Well I did my homework and called the police fraud line and this company is a SCAM  866-232-7216    do not return their calls and report them SCAM SCAM SCAM   do not give them your ssn # and I also put a freeze on my credit report so one one could pull up my report at all and also put my account on high watch with my bank.    Please if this happens to you please report this company Brinkman Alliance group so no one else has to go through this

Hello

I found your post as an eye opener since you said you spoke to your lawyer.   that is the same number I was given.   So you did not make the payemtn, and nothing happened?  you were not served court papers or had anymore threatening calls?

I received a call on Friday from this company Brinkman Alliance Group stating I had 3 criminal charges against me for a payday loan from 2008 and if I did not call back the company right away they were going to serve me court papers with in 24 hours.  I called them back and they asked me for my ssn i refused to give it tothem.  they then told me I had a bill from 2008 I needed to pay etc etc.  I asked the lady how a debt collector would know if I have criminal charges?  she then asked my question with a question.  and refused to give me her name also said being a 35 yr old woman I shouldn't have debt like this.   I then asked her what is the amount due and she refuesed to give me the amount she just wanted to know what I would pay now.   I then called back and spoke with a gentleman who also said I had 3 charges againts me for check fraud.  WHAT   he was so rude and put me on hold for 30 mins when I finally hung up.  Called back a 3rd time and spoke to another guy who was more helpful and I explained to him tht if this was true why in the last 5 years was I not notified of this info.  He said I had been notified thru a reference I haven't spoken to in 5 years.  I then asked him to get me some documentation showing this debt and the attempts to be made.  He sent me an email and said I have very little time to respond and make the payment before more legal action is taken.   I did research the company after getting thier acutal name, and have had nothing but bad reviews.   I am not willing to make this payment until I know they are 100%.   Not sure where to go from here

I just received a call threatening me, that there were charges filed against me for a pay day loan for 2007 and that I would be served within 24 hours.  I called my local police and they also confirmed this was a scam.  While I was on the phone with the police, Megan from Brinkmen Alliance Group called me back.  I explained I was on the phone with the police and they were nothing but scam artists and if they called me again they would be hearing from my attorney.  She told me to do what I felt I needed to do.  I have a husband that is terminally ill and we definitely do not need any of this drama.  A new number to add to your list is 866-760-4327.

I received a call today.  They posed all the same threats.  I contacted my lawyer as well.  These are SCAMMERS!  Dont fall prey to them.  Their number was 866-232-6870.

They have a new number and changed there last name! I was suprised that they use the same tactics on everyone! My lawyer told me to tell them to go to hell! New Number is 1-866-760-4327

Received call from unknown caller indicating I owed on a payday loan from 2007 and was advised to contact 866-760-4327 for additional information

How long have you owned the company Brinkman Alliance and/ or its affiliates?

Dumb a** your are one off them..

1(866)760-4327..... Hang Up dont answer these calls.... They called me at work saying that I had gotten a Check Advance back in 2005 they had my check number and the date the i made the check advance. They told me if i didnt pay the fines for the bounce check and the check advance i received i would go to jail..... When i finish my phone call with these people I check google a found this other people have gotten calls from them im glad i looked this up before making the mistake and paying the fines...... $$$$$ saved!!! I

I recv'd this phone call on Tuesday 16 this year. The man left his name as John Taylor stating he rec'vd the fax and I would be served next 24 to 48 hours. IF this was inconvient for me to call them back and reference case number. I did within 30 sec. Told them I just recvd your message and he informed me that his company doesnt make outgoing calls. He also use different first name yet same last name. When I told him that he sounded exaclty like him he stuttered and gave an excuse as he was sorry to have a familiar voice. He then went on to inform me this would be recorded both our safety. Told me about a bad debit I alledgely had and there were 2 charges of fraud against me .I asked who would be serving me and he said the US Marshalls!! I simply told him to do what he had to do and I contacted the non emergeny State Police as it was 5pm. I called the number back around 10pm that night and it went instantly to the beep beep this number is no longer in service bit. They too had last 4 of social. I also know that some companies sell you debits to other companies....BILL COLLECTORS use  this practice they purchase debits from companies that are generally written off or expired. I was scared will not even lie! I was familiar with the company they said I owed as I had been contacted 3 years prior, that was scam too! These are people just trying to get money and once they get enough negative publicity they will just buy another 855 number and try again. ALWAYS BE WARE

My husband just recieved a call from 855-972-6643. From a Charles Smith stating he has 2 charges against him and will be severed in the next 24 to 48 hours blah blah. We went to our local police station and they confirmed this is a scam they have recieved multiple complaints about this company. When we called it back said all circuits were busy and then we called with a blocked number and it says it wont allow blocked number to enter it in. BEWARE do not give out your information! SCAM SCAM SCAM!!

I had the exact same message left last week.  He said the last 4 digits of my SSN.  I'm not going to call them back but am worried abut them having my information.  Is there anything we can do?

