I got such a creepy call from this number that I had to look it up. I'm not surprised to see that others did the same. My answering machine picked up the call and the guy was warning me that this was their second message and they had an urgent message for me for a guy named Russel Brousseau. I never even heard of this guy. But they kept repeating my name over and over again. The creepy thing is that it's a new home number that only my mother and mother in law know. I felt like Dog the bounty hunter hunted me down or something. I'm so creeped out!!

I received a call from #801-266-1717, Cameron Lott, of Thomas, Thomas, Witcherman and Associates LLC called me with a frightening message for my former husband's daughter. He knew my name and address, and all about me, and was very persistent that he must speak to my former daughter-in-law immediately, or have her call back before nightfall, regarding a situation involving her directly that she is completely unaware of what she is involved in, case file #147789-VA. He gave a call-back #855-600-1017. Again, he stated that he must speak with her tonight, as if her life was in danger. I have not seen her for over ten years and did not have any way to contact her. I researched the phone numbers, and found that TTW is a collection agency posing as lawyers:

TTW & Associates
(801) 266-1717
5250 Commerce Dr Ste 160
Salt Lake City, UT 84107

I called my local Sherriff's Dept and played the message for them. The Deputy stated that this is just another way that a collection agency can force someone to pay a bill, even if it is not owed by that person.  Many in my area have received similar calls. SCAM ALERT!! Do not call them back, they will try to force you to pay an erroneous bill.

Got a call on my cell asking for my son, then said it was an "incident".   the guy acted like he was out of breath, like he was fearful for me.    He eventually said I didn't seem like the type of person that would take out a debt and only make one payment.   5 years ago.....then he said he had mailed me letters.   I said "where" and he gave an address in a state I never lived in.

I hope he never calls again, for his sake.

These jerks are looking for one of my daughters for some old collection, I assume.  I found out yesterday that these guys also called one of her uncles that has the same name, who was so concerned he drove over to our house to make sure we were all right.  To top it off, they called a different daughter's in-laws, who live 1700 miles away, with this dire message.  They should be in jail.

I am so happy I googled this number before I freaked out.  The guy that left me a message at work looking for my sister was Josh Cook.  This is dept collecting at a whole new level.  He was very convincing by posing as a lawyer claiming his investigators gave them my number.  They are looking for my sister about a "matter that she is not aware of and that there is conflicting information that she needs to clarify".   Nice try guys!!

This company is a joke. These people called my mom first to get my number.  So I called to see what it is all about, and they seemed extremely nice and helpful.  But as soon as I refused to give them my debit card over the phone, they turned into the worst, most unhelpful, money hungry, non cooperative people I have ever dealt with.  They refused to just send me the info about the charge and they couldn't understand why I needed it.  Even my bank said that if it was a collection default, a collection agency would contact me.  But these people pose as lawyers.  Don't fall for this.  Stand firm and demand all legal documents.  By law, they have to do so.

They keep calling me but wont leave a message, and they say they are a law office and they are not one

I got a call today at 1:25 p.m. from a Joseph Decker. He says his investigator came up with my name, looking for someone. Could I give them the location of that person. Me being a former P.I. I told him why don't you call the Sheriff's department in that said state of that county.?  Trust me they can find anyone they want. Now I will come out of Retirement to deal with this issue. Do these guy's know some of us have tape recorders? I don't know all the details yet, but will be working on it.

got the call looking for someone with the same last name. blocked my number, called them and simply asked for the mailing address. the guy kept asking what i was sending as it would go to a different address depending on what it was, and i told him that they were in Murray Utah and i only needed the street mailing address and it was non of his business what i was sending--he said "oh-well you don't have to be rude" and i replied, I wasn't that I was attempting to get a mailing address and nothing else. he kept asking for my name and i told him that he didn't need it to give me the mailing address which by law he has to provide. he freaked and told me the address so quickly--but i caught almost all of it except the suite #---that i had to ask for the suite and the zip code which he repeated. i told him thank you and have a good day and hung up!

the address is:

