Thank you Tamianth for posting information.  After receiving the call the first time, I have become more aware of potential scams.

I received a call from the same woman.  This time if was from another number supposedly originating in New York (instead of Virginia).  I was given another number to call -->  (855) or (885) 207-8173.

This time I asked a question about what County the case was filed.  I had to wait a few seconds while I heard her "ruffling" papers.  Shouldn't she know by now which County?  After all, she's called me twice!

When she told me the County's name, I informed her that she must have the wrong identity.  Then she wanted to have the last 4 numbers of social security verified.  Something fishy going on.  I guess it's exactly what it is...fishing.

Here's some more information for you!

Received call.  Woman left voicemail and said message was for "Jane Doe"  (my mother). There was a claim or something legal. Here's the part that raised an eyebrow:  the call was on my phone -- not my mom's.  My parents were probably targeted because they refinanced and have money in the bank.  I helped my parents with the paper work so I know what's in their credit reports.  I used my phone as contact for everything.  I know they don't have any write offs or debts to be collected. I help manage their account and go through their mail.

I called the company from my work number and a man answered. Yes, he did sound intimidating.  I didn't want to give the case number so he hung up on me.  I called again.  This time he said, "Ok, so this is the second call and I've got your number. I can't help you unless you give me the case number."  FInally, I said to him I don't understand why the company is calling me for my mom's business. So I said goodbye. My company has blocked its numbers.  Did he lie about knowing my number? Anyway, I googled Del Rey Capital and the company's phone number and got this site.

I'm writing hoping to add info for people searching for the truth.   I think this company is a scam.  My parents have not filed a lawsuit or have a case against them. They have no debts or charged off. I can't think of any reason why this company would have business with them.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

I received a call from this number stating I was inolved in a legal matter and to call back and they provided the name of a person I should ask for and a file reference #. This number even went to lengths stating I could call or have my attorney call. Sounded pretty important:) Not calling back. FRAUD.

THIS COMPANY CALLED ME AND SOME WOMAN, WHO DIDNT EVEN IDENTIFY HERSELF LEFT ME A RUDE VMAIL SAYING " I AM CONCERNED YOU WON'T CALL ME BACK. SOMEONE HAS USED YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER WITH YOUR EMAIL AND IT MAY BE FRAUD"  I CALLED BACK AND SOME GUY IS CLAIMING THERE IS A SUIT AGAINST ME OR SOMETHING. I JUST HUNG UP... FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD

That same person called me to and referenced my personal bank and wanted to talk to me about a recent transaction and she wanted to confirm this transaction and make me aware of the transaction. Thankfully after reading your post, I'm glad to know its a scam... I got nervous like it was real or something...

I received a call at my place of employment from a Ronald Shuh from Del Rey stating that I may have been a victim of fraud on my  Washington Mutual account , I told him I didn't now or ever had an account with Washington Mutual. He then proceeded to tell that he had a complaint from his client.This man never verified whether or not if I was the person he was trying to reach before he started telling me the problem. That should never take place. I told them to send me something in the mail. He then said that he needed to send me to his superior. I hung up. If they can't send you anything in the mail it is fraud. I won't discuss anything any further with this company. Lies, Lies, Fraudalent calls!!!!

I received many phone calls and messages from this number and they represented themselves as US Bank to not only me but everyone I know. If you get calls from this number saying they are a bank it is a lie! They have said many things that are lies, do not let them get away with it, report their lies and save any messages as proof.

Received a very threatening and aggressive message from a man stating to be Dan Max who indicated that he had mailed me legal notices and due to failure to respond he has returned my file to the attorney on the case Alan Winestein and left a file number for me to reference when I returned the call.  I was NEVER mailed any legal notices nor have any reason to be receiving such calls.  I will not be responding to this message.

These people called me on Nov.2013  claiming that I owe a credit company 1150.00 they wanted information I believe them to be fraud. Do not give them your information.

i fought on the phone they first left a voice message on home phone saying it was jessica drake from bank of america
looking for a certain person-i said i have no contact  she proceeded to say if you do not tell him or give him message then someone else would just call me- it was crazy    she did admit she got my name and number off the national data base and she had every legal right to call me-eventhough i have no contact with the person they were calling about

I received several messages from this number.  They first claimed to be from a bank where the account they referenced no longer exists, and the name they used was wrong, and they happened to have the last four digits of my SSN.  I called them back and spoke with someone claiming to be Antonio Patterson from Delray Capital and that they are a "pre-legal" firm. I told them that their number is widely associated with fraud and that I would be bringing (real) legal action against them should they continue to call me. Hang up on these crooks.

This number has been calling my wife and her assistant first asking for her social security number and then saying that they had filed a legal action against her.  They gave her a fictional case number and a different number to call back.  This is totally a phishing scheme.  If you get one of these calls, report it here: http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx

This number called my phone asking for my girlfriend sai it was important regarding her social and name and had legal papers for her to sign . I'm sure it's a scan or a debit collector or something to that nature but first off how did they get my number but don't have hers? When we have had the same numbers for ten years ! Together !!

This Richard Rodgers has left few messages saing he has forwarded some legal paperwork and wants to give me opportunity to resolve legal matters to please contact his secretary so she can send me e mail . I wish he would stop because I know other people might be intimidated by his strong voice, but not me , I've had enough of these people trying their scams..... Please let's get all together and try to stop this stupid abuse,,,,,,,,

People from this number continue to call my work phone, leaving very vague abrupt messages about my date of birth and an old email address.  If this were an actual professional business company they would not conduct business this way.

I don't understand why this fraud company keep calling me. I wish it would stop!
