My daughter came to me and told me that a company PCS was calling her about check fruad. They said she wrote bad checks. I asked her to tell me how long this been going on and she said about two years. She did what they asked her to do, That was to set up a moneycard and call them back and give them the # on the card. She said they scared her when they said she was going to get some prision time if she didn't pay. My daughter said she asked them for a address and they said they don't take payment thur the mail. She was putting money on the card and they would take it off. I told her don't put another penny on this card. I told her to give me the number and of course it was 877-626-6581. They have caller ID and everything cause I called them to find about why you can't give a address and they called my name and I never told them. They kept on saying we don't take payments in the mail. I was so darn mad at this point I use a few choice words and she told me I was being recorded and of course i didn't give a d__. At this point they started switching lines putting me on hold. I told this lady I don't give a sweet s*** if you don't take payment thur the mail I want a address they finally gave me PCS 3381 SHERIDEN DR.,STE.316, AMHERSH,  N.Y. 14226  IT DON'T EXIST.

I got a call from this number by a Patricia walker claiming    I owe 2000 for a 200 $ loan from 2 years ago. First she said she was a lawyer when she called my job then she says to me that I have to give her my bank account and pay before she takes me to court. Then I ask her for  certiafied letter contains the info and she pretty  says money first. Then she says she isn't an attorney but represent one. I ask her why she sad she was an attorney and she claims she never said that and started calling e a liar.  I look up the company name which is prime check services inc and the only thing I can find is a set of complaints but the BBB has no other info.

I received a call today from this same number (877-626-6581), stating I owe on an overdue loan.  I paid this loan off over a year ago and I am still receiving calls of harrassment, saying I will be procecuted or I will be sent to jail, pretty much the same stuff as others have stated.  This company or so called company needs to be stopped from harrassing people.  Can't the government do something about this???

I received a call from 877-626-6581, ext. 311, a firm called PCF. The caller was named Lisa Morgan. They said they wanted me to call them back or have my lawyer call them about a check fraud. If I didn't call back, they'd refer the matter to my local county for prosecution. They claimed to be a law office when I called back. Turns out it was about a loan from Fast Backs, a rotten payday loan company that uses all kinds of underhanded means to collect. Because of catastrophic medical bills, I did default on the loan. Fastbucks wrote a check and presented it at my bank and collected $500. Now they want the rest of the money, $289. However, I had declared bankruptcy and they can't collect anything else from me. They have been notified. Meanwhile, we have to deal with the jerks from PCF who prey on innocent people as well as guilty ones like me. I will not be answering any more calls from PCF but I sure hope they don't call back because they can be prosecuted.

My boyfriend went through the same thing and now we got a call from aMandy Joshson she told me if we didn't pay this amount there would be a warrant out for his arrest and it's all ready been paid where do I go from here

Also I paid them on aweekly basis and the debt was paid off.  Now I'm still getting calls from Epsten Weinburg & Associates regarding the same loan.  I'm not giving any more money or debit card information

First they say it was a loan from 2004 ... that loans was Paid off through Asset Recovery Management .  Then he checks (Mr. Shepherd) the system and voila .. there are now 2 loans.  I'm getting a lawyer.  I'm tired of running around about this same crap.  I'm suing Epstein (Shepherd) and Asset Recovery management.

This man named Craig has been calling ex relatives of mine all over the state of La. Ok I called him as of 11-23-09 @ 830Pm and he was RUDE that's the best word I can use ... I asked him what kinda company was this he reply Armed so then I said ok can you tell me what that means he then went totally off on me just cause I questioned the company. Told me that he needs to kow who I was I said no if you won't tell me about the company why would I give you personal info about me...it doesn't work that way. Then he preceeded to speak to me in a NASTY tone so after he stated his words I told him go to hell and hung up. I donot appreicate someone calling people I don't even speak to anymore getting them up nd saying I am involved in a computer scam that is a lie and if I knew him i would surely take him to court for that remark.I work along aside law enforcement and I don't like that. I hope that someone contacts him and tell him about "professionalism" & how to conduct himself on a phone. His name is Craig extension is 306 @ 8776266581. Please take control of how your staff does business this is to whomever operates that business.
thank you!

got a call today from this number and the guy was so rude, he said 'you are a grown woman and should know your responsibiblies", probably hoping i would call back furious at that statement trying to demean me as a human being ...by in fact not being one himself...anyway i'm sure it's a payday loan thing, i dont know, but they dont have to be so rude

Collection agency presenting self as an attorney office. Called employer and disclosed confidential information about me and asked my boss to call them. Person names J. Harris

caller ID shows # as: 404-239-2601; the vm message they left was for someone I don't know and the call back number left was: 877-626-6581 ext 301; the message sounded like it was for a debt collection

If debt collectors are calling you all the time, that's called harrassment. It's against the law, it?s called the FDCPA. There are lots of things they can't do, like tell anyone besides you about the debt, say that you're going to be arrested about it, pretend to be a law office, or even swear at you, as well as quite a few other things. The FTC has that information. I have filed two suits against these collectors and won them. I had used Mark Carey ant his phone number is 877-909-MARK.

