.......

They are suing me also! Just got served court papers last Friday!

"Its imperitive that you contact us today" these are 2 violations inregards to the FDCPA,,,if that was left on a voicemail u might want to contact someone and maybe sue them

Someone keeps leaving message that are say I have an urgent matter.  This is a scam!

BE ADVISED....ALL COLLECTION AGENCIES MUST BE LICENSED IN THE STATE YOU LIVE IN.
THEY ALSO MUST HAVE A STATE SALES TAX NUMBER, AND STATE /COUNTY BUSINESS LICENSE IN YOUR STATE, TO ATTEMPT TO COLLECT A DEBT FROM YOU IN YOUR STATE.

THEY ALSO MUST BE LICENSED THE SAME WAY IN THEIR HOME STATE OF NEVADA. 99%
OF ALL COLLECTION AGENCIES ARE ONLY LEGALLY LICENSED IN THEIR HOME STATE AND NOT LICENSED AT ALL IN THE OTHER STATES THEY ARE CALLING. (UNLICENSED ACTIVITY)

FOR A COLLECTION AGENCY TO FORCIBLY  COLLECT A DEBT IN YOUR STATE , THE COLLECTION AGENCY MUST HIRE A LAWYER IN YOUR  STATE TO FORCE A LEGAL COLLECTION ATTEMPT THRU THE COURT IN YOUR STATE TO GET A JUDGEMENT. . THIS IS CALLED DUE PROCESS, UNDER THE  LAW IN (YOUR) EACH STATE. IF THE COLLECTION AGENCY IS UNLICENSED IN YOUR STATE, THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED (STATE LAW)TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY (LAWYER) TO SUE YOU.

Have been getting calls from this number.  Last week it was "Liz."  Today it was "Lenny White."  Based on the other posts about this number, I am not going to call them back.

That's the problem with this country... "Oh Big Brother please help me..."  

So my tax dollars should go towards preventing phone scammers?  Thats a joke.  People overextend their credit, default on loans, put their personal information on a jillion websites, some scam artist gets a hold of it and you want the government to help you?  WTF?  Help yourself DB.

"The government shouldn't do for the people what the people should do for themselves."

I was really freaked out when I first started getting calls from a Russell this past September (I really don't care if he monitors this site as he doesn't even have a real job) telling me a matter "may or may not concern me". I quickly looked it up and found it was a scam as I have a great financial history and these people would have no reason to call me.

They must think we're stupid, because he's been calling several times a week leaving similar messages up until today. I blocked the 401 area code number he's been calling one, but it turns out he calls from a different one everytime. I've reported these calls to the FCC, but these mean are scammers for sure. I just delete the message as soon as it comes up on my voicemail.

I want them to stop calling

I actually just posted a message, and when I submitted it I landed on your post....Same guy is calling me. I am NOT in Nevada, however. Read my post and see if it sounds like the same guy. Any advice on how/where to look into this and get him to buzz off would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe

PEOPLE WISE UP ABOUT POSTING THEIR "NAMES!" They clearly monitor this site. With that said, if you post their "names" that may give them an edge to find out more information about you - perhaps they work different lists with different "names" in efforts to narrow people down? If it's a small group of  collectors/attorneys, they probably have several lists of consumers and use a different "name" for each one. When you talk about specific events pertinent to your story, it helps them identify you. Just a thought......Anyway, we'll call the guy that's nagging me "Turd." For several months, and almost EVERY DAY Turd has been calling me and consistently leaves messages. I have never spoke to "Turd" because I have 3 items in collection and assumed it was a debt-collector - looks like I was right...."Turd"is slick. It's ALWAYS "Turd" as far as I know - no one else ever tried to call. By the way, has anyone noticed that they don't use the verbiage "this is an attempt to collect debt, any information gathered will be used to do so" on their messages? Isn't that ILLEGAL??? "Turd's" always very friendly and casual, but with a slight sense of urgency in his messages. But very cryptic as well - it's almost like he's trying to intrigue me to call back because he has something extremely awesome to tell me, like I have a rich great uncle that croaked, and I'm the only heir!!!

Received a call from "Russell". Says that he's been attempting to contact me for quite some time now, but he didn't mention who he was looking for.  Based on the information on this website, I'm definitely not going to call back.  I did read on this website http://www.fid.state.nv.us/New_EnforcementActions.htm  there was an order to cease and desist the practice of debt collection for multiple reasons, however that cease and desist order was only for the state of Nevada.  

