing? He finally told me at the end of the conversation which company he was working for. He then said "Is this the 1st time you hearing about this case? Did you know how serious this case has become?" I never received anything in the mail so of course, I was not aware until he left a message at my place of employment. I advised him that I needed to look into this matter and will keep in touch w.him!  WHAT TO DO?

You couldn't have investigated very hard .....that is the location of J&P Construction. Nice try shill .....

SORRY MADE A MISTAKE I SAID DO PAY THEM,WHAT I MEANT TO SAY IF THERE NOT LICENSE TO COLLECT MONIES  DO NOT PAY THEM..SORRY.

informed...lets put this in perspective...if you read nice try post and my post the language is completely different,,nice try is well educated,me(aaa) im not educated never finished school,,but i am educated on low life sleazy debt collectors and fake law firms like the one you work for..
marc weinburg does not show up on the BBB also when you google his name and address which was posted in mt.laurel nj does not show up.i do get a law firm at mt.laurel nj but its not you..i do get law firms under this name but there in Chicago and some other state but not nj or ny.
you say call and find out what this is all about,why would i call a low life sleazy company who lies and i bet you don't even have a license top collect monies.
PEOPLE if they don't have a license in your state to collect monies DO PAY THEM

WHO does this company represent? Payday loans? I want to return their call but these bill collector's can be VERY rude and makes you just want to hang up on them!!

Guys lets put this in perspective. These complaints are by one person posing as different people. The person went under "NICE TRY". THEN SHE USED ANONYMOUS AND AAA. This is coming from a debt collector herself. She indicated that in the blog. She never even contacted the firm. She called the firm on a SUNDAY. What date is her blog, ladies and gents? SUNDAY 5/29!!!!!!!! AS IF ANYONE WOULD BE THERE ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!!!! SHE NEVER PHYSICALLY SPOKE WITH ANYONE. Prior to her blog on May 29TH, you can see that there were 6 blogs in total. What a coincidence, that is been more than  DOUBLED IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. My theory is at least call. Find out directly what they're calling you for. GET IT IN WRITING. And make an informed decision. But dont base it off the small amount of people who dont believe in doing the right thing. Remember these are debtors, people who owe money. If you google any collection company, agency or firm....you will find these kind of blogs. They dont show you the 1,000s of people that have restored themselves financially. Dont trust anyones judgement but your own!!!!!!!!

mark weinberg is callig mke at work to collect debts is this guy a scam

got a call at work from this guy mark weinberg saying i will be sev from a shef is this guy working as a scam to colect from peoples wallets???

I got the same call and it was not even close to a scam. I fully investigated the matter before I paid the fees. The name of the company is PRS and Associates. They are located at 309 Fellowship Road East Gate Center, Suite 200 Mt. Laurel, New Jersey 08054. I wish it was a scam. Look it up before you pay and you will find out they are real.

This may be an extortion scam. Scammers use bought/hacked loan application data to extort payments for fictitious debts from victims and victims' families and friends.
The FBI warns about payday loan extortion scams here http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/paydayloanscam_120710
The BBB has issued several alerts on this scam, just google "bbb.org alert phony debt collector"
Report to the Internet Crime Complaint Center http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG, as appropriate.

You are a scammer shill. A debtor who's been sued and had wages garnished would likely never come on 800notes to attack other debtors to pay their debts. What would be the point?

This is a version of the  extortion scam (other versions exist). This "company" is a scammer who wants to scare you into paying money to it. There are many clues that it is a scammer but too long to elaborate here. Don't pay them. Beware shills are posting on this page.

sylvia...you sound like your pissed off because NICE TRY gave us some good important info against your sleazy low life company..i did not find mark weinberg in mt laurel nj,also on the BBB they only show a mark weinberg as a real estate planner...i guess your bogus i think you need a man to take care of your frustrations

NICE TRY IS BOGUS. THE FIRM IS IN NJ. MT LAUREL TO BE EXACT. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU BLOG ABOUT A  COMPANY. THAT YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT. I GOT SERVED!!!  MY HEAD SUPERVISOR INFORMED ME THAT SOMEONE CALLED FROM THIS NUMBER. AND EVEN HAD GOT IN CONTACT WITH HUMAN RESOURCES. THE COURT GRANTED THEM JUDGEMENT AND MY WAGES ARE BEING GARNISHED!!!! ITS ASHAME THAT PEOPLE WILL DIVERT ATTENTION TO AVOID THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE. RIDICOLOUS!!!!

My co-woker received a message for me from this # but the # that appeared on caller ID was 213-271-9624. The lady left a message w/my co-worker giving her all kinds of private information for her to pass along to me. She also stated that I needed to call her back before a specific date or else someone would come to my residence or place of employment and she left a case/ref # w/my co-woker as well. Does anyone know who exactly this company represents??

WE ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT MARK WEINBERG, THE ONE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS A DOCTOR FACING CHARGES FOR MAL PRACTICE....

I CAN IMAGEN YOU PROBABLY WORK FOR THE PLACE THAT KEEPS CALLING US AND YOUR POSTING BOGUS MSG LIKE THIS ONE THINKING IT WILL TRICK PEOPLE INTO GIVING YOU THERE ACCOUNT INFORMATION. WELL GOOD LUCK IF IT WORKS......BUT IF PEOPLE LIKE ME KEEP POSTING MSG YOU WONT HAVE TIME TO SAY ANY THING.......SCAM...SCAM.....SCAM!

