they are a scam I went in because I was going to work for these people and they told me everything I know these peoples names real names if you would like to know them. Also not based out of Texas. They are in Jacksonville fl on cypress something (can't remember) Dr in a glass building behind dailys

I got a call from this number too, and the woman doesn't leave a real company name (as any legitimate place would). She only leaves her name "Rebecca Grant" and that she is Fraud & something division (very bad background noise making it hard to hear much of what she said).

Being suspicious, I went to Intellus to run a check on the phone number and paid for a report. First warning sign...there was no instant information. Intellus then does a more detailed search for which you are not charged if they come up with no information. I got an email today that they didn't. If this was a number attached to a legitimate company, then they would appear on a report.

My husband just recieved a call from this Morgan and Shipiero group. They  are claiming he owed a loan  company and that a warrant was gonna be issued unless he paid this outstanding debt. While on the phone my husband asked me to google this company out of Arlington Texas, and they did not want to give him the address or any info of who they were. They transferred him to at least 4 different people and they were actually arguing with him so needless to say they knew we were looking them up so the conversation ended. Happy to say NO MONEY WAS TRANSFERRED OUT OF MY HUSBANDS ACCT. THE Number THEY CALL FROM IS 972- 348- 9724 in Arlinton Texas.

SO i just received a call from a different number 234-525-3297 but same deal, threatening me with the same as others are saying. I am going to get dragged out of my place of employment, and brought before a judge where I will then have to pay additional charges. They where just calling to try and save me the embarrassed. I called the state where they claimed I had these charges filed against me, and they said My name was clear statewide. the lady who answered the phone said her name was private Grey, and that's it, wouldn't give out any other info. when I asked for documents showing what I owed and what i was paying and how they came up with the amount, she said it was states evidence and couldn't even send me a copy. BY LAW IF THEY ARE A Legitimate company they would supply that info. DON'T GET SCAMMED, i must say i did get nervous and they worked me up quite well, but i put them off after i couldn't get any info faxed or mailed over and they just continued to make threats.

can u help me, i just recived a call with the same info. is this a fraud? should i send the money? please help me.

A Ms. Montgomery from Vantage Point called and said that my son had written a bad check at an EZ Money Loan Service two years ago. She said that she was from District 12 check fraud division. She told me that if it wasn't paid in two hours it was going to an attorney and felony charges would be filed against him. She also said they were from Morgan/Shapiro lawyers and she was using a lot of legal terms to make it sound more bona fide like ?restitution? and ?exoneration?. Then I was transferred to a Kent Bishop who was rude and hung up on me when I tried to ask any questions. (bad cop) Then Ms. Montgomery called me and asked if I paid the bill. Then I was transferred to a Carly to try to pay the bill again. When we tried to run the payment throught my bank, it raised red flags and wouldn't make the payment. I talked to an "administrator" with Vantage Point, Chris Williams. Unfortunately, my bank finally ran the payment through. They charged me $880, when the original check was only for $200, I found out later from my son (who is a homeless Iraqi vet). Ms. Montgomery told me that I would be getting an exoneration packet in the mail in the next two weeks. The phone ID said it was from Arlington, Texas.  Phone numbers--817-962-6815 and 855-760-8955

My grandmother got a call from someone named "Katie Scott" claiming that I was going to be arrested for writing a bad check. My grandma gave me their contact information and spoke with someone named Katie. She claimed that unless I paid 350+ dollars, she would forward my "information" to a district attorney that would sue for two felony charges.

After reading these other tales of fraud, I feel relieved.

This is a scam I just got a call from here and I was scared. I am glad I did my research and I didn't pay them crap.

Gotta a call from 4199132327said her name was Lynn shiparo but she sounded like Tammy Alexander, then a call from Stacey Wilcox who also sounded like her.....then a lady from 9723489724 named Brooke in which Tammy was using that number the very first time...i just don't get it!!!!!!

I to was just call from this number and a different number stating the same thing,and said they wanted to work with me,and said they could stop the warrant....but i had to pay 975.50 to do so...and this scared the living daylights out of me....They stated they was from advance america,so finally i told them my uncle was a lawyer and they could gladly have his number...and they hung up on me.

