It also occurs to me that, particularly on the GreenDot/Prepaid card ?payments,? since they are apparently difficult to trace, I seriously doubt they are reporting these funds on their income taxes === tax evasion.  (That?s the way they finally got Al Capone!)  The IRS has forms for reporting suspected evasion, and even a reward form you can complete for if you help them catch the folks!
http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/How-Do-You-Rep ... aud-Activity%3F   (I?m 99% sure it?s the Form 3949-A that you?ll want to complete if you?ve been swindled by these folks.)    It looks like Form 211 is to claim a reward!
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3949a.pdf   -- Form 3949-A
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f211.pdf  -- Reward form

   I personally don?t care WHICH branch of the government goes after these people, as long as THEY get REAL FEDERAL ARREST WARRANTS out on them!!  So, if you?ve been taken in by these folks, besides filing with the above, don?t forget the IRS!  (You KNOW they like going after money!!!)

It may not help, but it certainly wouldn?t hurt to fill the mailboxes at the White House with letters about these folks.  If the President wants to get involved with courts and everyday peoples? lives, then he needs to get involved in THIS!

SUGGESTIONS (again, I am NOT an attorney and am NOT attempting to dispense legal advice.  These are my PERSONAL suggestions)
1-IF you decide to answer one of their MANY calls from about 50 different telephone numbers (no, I?m not exaggerating), give them NO INFORMATION.  In fact, YOU MAKE THEM ANSWER QUESTIONS, and if they don?t, hang up on them!   I don?t know anything about spoofing/masking numbers, but there have been comments that they are VOIP?ing the majority of the numbers they?re calling from.  I do not doubt this, as a person said the number showing on her phone was that of the local police department.
2-Keep a running log of the date, time, telephone number, person calling and note of conversation to file with your complaints.  (Or, try to record the call, BUT they usually hang up when they?re told they?re being recorded.  ROFLOL, now how many LEGITIMATE collection agencies would do that?  NONE that I?ve ever heard!
3-Look up your state?s Statute of Limitations on debts that can be pursued in court (that you can still be sued for).  It seems to vary from 3-15years.
4-DO NOT allow them to intimidate or frighten you.  These idiots have even called the numbers attorneys, police officers, etc. with this scam.  Intelligent, they are NOT.  

USUAL PLOYS:
1-call friends, neighbors, relatives, employers, and you trying to intimidate you into paying JUST to make the calls stop (but, from looking online, they don?t stop?they just demand more). ? Ask these folks to also keep a log of the calls, give them this internet page to check.  Ask them to do a search for ANY of these company names.  They?ll soon realize it that these people are nothing but SCAMMERS.
2-??have important legal documents (or summons) to deliver, will you be home ---(day) from 8:30 to 4:30 to accept it??
3-?There?s a warrant out for your arrest UNLESS you send us $xxx TODAY?  -- they seem to prefer asking for the ?Green Dot? prepaid card and want you to call back with the numbers on back ? harder to trace where to $ goes, apparently.

COMPANY NAMES:
Goodman and Stern LLC, aka GSA Recovery, aka GSA Management Orlando, FL  ? AND/OR ? EIESNBURG, WHITMAN & ASSOCIATES LLC, Rubin and Weizman, LLC.


TYPE OF CALL:
SCAM AND/OR EXTORTION BY A DISREPUTABLE LICENSED COLLECTION AGENCY

I'm tired of these people aggravating me over a debt that's not mine, for a person who did/does live in a city I've never even been in, much less lived or used as a mailing address.  So, I started hunting and found out a few things about these folks, so far.
There are complaints about them all over the internet for harassing people that do not owe the debt, threatening to arrest people for a debt, telling people the only way they'll stop calling is to pay "court costs" on an alleged suit they filed, etc.  According to some of the MANY complaint pages and numbers they've called using, it seems they call about debts that are 5-10 years old, don't care if they were paid or not because they want money.  There are people who have fallen for this, and stated that they paid, and are STILL waiting on getting the documentation of the debt from them.  Of course, their story is that they sent it out ... yeah, right.
What's laughable is one page on their website that says they follow the law during collection attempts.  OBVIOUSLY, NOT!  THEY have an F rating with the FL BBB (see below).

By the way, it would seem to me that, IF you had a bad debt, it would show on your credit report (if still eligible to be reported).  IF you do have a bad debt on your credit report, you might want to consult an attorney and/or the original creditor, rather than these folks who obviously could care less about the law.  [I am NOT an attorney, nor do I profess to be one.  I am NOT dispensing ?legal advice,? simply giving my opinion!]

