I just got a call from that number saying I took out a loan and he wants to help me but can't send me any paper work showing where I took out the loan

844-557-1424 scammers for serving

Did it ever occur to you that they could be calling the wrong number? Who is IAG? Somthing is wrong with you.

I think your hateful tone is unjust. Read Mr. I have been on my credit report and they are not on it and I have called my bank and they never deposited any money. I never applied and at the time I was on a military deployment that they say I asked for a loan. They also told me I needed to be a man and pay my debt and stop lying. So FRAUD is what it is Mr. So zip it!

Chebat, Central Portfolio, the list goes on and on.

You have two options:

A) Pay a loan that you do not owe--the deal is that they will keep on trying to collect. So if yo pay one company they will simply "sell" your name to another. In other works you are a mark for their game.

B) Take action as fast as you can by contacting your own state attorney general's office--these people are licensed only in MN and are not legally permitted to operate this kind of activity. You must also contact the MN Attorney General's Office.

The smart thing to do is option 2. Since paying these people will not make them go away--they are part of a ring of collectors who frequently operate their phones from inside prisons.

I hired an attorney (Texas). We have managed to stop them and are presently serving their various operations in Amherst, NY, Oklahoma, Florida and of course in MN. Since the recovery is now considerable and we have identified assets related to several of the players I am not on a contingency basis. The original retainer was $800.00 but will be applied to the recovery.

So if you want to take action now is the time.

I worked for IAG aka International Asset Group for 4 months before I got the hell out of there. They treated us like crap if we didnt say what we were told to say on the phone. They basically had us calling debtors from spoof numbers that they change every month pretending that we were process servers that were going to serve them. We then had to tell them that they could stop the papers from being served by simply calling IAG and setting up some payments with them. We were told to tell the debtors that we as process servers would allow them a few days before the papers were served so they could pay the debt. But if not we would come to their workplace or home to serve them papers. The place is overun with drug addicts and criminals trying to out do eachother for first place on the leaderboard.  Thank god I'm out of there with my dignity and before they wind up on Dateline or CNN.

Contact the New York Attorney General's Office put these guys where they belong!


IAG International asset group is a 3rd party. If you had any payday loans call them and see whot hey sold your debt to. Mine was sold to NCA National credit adjustors in Hutchinson KS. I was finally able to get out of them that they OWN the debt and they sent it to IAG to work. IAG does not own the debt. If you get any calls make sure you send the a Validation letter with a Cease and Desist. Here are some address for IAG

PO BOX 623
Amherst NY 14226

1800 Hertel Avenue
Buffalo NY 14216

I saw someone else post an address of 495 Commerce Drive in Amherst New York. I tried sending Validation letters to all of them but Im still receiving calls from IAG under area code 713. This female left a message that she was going to serve me a legal affidavit and I needed to be home or else...no one ever showed up. I guess sending the cease & desist letters were irrelavant. "If they're willing to lie about papers being served and bench warrants being issued I should've guessed they would disregard the FDCPA. They are using a router because the phone number that showed up was Proactive at the Galleria in Houston TX. I spoke to the store manager and no one from their store called out. The manager is filing a complaint with the local authorities as well as the FBI, and FTC since they are using a router to show another number. so if you Get a call from that number listed for proactive call the manager and speak to her about it.

As for IAG here is the following information I retrieved after lookinng into this company.
their FEIN number is 271516190... they are organized under laws of New york state. Principal office add 1800 Hertel Ave Buffalo NY 14216.(yes that dingy old house - google the address ) They use Mayfield Document Services as their registered agent in Texas. 10943 mayfield rd houston tx 77043
Primary organization is WNYC, LLC Name of governing person John H Chebat 39 Mona Drive Snyder(Amherst) NY 14226 however this address shows another person Danielle Serio. You can obtain all the information on companies and debtors. Look at your business searches under your Secretary of State

Hey Judiann, I suggest that YOU get your facts straight before posting all sorts of lies.  If indeed NCA does own these payday loan debts then it is up to them to send out paperwork via us postal mail stating that they have sold the debt to IAG.  Under the Fair Debt Collection ACT a company has five business days after the initial telephone contact to send an invoice via mail.  None of these so called debt collectors can seem to come up with any paperwork with proof of the debt owed.  If they have to resort to calling people from private or spoofed phone numbers claiming to be process servers that is a red flag right there.  It is the debt collectors who are responsible for the paperwork if they feel they have the right to collect on the debt.  Making threatening phone calls to scare people into paying whatever they want is illegal.

Who owns this phone number?

