Consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.  Sounds like it would help anyway! :) Keep reporting these scammers..

I have had to report 5 different places to the FTC for these stupid calls.  Those people finally stopped calling and now I'm getting calls from these morons.  I have gotten two calls from local numbers and two from Florida numbers.  They leave messages to call back using this number or some 855 number.  Always the same accusations of check fraud and felony charges.  Someone is always either on their way to serve me papers or it's their final attempt and they are going to report that I am being uncooperative.  When will these subhuman slime get that I will NEVER pay them a dime no matter what they say?!

Gathered intel says National Credit Processing Inc
aliases: ADR Arbitration / Adams, Davis, & Rothstein / (and now apparently) ABRR Tracing Services

The thugs think they're pretty cute with that "ADR" part, which is an abbreviation for "alternate dispute resolution", referring to options like arbitration and mediation when you're in a court case. They're really fairly typical Buffalo Bullies using illegal extortionist methods to collect debt claims they cannot prove valid.

Never let bullies on the phone confuse extortion with debt collection. Honest debt collectors do not typically send their claims straight to a judge, and they don't take your ransom money to broker quick deals with so-called "process servers". There are no secretive "arbitrators", "mediators", or "prelitigation specialists", only sweaty criminals with a script full of bullying remarks. Lawful debt collection is a process, not an ambush, and you are due a chance at each stage to raise a dispute. The agents' horrid threats are empty and their conduct is illegal. Do not reward lawbreakers with your money. Challenge them always, sue them if you can.

It has been for 36 years. So has flatly lying to you.

Correct .... the third party disclosure (blabbing to all family members) was illegal, and so were the false litigation threats. It is also illegal to misrepresent the character and legal status of your debt. Yours was already paid, and a defaulted PDL is never "check fraud".

So, you never read the laws which govern debt collection?

Called me today and asked me to verify my ssn. I told them I wouldn't verify until I figured out who they were (as I was trying to google them) and SHE got all ugly and called me a looser and said that obviously I didn't want to pay my debt and hung up in my face....I think it's safe to say this is a scam. ADR Aribitration - Adam Davis and Rothstein.

Lady Robinson called left message with elder parent, getting her upset, Claiming that she was ADR Arbitration investigator for Bank Fraud, gave case number and exact phone number above claiming collection from NC. I have been in NJ for elder care for nearly 6 months and family land line here in NJ was the one I was contacted on . How was PARENT PHONE LAND LINE UTILIZED FOR ME???   Have been thru a similar issue of this type before moving here from another State.. State Attorney General will be contacted again. BEWARE!

I had the same exact phone call but that Rachel Phillips said she was from the district attorneys office of Robert Cohen.. she called my job n wouldn't give me her number til the end of the call.

A lady for this same company listed above saying that I owe money to some payday loan company and begin to get very hostile on the phone and I listed as I was working and then kept telling her. I only have used one loan company and it was not one that she told me about. The lady name is Lisa Wallace x 502. She also stated that papers would be sent to the county to where I live.

ADR Arbitration contacted me and told me a very similar story to the above.  They told me that they had me on felony check fraud and that I could settle with them for 511.28.  
A Mr. John Cohen, as listed above was the same person and the number of 844-235-7859 (extension 106) and a lady named Miya were who contacted me.
I DID take a out a loan at a payday company, 5+ years ago and paid all of that off and actually had "proof" of all of that and sent it to them.  Because I had taken out a payday loan years ago, I didn't know that this was a scam.  After talking with the people that assisted me in consolidating and paying my loan, they told me about the scamming that was going on.  They advised me to file a complaint against them and ignore them.  
They contacted one more time at work today and told me that they were giving me one last chance to settle up with them before sending this to the court systems.  I told them, "send it."  So, I guess she thought that I was going to just give her credit card information over the phone.  

Here' the scoop, people. This is a toll free number that a company allegedly called "ADR Arbitration" hides behind.  The lady I spoke with, "Investigator Robinson," says they have offices all over the US but the main one is out of New York.  This t**t of a woman called and left me a voicemail, when I didn't return the call she called my parents (I don't know how they got their number) who did answer and she told them they might have to testify on my behalf if I don't call them back.  I call her back and she explains to me that there is a "complaint of check fraud" against me and that she is calling to let me know about this "pending complaint." I press her for more details and she explains that a bank is filing this complaint of fraud.  What bank? "Pepper Cash" she says.  Pepper Cash is a payday loan company, not a traditional bank, so now all these threats are coming to light and it turns out that these jack***es are just a debt collection company trying to collect on an old online payday loan.

