called from a local town number i answered they didn't even ask my name they just said can you get ahold of her, we have a
complaint against her. i looked up their number scam, looked on line for cases files against me none. dont let them scam you. and if they have proof i owe then mail a certified letter to address. Not scam over the phone cause if you pay one. then you get alot more calls from others, it has happen to me.  i paid one because they scared me to death by threats and now they passed number along for others to scam. i fell for it once not again. you want me show up with a formal letter with proof and id.

They said they were calling from blue cross blue shield.  They were talking about my policy.  Total bull.

This number called my roommate!! She said the number 718-134-5678 kept calling her so she finally answered it. They were looking for me, but they had my middle initial wrong and called me Kristen. They asked her if we would be home tomorrow bc they were going to server me papers. She said no, we work. I am hoping no more info was given out. My roommate told me they "couldn't give her any information" but they had a "case #". The company called themselves K N R Associates.

I got a message on my phone from a local county number in my city saying they were filing an affidavit by the end of today and if i wanted to resolve this matter to call 855-233-1564. I called the number this man says i owed some company called great lakes bank which i never had. He said i owed like $857, im suppose to call them back with my debit card info. i got scared because it was the county police number. im reading all these posts. so this is a scam. so they are spoofing with local numbers.

Just got the voicemail, female, special investigator for Northwest Bank check fraud department, she has court papers that will be filed, pause in her voice, December 8th 2011, kept repeating the county I lived in and the words "court" and "police" close together so it sounded like our county police. I had to listen about 4 times to get everything she said and at the end she stated my name, which was pronounced horribly wrong, you have been served. I work 3rd and was awaken by this bitc* I would like to track her down and tell her that if she calls me again I will make sure she no longer has fingers to dial the phone.

Thank you soo much for this post I was scared shitless, I thought someone had stolen my identity. I am soo glad I looked up this # because it just may have happened.

I received a phone call from an officer Jones stating a took out a payday loan in 2007 and he would gladly resolve this with me.  I can pay him $1,010 by debit card!!! Are you crazy??!!!!!!! I asked him to send me proof of this pay day loan but he could only serve me with court papers.  Guess I'm waiting for court papers!!! How can people do this???

Thank goodness you looked up the number and came to this site BEFORE you sent money!  Don't respond to their calls.  Do, however, file a complaint with the IC3, FBI and FTC.

They called my job and left a msg for my boss stating that I had to call within 24 hrs. or I would go to jail for check fraud. I did call them back and they threatened to serve me papers at work. I did set up payment arrangements through a prepaid card I do not even use anymore. He stated that they had all my information which I never confirmed and some bank acct. number but I wasn't not sure even if it was my previous bank acct. or not. They were rude but the man did not have an accent at all and was very clear. I was supposed to make a payment on this Fri. and stated that they were going to send me information in my email acct. within 15 min. but I never received which made me look the number up b/c something did not feel right. Glad I did b/c they would have been getting a lot of money from me. 872.43 to be exact.

Call the Jamestown police department 716-483-7536 report kirk krofka then call the attourney general and the fbi

Somehow these people got my Mothers cell phone number and called her saying my Husband would be arrested! This is out of control! I am reporting them in every way I can!

Calling me at my place of work and leaving VM on general VM box!!!

Save the VM message.  Why?  Because I filed a complaint with the FBI, IC3 and Consumer Affairs and they wanted it.  I took my complaints to the overseas FBI office as well.  These guys are total scum!

I got a call from a local number in my county. When I google searched it, it kicked me back to the Sheriff department in my county. First the woman who called asked for my location - yeah, like I am going to tell you that information. If you know who I am, you should have all that already. So I hung up on her. She called back three more times - this time from a "private number". I didn't answer. Her VM told me that she had an affidavit that was set to go out tomorrow, but if "you contact the following number 855-233-1564 and reference case # you can voluntarily resolve this matter." Really? You don't even want to tell me who you are? Scammers!