I ADVISE ALL OF YOU TO KNOW YOUR FACTS BEFORE POSTING! NOT ONLY IS IAG A LEGITIMATE COMPANY 80% OF THERE ACCOUNTS COME FROM A COMPANY BY THE NAME OF NCA (NATIONAL CREDIT ADJUSTERS) WHO ARE BASED OUT OF KS. IF YOU THINK YOU ARE BEING SCAMED CHECK YOUR CREDIT REPORT  THE NCA TRADELINE WILL BE THERE AS A COLLECTION ACCOUNT. IF YOUR RECEIVING CALLS FROM IAG VERIFY WITH NCA IF IN FACT THEY LEGALLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO COLLECT ON YOUR DEBT. AS FAR AS THREATS.. ITS ONLY A THREAT IF THE OWNER OF THE ACCOUNT HAS NO LEGAL RIGHT TO TAKE YOU TO COURT SINCE ACCOUNTS ARE OWNED BY NCA THEY DO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SUE YOU UNDER YOUR ORIGINAL CONTRACT TERMS. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST OF LUCK I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU TRY TO LOCATE YOUR ORIGINAL PAPER WORK FROM WHICH EVER COMPANY YOU RECEIVED MONEY FROM NOT ONLY DID YOU GIVE THEM PERMISSION TO "SELL" YOUR INFO YOU ALSO AGREED TO THE FACT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LEGAL FEES THE FILING PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR... AND IF YOU THINK YOU CANT BE SUED IF THERE IN ANOTHER STATE I ADVISE YOU GOOGLE FOREIGN JUDGMENT!!!! BEST WISHES DEBTORS!

Don't worry.  They are a scam.  If they were legit then they would have no problem giving you the information you requested.  By law they have to provide you proof of the debt in writing including dates, amount, and original creditor.  There is nothing they can do.  They are phishing for people's information.  Do not give them any information! Many will ask for your address so they can serve the papers, but if they were legit they would already have that information. Get as much information as possible from them. Ask for proof of the debt in writing, the caller's name, company address, and phone number.  Also ask for the caller's supervisor's name and phone number.  Also ask for the case docket number and the county and state it is filed in and then call the police in that county and file a police report.  Most of these scammers will hang up the second you start asking these questions.  If you are able to get this information then file a complaint with the FTC and your attorney general. They called me the other day and left a message on my phone and my mom's.  I'm hoping they do call, I've began to enjoy the calls, because I love messing with them. Mess with them enough and they quit calling.  Being informed is your best weapon.  Once they get a hold of a person that is informed they won't call anymore.  Google "how to deal with scam calls".  I'm sure you'll find some good info.  Also look up the payday loan laws for your state.  They cannot threaten you with jail or a suit to get you to pay them money.  Take a breath.  They can't touch you.

Ok so I have spent most of my day panicking about this same phone call where some random blocked number calls my cell and tells me I'm being served and asks for my address. I get the case number and phone number and it's IAG. Mr. Mark Bowers tells me I'm being sued for fraud and embezzlement for a payday loan that bounced. He had the last four of my social, the bank I used to use in 2006 and tells me they want $380 or he'll sue me for fraud. I have no idea what he is talking about and ask him for the original date of the loan, bounced check or any other info. He told me that if he had to produce the paperwork the company would do it in front of a magestrate and they would go after me for $1500 + attorney's fees! I was going through a MAJOR divorce in 2006 so things are really fuzzy for that time. I lived in Utah and the Payday company (Quik Payday) went out of business for illegal practices. Then I moved to Colorado in April 2006 (still no recollection of actually getting this payday loan). Then my bank went out of business 3 years ago. I have no way to confirm with the original creditor and no way to verify with my bank that I bounced a check! Near as I can tell he is not licensed to do business in Colorado or Utah and I have spent a full day looking this stuff up on the internet. I'm still not sure what I should do, but I have contacted 3 attorneys to find out what they suggest. I'm sick to my stomach! Has anyone here done anything since being contacted by this company? Has the company continued to harrass you?

I looked it up, they are registered.

CONTACT YOUR ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE THIS IS A SCAM AND ALSO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE FTC AT FTC.GOV

THIS COMPANY IS NOT REGISTERED TO DO BUSINESS IN NEW YORK. THE PEOPLE CLAIMING TO RUN IAG ARE FRAUDS. IF YOU ARE CONTACTED BY INTERNATIONAL ASSET GROUP?IMMEDIATELY CONTACT THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL?S OFFICE, BUFFALO REGIONAL OFFICE: 716.853.8400. KEEP RECORDS, TAKE NOTES, DIVULGE NO INFORMATION, KEEP ANY PHONE RECORDINGS AS EVIDENCE.