I checked my VM today..and had messages from this crazy a** company 1 from Tetra Paden & 1 from a Ms. Escobedo all basically saying the same foolishness.  These messages were dated back in Feb...please give me a break.  Everytime they call, it's always somebody else leaving you a message.  They pass those lists around to the next person in the cubicle so that they can harass you next.  What is it a competition to see who can be the rudest person.  Have you noticed that while they are talking, it's like they are whispering or mumbling.  Please...what a joke this company is.  They are now going by ARMS Legal...they should be called A***oles R-US.

I got a call from this Mr. Hollinger after he called my family and threatened me with jail time for check fraud and all of this crap. He claims I have a payday loan from 2006 in Texas and that I had to pay. When asked if I could have original copies, there were none to be sent to me and he also called my family liars when they told me that he had said jail time as well. I have filed with the BBB against this company and have written the the West Virginia State Attorney General as well.

Received a message on my answering machine from "Mr. Hollinger". Initially recorded a side conversation regarding planting vegetables - then proceeding to say he has a legal matter he needs to "sit down and discuss before alerting the constables in <my town,state>". Most of the message was completely incomprehensible.

Call originated from 404-381-8221 - callback was to 877-626-6581.

Just as everyone else...the supposed "Tetra Paden" called me today stating the same junk, that I had taken out a payday loan and I owed them money.  I asked her when the loan was taken out and she said 2008.  I have not taken out these types of loans.  Later in the conversation, I asked her again the exact date the loan was taken, and she said 4/29/07.  I asked her why she said 2008 then 2007, and she said "Sir, 2007, 2008, it doesn't really matter, you owe money".  She said she is red-flagging my account and sending the police to serve me.  I just hung up on her.  She sounded very ghetto and unprofessional, which was my first sign that it was fraud.

Received 2 calls from 404-239-2607. First call: was asking for my family member first stating their name came up as a point of contact on a claim that was placed against myself and stated my first middle and last name. Then stated they had the right family member by reading back their fist 3 of ssn #.(how do they get such personal info on family members?) Then stated his name was Marc Burns said this was the processing claims dept and they delt with internet fraud and bad checks. Then said he needed me to call back at 1-877-626-6581 x307. & gave cliam # for me or my attorney to call back with. Then stated before sending this out to local county he wanted to speak w/ me   and get my side of the story and by the end of this investigation all of my vital info will be deleted from their system.
2nd call:This is marc burns by now you should have rec my message please give me a call back you or your attorney 877-626-6581 x307 we deal with internet and bad checks in my office and this is the origianl # of the claim that was in my office & then he named 2 of my family members names. Then stated please understand that my client will take next legal steps to ensure to protect their interests and that i needed to call them back. Then called right back  and was going to leave another message and realized he had the wrong #.. he was prob about to call someone else....said he had the wrong # and hung up.
All three calls were on the answering machine.

The same number called my parents house and said that it was urgent that I call them back or they were gonna press charges. I called the number back and the gentleman was very rude. He stated that I had committed internet fraud. He said that maybe I should go to jail and a whole bunch of mess. Then he acted like he had tracked my whereabouts and said that the police were coming 2 get me. I hung up on him. He calls back 2day and states 2 my sister it was check fraud and that the police will be coming 2 get me. I'm gonna report him. The number I was given was 877-626-6581 ext 310.

sorry the number is 877-626-6581 ext. 308  Mr. Harris

My husband and I have been receiving calls from a Mr. Harris from this number. Keeps stating that we need to pay a check fraud? We have no idea what it is about. He wont give us any information about who the debtor that we supposedly check fraud. Keeps threatening to put a warrant for our arrest. Can someone please tell me what company this would be for.

I started receiving phone calls indicating that I was involved in a possible internet fraud, since I have never done more than purchase items from reputable sites such as eBay or Amazon I disregarded the call.  The calls continue to come so out of fear of identity theft or some type of internet hacker using my identity I called back. I was shocked to learn this is some type of debit collector!  I tried to reason with the caller to inform him that if I can get some written information of the legitimacy of this debt as well as the name of the original creditor I will work to get it paid but so far the caller has been very rude, demanding and uncooperative.
 