I got the same call from someone calling himself Investigator Smith.  Said a complaint was filed against me and wanted the opportunity to speak with me before completing the affidavit which was received in his office and would see me in court on check fraud.  This was not a foreign accent, it is by someone who sounds legit, but then I googled this number and here I am on this site!  I will now file a complaint with the FCC, the FBI and IC3.  If I have to, I will go to the attorney general and local police.  This is ridiculous and I will not be threatened.

I recieved a call stating I had 24 hours to call Investigator Smith wanted to go over my paperwork before I had to appear in court over a fraudulent check.  What a bunch of BS! I asked for written proof of the "fraudlulent check" he threatened me and hung up.  If they were legitimate business then they would be able to provide written proof of the debt.

when they call you tell them you reported them to the federal trade commission. if they persist, just hang up because they are nobody. i did just that and they haven't called back.

Very threating call from this number...stop them UGH

I hope the sheriff in your county does something, because as you can see they are going crazy across the states trying to scam everybody. I reported them to the federal trade commission, to the dept of consumer affairs. and to ic3.org. my next stop is the attorney general.

It's a debt collector.

this seems to be going on alot right now with everyone. somehow they called from a local number, that when you google comes up the sherrif in my town. when i answered she gave me the 855 number to call back. which i had from yesterday. i called the number back that she called from. it was a recording for the probation and parole department where i live. really?! i am going to call the local police here and let them know that they are trying to pass themselves off as process servers.

Same old scam, different number.  See

The FBI calls it what it is; extortion.  

Don't waste your time calling them back.

Got a call from "processor" Ray Jordan who said he was calling from my county clerks office but number showed up as private number and when I asked him for local call back number he gave me the 855-233-1564. Then he transferred me to a check division and was told it was for payday loan in 2007. First of all my husband work for the county that they said they were calling from. We called the county clerks office and nothing on file. Big scam. All they wanted was my banking info. I laughed and told them to file whatever they needed.

Calls himself case inveatigator thompson. he called me at work again. i told him i submitted a complaint with the federal trade commission on his collection practices. he said he was going to go ahead and serve me with court papers at work. i told him to go ahead. ten minutes later a female calls me and claims to have an affidavit with my name on it. i told her she was a fake. it was all a scam. to stop calling me at work. she laughed at told me she was going to call me everyday. i called the federal trade commission and reported what happened. they also told me i also needed to file a complaint with the dept. of consumer affairs. i did just that. so i am still waiting to be served.

Called the phone numbers of relatives and said I would be arrested tomorrow if they did not hear from me.  First call said they were calling from the county I live in and I owed a bank money.  Second call said I had an unpaid payday loan.  I called and they wanted me to immediately pay.  I don't owe any money but I did ask for proof of the debt, I thought it could be possible identify theft.  They said they would be at my location in 30 minutes.  I googled the phone number and the rest is self explanatory.

I got the same call at work. he calls himself case investigator thompson. left a message and claimed if i didnt call him back he was going to serve me with court papers at work. they try to scare you. don't give in it is a bunch of horse s***.

i got the same phone call today for a debt that was from 2007. called my old cell number, which my grandmother has now. i called back and they told me the same thing. i have filed bankruptcy so they can suck it

What bothers me is he is calling my elderly parents!  They believe what they hear, has them scared to death for no reason.  He is the one breaking the law acting as a Processor!  Come and get me you fraud!  I have called the police and sent them your recording, they are taking action against you as we speak!

yeah i got a similar call myself stating it was a check fraud in my name and that they have a affidavit with a cas# and that if i didnt call back within 24hrs they would file it....no report from any official people of mine. had a similar from a investigator katerine except they were tring to cash a check in my name....i found the email on her forwarded it to the FBI fraud department. The other investigator's name is Investigator jordon.

they are stating that they are a payday loan & that they are trying to collect on a hot check but yet they cannot show proof of the check they just want your debit card # or you to westen union the money to them... I have not gotten a payday loan & if I cannot see proof of this debt then I do not feel comfortable paying it.. sounds fishy to me. they answer the phone 'check divison'
