person hangs up. Called back....prerecorded message...this is attempt to collect a debt.....?

Had 2-3 phone calls - no one on the line.  Received the last one - the caller, a male, said "This is an attempt to collect a debt. Any information obtained will be used for that purpose.  This is the Law Offices of Scott Caruthers (Coruthers?).This call may be monitored or recorded for quality assurance."  Then a "Michael" or "Mr. Bond" - both are the same person will pick up the line and ask who this is and what number am I calling from.  When told, he says he's trying to collect a debt from a Jose Ramirez".  After telling him I do not know that person, he apologizes and said he'll take my number off his list.  I asked him where this law office was and his only reply was it is the law offices of Scott Caruthers (Coruthers??)

2 calls (12:40 p.m. 09/19; 7:30 p.m. 09/22)after first call I called back to find out who was calling. I didn't catch all the recording, but that it was collections and a law office. The man I spoke with said he was trying to collect a debt from someone(not me)and I said there was no one by that name at this number. I called again after the second call and the recording said, "this is an attempt to collect a debt" and that is was the Law Offices of Scott Caruthers. I left my phone number and ask that they quit calling me since I don't have a delinquent debt.

I have received a call from this number a few times. The only credit card I am behind on is CitiCards and they have their own collection department.

Plus the fact I pickup and give my little message, "Hello thank you for calling, blah blah. This is blah blah speaking how can I help you." And then they hang up. They never have ever said a thing. I am about to call the cops for harassment as it is my business cell of which they are taking away precious time for a customer to call as well as using up my minutes.

Another call today. That is twice in one day. Again no one on the end of the line. This time I recognized the number answered and asked who this was, DEAD SILENCE. I then told them to quit calling me or I would report them to the cops. One more time and I will do just that.

Calls everyday at various times.  Received one v/mail msg saying it was from a law office trying to collect a debt for ****  & if you continue to listen to the message you are acknowleding the debt blah blah blah.  Like you aren't going to keep listening, its on your own machine.  Anyway its some kind of debt collector calling my number for a person we don't know.  Now that we know we are trying to answer every time it rings to tell them to quit calling but it just hangs up every time you answer.  tried calling the person who left the msg but that number isn't good either. I dont' think there is any way to stop it.

This caller, called to collect a dept, i said cool -because he had some info on me, i figured it was real and i waned to fix this. I asked This Firm to send me the paper work, faxed or by mail. They failed on both and even said the fax (sent Kinkos) was confirmed. Kinkos has no confimation. Also i asked for the paperwork to be sent be post-still no paperwork after one week.
You would think this collector or Law Firm would be kinda "on-it" to get me the info needed, so i may pay the dept.
Sounds kinda fishy to me..??
HELP!!

Received a call from Law Offices of Scott Caruthers.  They told my mother she owed money and they were alling to settle it out of court.  She owes no one anything.  The number they called from was 866-267-9647.  They tried to get the last 4 digits of a social security number confirmed.  I called them back and asked them for their address.  They would not give me anything.  I told them I needed their address to send them a letter and still got nothing out of them.  They would only say they were in Kansas.  This place is totally fraudulent and I hope the they get put in jail for fraud!!

I TOO AM RECEIVING CALLS FROM THIS NUMBER.  WE HAVE IMPECCABLE CREDIT AND HAVE NEVER BEEN IN COLLECTIONS. THE MAN WHO CALLED ME WAS A MR. SILLA OR CILLA.  HIS DIRECT NUMBER WAS 866-645-9544.  HE TOO HAD THE CORRECT LAST 4 DIGITS OF MY HUSBANDS SS#. I ASKED FOR THE ENTIRE NUMBER AND IT WAS INCORRECT.  I TOLD HIM THESE ACCOUNTS ARE NOT OURS.  HE GAVE ME A PHONE NUMBER FOR THE FRAUD UNIT TO THE BANK, ACCOUNT NUMBERS, BALANCES AND DATES THESE SO-CALLED ACCOUNTS WERE OPENED AND CHARGED OFF. HE STATED THAT GARNISHMENT WAS THE NEXT STEP. I TOLD HIM HE HAD THE WRONG PEOPLE.  HE OFFERED TO HELP IN ANY WAY HE COULD.  WHAT A SCAM.  I WENT TO THE BANK IN QUESTION AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A SCAM. THE PHONE NUMBER HE GAVE FOR THE FRAUD UNIT IS ALSO A SCAM, PROBABLY CONNECTED TO THEM TO GET MORE INFORMATION.  I HOPE SOMEONE NAILS THESE SOB'S TO THE WALL.

