Cutoff voicemail message that was automated then a man spoke; looking for someone unknown and left number.

Stated that I was deliquent on a debt, but would not provide me with evidence of the debt.

Called and stated it was a civil matter working with an atty. I asked for evidence of the debt but called wanted my address to enter my dispute

The first time this number called I answered and heard automated male voice say this was a matter for Joyce [Last name] and to press 1 if yes and 3 if not.  I pressed 3 thinking they would think they had awrong number and leave me alone.  Then a computer said, 'thanks for connecting with us' and put me on hold so I hung-up. The second time they called I hung-up. The third time they called (in about 5 days) I pressed 3 and had the computer say thanks and put me on hold. About 30 seconds later a woman picked up and confirmed that I was Joyce (no last name this time). I said yes.  She never introduced herself just said that this was about some civil something or other and was I aware of this.  I said, "no send it to me in writting because I won't do anything over the phone and hung-up before she said anything else.

I just went back and looked in my records.  This is the second time these people have tried to get stuff from me.  They called back in Oct. 2008 because I owed money to a credit card company that I haven't had a card with for about 12-15 years.  That time it was Allan King from ARG Investigative services of Buffalo, NY.  He even had my address and Social Security Number.  I immediately got copies of my credit reports and put Security alerts on my credit reports so that no one can open credit in my name without me knowing it.

I just got a letter from Fidelis Management Group LLC with this 888 number as the number to contact them. It says the I owe a blanace to an oil company that I've never had an account with in my life. It goes on to say that if I contact them in the next 2 weeks we can settle for a lesser amount. I will be sending them a cease and desist letter and contacting the FTC and BBB.

received a call from ATTY Chaz Meier.  888-288-3114 ext 107.  Was listed as a "Relative Contact" and wanted information about a family member regarding a civil complaint.

CALLED MY EMPLOYEMENT MY MANAGER ANSWERED THE PHONE AND LEFT NAME OF PERSON SHOVELL PEIRCE TO CALL BACK @ 1-888-288-3114 AND THEY NEVER LEFT ANY OTHER INFO. NEVER RETURN THE CALL...

Second phone call in 2 weeks, this time from a woman named "Danielle" stating I was named as a respondent in a case filed with her office. Came up as blocked call on caller id. She said she was calling "on behalf of Fidelis" last time they said U.S. Fidelis Group. Left her number 1-888-288-3114x180 said her "reference number" was 7168364400 that was also a phone number I looked up and apparently they are ARG a collection agency. Can't wait to hear who they say they are next time they call!

got a call at my private work number and my co-worker answered my phone line for me the person's name is Donyetta and the message left to call back this is urgent @ 888-288-3114 x112 with a case number never left the name of the company.  When I blocked my number and called they answer the phone with a name and no company name the person's name was Mr. Hanson.

They are a collection agency that breaks every law there is.  They are not licenced to collect debt in any state.  If they call you, get your attorney and sue them.  They have no ground to fight the suit as they are not licenced.

got a call from a mr. mc neil stating to call him back it was urgent, did not call back looked up phone number , its another scam in trying to collect a old debt so they say we all no who and what we owe , so pay what you ow to whom you oe dont fall for these scams i wish some one could stop these calls turn them into the fta and state attorney general  you can do it on line take the time and help out.

caller called & left a message for another individual referencing a case number involving me.  Represented himself as Robert Goldstein from EFG Group & that we should call back and provide proper social security # or government ID.  I did not call back.

I did not take the call, a friend did. The call was from a special Investigator named Alan King regarding a lawsuit against me and suggesting that I contact an attorney. I got this note today so I haven't done anything yet, and I probably won't.

Hey Guys,

After some searching I found these guys address. They call on out of statute of limitation debt that they cannot sue on. By threatening to sue you, they are breaking federal law. Send them a cease & desist letter and if they continue to call, file a police report for harrasment. Check out www.creditboards.com

I had a message from an Alan King saying he was an attorney and that I had a debt that needed to be settled and to return his call.  I called him back and he said I had not paid a $613 debt from 1999.  He could not give me any information on the company I had supposedly borrowed from and couldn't give me any details.  He said if I gave him my account number and settled now, there wouldn't be a lawsuit against me - which he would sue for $6,000.  I would not give him my account number, so he said he would send FedEx to my house tomorrow to send a check to them, postdated when the amount could be taken out of my account.  I told him not to call me back, send any paperwork to me and I would give it to my attorney, or he could go ahead and sue.  I want to know where this company got all my personal information?  I have an unlisted number and address.  He also had my social security number.  I'm also wondering if I have a case of identity theft that I need to report.

Gentleman left message saying "This is Mr. Hanson from ARG, some documents were forwarded to me today & unfortunately you are named as the respondent and I will need a phone call back today for a statement."  I didn't return the call, did some research and found that they are Asset Recovery Group, a sub-company of DJB Communications...apparently there is a class action lawsuit against them because they are "phishers" and scammers.

Is this a real collection agency or law practice of some sort?

it is a credit collection.

Caller idicated we must contact them at above number, extension 110 re: a specific case number. If we do not contact them, there could be legal action against us.