I recieved a call from a "David Dunbar" at 817-962-6815 saying I owed $795 for a payday loan that I was already convicted for and done time for. When I told him I did my time and the judge said I owed no restitution he said "the legal system is jacked up and I should've read the fine print on my loan paperwork". And then said why would he waste his time trying to scam me for something less than $1000. I'm on parole so when he threatened me with a warrant I started calling trying to put the money together. My grandpa said it sounded funny and said call back and get an address and company name. I googled it and found this blog. Thank yall he almost got me. F*#@ them and David Dunbar. Dont give em sh#t. Thank you Google...

I Also got a call from a Chase Johnson saying I wrote a bad check to Advance America back in 2008 and was told that there is a warrant for my arrest and I would have to pay over $900 to get it resolved, He kept saying they wanted to work with me and he would have the arrest warrant stopped if  Paid.

I received a call from a Chase Johnson at this number (817) 962-6815.  He advised I'd written a bad check drawn on a Publix credit union bank account.  He wouldn't tell me the amount of the check nor who the check was written to.  He won't provide me a copy of the check.  He was very rude & told me I'd be arrested & the warrant for my arrest had already been issued.  When the phone goes unanswered, my calls are directed to a voicemail box for Jacob Graham.  He also told me I'd lose my CDL & my job.  He won't provide the name of his company.

I get a call from this number from a guy name Chase Johnson who claim I wrote a bad check but wouldn't tell me when or where but when I asked he stated I was been rude Hung up in my face and when I called back they wouldn't answer so I called from a different number and they answer but when I told them it was me again they put me on hold matter fact I'm still on hold as we speak.

just received the same message but from a OHIO phone number. Funny that Tammy Alexander and Tori Dixon both operate out of OHIO but also have phony numbers in ATLANTA? They said if we didnt pay by 9am next morning they will have me arrested within 24hrs. Funny that I just set up a payment plan about that account involved. Dont fall for this, its a scam

Here's the thing....these Thomas Stern's and Jacob Graham's of the debt collection world are scum. They called my mother and freaked her out.  Stating that I would go to jail with all these counts of fraud and felony charges blah blah blah.  My mother called me immediatley and freaked me out.  I got in touch with the "The Law Group" and spoke with Patricia Harris.  She stated I would be in jail if I didn't pay in 24 hours.  There would be a warrant out for my arrest.  I asked for something in writing and have it sent to my email.  I showed the email to my Dad and he pointed out so many things that made him believe it was a scam.  The first tell was the email address.  It was a yahoo.com address...I mean a Law Group can't get a better domain/email address?  Next was the fact that "The Law Group" header was cut and paste with no physical address on it.  My Dad explained that these people use these scare tactics to get people to pay off debt.  Are they debt collectors...maybe.  Are you going to jail...definately not.  These people are scum and should be treated as such.  They buy debt off of companies for pennies on the dollar, so any amount recouped is a win.  They inflate the debt amount to increase their profits, but don't give these people any money!!!  They are scam artists in the worst possible way.  Ignore them and tell them to F$%k off!

what is the volusia county sheriffs office number i am recieving the same threatening phone calls from thomas stern saying he's in fort worth, tx at 201 main street in the wells fargo towers

Has anyone been able to get an actual address of this company. I would love to send them a nice letter but have yet to discover who they are or where they are located.

Got a call from same number, mine was a lady Tammy Alexander saying that she was from the fraud and welfare depart from law office.  I must of listened to it three times to make sure I didn't miss the name of the firm.  After reading all of the posts, i am not going to call.

same tactics from thomas stern. different number .       I hope your reading this Mr Stern because the Volusia county sheriffs office would like to talk to you.    You can call them at anytime.                                      . .

Same MO. Called my wife. She talked to Thomas Stern. Said she had 30 min to pay or jail time. No checks. Phone number was different. 234-736-3090. Other names of note are David Dunbar and Tammy Alexander.