I got a call from a woman named Ms. Cline claiming to be a rep from the OFFICE of Mark Weinberg and that her office has been retained pending a legal matter involving me. That they have sent me a notice via mail with no ave ell. That I needed to call her back or a decision will be made regarding civil case number 2011vc*****-ks. Then she proceeded to state on my voice mail that once a decision has been rendered it can not be reversed.
1.She never said "The Law Offices of Mark Weinberg" So I looked him up. There are about 5 Mark Weinberg's that are Lawyers, but none of them are legal to practice law in the state I live in.  
2.Her choice of wording "pending a legal matter" was a bad choice ....look up the definition of the word pending...it means waiting; or Has not Happen yet. So if its pending civil matter then how do you have a case number. You are only assigned a CASE number when a CASE has been filed with either a COURT or a LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. If that has been done then you will receive a summons from the district court by certified delivery or you'll be served by a state sheriff.
3.They claim to have sent me a notice: All Legal mail must be either sent CERTIFIED DELIVERY OR SERVED BY PREPROCESSOR OR SHERIFF.
4.she said I need to call her back....but the number 1.800.304.0974 is always busy!
5.any and all CASE #'s will not begin with the whole number of the year it was filed only the last two digits of the year the case was filed...I.E. 09,10,11...ect
6. then she thinks its going to scare to say on my voice mail "once a decision has been rendered it can not be reversed". That is considered a threat, and is against the law per FDCPA. Further more any decision that goes before a court or a judge has the ability to be reversed. THATS WHAT APPLET COURTS ARE FOR.
So if by chance Ms. Cline or any one at 1.800.304.0974 ext 104 if you are reading this, you may want to change your COLLECTION AGENCY PITCH because you called the wrong CHICK today baby!
I'm a "Claims Enforcement Coordinator" FOR IMPERIAL PARTNERS and PLEASE EVERYONE LISTON I do collection for a living and this place is a scam from Canada and over seas. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CHECKING ACCT INFO OR MAKE ANY VERBAL AGREEMENT ON THE PHONE . ASK THEM FOR THERE MAILING ADDRESS IF THEY REFUSE TO GIVE IT TO YOU THEN THATS PROOF THEY ARE A SCAM. EVEN IF THEY DO GIVE YOU AN ADDRESS TAKE THE TIME TO CONFIRM WITH YOUR LOCAL CIVIL COURT HOUSE IF A CLAIM HAS BEEN FILED, PROVIDE YOUR NAME AND THE CASE NUMBER THE AGENT GAVE YOU. IF THEY FIND IT THEN THEY ARE LEGIT AND YOU BETTER CALL THEM BACK TO SET UP A PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT! IF NOT NEXT CALL ADVISE THEM TO SERVE YOU PAPERS THUR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND LET THEM KNOW YOU CALLED THE CIVIL COURT HOUSE AND UPDATED YOUR ADDRESS ON FILE SO IF THEY WANT YOUR ADDRESS THEY CAN CALL THE COURTS. No one will ever show up, nothing will happen it is just a very poorly miss directed collection agency that has bought your bad bill with whom ever, and they have every right to call you and try to collect on it, but since they are not in the US they do not have to follow FDCPA Laws and they have different banking Laws as well you may only agree to pay $100 and they will hit your acct for $500 if that amount is not there $300 $250....they can keep trying till the amount you do have is sucked dry, and those of you with the Pre Paid Debit and Credit Cards are not safe either, and doing a stop payment won't work either they will just run the debit under another name because now they have your account info.

Just got a call like the ones above. Not sure if it's true or not, anyone have any suggestions?

What is my recourse. I did get served last week. The good thing was it was done at my home. Thank GOD!!!. I NEVER IMAGINED IT WOULD GET THIS SERIOUS!!

I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ATTEMPT BY CREDITORS TO COLLECT A DEBT, OR MAYBE SOME SCAM, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A STEVE SHEPERO THE CALL WAS BLOCKED AND HE LEFT THIS # WITH AN EXT 104, AND STATED A FAKE DOCKET NUMBER IN WHICH HE LEFT ON MY VM AND STATED A DIFFERENT DOCKET NUMBER TO A RELATIVE OF MINE. SUCH A LAME ATTEMPT, I HOPE SOMEONE FILES A LAWSUIT AGAINST THIS JERK!

I thought it was bs. i got a call from attorney mark weinberg. He advised me of being sued and that id be served. he knew all of my information(even my dl#). And in the back of my mind, I knew i was wrong. I blew him off and made promises to call him but never did. Next thing you know on friday, i got served by the damn sheriff. so freaking embrarassing!!!! THEY CAME RIGHT ON MY JOB PREMISES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now my employer is considering letting me go. Is there anything i can do?

Yes i also got a call, guys. I called and spoke with attorney mark weinberg, it was actually about a medical malpractice case. He's provided me with some great help in regards to my case. He and his staff were nice during my consultation.

Similar message to Susan. A woman left a message saying she was with Mark Wineberg's office and gave me this number with ext. 104.  the message was the same as Susan, but a different state.  Also the persons they are looking for are not at our number. Apparently they are trying to collect some debt.

Call was blocked and a guy left a message said his name was Donald Caplin with Mark Wineberg's office and gave me this number with Ext. 105..Said he wanted to let me know about something the state of Virginia was about to do to me and that he did not want me to be blind sided and to call him back.