Thomas, Thomas and Wicherman & Assoc, LLC (not sure of the Wicherman spelling)
5250 South Commerce Dr, Suite 160
Salt Lake City, Utah (can also use Murray Utah, mail goes thru SLC)
84107

the guy calling and leaving the message on our phone was Cameron Lott. he gave a case#141848 which i assume would be there client's account number, whoever that would be, as it was not named.
By law they disclose that information but if you call and give them the case number or your phone number, it restarts the SOL and they can continue to bug you until it runs out again. even if you are calling saying that they are calling the wrong person, it still starts it over as they are "reveiwing it" and that gives them the ok to continue to bug people via phone, wrong number or not. at least in their minds,whether legal or not.
i am reporting this to FTC and my state's Attorney General. just because we have the same last name, doesn't mean that we owe someone else's bills. we are not necessarily related or knowledgable of the whereabouts of this person. they apparently are calling all people connected at anytime with our name and address including, most of which have not been around for 10 years or more,which makes me think this is a collection agency that is using illegal tactics to try to collect on accounts out of the SOL for many years and that they paid pennies on the dollar for to try to scare people into paying whether they owe it or not. They have to prove the original debt.
CID was 801-266-1717
CB# 877-366-1717

Got two calls today...while I was on the other line.  Glad I ignored the beeps and missed them.

I would hate to think the best job I could get would be a debt collector. I would kill myself first.

"Please don't tell my mother I am a debt collector. She thinks I am a piano player in a whorehouse."

Sounds like a great bumper sticker to me.

calls cell phone

These people are calling all my family members, some that I have never lived with, who don't even have the same last name as me, telling them that they are looking for me because they need to serve papers the next day. They give a case # to them and tell them to tell me to call immediately before the end of business day. But I have not received anything in the mail about owing anything to creditors nor have they called my phone, and if they have they don't leave messages for me. I don't understand how they can call family members and scare them acting like I did something wrong and they need to serve papers to me. Doesn't the sheriff serve papers, not an attorney? They are freaking my family out!

I received a call from this company telling me that their research shows that I may be related to who they are looking for and they have a very important message to get to him regarding something that he probably has no idea is going on........  long story short, we used to have the same address many years ago and are grasping in their collections efforts.

Today received a call from Amanda Jordan on my voicemail stating that it was very urgent that I call her back in a couple hrs. That it was regarding a family member, she needs any information that I could give also with a sigh of urgent emergency. Like maybe someone was dead or something. She call my in-laws and my husbands ex-wife that we havent seen or talked to you in years, got everyone scard and cuious WONDERING what the hell my husband has done. Thats when I DECIDED TO GET ONLINE AND CHECK IT OUT... CRAZY PEOPLE. What the hell is wrong with these people.

I received a telephone call of which I also got a voicemail asking me to verify some information regarding a third party. When I called the number back to obtain more information, I spoke to a woman by the name of McKenzie who simply stated that the company was a private company regarding a civil matter but refused to let me know what type of industry they served--accounting, law firms, doctors, debt collectors, etc. Furthermore, I declined to confirm or very any information over the telephone with them.

I have reason to believe this may be an attempt to collect information regarding a third party in an illegal manner in order to commit fraud. There are multiple individuals who have reported the same type of telephone call coming from this number asking for the same type of information.

this company called my dad and his wife, asking about my mom, parents are divorced, and they KNOW my name.. how in the hell can these companies know about stuff like this?? me and my mom live in san antonio.. my dad and his wife lives in fort worth.. wanna go and knock them people silly for stirring up problems!

received a call on 10/04/10.  Caller said she was looking for a "Sarah" who'd left my number as a reference, and that 'Sarah' had referenced the number owner as 'Marilyn'.  Since I'm male, and don't know a Sarah or a Marilyn, I knew the call wasn't for me.   Asked what the call was about and the caller declined to give any details.   Called the number back the next day and received similar vague info from receptionist @ Thomas, Thomas & Wichterman & Assoc.