This Robinson is not a real investigator, she's a debt collector working for some alleged lawyer named John Cohen.  She went on to tell me that Pepper Cash wrote off my loan, and John bought the debt from them and now his law office is trying to collect on the debt before filing this complaint in the county in which I live. So yeah, this is literally just a debt collector using tactics to scare you into coughing up money by using words like "fraud," "bank," etc.

I told her politely that I'm not interested in working with her or the lawyer and to stop contacting me and my family. She did not like that and as she tried to squeeze in another spiel I hung up on her.

Bottom line, don't let this woman or these people intimidate you. They are literally a scumbag collection agency that hides behind temporary toll free numbers and ambiguous company names.

Ms. Kathleen just called me from the "Law Office" of Adams, Davis & Rothstein......talking like my number belonged to my daughter!  She had all kinds of threats about some legal action and a final statement....WHAT?  How stupid.....what a bunch of scammers!!  Wouldn't it be wonderful if all of the scam artists in this world would get real jobs?  

I just received a call from this number on my Job....a lady names Lisa Wallace...she stated that I had talked to some lady named Emma on last July about being served at home...with a Federal complaint attached to my name and ss#. She never gave who she represented or what company filed the complaint or what the complaint was about. She as me to contact her to verify there was no firearms or viscous animals @ the residents that would be served...and she then mentioned something about since an employee # was attached to the "account" that she was authorized to contact Human Resource department.   @ 1st I was like "What the What" and Why is she calling my job. so I thought to Google?d the # and I read the prior post so I won't worry about it cause I don?t even know what they Hell that lady is talking about and how she got my info, or Who the Hell she say I talked to last July I had a baby last July so the last thing I was thinking about was talking to anyone about a Debt I DO NOT OWE... so what ever. It should be Illegal for them to harass people.

About once a month, I have been receiving calls about a "pay day loan" that was supposedly received into an account after the account had already been closed for close to two years. I have told that to them several times and even called the bank to find out the exact date I closed the account.  I have been told that I can just handle it in court then.  Of course, I haven't been provided any court documents where they have filed against me.  What a scam.  

"Investigator Robinson" called and left a VM on my phone. First of all she called from a restricted number; which I never answer. If you know me or have business with me, you can show your number. Secondly she stated that she was an investigator but did not identify what company, law enforcement agency, or law firm she was with. I was told that I had charges of check fraud pending and that I needed to make an official statement. She also gave the last four of my social and a case number. I was told to call back "before bad things happen and good luck to me if I don't". I know I have some debt that I owe and that debt collection agencies get very tricky with their tactics but I did not like being threatened. I googled the phone number left in order to find what agency/company I was dealing with and found this forum of complaints.

These people messed with the wrong family. They threatened my daughter about a loan she never took out and said she was facing 4 or 5 counts of felony. I quickly looked up the number and found other complaints.  

This company is using illegal tactics to collect unpaid debt. They are a bill collection agency.

Got a voice message on my answering machine from this number today: the caller claimed to be from "ABRR Tracing Services," and was looking for a "Diego Campos," who needed to provide more information for an affidavit related to a complaint of some kind in San Diego.  Since I didn't know anyone by that name, I was about to call back to correct the misunderstanding when it occurred to me to look up the 844 area code on the Internet, and eventually found this website and read the postings above.  I'm guessing that the call was a "phishing" expedition.  Anyway, I didn't call back.

A Rachel Philips called my grandmother and uncle today from this number. She left a message saying that I was being served for check fraud. She told them I owed on a pay day loan and that I had allowed them to take money out of the bank account I had at the time, but they no longer could take money since my account had been closed and that this is a form of check fraud. The loan thing is true but this was over 2 years ago. My account was closed due to the overdraft fees and me losing my job so i couldnt pay. She gave all my family members the last 4 digits of my SSN and was discussing my account with them. I looked into my rights and she was NOT supposed to do that. They said she seemed as though she was phishing for more info and kept insisting I pay atleast $600 or else I would be served papers within the week.  I called the number she left it was ADR Arbitration and I've seen the numerous scam reports from them.

So, this is not legit?  Because i just received the same exact phone call and it freaked me out just a little bit.

This number called me and said they were calling from the law firm of Adams, Davis, and Rothstein. She said her name is Ms. Kathleen. She said the there was a claim filed against me and that my wages would be garnished and my license suspended. She also stated the the district attorney wanted my statement before the "information" was sent to my county. She then claimed to be from ADR Arbitration. She had the last four of my SSN and wanted me to call her back at the number listed with the ext. 105. Red flags immediately went up when my license was "threatened" to be suspended because I haven't gotten a ticket in YEARS so I didn't know what my license had to do with anything. Secondly, she claimed to be from TWO different companies, both in which don't exist anywhere near where I live or anywhere in the U.S. Thirdly,  I did some research and found that this has been done before using a different number (8558387879)!
