This number left a voicemail stating that it was National Insurance Leads and I was receiving the message because I am listed as a licensed insurance professional.  I am a licensed insurance adjuster.  I don't know where they got my number but i'm not happy!

Also got a call Investigator Baker.  Said I was an aquaintance of an Alan Guerra and I was to give him a message regarding a court summons.

I also rcvd a rude threatening message on my cell phone and being that it was recorded, I immediately turned it over to my lawyer to investigate.

The message was from "investigator" Curry of Graham Noble. States he will have summons served at my home and place of employment and the sherrif will be out to get me.  They also scared other family members trying to get my information.  I also came online searching for info on them and so glad I was able to find other peoples experiences dealing with these mobsters.

It's now in my lawyer's hands and we will pursuit them until we drive them in the ground.

I got a phone call from them threatning to issue a warrent. And when I called back they asked for the case number. I gave them the case number that they have left on answering machine but the guy on the phone said the case number was not right and asked for social number. And of course I gave it to him. which was very stupid of me.  But later he said oh the phone call was supposed to be for somebody else.

I am scared. What should I do?

IF YOU DO OWE A DEBT...don't get mad, get even...and then file a complaint! Graham,Noble and Associates is a third-party collection agency that uses threats and other intimidation tactics (if you listen carefully when they leave a message, they are reading from a script) to collect on old, unpaid debts to which outrageous 'fees' are added to the original debt that can actually double the original amount you owe. This is the amount at which negotiations start, and they will offer to waive it if you pay the difference, which isn't a negociation at all. If you owe the debt, you can: 1. Get mad and get into a yelling match with them, after which they will hang upon you. Don't worry...they will call back, but eventually if you don't settle the debt, then you face a civil judgement for the full amount plus more fees.  2. Let them intimidate you and agree to the first offer they make you, or 3. Pretend to let them intimidate you as I did, and offer them a very small amount to settle. Hey...they're lying to you and have no integrity,so forget about playing fair with them. I SETTLED A DEBT IN EXCESS OF $20,000 FOR 10% OF INFLATED DEBT AMOUNT AND 20% OF ACTUAL. They hemmed and hawed and put me on hold, but they agreed.  I probably could have done better, but I DID owe it(two bouts with cancer almost bankrupted me at the time)although I didn't feel too guilty after the way they treated me.(But I never got upset with them because I had the upper hand, not them.) You can always start negociations at a lower percentage and see what happens;it can't hurt. It might also depend on how long they have been trying to collect from you. I waited about six months after their first nasty call to me, during which they
threatened to press criminal charges against me. Try to make a recording of any message that they leave you, or write down the message as accurately as you can and then send the tape or transcript along with a complaint letter to your state attorney,the attorney general, the BBB, etc. If anyone knows of other agencies, please send their names and addresses here!

tried to get me today - what a jerk.  but yeah, seems like they have all my info.

Grahm Nobel and Associates call me today about my sister-n-law stating they were trying to get in touch with my sister-n-law. The representative name was Randy Mason and he was taken back by how I answered the phone because I said What up! I asked him how did he have my name on file and why do they contact people this way. Of course he stumbled on his words and I really caught him off guard when I asked him how the hell was he calling in concern to a matter in Michigan when the caller Id shows him in Buffalo, New York? Then I told him that his s**t sounded like nephew tommy from the steve harvey show and I am one step ahead of him on the prank calling scheme. The funniest part was when he could not get any information out of me and wanted to know if I could get in contact with my sister-n-law. I told him he she talk to her and laughed at the idea of him sending a summons to her house or workplace for something that he never went in detail about. Kiss A**... Graham Nobel and A**holes!