I received 3 voicemails from these idiots looking for my husbands little sister.  I'm thinking something happend to her since they are calling as lawyers.  The funniest thing is I don't even know my house # but somehow they found me.  I just got the message from 5 months ago.  I guess they gave up since I wasn't returning there calls.

Got a call from this company asking for me (couldn't even say my name right) about a possible family member.  When I asked who - they gave me by husband's name, I would not confirm either way, but the guy (Aaron Wilding) was trying to come across as an attorney.  I ask what this was in regards to and he accused me of interrupting him (rather rudely) so I hung up.

I also just received a voicemail from these people just like everyone else on this posting did and am glad that I did the research before I actually handled business with this company. How come they dont shut these dumbasses down? Theres a lot of people getting scammed.

I received a call looking for someone other than myself and they made is sound as if it is an emergency and I needed to contact them and the person they are calling about, they gave me the name and age of the person they are looking for but never said a word about them being a collection agent, left it that there is a very serious matter. I am a collector and the practices used by this group are highly suspect and I do have the message left on my phone which will be turned over to an agent that deals with the fair collections practices act who happens to be a lawyer. If I were this agent calling people I would be on the lookout for suits to be filed against them for breaking the fair collections practice act. Laws are made for the consumer not the vendor.

i got an urgent call from a girl i dated 7 years ago that these idiots somehow linked to me... she told me that i was in serious trouble and that i needed to call these people back.  i called them back, only to find out it pertained to a $500 debt that i had during college 5 years ago... i set up a payment plan with them and told them to email me the terms of the agreement... i just found out they even called my ex girlfriend's parents, and her current boyfriend... needless to say, they won't get a dime from me now. also, they left my name on these peoples' machines along with my age, and a message stating i was in serious legal trouble. now my friends and family think i'm wanted for murder... ha

I received a voice mail saying they were looking for someone to verify a person who was trying to use my address and it was imperative that we call them back.
I immediately looked up the number first and after reading the above posts realized it was a fishing expedition of some kind.  Will not call back but will block their number.

They sound like scam artists because they ARE scam artists

Received a distressing call looking for my daughter or anyone from my family who could give out information on someone who they described as an "individual known to her" who is in serious trouble and they appeared to need our help to get this "unknown person" out of trouble and asked that we call them back right away at their number. Usually if its a debt collector, they'll announce themselves. They even sound like scam artists on the phone.

Got the same calls from the same guy Mr. Lang.  He's called my parents and my ex-husband trying to scare them to death.  So stupid, you can tell he is reading from a piece of paper, even down to the pathetic "sigh" in the middle of the message.  I actually AM an attorney and know my rights very well.  It is illegal to call without identifying the debt and who is owed money or that the call is for the purpose of collecting a debt.  They MUST provide you with a copy of the original debt that is owed or else they cannot come after you.  Also, if you notify them in writing, it is illegal (punishable by an ACTUAL Federal offense) if they call you again after asking them to stop in writing.  Jerks, I wrote a letter tearing them up with the law and telling them how pathetic they sounded reading that stupid paragraph over and over on my voicemail.  Know your rights and empower yourself.

Returned call and they wouldn't put me through to person who called me without a case number.  I told them not to call me again.  They are a collection agency who wants info on a tenant in one of my rental properties.  They have no right asking me about a tenant of mine.

This is an collection agency posing as lawyers. They never sent me anything in the mail or called me but somehow got my parents cell nubers and they are not in the same home. I haven't lived with either parents in years. They called both parents telling them they needed to get in contact with me regarding a "federal offense" that I am facing. I called back and was given nonsense about this federal offense on  credit card. I do owe the credit card but for half of the money that he was asking for. He also tried to make pay on the phone because they were about to take "action" against me. He was also talking to me as if he was a salespaerson. I eventually hung up on the guy. They as lawyers using scare tactics to get you to pay. I was also told that they used investigators to find me through my parents.

this guy keeps calling my mother and we don't even know who he is. His name is Richard Lang from Thomas Thomas Wichterman & Associates.Please stop these calls
