Scam saying they had check fraud associated with my ss#

it most definetly is a scam!!! they go by three different company names including EDS, JDS, Franklin Processing...Not to be confused with Franklin Ross and associates aka FL Recovery credit solutions...Unfortunately My wife made a payment to them and they took off with over $1800 but the good news is i have alot of resources that can find anything out about anyone. The bank refunded my money to me and now the bank is after them...I call there company about once i day and f*** with them like they have with me. Please beware!

This # called me saying my name and ss# was associated this stolen merchandice, when I called them back they said they were looking for my son to serve him a a seopena and they needed His address. my son has live at the same place for almost 4 yrs. I told them I would five the number to the police because I think they are scaming people

Sounds like a scam.

I also received a call from this number. They said they were looking for my son. That they wanted his address to soepana him. He's been at the same place for 3 years. The message person also said my name and social security # was associated with this. I guarantee you my son does not know my ss#. I told them I would have the police check them out,  because I'd all the scams out

I got message from 8448054497. Saying something about stolen merchandise being associated with my name and ss#. It's a scam. I don't steal....we all need to contact the FTC. My daughter being young and innocent she fell for a scam a month or so ago. They ran her phone bill up cause it was an international number. Plus she sent them money. They  her she had won 1000's of $$$. They had her send
them a fee through western union. That # is 8764181905

Do not ever confirm any information to a company that is trying to tell you owe a bogus bill.They obviously do not know and are relying on you to provide and confirm.  Any reputable debt collector will follow the law which is they must provide all documentation to you in writing and who the original company is you owe. This company is a fraud. The sad thing is they will prey on the unsuspecting and will get money from them. I will be filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and those who get this call should do the same. Enough complaints and  the FTC will go after them.

I just received a call from this number as well. They did not say who they were or where they were calling from but the message said that I needed to contact them back immediately regarding "stolen merchandise attached to my name and social security number." Needless to say, I did not call them back and I blocked this number from calling me since the iPhone's now have a "Block Contact" feature. This has SCAM written all over it!!

Thank you for posting I just received the same exact message word for word!!!

This number keeps calling me about check fraud which is weird considering I'm ONLY A MINOR with no bank account or checking account. The only money I've ever used besides cash is my dad's credit card. I knew something was wrong when they said that me, a teenager, was being summoned for check fraud. Luckily I've never answered this number but I do receive voicemails from them at least once a week.

I got a call as well from this number, 844-805-4497, and had the same pitch thrown at me. It is a scam.

We got exact same message. My husband called back,  the guy on the other end asked if we had a case number. Hubby said no but wouldn't tell him his name. The guy asked if he was "Terry Jackson". Could be a fake name. It has been said before but bears repeating: If you don't recognize the number, don't answer the phone and don't call it back before checking it out!

Got a message the other day, (automated voice) stating that a claim has been placed in my county for check fraud.  Say's this is Arrow Tech.  it does not give a phone # but rather tells you to press 8 to speak to a representative.  Curiosity killed the cat, so I pressed 8, I got a guy named Ike Clark w the Law Office of Daniel VanGuard.  Says it is re: CashnetUSA for check fraud of $1500.00.  Funny how a $400.00 debt evolved into $1500.00.  I asked him for his mailing address and phone # and that I would pull my records and get back to him.  He proceeds to give me attitude and refused to give me any info.  He threatened to garnish my wages on which I replied that according to the FTC you cannot garnish social security wages.  Upon which his attitude escalated telling me that this does not apply to stealing money.  And boasting that yeah we caught you, etc etc.  Kept telling me that if I don't make settlement arrangements now that he will be sending a county sheriff to my home with a court summons and kept asking me if I was going to be home between 10 and 11 am today.  I told him to go ahead and hung the phone up.  It's been 5 days and noone has shown up yet.  Totally unprofessional and crude.  Everyone be careful, there is a new breed of scammers out there that pose as collectors, investigators and law offices and law enforcement.  I find it interesting that these people want to verify your address and want to know if you will be home etc and then ask permission to come out to serve a summons.  Folks, that's not how it works at all.  Believe me if law enforcement wants you they have no trouble at all at tracking you down.

received a call from this number..would like to know who this is.

I just received the same call.  They even left a message. Which said, " this is an important message from JDS legal services.  We have received a claim against your social security number in regards to check fraud."   Bottom line........MASSIVE SCAM.  Rule of thumb, if you don't recognize a number....don't' answer the call.

I would like to know the name of the company that is calling me from this number