IF they were calling about a legitimate debt, they would NOT be calling to see if you'll be home all day on certain day to "deliver legal documents" or "subpeona."  A legit collector CANNOT discuss your bill with anyone else OR threaten to arrest you and/or send you to debtor's prison, etc.

Make yourself aware of the rules in the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT.--http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.shtm  
Here is more info on it from the FTC Consumer information -- http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection
It's glaringly apparent that these folks enjoy breaking most of these rules.

Hope this helps someone!


As well as filing a complaint with your State Attorney General and the FTC, you can also file complaints in Florida.
Here is the Florida Office of Financial Regulation's complaint info page:

I'd suggest giving a list of time, date, phone number, and anyone's name you were given on these calls...EVEN if you didn't answer or it went to VM.

The "member manager/Registered Agent" of these companies has SEVERAL business names that he is the "member/agent" for.  Proximity Marketing is one of them, and does do online marketing.  Apparently there's another Proximity Marketing (forgot which state) that operates from different telephone, and may well be a legitimate business.

My personal advice:
1. neither confirm or deny any info from them.  In fact, make THEM answer questions
2. keep a running list of the date, time, name, and number called from, and a note of what was said (or if you answered the call or not)
3. file complaints with the above agencies, as well as any other you can think of to file with, listing ALL the information you have
4. file follow-ups on your complaints as you generate more information

Do NOT depend on "the other guy" to file these complaints.  EVERYONE needs to take a moment to file one, so these agencies can see how big of a problem these so-called "debt collectors" are and go after them!

Feel free to copy and paste this information to the complaint sites of other numbers they call from, so people are aware and, hopefully, don't get scammed.

I just got scammed two weeks ago I paid 488 dollars according to this people I got a pay day loan 7 years ago n  I never pay I got scare and I paid right away because I did not wanted my credit to go bad for business reason please be aware I just lost my money

BTW the address she gave me is for this website lol http://www.pxmarketing.com/contact.html !!!!  BEWARE OF THESE PEOPLE!

Btw here is the information she gave me, but wouldn't supply me with a "local physical address" only to their "corporate office"  7751 Kingspointe Pkwy Suite 107, Orlando FL, 32819.  Phone Number :1888-314-5992

After giving my information and having 2 withdrawals...I know hind site ugh....but when you're faced with a warrant it frightens you.  

Let me back up, I received another call from another agency claiming as well to be a law office and that I would have a warrant issued for my arrest and I would go to jail and pay 3 times the amount they were asking for.  This is the same spill that Goodman and Stern gave to me.  

I called them today *goodman and stern* and asked for information about my account, which she was unable to supply to me.  She stated that once my account was closed they didn't have records of anything other then my payment and payment information (which is scary) .  I asked why she had never sent the email or letter which she said by law was required with the information of the debt and that it had been fulfilled, she stated that it was never mailed out but they had emailed me. I asked her to resend it as I had never received the email either, while I waited. She stated she couldn't do it that I would have to call back lol.  I then said according to what I've read it's illegal to threaten to jail or issue a warrant for someone over a loan that is made online.  And that they fed off my fear of being incarcerated.  She said they never threatened me with jail because that's illegal. I said so you're saying it's ok to threaten me with a warrant and her exact words to me were "I'm not commenting any further" and hung up the phone.  BEWARE!!!   please read this http://debtpay1.com/9-Can-Payday-Lenders-Sue- ... ayday-Loan.html

I hope this helps someone else from being scammed by these people!  I am now disputing through my bank.

I was called today by this number- Spoke to my "Case Manager".  Explained that I have settled and paid off my loan from CashNet USA.  He informed that I paid wrong person and was not interested in receiving my Settlement and PayOff Letter. He told me I was being served papers tomorrow. I called my local Sheriff's Department and was told no such papers or civil case are pending against me. I have called CashNet USA and reported this company for harrasement. I have also reported them to my contact at the Chamber of Commerce.  Now when he contacts them, they will find out what a real problem is, harrasement and other false tactics are illegal.  I would advise everyone else to do the same.
AJ

Called my daughters father in law and said they would be sending someone up to serve papers on them. Gave no reason for the call other then that.

I was contacted regarding a " civil matter" although the person contacting me didn't know what it was. They also used the "delivering legal documents" line....what a terrible scam to be running on people!

Stop Harassing calls

Received a call from this number stating that they had to send a processor to serve me paperwork.  I asked them to fax me something and have not heard from them for days.  It seems like they are acting like lawyers but nothing comes under the name they give or the address.

i will try on this no :)

This call was a collection agency, so he said.  Now I am nervous that it was a scam trying to get information from me.