OMG this happened to me today!!  I was freaking out.  they called my mom and home and work!  I gave them my debit card information so after reading all of this I cancelled that card!  Thnk you for your post!!!

Got a voicemail from a "Charles Hamilton" leaving that phone number . Says I am part of a pending civil suit. Mentioned my mothers name (of whome I do not have contact with) and left a case # 271-008-cj.

Civil cases are CV. CJ is not a case type. Also that case number is invalid. I looked in several databases and find nothing.

But, I have two other phone calls from people, leaving phone numbers 877-404-7754 and 877-449-8190. all claming the same thing. Have my HOME address as my place of employment (I do not work) somehow have my home phone number, and gave me case numbers of 221008 and 271008.
The names so far are

Frank Shaw
Charles Hamilton
and
Crystal.

No date or time of when these people are calling.

Oddly enough, someone let my dog out the other day at 4am and left the gate wide open. He was going crazy all night trying to get through the front door! and I have a USPS certified mail slip, with a FALSE article number on it.

If this is a scam its going to be serious, because I have a perminent order of protection against my mom. Im not a party to any civil suits and you dont serve people through voicemail either. If your a SCAM I WILL FIND YOU AND MAKE SURE YOU GO TO FEDERAL PRISON

I work in the legal field, in the CIVIL LAW area.

8/28/10
When I called them this morning they asked for the last 4 numbers of my social security number. Claim they no longer has my file in there office and that they had to retreive the hard copy.
I did a call trace and the 877-449-1748 came from a local colorado springs number of 390-6455 with an address of 335 flemming st , colorado springs co 80911. I called and there was a real lady, who was in bed. Sounds like the crystal gal.
When I called 877-404-7754 I talked to Thomas who said he worked for IAG (international asset group) he transferred me to the so called case manager known as Daniel. I refused to give my social so he refused to give me any info, tried to turn it around on me that I was fruadulently trying to obtain someones personal info. I proceeded to tell them that I dont owe anyone money, and you dont serve a person with fake case numbers over their voicemail and furthermore, I am deffinently not a party to a civil suit with my mother considering I have a PERMINENT protection order against the BIT&& for the past 4 years and that civil cases are not CJ they are CV. I told them I was going to report them to the local police, that I saved their voice mails, and the FTC, homeland security, the FBI and the States Attorney Generals office.

He hung up on me.


Point is, its very easy to type in a persons name on intellius find who they are related to and then call around saying your a party to a civil suit. This is a scam all the way!!!!!

I had received a letter from this AIG company about 1.5 months ago, called and left them a nasty message not to ever communicate with me and that they will not get a dime. It was payaig.com or something to that effect. I have the voicemails saved and the call traces saved. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY THEY ARE SCAM ARTISTS !!!!!!

I can only hope this comes up in GOOGLE as the top post! PLEASE PROTECT YOURSELVES!

I also get a call from this company and left me a detailed voicemail saying they are sending me a court documents to sign for a loan that I had with CashNet. I am glad I found this website. I thought these people are legitimate and they are going to put me in jail.

these people called my brother and said i was in trouble and that i was going to jail for bank fraud against a loan co. but i never had a bank account nor have i had a loan and these same people called my house and said the same freakin thing about my husband so now im thinking all they trying to do is scam us the last time i told them to serve the papers and no one nerver show and this was almost two yrs ago and now the same bull s*** is coming back up all over again i contact the att general off in my state they said its nothing they can do and im wondering why is that can they get away with harrassing people over the phone .and these people is not legit they are some people who trying to milk money from people who dont have it..... they can go to hell and kiss my blach a**.................

My wife recieved the same type of message yesterday saying my wife and I were being served papers. When we called the number provided a man said they were not interested in us, but our grown son. Apparently, my son took out a payday loan sometime ago.
This a scam and proablly violates laws pertaining to methods used to recover a debt.I will contact the attorney general in our state.

I'm with on this well my husband didn't apply for no loan with the payday company any\d they are crazy I'm in the process of filing a complaint with ftc.gov and will do the same with my attrny general. the number this company called from is 1877 287 3204...they pulled my husband credit and seen I was a spouse on his credit report and they also pulled my and its shows as a credit inquiry and I didnt give them permission to pull my credit. and they are now harrassing me stating I took the loan out in my husbands name and that they are going to take me to court too.  He left a voice message on my phone that he would be at my house today with a summons @ 6p.m. and I should have my I.D available as well as my husband...I'm ready for them to come to my house. They are just a bouch of low people that harrass people and some people fall for but I want. I work and debt settlement and I know what these idots do.  People please don't fall for these people s***.

