Mother got a call from 888-247-9639 saying that I needed to call about a case number in their office, and that "I had been warned".  The lady Karen Hall, or Candance Hall, did not give a name of the copany, just kept referring to it as a "firm".  Said they picked up a debt I have with a pay day loan store and was trying to collect the debt.  I asked them to give ma an address and they said they could not becuase of the work they do?  They do not have a website for me to check into. This is wierd.

Got a call from Courtney Wilson stating I had a claim against me and if I didn't pay that day they would send a summons to my house and work because I had charges against me.  I told the woman I didn't think it was my debt since I had never had any payday loans.  She told me I needed to pay anyways and collect the money from the original debtor in court where I could prove it was not my debt.  She told me they were criminal charges for fraud and bad check writing.  She told me that I had actually physically gone into a place (that was 500 miles from where I lived) and made payments on the loan.  I told her I NEVER went into any loan place and make any payment.  I went ahead and paid the 150.00 and then I found out they are scammers.  My credit card company is disputing the credit card charge and I found out from a lawyer that it is illegal for any payday loan to say there are criminal charges and a summons is being issued to you.  Payday loans have to sue in a civil suit, not with criminal charges.  So, not only was this not my debt but their scare tactics are illegal.  I will be contacting the attorney general for North Carolina.

Did they ever come? lol.

They keep calling me and my Dad claiming I have "criminal or civil charges" against me, but won't give me any information since I refuse to verify my dob, name or ss#. They refuse to give their address. They claim they have no fax number. They say they can't give their information out because the company they represent requests not to have their information out. What the heck?

I am furious they called my Dad, who was so upset when they told him I had "charges against me". He is not in the best of health and I'm trying to see how to file a suit against a company whom I have no concrete information on.

Can anyone please help?  they say they are Metro Mediation Firm 888-298-9860, and used a "locator calling himself Henry Adams.813-422-7939. He said there were charges filed against me and I must verify my information to him in order that they be able to serve "documents, regarding a criminal or civil matter." HA!

I got the same phone call from the SAME person, they called my main office, then my boss calls me saying she wanted to serve papers to me. This was embarrasing. I am 95% sure this is a collection scam.

These people called my husband at work looking for me. They told him I took out a payday loan and never paid it back. When I got home I saw That they had called the house number 6 times today.  I have NEVER taken out a payday loan!!! This has to be a scam. They said they are coming to serve me with charges. I will believe it when I see it.

If anyone else can give me some more info that would be great.

don't  forget  that   *  67      does  not  always  work !!!!      most  businesses and   companies  ( like   ebay  and  paypal  for  example)  pay  big  bucks  to  phone  companies and  networks  to  by-pass  the *  67  option..................as  do   hundreds  of  other  companies..........!!

so ,  if  you  use  * 67  and think  they  can't  see your    number or  who  is  calling  them...think  again !

For those of you that have received a call from 219-228-1259, I am looking for more information.  This is my business number and we are a home health agency in Indiana, not a debt collection or mediation agency.  I am at a loss as to who to report this so I can make it stop.  I have had this number since 2008.  Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  It has become a nightmare for my staff because some of the people that dial the number back don't believe that we have nothing to do with bill collecting.  It seems that some of the calls that people are getting are very threatening, once again, let me assure you that it is not Loving Hands.  I dialed the 888-247-9639 but the person I spoke to basically told me that she don't know what I am talking about and that all their calls are generated from the toll free number, she also told me that she couldn't control what was on the internet and there was nothing she could do to help me.  I also noted that when I called using *69, the call did not go through.  You cannot block your number before making the call.

Recieved a phone call @ 11:45 A.M. Today. Looking for My Ex-wife of 25 years. Staing they are a Mediation firm, and that Charges had been filed against her, and they needed to locate her to notify her. I asked if they were criminal, or civil, and they refused to answer. I know there is not Mediation iinvolved in Criminal proceeding's though. If there are they are between a District Attorney , and a Criminal Defense Lawyer, and do not involve any outside mediation firm.. I told them once again that I had no Contact, and havent for some 10 plus years. This is the Third time they have called me, about her stating that she had givin me for areference in the past. Funny thing is, whe the credit that had been granted, I was never contacted for a reference for her!!! I laugh in their Face!!! That is what you get for handing out credit without checking the References!!! Oh, by the way, I'll see you in Small Claims Court for Harrasing me about some one elses Debt!!!  I figure you and the Judge will see that you Owe me a Sum of $2,000.00 Dollar's For Continued Contact in Violation Of Californias Consumer Credit Collection Practices. For those of you who are being harrassed, you can find there information on where they can be served with small claims summonses by checking with your states dept. of public companies, and corporations. the have to list by law in order to conduct business in your state. They also have to list an address of where they will accept service of summonses, or who there agent is. Addenum: Have contacted an attorney. I have been informed that these calls are in regarard to a PayDay loan that had been taken out by ex, and not payed back. these people are a Scam, and are fly by night operators, amking it hard for federal investigators to track them. they skirt debt colletions practices by haveing people call from india, use disposable cell phones ect. Stay away from them, do not take thier call's, and most certainly co not reveal information to them. They Are A legitamate Scam!!!

Received a phone call from a local number several times on a Wednesday and then Thursday I answered and was told they were looking for me and wanted to verify my address at my place of employment and my residence so that they can serve a formal complaint to me.  I kept asking the caller who they were, who they worked for with no answers.  This person that contacted me kept asking me to verify who I was which I wouldn't because I know these phone calls are recorded.  I then hung up and the caller called back and left a voice mail.  The voice mail stated that I needed to call this 888 number with a case number provided in the message.  I attempted to call the number and it would not go through.  Strange thing of it though was that when I received all the calls on the previous day I tried to call the number back and I got a recording stating that it was not a valid number either.  These criminals are getting smarter and smarter everyday.  Luckily I am smarter than them (until they come up with another scam.)

I got this call too saying there was a summons.  when i called the 888 number i spoke with someone named james at ext 315 who was supposedly the manager.  he had all my info.  i said to email me or send letter to verify charges he said was unable to.  i think it may be a collections scam.  they obtain your personal info when you go online to apply for cash adv which i did in the past

I received a call from a local number about my roommate and was left with this number and a case number saying they were going to serve charges on her.  Is this a scam or for real. I was wondering how did they get my number and what this was about. Did anything happen with anyone on here?

I just received a call from a local number and was left this 888 number.  The man, named Spencer Lloyd said that he needed my home and work address to "serve" me with charges and then left a number for Metro, with some case number.  What kind of crock is this place anyway??  Says he was hired by this Metro place but he is calling me from a local number??