I got a phone call from a Jacob Graham stating that I wrote a check to Advance America 4 years ago in the amount of 400.00 dollars and now I owe them 3500.00 but they are willing to accept a payment today in the amount of 1150.00 through a credit card or debit card.. I told him that I didn't have the money to pay it back and he told me that if I didn't pay it today then I was going to be issued a warrant for my arrest and I would sit in jail with a felony..so I wrote Advance America a letter stating that I would pay them back monthy payment until it was paid off, the lady told me that they sold my case to another company and gave me the number to call.. so I called them back today at 1-855-242-9670 company name Northern resolution.. I talked to Tim and he said I can make payments until the 485.00 is paid off... so then I was curious and called back the scammer Jacob Graham and he was not available so I talked to his supervisor Thomas Stern and I gave him the reference number that was giving to me at the time I spoke to Jacob Graham # 261144 and he asked me if my name was Bonnie Smith, I said no this is Carrie Garoutte and this is the number I got when I spoke with Jacob, he asked me for my phone number and said he could locate my file with this information.. he came back and said ok I found your file now how are you paying this 1150.00 today, I told him that I got a check from my boss and I could send it out to him today, he was so rude to me he kept over talking me and telling me that I have to give him my bank information with a debit card or a credit card to pay this ammount.. I told him I only have a check and he said he can't accept that and hung up on me.. so I waited 10 minutes and I called him back at the number 1-817-962-6815 I then told him that I knew that he was a scammer and that the fbi and I had him on the phone long enough to trace back the number and address to where he was calling me from.. he was so irate he kept screaming at me.. and I said HA HA your a dumb a** your all over the internet with false information and your going to be sitting in jail with a felony for trying to scam innocent people out of money.. I hope these people get cought soon because nobody deserves this in this time of recession.. Good Luck !!

Just recieved a call from MR.Grahm...told me i had 2 hrs to pay off a bill I was pretty sure I payed off 4 years ago. Told me he was working for a law firm called Meyer & Meyer , and if I didn't pay 750.00 dollars to them in 2.5 hrs I would have Felony Fraud charges . Thanks to this log...iI told him he was all over the net like a rash about being a fraud..needles to say after I told him I couldn't raise money ,especially that quickly. He hung up on me.



Caller : Legal aide for Meyer & Meyer.

They same people said the same thing to me. Tried to say I had to pay $550.00 or I would go to jail and never see my twin girls again. The woman was hateful to my wife when she asked some questions to help me and the men both men was not as rude but still did not want me to call a lawyer. If these people call you please don't give them a damn thing and call the law or better busness.

this crazy son of a bi*** just called me asking for money!!!!!luckyly my brother in law did some research on his a** and found out it was all a scam!!!!!  thomas fu@****!!!!!stern!!!!! 1,200 hundred dollards within a half hour!!!or else i got to the big house!!!! lol!!!its funny now but not when i was s****ing bricks to come up with the money.....I hope it dont happen to anyone.

yea i had the same exact thing happen to me by a guy who claimed to be a lawyer in chicago.. now im a little freaked out because my name is jacob graham and this same guy called and harrasses me saying his name was troy somethin so hopefully he isnt using my name to scare people/. but either way this is a big scam and should be highly illigal

i just received a call from a mr. graham who said i had a warrant for my arrest in florida,because i wrote a check to advance america in florida,in 2008.  He scared me half to death,so i called the warrants division.mr graham lied and he should be prosecuted.How is he getting peoples information?

Same Mr Graham, same "The Law Group" same threat of legal action to the fullest.  Called and said my wife had fraudulent check charges.  I'm afraid not.  The thing is this guy isn't a mystery this number only goes one place, and Magic Jack knows who it is and allows the calls.  So if web site can be in trouble for what someone else posts on it (ala YouTube, or Facebook) then why can't a phone carrier be in trouble for harassing calls "posted" by one of their users.  I think this would eliminate abusive calls as suing a phone company would net big $$ for a lawyer.
Anyway not calling him back and hope he stops wasting his time with my number.