The companies name is IAG aka International Asset Group. Formally known as Western New York Capital. I recieved the same call yesterday. The man told me that I was being served court papers and that I needed to call this 800 number and ext # back to discuss my case. Meanwhile the same man called my sister in NC and told her that I was filing suit against her and "what kind of sister do have that would do that and dont dont act dumd when I show up to your door in two days"  Then called my mother and told her that I was filing assualt charges on her!!!!!!!  I called back (scared to death) and funny thing was when I called I was talking to the same exact man that was supposedly riding around Delaware (where I live) looking for me.  Mind you the office is in Amherst, NY. He went on to tell me that they were prosecuting me on charges for Bank Fraud and embezzellment. I had a loan with CashNetUsa in the amount of 400.00.  And that because the funds were not available in my account to pay back, it was writing a bad check. He needed a credit card number to pay $3400.00 immediatley or I would be served the papers. I explained to him that I didnt have it..so he dropped it to $1200.  Told him again I didnt have that kind of money.  So he then said he could take no less than $810.11. I asked why it was so much since I only borrowed $400. He said it was interest, court fees, and other fees.  I got off the phone and immediately thought something wasnt right.  I started researching...this is a real company.  Problem is...they are scamming a lot of people.  My story is the same as everyone elses. The company Western New York Capital address is 1800 Hertel Ave., Buffalo NY 14216.  The owner of that company is John Chebat.  Out of curiosity...I tracked there IP address from the email letter I was sent by them...which is payiag.com.  It came up private...Hmmm. But i sent a test email to Johnchebat@payiag.com.  It went thru.  I did a check on John Chebat at 411.com.  It came up the 1800 Hertel Ave address.  I google mapped it.  It is a dumpy house in New York. Huge RED FLAG!!  So I back tracked and called Cashnet and they gave me a number to who my acct was sold to...I called they sold it to another...so I called...the last one was to this IAG.  They told me this is a real company. I told them about what was going on and she told me they have broken every law concerning debt collecting there is.  I have in the meantime contacted an attorney and they are all over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  LAWSUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I also contacted my states Attorney Generals office. If this is happening to you....I suggest you do the same.  It is against the law to threaten you with jail time....harrass...call family or anyone else with lies....or demand anymore money than what is owed (unless they have filed with the court, then court fees but not over 2000.00 worth) They need to be stopped.

Got the same message here.  Going to call the Attorney General's office tomorrow and put a consumer fraud notice out.  These people are sick.

they called all of my cell phone numbers as well as sent a fax requesting my information to my workplace...they ladies name was crystal and said i was going to be served in a civil suit..in mo we have a website where you can look up lawsuits, of course nothing comes up under my name...this is a scam

I got a phone call twice from an Adam and I have asked what it is about and all he can tell me is that he has a legal document in front of him and he would get fired if he opened my mail.  Then he said that I am being sued and to stop the papers I need to call the number.  Then he said that I have to sign something but he is in New York and I am on the other side of the US. What in the world?

Sorry, I forgot to add that this is the phone # left in the mesage from this guy. That was how I was able to check on this site to see who it was.

I received a very mean threatening call from a "private" number who left a message. He identified himself as "Tony" and asked for me by name. He said he was a "currier" or "carrier" and he had legal papers to serve me with. He said I was being sued and was required to give an affidavit. He said this was a "courtesy call" and that he would call back on Monday May 24 and I had "better make yourself available". He did not identify the company, nor did he identify who was suing me, he left a "case #", but no other information. His message frightened me as well as my 9 yr old son. I have no idea who this might be, nor can I think of anyone who would su me. I have been on disability for the last 8/9 yrs for MS, and most of my former creditors charged off what I owed. How can I find out about this? My son is scared to death, he thinks someone is going to put me in jail.

I received a call from this number. He said he was a carrier and that I am being sued. He said I have to give an affidavit and I had better make myself available on Monday etc. He was pretty threatening and I have no idea what or who he is talking about. I have no idea who this could be, what company they are talking about or anything. Who are these people? What do they want? Can they threaten people like this without identifying themselves.

THEY SAY TRHEY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE i'VE NEVER HEARD OF. i CALL THE NUMBER WITH THE CASE NUMBER ,THEY SAY THAT THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO CAILLED IS A PROCESSOR. i WANNA KNOW iF i'M BEING CHARGED FOR THE CALL WHEN i CALL BACK. iS THAT THE SCAM?

who are these people??
