I got a call from a Joseph Ramos from FG Financial who gave me an invalid extension to reach him. He found me through my ex's home number which was less than a yr old. He stated he was an investigator who received my file on his desk because I owed 1000.00 on a loan and he verified the company name that I really owed. He stated that it was strange that he was assigned my case because he only deals with debts 15,000.00 or more. But he wanted to make a payment arrangement to stop his client from pursuing me legally and broke down the payment increments through sept 2014 which I felt was reasonable. And now I filed bankruptcy and can't get a hold of anyone to provide my case number. They've only deducted once from my bank account, thank God, and now I had to close it since no one returns my msgs. The number (Joseph) provided me is only a recording then goes to a vm. The phone number on my bank statement is different and the company name is NCW Billing 3 and it only goes straight to a vm with no intro. It sounds like a personal hm or cell vm. I don't know about these ppl. So I'm not sure if I've been scammed yet. My bank is doing further research. I hope it was legit, it's a horrible feeling to think you've been scammed.

I got a call about someone I never heard of and was told that the police were coming to arrest me because I refused to cooperate with them in finding someone I don't know and never heard of.
I am not sure how long it took for him to hang up after I started rolling on the floor laughing.

No. Google the name of "Thaddeus Wier" and "penny stock." Wier is a small-time penny stock pump and dumper who is a felon. He and his brother were prosecuted for running a boiler room back in the 90s. Wier made a deal to avoid prison time, accepted a plea, and was supposed to pay restitution to his "investors." A few years later, Wier was back to his old scamming ways with another penny stock company named "Centrale" which became "Nexxnow" which later became "Inolife." How do I know? Wier tried to run a pump and dump through my last firm. I caught them and threw him and all of his accomplices out of the firm. But these guys never change; they just move on to another scam.

So is this a legit company or no? They call me all the time and say that I owe for something, but they are very vague and I'm stumped as to what to do. Anyone know with certainty if they are legitimate or not?

Yes, this is a common scam. People try to collect on non-existent debts by threats of criminal prosecution. Ignore 'em. Report them to your local state authorities.

Just was called by two family member that I owe 846 dollars and something about about check. Said that they we processing a warrant for my arrest if I didn't make arrangements to pay the money today. Any one else had this problem.
| Ruth 2014-02-12 17:43:10 Unknown |
Got a call from 855-700-9165 lady said her name is Kelly that she has documents with my social security regarding fradulent activity... and to call her back today or my legal representative. No company name or anything.
| Ck 2014-02-07 18:48:37 Unknown |
Same as above. Ugh. How do they get our number? They called MY number, asked for my husband, and said it was pertaining to ME. WTH?
| Madame X 2014-02-07 02:08:55 Debt Collector |
Very annoying and troublesome. They called me, my brother and our elderly mother, who is quite upset.
| s0668 2014-01-31 00:02:03 Unknown |
Just received same message regarding a civil case and fraudulent checks.his name is Travis Zinc did they finally stop calling?
| a mother 2014-01-30 23:55:14 Unknown |
got call from 855-700-9165 knew my name and ask about a lady that used to be my neighbor.I haven't talked to her in years how did they know our names???Weird and I don't like it at ALL!!!
| SuzE 2014-01-30 22:14:16 Unknown |
The woman also told me it was a federally recorded phone line.. say what???
| SuzE 2014-01-30 22:09:32 Unknown |
I've received the same phone call from 1-855-700-9165 .. 3 days in a row on my house phone and work extension. At first it was a man calling and leaving messages about my name and social security number being involved in fraudulent activity..just now it was a woman who didn't leave her name or company name.. just told me I had until 6:00pm EST to return this urgent phone call or they were going to forward all of the paperwork to my county. I also received a phone call from 716-989-0588 which is a wireless from NY but they didn't leave any message.
I think this all stems from a Payday loan that I took out a few years ago.. it was paid off and I never defaulted on it.. I think somehow these idiots got their hands on a customer list or phone list.. because this is not the first one of these calls I've received.. I get them on a regular basis.. I've checked my credit report and it is okay.. If it was a legitimate company they would contact you by mail with a registered letter if they can't reach you by phone before they go and send anything to the courts. I've told them this and they get really pissed and cuss you out and tell you good luck and hang up on you.. just scammers trying to make some quick cash.