I to received a call from these fakes they do not know the law fair debt,information gathering,solicitation ect they pulled up a 10 year old debt with incorrect info and stated he was resolving for me then working for the court then a federal law suit when I pissed him off he said he had to go to court he refused to give me id. I to am dissabled in bad health yet not stupid I called the ftc and turned them in notified the court they pretended to be from.  what a**es

GOT A CALL ON FRI. 2/27 FROM INVESTIGATOR MICHAEL BERNSTEIN (A BLACK MAN). HE LEFT A MESSAGE ON MY MACHINE STATING I MUST GET IN CONTACT WITH HIM WITHIN 48 HOURS OR I WOULD BE SERVED WITH A SUMMONS IN MY COUNTY. I CALLED BACK ON MON 3/2 I WAS TOLD IT WAS FROM A DEBT THAT I HAD FILED BANCRUPTCY ON BUT, I OPENED THE ACCOUNT WIHTIN 90 DAYS BEFORE I FILED WHICH THEY SAID WAS ILLEGAL. THE ADDRESS THEY HAD FOR ME WAS MY PARENTS WHICH I HAVE NOT LIVED AT SINCE 2001 THEY HAD ALSO CONTACTED MY EX HUSBANDS BROTHER AND HIS BROTHERS DAUGHTER TWO PEOPLE WHO I DON'T TALK TO A HAVE NOT SEEN IN MANY MANY YEARS, ANYWAY THEY STATED THE BILL IS LEGIT I ASKED THEM TO FILE PROOF HE SAID HE HAD MY FILE RIGHT THERE BUT, IT TOOK 20 MINUTES TO FAX AND IT WAS JUST A LETTER STATING I OWED 1967 BUT THEY WOULD ACCEPT 500 IN SETTLEMENT. I CALLED BACK AFTER RECEIVING THE FAX AND ASKED FOR MORE PROOF THEY CLAIMED I HAD MADE A PAYMENT IN 2006 THEY BUT ME ON HOLD CAME BACK AND SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO PROVIDE ME WITH ANYTHING AND WOULD TALK ONLY TO MY LAWYER, OR SHOW PROOF IN COURT. I HAVE SINCE CALLED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AFTER READING THIS WEBSITE AND I AM NOW WAITING FOR A RETURN CALL.

These people contacted my husband's EX IN-LAWS trying to find me by a previous last name.  They left messages on voicemails saying there was an investigation against me.  I finally called them-big mistake.  He was screaming and yelling at me about a credit card I had 7 yrs ago that I stopped paying because of a severe domestic situation.  He trie telling me that I made a payment in July 2005 when in fact, the last payment I made was in June 2002...SoL has already come and gone!!!  I explained to him the situation that my attorney had advised me what to do and this guy was telling me how stupid I was for listening to my attorney because he lied to me!!!  He kept yelling telling me he would be sending the sheriff to my house or place of employment to serve papers on me.  During the beginning of the call he only stated that the conversation was being recorded and mentioned nothing about being a debt collector and collecting information to resolve such matter.  When I told them they had contacted ppl that weren't my relatives he informed me that all they had to do was type in my information online and pull up anyone associated with me and said that they contacted those ppl because they didn't have a phone number or address for me.  At first I was scared to death but now, I have no worries...these ppl are just scammers!!!

I got a call from this guy trying to find a family member. He said he was an investigator with the county court, and had a summons number. Upon calling the courthouse, this isn't one of their summons numbers. They don't call people, but instead send a cop to your door. I'm sure that this is a debt collector, but was wondering if anyone know which one. When I googled the number, a couple of websites came up showing that others have had this happen to them as well.

these clowns called a family member with threats of my arrest/prosecution etc. i called the bar associations for erie county and ny state. they are not a law firm. they are fake. they are an underground collection agency, attempting to collect on debts that are beyond the statute of limitations. i kept them on the phone for over 40 minutes with a promise that i would like to give them my bank account number. i played like i was elderly and hard of hearing. as soon as i said bank account, you could almost see the "inpector''s drool through the phone. when they asked for my address, i spelled out 'sukamidyk street'. then asked the secretary to say it back to me. i couldn't hold my laughter any longer. it was a blast jerkin' these clowns around. they're not too bright. :)

Graham Noble & Associates now have a different telephone # 888-8312032 and their fax# 716-5078476..Investigator Tirado ext 131 called to collect a debt over 10 years old..I faxed them a cease and desist letter..only did it today will see in the future if they contiune to call

THXS FOR THE INFO, MY MOM JUST GOT A CALL, THEY SAID THE SHARIFF WOULD BE OUT TO GET ME, THEY LEFT A 3 DIGIT COURT CASE NUMBER WHEN I CALLED BACK THEY STATED THEY NEEDED A FULL 4 DIGIT CASE NUMBER, SO THEY ASKED FOR THE LAST 4 OF MY SS #. WHICH I GAVE THEM LIKE AN IDIOT, WHO CAN WE COMPLAIN TO?

this company is a collection agency. They do amy illegal things. My attorney knows who they are. Find a fair collection attorney and due them if they call and do illegal things.