It looks like Scott Caruthers has another number, 1-866-935-2766.  We are being called because we suposidly have a $400 debt with USBank.  You will either speak with Andrew or Brian (who is from Tampa) who sound much alike and even sound like the automated call recording.  Anyway, if it helps, I scared the crap out of Brian today and got their address.  7290 Samuel Dr. Suite 300 Denver, Co. 80221.  Will be checking to see if this is bogus as well.

Same guy called me looking to verify my name and social security number, he did though have a variation of my social security number.

I have been receiving calls from the Law office of Scott Caruthers.  Mr. Tafoya stated to me that the vice president of US Bank had hired him to pursue a lawsuit against me for the balance of $800 something.  I do have a debt with US Bank and I know it is under $300.  I asked him if he could send me a bank statement showing that 800 something balance and where it came from, Mr. Tafoya stated that he didn't have access to that information.  I am a paralegal and I see debt collections all the time and they always have the information.  I advised him of what I do for a living and questioned him on Mr. Caruthers' bar number and address.  He gave the information to me willingly but I have had no luck validating the information.  I did receive a letter from Mr. Caruthers and it stated that they have made a number of attempts to contact me and I had 15 days to contact them and of course I did.  He demanded me pay the 800 something dollars by credit card or check by phone.  Previously I have asked to set up payment arrangements and the funds would be sent certified. They stated that they would refuse anything that came into their office and I could only pay the debt over the phone giving them access to my acount information.  The last time I spoke with Mr. Tafoya was yesterday, he wasn't too happy with me not giving him my acount information.  He said he will no londer work with me and he will see me in court to pursue a lawsuit and when he gets the judgment the document right behind that will be a order granting garnishment.  I laughed at him and told him no judge in my county would sign it because it is against the law! He then hung up.  

After consulting with the attorney I work for, she told me not to EVER talk to anyone from that office again and she believes it's a scam! I will be pulling my credit report in the next couple days.  (I just pulled it a couple months before hand and US Bank was not there!)

Ok, I did some research and came up with this:

1.  I called US Bank and asked what was going on, they stated to me that they charged off the account and to contact United Credit.
2.  I called United Credit and they said they SOLD the account to National Account Adjusters.
3.  I called National Account Adjusters, the number was disconnected.  I called United Credit back and asked them if they had another number for NAA, they did.
4.  I called NAA, guess who picked up.... "Law Offices"  lol, sons of b***hes!  I asked whose law office was it..... ready... Law Office of Scott Caruthers!  Then I hung up.
5.  I then thought about what to do, hmm, hassel them as they have me!
6.  Called NAA back, asked for Mr. Tafoya, he was out but the man asked if he could help me.  "Of course you can.  Can you send me my entire account information?  All contracts and bank statements?" "I dont have that information." her responded! I then kept asking him how he was going to sue me if he didnt have access to the legal binding contract.  I also asked him what were the last 10 debits off my bank statement, they should have been (according to Mr. Tafoya) intrest the bank charged me.  He then stated that the bank did not charge me that, his office did at 29.9% intrest from the date the account was charged off and get this, he gave me 10/25/06 for the charge off date.  LOL, I used the account up to December of 2006! I stated to him that his office was not licensed in the state of Oregon to pursue as legal counsel representing US Bank and I would wait to hear from an Oregon licensed attorney.  He stated "I'll see you in court then!" and then hung up!

I am going to let this ride for now and see who buys it from NAA AKA Law Office of Scott Caruthers!

A local attorney had me served at work yesterday.  It looks like they are using other law firms to do all of the dirty work for them.

Hmm, not sure who wrote the 5/12/2009 posts, but it wasnt me (I am the same Nicole from November).  I ended up settleing the account for $400 something a couple months ago.  That office began calling me non-stop and the guy I spoke too was always rude.  I paid it just to stop the calls!  I sent the payment certified and have the clearing proof to prove it.  I sent everything to all three credit agencies and it is now off my credit report.  THANK GOD!!