To make matters worse now my friends are being harassed by the caller saying I am involved in internet fraud and the caller is indicating they may be involved through me!  This has freaked my friends out! I am assuring them I have no knowledge of internet fraud and have to explain the nature of the call. I don't have a name but his number is 877-626-6581 x323

I BEGAN RECIEVING THE SAME KIND OF CALLS OVER A YEAR AGO AND THEY JUST STARTED UP AGAIN THIS WEEK. THE CALLS LAST YEAR (OF WHICH I HAVE SOME RECOREDED WERE VERY THREATENING "IF YOU DO NOT CONTACT US SOMEONE VERY BAD COULD HAPPEN TO YOU" OR "WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING BAD HAPPENING TO YOU" SAME FOREIGN VOICE UP TO 8 DIFFERENT NAMES.
I AM REFERRING THE INFO TO AN ATTORNEY TOMORROW AS THIS COMPANY NOW CALLS MY HOME AND IS NOW CALLING MY WORK ASKING FOR MY SUPERVISOR AND LEAVING HER MESSAGES  TO PUT PRESSURE ON ME TO CALL AND PAY THEM. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO SEND ME IN WRITING, PROOF OF  WHO I AM SUPPOSE TO OWE  BUT NO SUCCESS. MY CONCERN NOW IS HOW TO GET THEM TO STOP CALLING AT WORK. WHEN VICTOR ROBERTSON CALLED TO DAY I TOLD HIM ALL OF MY CALLS ARE BEING RECORDING AND HE SAID OK AND HUNG UP.
I CALLED THE NUMBE GIVEN WHEN I GOT HOME AND THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED DID NOT GIVE A COMP NAME BUT STALLED WHEN I ASKED WHAT COMPANY I HAD REACHED.
WHEN I ASKED FOR ROBERT AND EXT HE STALLED AGAIN AND TOLD ME THAT WAS THE FRAUD INVESTIGATION LINE. I HUNG UP AND CALLED THE ATTORNEY.

I keep getting calls from this company and have asked that they please take me off their list, they are very rude and threatening even after explaining that I have a serious health problem, but they continue to keep call. The number on the caller ID shows 1-877-626-6581 ext 307 and today his name is Mr. Robinson, who by the way is the same voice but he changes his name each time he calls. I know will no longer answer when I see that number. I refuse to give this company any more attention, so let them waste their time, I cannot waste anymore of mine!!!

I also got a call from Mr. Mark Burns who was threatening and very hostile. The information he was spewing out was outdated and not relevant to today's date for I had left that establishment approximately (3) years ago.  Why is he calling me.  I will be filing a complaint with the FTC because he has been calling my friends and family and giving them wrong information about me.

Thank you so much--KoKo

Almost the exact same thing happened to me, except that he called my father in law and discussed my alleged debt in detail with my father in law. First of all, I did not have the alleged debt. Secondly, he is violating FDCPA if was collecting on a valid debt. This guy is a major scam artist and refused to send any debt validation via USPS mail. My advice: file a complaint with the FTC.

I received a call from Mark Burns who said his extention was 307 and # is 877-626-6581. He call from 404-239-2607 and said he did a background on my entire family. He read my social security # to me and my age and said he would use them to get a loan paid off by my daughter. He had all of my personal information and was very rude. I want to know how he obtained my(and my family) social security #s because this is serious to me and other family members.

Got a call from Mr. Hollinger about a payday loan from 2 years ago, well he said he could offer me a settlement i asked if he could send it to me in writing of course that was an issue because of the "time sensitive" of course he siad it was considered a bad check and that i don't want them to have to take me to court because its going to cost me more if they do blah, blah, blah.  I asked who the original debtor was and told him who he needed to call because i contacted them and they don't have any records of me and that it may be a scam because their records go all the way back to 1999 even if someone is turned over for collections.  He was furious, rude, asking was i still working, I said know haven't worked in two years (LOL), I told him I would get in touch with the payday loans corporate office and maybe we can all sit down and figure out what is really going on.

My mother received a call from this number today referring to a pay day loan I supposedly took out nearly two years ago.  Ironically, the date they cited was the day my daughter was born.  I was at the hospital from 10PM the night before until the following Tuesday.  I am not sure if this is some scam or if someone used my identity to get a payday loan.