I just posted. My typing was not good. Find a fair collection attorney and SUE these people if they call and do illegal things. They are a collection agency.

The New York attorney general is now trying to shut Grham, Noble and Associates down. My attorney in Texas  told me this. My attorney handles consumer debt collection problems. You can slo download articles on the internet on the attorney general shutting Graham Noble and Associates down. I am writing this note as of September 22, 2009. My attorney said this company is just about'dead in the water." Serves them right.I also got a call from these morons. THey called a lady I hardly know about my bill. My attorney said it is illegal for any collection company to call someone else about a person's bill. Most people who run bill collection comapanies are not very bright.  If they were so smart they would not pull all these illegal stunts which get themselves in trouble.

My husband and i recieved a phone call on dec 23,09 from "FGZ" who claimed to be a collection agency.  Paul Harris is the name of the man I spoke with, who threatened to take us to court and pile up court fees if we did not give him $850.00 to clear up this debt.  My husband gave him our credit card account number and he said we would recieve a statement in the mail after the 1st of the year.....we never recieved the statement, but see where our credit card has been charged, with no contact information.....for the exception of the name Graham-Noble Associate Buffalo NY......we are now in the process of disputing this claim with our credit card company, as the credit card is in my name only, and I did not authorize the use of my card in this matter.  This makes me extremely angry.  I knew deep down this had to be a scam by the way the company did not give out any information about themselves and the way they spoke to my husband and myself.  I did google the company, but FGZ was the comapny name we were given....BEWARE  THIS COMPANY ALSO GIVES THE NAME FGZ...

they have taken 1000$ out of our account over a 4 month period. my wife thought she was making good on a old credit card debt!!!! her friend at the bank starting looking into it and its freaking bogus. she is cancelling her account now. what action can we take. i cant even get a hold of the sob!!!!

we got a message from these clowns on our home machine regarding a case againt my father. i caled back and asked for details. "michael bernstein" from the law firm of graham & noble refused to give me details, but warned me that my father had to appear in court or be subject to a "writ of execution," adn told me tha t icodl get my informatin from my broterh (!!!) who was sent the paperwork. he also asked me to verify my father's social security number.
next stop  - the AGO.

This place has been calling for two years looking for someone with my name, but with a different SSN.  We have repeatedly asked them to stop calling and take our name off their list.

just a bill collector

GOT A CALL FROM MS HARRIS AT x10 NEEDS TO GET INTOUCH OR SHERRIFF WILL BE OUT IN 24 HRS.....I WAS SCARED AT FIRST BUT HENCE THE NET.....THANKS YOU ALL I BREATHE EASY THANKS TO ALL YOUR INFO....

They are not bill collectors. They are fooling people into giving out there bank account information through lies and intimidation. Do not be fooled by there threats. Continue your search online there is plenty of info out there about them (Graham Noble & Assoc). They use public records to get your name, address, and phone number. They will tell you that there are court cases, law suits, warrants, and jail time all coming your way unless you give them your personal info to help get the claim resolved. If they keep contacting you make sure you document the calls (record them if possible) and report them. They sometimes will get your family and neighbors phone numbers and call them with false claims about you. Good Luck!!!

They call and try and scare you family into giving them your info, the number that they call from is a VERIZON line (cell phone) don't know of any company calling from cell phones.  Then they have you call this 866-898-9255, and make you believe that there is a debt out there.  I will continue to investigate and post more info.  DONT GIVE OUT ANY OF YOUR INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!

