They are calling my parents (how they got their number I don't know) and telling them that they are going to arrest me.  They are very nasty to them even after they say they don't know anything about the account.  Need to get attorney general's offices to shut them down.

Just received a  call from LRG at 909+474-2500, the number comes in from California, however, they leave a message telling you to call 800-374-6151 and reference #801987.  The call is a scam, do not return their calls and do not divulge any information.  Report them.  They are probably the same Jamaica scammers that have been ripping people off for years!

Having the same experience with LRG.  Calling my niece in the Pacific Islands to the level of harrassment.  Never call me.  Causes me no end of embarrassment.  Never heard of this company.  They ask for a return call to:  8003746151.  Say there are two bounced checks outstanding with them.  I've never heard of them.  What?

I received another message from LRG telling me to call back to 18003746151.  Told me to call back and gave me a case number.  Again inferred that the call back was not voluntary.  To see more on LRG, google search the numbers listed below and you'll find more forums describing the scams from these people.

Looks like this guy's got a couple of new phone numbers besides 8324124930.  A guy calling himself David Levine from the LRG Compliance Division called and left me a message saying I was listed as an emergency contact for someone (I wasn't sure if I was acquianted with the person or not, which set off the alarm bells), and said that the person had failed to respond to some "mandatory notifications."  Thanks in part to this forum, I reported the guy to the FTC.  The new phone numbers are:  469-941-0387 (number the call actually came from), and 469-941-0386 (number the message told me to call back).

My husband got the call from a number (909-474-2500) that was automated and left an intimidating message. LRG is a scam and is listed with the Texas State Attorney General's office as questionable. Don't bother calling their 800 number,it's tied to a trunk line that is only traceable to the trunk, then splits off to Maryland, according to our private investigator. We owe nothing to anyone since 2005, and we don't have a checking account. We have decided to take our case to an attorney for further review, and because it's crossing state lines, all of us here who have complained could take legal action in class action for harassment.

Please do file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..

Received threatening message- called to tell them that they had wrong number- Woman yelled and screamed at me and continued to threaten me about harboring a fugitive. She said that I was responsible and continued to yell. I hung up- checked web and found this site. i immediately filed complaint with Attorney General. This is so ridiculous- such a scam - its got to stop before they get some senior citizen to send them money!!!

So i keep getting these calls from the 800-374-6151 # but they call when i am not home ad harass my 10 yr old daughter and mother demanding that they give them information on a man that we don't even know. Every time I try to call back to speak with them the #'s that are all listed in previous post are disconnected. I work for a collection agency and am very aware of the FDCPA and this has SCAM written all over it. It's kind of hard to report them if i don't have valid information on them as far as a legit working # and company name, any suggestions?

Actually it is NOT simple to have them remove your number from their list.  I have asked them several times and they continue to call me.  I have now reported them to my state attorney general's office and will do the same to the FCC when the offices reopen!  I have blocked their number on my phone.  They are rude, threatening, and close-mouthed when it comes to information on themselves.  Clearly a SCAM.  DO NOT give them any personal information or send them any money!!  I have no outstanding debt whatsoever, and have never taken a pay day loan in my life.  I would like to see them all hang.

These people have been calling me since august of 2013 daily leaving messages. When I finally called them back to see what they wanted, they were rude and told me I had two hours to pay a debt dating back to 2009. If I couldn't come up with the money they were going to put a warrant out for my arrest. They are harassing me and by the looks of all the other posts about this company. They are doing the same thing to a lot of other people too. My advice, don't respond to their calls. I believe They have to send it to the DA's office to file charges and have a warrant issued anyways. This company is a scam!!!! Don't believe their threats!!!

Just call them and tell them to take your number off there list... It was simple

The people that work for this company have no integrity! I called as a courtesy to have the wrong number removed and this crazy woman said I was going to jail! I have just called the local police department and will head on over to the BBB. I will also share the phone number on FB so they can see how hard it is to conduct business when someone is jamming up your phone line! I understand doing collections however I hope the business owners know that their employees are a direct reflection of them!

They are telling me I have 2 felonys in the state of New Mexico said, I was going to jail for 120 days  scared

This number has keept calling my dughter's phone number wanting me. She gave the number to me. When I called They were ready to arrest me and throw me in jail about a Pay Day Loan I received in 2010 that was wire transferred into the Klamath First Bank in Klamath Falls, OR. I never have lived outside of Tillamook, OR since 1955. I hung up on the crazy Idiot.