I received another call this morning just like yours. From FG Financial. I get them all day long and into the night. Why wont someone do something about these people.
| thisneedstostop 2014-01-29 00:06:43 Debt Collector |
I have received the same phone calls a reported above. They say they are FG financial and trying to help me avoid a civil suit. They have now called three days and twice each day. leaving threatening messages and how tired they are of playing this game with me. NOW just a few minutes ago, i got a call from a different phone no. saying FG has turned the account over to them and they are trying to help me avoid a civil suit, They give a docket number I am to use when I call back. The number is a cell phone from New York, the voice is automated.
| annoyed by scams 2014-01-28 18:15:02 Unknown |
got like 5 calls and 3 voicemails in a week from these people. the woman is very snotty and you can barely understand what she is saying. the last one said that if I don't call back immediately I forfeit the right to settle outside of court and the papers will be sent to my county. what in the world? plus Imve tried finding information on Focus Gold Financial Corp and the 3 numbers they've used. no info on their "company" name, one # was a computer repair/support line, one # was this and I'm checking the next one after this. so much for being on the DNC list!
| markt 2014-01-28 15:09:36 Debt Collector |
same calls as mentioned above. the do***ebag even called my ex... lol
| Itzybitz 2014-01-25 15:57:05 Unknown |
He called the hotel where I work, asking for a coworker. When I said the co worker wasn't available he wanted his supervisors name. I said I couldn't give that out. He asked for human resources and I said they weren't in. He finally left a number for my co worker to call back and in a snotty tone said "If he doesn't call by Monday we're calling his supervisor." Why would a financial company need to speak with someones supervisor? I looked up the number and found this. I will be passing the note and the information here on to my co worker so he can deal with it. They should be more worried about him than I anyway. haha
| Angered 2014-01-25 15:46:54 Unknown |
He called my 12 year old daughters phone. Don't know how he got her number. When I called back he tried to tell me I was involved in fraudulent check schemes. Then it wasn't checks but failure to pay a loan. He had all this info on me but would not send me anything in writing. I refused to verify info bcz his allegations were complete lies but he insisted I'd verified his info and that I'd be owing legal fees on top of ll kinds of others tuff if I didn't handle it. I asked how he suggested I handle it. The answer : pay now. With no receipt, no proof of the matter. I know who I owe money to and it's not some payday loan company. And I pay monthly and work with reputable ppl who would not yell at you on the phone. This is a scam and not the first one I've seen. Do not ever pay anyone money just bcz they say u owe them. And never do it without verifying the authenticity of the company
| anonymous 2014-01-24 16:31:36 Unknown |
Yes, I just received a voice mail stating that I was to refer to a certain number and call them back. Why won't any one due something about these scum bags!
| greg 2014-01-23 01:53:36 Unknown |
yes
| tiredofspamcallers 2014-01-22 20:51:13 Unknown |
Got yet another call today....actually 2 calls, one after the other with the same voicemail message. This time the voicemail stated he received a civil judgment claim and I only have a limited time to voluntarily handle the case before I automatically forfeit and documents are sent to my local county....
I wonder what terminology he will come up with tomorrow.
| anonymous 2014-01-21 19:38:33 Unknown |
Got the same voicemail. just looked up FG Financial Corp, it's in the Bahamas. I wonder if this is related or is the same scam as the 3 am phone call I got last week from 649-232-9810, I wish these low lifes would leave everyone alone.
| tiredofspamcallers 2014-01-21 19:13:06 Unknown |
Yup. Just received this voicemail...
".....This is Joseph Rodriguez with FG Financial Corp. Documents have been submitted to my office with details of fraudulent activity associated with your name and social security number....."
| anonymous 2014-01-20 21:55:00 Unknown |
same here, my name and social were involved in fradulent activity
| random 2014-01-17 21:19:13 Unknown |
Called saying that my name and ss # were used in possible fraudulent activity. Anyone else experience this?
| the390 2014-01-16 14:03:37 Unknown |
Called saying im involved with a person who owes money I don't know the person they speak of.