My business got these jerks calling for one of my employees trying to get info using all the scams above except the debt collector routine. When he didn't get all the info he wanted "Investigator Bernstein" kept called back four times, first to my foreman and then I took the calls. When I didn't fall for the scam and called him on it he tried the yelling and screaming and trying to make sure that I couldn't get a word in. Real investigators of any real court do not behave in such assinine behavior, only telemarketors and scammers do. When he finally realized that I backed him in a cornor with intelligence and knowledge he gave up calling me back. Trust me, real investigators have full names, locations and ID or badge numbers, and the courts have county names and districts and they are specific with this information. Unfortunately it is a bitter lesson for my employee, and now I will make sure no one can get to any of my employees. My state attorney general gave the regular things to do to protect against identity theft, but he also said to make a police report so that if these parasites do try and use your ifo, you have proof to fight the credit companies. If any of you find a way to get to these slime balls I would love to know and give them some grief.

got a call also from them claiming to be investigating a criminal case against me.they have a lot of my information already.i haven't spoke with them.they left a message which i have saved.what sent out a red flag for me was he didn't say what kind of investigator he was.

Had a message on my answereing machine from noble graham & assoc. 716-836-4754. the message was for my former name (13 years ago) so I called to tell them they had the wrong "Jane Doe". Mistake  I called the 866-898-9255 "Officer" Berstein screamed and yelled at me terrible.  He did not let me tell him anything.  My sister who is hard of hearing heard him yelling throught the phone in the next room. He said it involved a subenea in Idaho.
he tried to trick me into giving him SS# but I didn't.  He was the most obnoxious person I ever talked to.  He said the police would be here in 10 minutes to serve a warrant on me.  they haven't come yet, but I will now call the Police, after reading all this and report him.

My sister-in-law received a call on her home phone. On her caller I.D. it read "Unknown caller" so she didn't answer since these calls are usually from telemarketers. But as she heard the message, "Investigator Bernstein" was leaving a very threatening message. My sister-in-law picked up the phone and he continued to harass her and threaten her.  That it was in her best interest to give me the message.  He was leaving a message not knowing whether indeed she was related to me or even new me. The message was saying that he was an "investigator" and that I had been summonsed and hadn't appeared in court and therefore I had a warrant out for my arrest. And that if I wanted to clear this matter I had to return his call immediately.  My sister-in-law immediately called me as she was very concerned.  Gave me the information that he had left including a "case #".  The telephone number he left was, (877)793-6742.  I called and a young female voice answered, I asked where I was calling and she said a "Law Office".  I asked for "Investigator Bernstein" he began with threats and was very intimidating, rude and obnoxious.  I don't know how he had my last four digits of my SS# which I was stupid enough to confirm.  I didn't only confirm them but I felt so intimidated and scared at the time that I was again, stupid enough to give him my bank acct info.! He was talking to me about a credit card that I had approximately 10 years ago and also mentioned the Bank name so I thought it was a legitimate call.  This credit card was cancelled and payed off long ago. It's been so long ago that not even my bank holds record of it. But what really got me was that he had all my correct information and basically what I did was just confirm it.  He in turn faxed over a letter to me which his name never appeared on (I have the letter) indicating that a certain amount would be automatically deducted from my bank account on a certain date.  It is signed by a, Paul Harris, Managing Member from Graham, Noble & Associates.  On the letter head is "THE OFFICE OF GRAHAM, NOBLE & ASSOCIATES LLC, 3411 Bailey Avenue, Suite #l, Buffalo, New York 14215, Toll Free #(866)898-9255, (716)836-1907, Fax: (716)836-4797. Since this incident I have contacted my bank and have changed my bank acct#.  I have also contacted my attorney and he is investigating and advised me what I had to do which is NOTHING! I am appalled to see how many people this "Investigator Bernstein" is trying to SCAM! THIS HAS TO STOP!  AND WE NEED TO STOP HIM! I WILL ALSO CONTACT THE AUTHORITIES A PLACE REPORT ON THESE SCAMMERS!

Well, I am so glad that you all have posted this info.  I also have been getting calls one day alone over 10, stupid me even gave my husband cell number out as he stated some info about our son.  We have found out info on HIM!  HE IS A SCAM!!!!  HE is MEAN and on and on.  He yells, but today he made a mistake and I have it on tape.  He mentioned the county our son used to live in, this was done in conversation ON TAPE pretending to be them.  WELL this time he went to far, one of our best friends DOES work for our state and his head of CRIMINAL JUSTICE DEPT!!!  So now I can stop him this way.  I called and talked to a woman, (she answered this time pretending to be his secretary!) telling her this.  Told her this time they went one step two far.