Received a message.  Didn't call after reading other posts.  Actually for someone who has a similar name, but I believe might have also claimed bankruptcy.  I think it's a scam

They also use the number of 832-412-4931 from Michael Goldstein

I managed to locate this information referring this number:

I also have gotten two calls (no message). I have no idea why they are calling me as I am positive I have no outstanding checks and never had a payday loan. Bottom line however is that whenever these so-called pricks call you, remind them that you have just recorded their threats and they are now in violations of the Fair Debt Collections Protection Act. You will be forwarding the matter to your Attorney generals office along with your attorney for settlement. Tell them you would be settle the matter now. Tell them need only forward a letter of satisfaction for the claim the propose against you. If they refuse- send them a letter of demand and CC to the Attorney generals office along with some lawyer you know (even if you never send to a lawyer- add it as a CC to the letter)

No they cannot put you in jail- However if you wrote them a post dated check that ultimately bounced they like to imply that because it bounced they can charge you with a felony uttering charge. Dont fall for it. In most states, (you will need to verify in your state) the law is pretty clear. Basically a post dated check would not be intent. The exception of course is if you used a closed account. That would demonstrate intent to commit fraud.

Don't worry about it, they tried me as well...they have no judicial power or say over judgments.  They are a collection agency..all it is is a credit issue...think about it, Im sure they gave you a ridiculous ultimatum like having to pay $1,000 dollars or more within a couple hours or so or they would process the warrant for your arrest right?  It is bs and of course they become irate and rude if you call their bluff and hang up on you.  Don't stress at all about it, and I would like to know how to get them in trouble for slander, because they called a handful of friends, acquaintances, and family telling them I am facing 2 serious Felony charges...and that they sent a legal packet explaining everything to my address (which of course conveniently I never received)

They are a collection agency threatening people with a credit issue, acting as if it's check fraud even though it is a credit issue and they threaten you and give you ultimatum's to pay outrageous fee's to stop from processing so called felony warrant's.  They have been calling friends and family all over the country and slandering me, I called them and they said I had to pay $1,000 for a $300 dollar loan I received 5 years ago, I told them I would wait for the court date and pay the amount owed ($300 and a reasonable amount of interest...offered $450), she became extremely irate, and told me that I was going to be arrested with no bail, no sentence hearing for 120 days, and pay more intense fines on top of serving a felony conviction.  I am extremely upset that they are calling all kinds of people I know and slandering me telling people I am facing felony charges and need to speak to me.  They say they sent a packet to my address explaining, but conveniently I never received.  Do not pay this place any money!!!! They have no say or pull over how the judicial system works and are scam artists...they are obviously a collection agency using over the top scare tactics to pay outrageous fees.  Extremely unprofessional and all you have to do is realize how ridiculous everything they try to scare you with is.

yes they will put you in Moon Jail!! will start building sometime near the future!! kakakaka. Worryless

My client got a threatening call from this number.  Told her a check had bounced, she had a "federal warrant" and they were going to arrest her. My client called the bank and there was no check that had bounced. They were lying.  I called them - they were very hostile, would not tell who they were and what company this is.  
This is a total scam.  And I did report it to the state AG consumer fraud division.  If you get a call from these "people" you should call your state attorney general and report it.  
PS They might be getting their information from public record bankruptcy court files.

I got the same call a few days back and did NOT call them @ 1 800 374 6151 back- It is a scam!!!

KEEP GETTING CALLS FROM 909-474-2500 STATING THEY ARE LRG AND THEY HAVE A RETURN ITEM FROM MY BANK AND FOR ME OR NY COUNSEL TO CALL THEM BACK @1-800-374-6151 THREATENING ME THAT THIS IS SERIOUS AND NOT A SOLICITAION. THIS IS NOTHING BUT A SCAM IF I HAD A RETURN ITEM FROM MY BACK MY BANK WOULD HAVE NOTIFIED ME. THIS IS PURE HARRASSMENT I AM NOT RESPONDING TO THIS

They CAN NOT send you to jail.
The caller was a scammer:

Several calls from this outfit leaving only "LRG" that the call was not a solicitation and that I or my counsel should give them a call. It was for a returned item from my bank. Sounds totally fraudulent. I did not call. I'm not wasting my time with it.

I also received a call from them.  I usually get calls on my cell phone and it is an automated recording regarding a returned check items.  Today they called me at work from a 281.823.9102.  I was told that the compliance officer needed to speak with my in regards to a felony charge pending against me.  I was finally transferred to a Michael Goldstein who informed me that I had a felony charge pending against me regarding check fraud. After stating that I have no idea what he was talking about and that I didn?t write checks, he told me that I would be arrested and would spend 120 days in prison.  I basically said okay, thank you?..  I cannot find any information on this company LRG