They called me and stated they were a law firm in Michigan hired by a company in Indiana to file fraud charges against me. Stated I had bounced checks in a state I never wrote checks, And sinced I never bounced a check in any state I knew it was BS. Stated that I would be summoned to appear in court and I better show up to avoid prison time. Also told me I should call back if I wanted to avoid going thru court. This should be illegal, but from what a judge told me its not worth the trouble and never amounts to anything. Number was 1-855-972-6643

Yes i just received a call like this too. His name was Charles Smith. He left me the exact message. I knew it was scam because they just trying to fish for more information.

I got a call and the message, said it was Charles Smith and their office just received a fax to serve me with paperwork for 2 charges that are being filed against me with the last 4-digits of my SSN.  (He also gave the last 4-digits of my SSN).  Said that they were going to serve me at my work or my home within the next 24-48 hours.  (Today is Saturday and the message was from Thursday.)  And told me that I could contact the Department of Legal Services at 855-972-6643 if I had a more convenient time for them to come or had any questions.  What the heck?  They have my SSN!  If this is a scan, it's not good if they have personal info.  Anybody else have a similar issue?

I was also given a reference number but they couldn't give me any info as to what the complaints were or whom from.

Just received a call stating that a fax was received in regards to two complaints filed against me and that within the next 24h someone will be out to serve me with a court summons.  I called the number I was given and to my surprise received no response! What's the deal? I'm a stay at home mom with no income and this is fishy. Will see what happens tomorrow. Glad I find this website though

Mike call me also and made similar threats. They accused me of being a fraudulent. This
Company is preying on people and try to get paid illegally.

I was at the hospital with my daughter who has Diabetes and i had left my cell in the car, when I checked it I had a message. The message went something like this. I am calling to leave a message for Joyce and this is Travis from  the liasons office. It went on to say I am calling to tell you that withing the next 24- 48 hours you are going to be served ( didnt say exactly with what) and that there have been to complaints against you by Brinkman Alliance and to call back at 855-972-6643. So after I got my daughter settled I called them back when I got home and a guy named Mike answered he said something about my place of employment and I said wait a minute I am disabled and do not have a job well then he said immediately well I will have Travis call you back in the morning are systems are down. I said Dont bother I know this is a scam and I will tell my lawyer. He hung up.  Are only income is my husbands I have leukemia, back, neck problems and I ripped the hamstring off my right hip almost two years ago at work I dont need this. About a year ago someone scammed my daughter the one with diabetes in a similar thing. There has to be a special place in HELL for these ppl.

I received a voicemail from this "legal office" from a guy stating he was a litigator. Right...It is against the law to threaten to serve someone with legal papers over the phone and also state that you are some kind of lawyer unless you are going to provide your state bar information. Just scare tactics trying to get you to call in so they can make some more threats and steal innocent people's money. If they call me again, I'll be contacting the attorney general.

Wow wow received unknown # so i decided to pick up and they ask for my husband with a birthday of something in 09. Really?! Something?? So we went on i said hes not available and of course he told me that if he doesnt call back that they well come out and hand him court papers either he settle now or court and pay for lawyer and court fee plus what you owe which will be 2,000 hmmm oh and the unknown time they well come out and serve him. So GLAD i found this site! Oh yea and they say that they are from a law firm!!

Complete scam. Wouldn't say why they were calling and that they need my SS number or would call my employer. Huh? Don't bother speaking to these idiots.

Well, JohnP, It sounds like you are one of their agents trying to help further the scam! Responsible people protect themselves and their families from such scam artists. Just because I don't answer a phone call from an unlisted/blocked/unknown number DOES NOT mean I am irresponsible, or avoiding the call.

Here's my advise to you, JohnP - GET A REAL JOB! Stop scamming people who are working and taking care of their business!

And this is most likely a scam as a voicemail is NOT a means of service notification!

I received a message close to the one the others received. I called and spoke to one of the representatives there who had to transfer me to a case advisor. As a responsible individual I thought I knew the possible reasons they might have been calling for, but it wasn't what I thought. I'm glad I called I was able to handle it. They did inform me that they don't even make the outgoing calls that everyone is saying they receive from this office, but after listening to the message again no where in the message I received did it say the person calling was from Brinkman Alliance. There is a lot of information posted on here that's wrong. Even if you think it might be a scam, you probably should call. It's very irresponsible to ignore calls like these, all you have to do is be careful if you are unsure of if you trust them or not, but it is your responsibility to call. Even if it was a scam, it then would your fault for falling for it, they can't just scam you by returning a call. You can easily inquire what it is regarding and not give out a lot of your personal information. Chances are if you are avoiding calls and looking on here then you already know there are reasons you have that companies may be pursuing you, and by not calling to even figure out for yourself just makes the situation worse, especially since a lot of people who post on here don't know what they are talking about and haven't even called themselves to be trusted for advice

they called because they received a FAX with my name and info on it. So they are trying to varify the info before they send it to my home or place of employment. Sounds like a scam to me.

Me too it does not sound legit

who is this

Says they were a group called Rinkman Alliance