Don't call these people back and DO NOT try to "work things out" and send money.  According to the cease and desist order, they are NOT a debt collector..

Russell has been calling me too regarding "a matter which may or may not concern me." Wtf? I haven't callwed back as I get shady calls all the time for some reason and don't even bother answering my phone unless I know who it is. This guy is equally as shady, I have no debt other than credit card bills which I'm far from being behind on. And I'm young enough to say I don't have any financial history that couldn't caused this call. I'm not calling back, this is just sketchy to me. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

I got a call today 8/26/11 around 1:30 our time from a Russell of the Frontier Financial Group saying the same thing that other people got.  He called me at my job.We should report him to the authorities so he stops harassing people.  Don't ever ever submit to this kind of calls. Don't even answer them.

Can these people stop calling send put bills. I'm sick of ffg calling me demanding me give money

Russel from Frontier Financial Group leaves a message from random local phone numbers quite often saying I may be associated with a file. I received a call at 9:20pm last night. No one would respond when I answered or called back. I suspect this call was associated with these people. He has left messages to call 1 (877) 683-5486. Sounds like a bottom of the barrel debt collector.

I received a call from lenny saying there in Pennsylvania know my information want money for a credit card I owe but, yet they didn't wana listen to anything I said they wanted was my card info I know I owe but, if I get bills I will pay no problem. What can I do?

I keep getting these calls from Russell at this number and he says it is about a matter that may or may not involve me and that he will explain a bit more when I call.  It is always the same message, from Frontier Financial Group.  I never call back.  How do I make this go away?

Tired of Russell from Frontier 1-877-683-5486, calling every day, it has reached harassment levels. How can this be reported to authorities?

Thank you.  That's the exact same message they left at the office.  I was suspicious when he wouldn't give more info than it may or may not involve you.  Nope...........not gonna call him back.  Sorry RUSSELL.

Same thing from Russel.  Keeps bothering me with messages.  Frontier Financial is a b***s*** scam do not give them any information if you value your identity and privacy.

I received the same message, "Hi, this is Russel from Frontier Financial Group, please call me regarding may or may not affect you,You can reach me at 1(877) 683-5486 and I'll explain a bit further. Again, the number is, 1(877) 683-5486."

My caller ID reports it was received from 1-651-829-6338.  I have never missed a bill in my life, so maybe it's one of Tim Pawlenty's campaign crafty fundraisers.

I get the exact same message, verbatim, a couple of times a week. I have the number blocked. It is making me mad. "This is Russell from Frontier Communications. I am calling regarding an incident which may or may not affect you. Please give me a call and I will tell you the specifics of the incident. BLAH BLAH HORSE SH*T BLAH BLAH!" What I find interesting is that he never says who the EFF he is calling for. Suspicious.
I blocked the number, but it just sends it straight to voicemail. So I still have to listen to ignorant, annoying Russell.
GGRRR . . .

I got today a somehow intimidatory phone message from RUSSELL from FRONTIER, saying that it was an urgent and important matter that I better called them back.

I don't owe anything to anybody, but I thought of calling them back, and someone by the name of LINDSEY answered, but I immediately hung up the phone as I was simultaneously reading this post and realized it was a scam.

Thank you!!

RUSSELL FROM FRONTIER, TELEPHONE 1-877-683-5486 should be reported to the Police.

I too have had the exact same experience with multiple messages on my answering machine. I never called back because the message sounded so fake.  I finally gave in and tried to call today and discovered this website.  Thanks!

I just got the same exactly crap. Same name Russel. The website is fake. Never give out personal infor. on the phone. I just delete the voicemeils. It's a scam. Do not trust. I wish the damn gov't would do something about these jerks.

This number is calling people in my building that I don't know asking if they know me. Calling other family members harassing them. I have tried to work out a payment they won't take it. What do I do?

OMGOODNESS!!!
I thought I was probably the only one getting this, I just had a call from them @ 1:47 today, with my surround area codes. This is the second time that I've gotten this call, so I decided to look up the number and came upon this blog... I'm very surprise that a lot of you guys have gotten this call also.
Well thanks to whoever posted this blog up...
Beside I never like to pick up calls from ppl that I certainly don't recognized or know.

It looks to me like a scam, if you look from the 877 number compare to the others, it looks just the same as you got. " Just a thought".
