ROFLMAO...yeah, right.  Bet you got a bridge to sell me AND some ocean front property in Arizona, too, huh?

But, IF, by the slightest chance you're even telling 1% of the truth, provide the company's NAME, ADDRESS, LOCAL TELEPHONE NUMBER, STATE OF REGISTRATION, YOUR CCA#, AND CEO'S NAME.  Oh, and a website would be nice.

If you can't/won't do any of those things, then IF you EVER get the GOLDEN opportunity, you can KISS THIS...and I don't even wear lipstick!

ROLFMAO...Moma always said "ya get more flies with honey than with vinegar or salt."  Apparently HIS moma didn't tell him!

If they start using this number again, DEMAND their ADDRESS and LOCAL telephone number, as well as the CEO's name.  If they try to talk over you instead of giving this information, hang up.

This place sounds like a THIRD PARTY JUNK DEBT collector.  Translation:  They literally buy up OLD, ANCIENT debt for less than 10¢ on the dollar, then start calling people, usually upping the amount that is/was actually due.  They refuse to send debt validation letters...then you'd have something to look at, a creditor's name, etc AND THEIR address.  

Make yourselves aware of the FDCPA  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.

When reporting to the folks below, it would be most helpful to have at least a city/state these people are operating out of, although the Feds should be able to get info from the phone numbers these people are using.

Here are some other agency contacts:

[NOTE: As far as I?m personally concerned, the behavior of these companies IS a form of domestic terrorism, although the FBI may not.]

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!

   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!
http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact  -- to the right side of the page, there are links for leaving online comments, writing a letter, or calling the White House.


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.


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, 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.

". . . they had papers to serve and where would we like them to be served." Should of been your first clue that this was fake. For heavens sake folks! Show a little backbone. Challenge them! Tell them to send you the paperwork, by US Mail, or don't waste your time. Then tell them you know they're fake!

Like everyone else receiving calls from 1-888-262-0593 also1-855-972-6643 stating I owed 2 payday loans from 2007 . They had my banks name my mothers address my work ,they talked to my mother saying they had papers to serve and where would we like them to be served ,I had 48 hours ,or I could go to jail ,if it went to court it would only be a hearing but, there would be court costs and the amount would be triple the amount .Sanders and Watts need to be stopped ,before anyone gets hurt

I got a phone call as well saying that back in 11/02/2006 that I took a $350 loan out from a Quick pay and defrauded on the payment and that I now owe up to $1700 due to interest and that if I didn't pay it that they would be taking a warrant out for my arrest. She wanted me to pay $650 today in order to not have a warrant taken out. I called the police and filed a report, also put my bank on alert. This is definitely fraud

I received unwanted call from 888 262 0593.  They keep calling and leaving random message about serving papers.  The phone number comes up unknown.  I see that several others have had this same issue with this calling scam.

I have recieved the same call , one on my mothers cell phone , they left a message , so she called me and I sure didnt know who or why ... then at 2 pm today I got a call on my cell same thing but a Daniel Watts ( or so he said ) from William Saunders & assoc said he wanted to serve me papers  either at my work or at my home , and for me to call 1-888-262-0593 when I tryed to call I got put on hold then was told to give my number and they would call me back when they werent so busy, I didnt give them my number , but contacted family and they told me that this was a scam and gave me this site , to which I see that it very well is , sure would like to know how to put a stop to these creeps!?! I am not going to call them any more , but I will call the attorney General and see what they can do with this .

they just called me from a different number which is 1-888-262-0593 we are also filing bankruptcy and they were saying the same to me sounds funky to me will block the number also and give it to my attorney

I have recieved this call three times in the last week same old thing everytime. I was scared half to death about a warrent being put out for me. I called the better bussiness burea and they have no record of this company Williams sanders and associates. It is also not legal for them to threaten you with jail time. They also informed me to get all three of my credit reports and low and behold no pay day advance loan from 2007.

i also have been getting these call at my home in ohio, from unknown caller , 000-000-0000. privet caller. they leave a message to call john Anderson  at 888-543-8745 at Williams , saunders and associates... after 2 weeks I tried to call them and always get a recording and then it puts me on hold and no one evr will answer... sick and tired of them.
 is any one  getting that call back number?
the message always say they need to serve me papers at home or work..

These people will even curse you. I am not even who they are looking for.

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.

They have changed their number. I received a call from these people today but it was from a woman and the number was 1-888-543-8745. They claimed I had a debt in TX when I live in NJ. They would not give me any specifics and when I tried to call them back after I was unable to verify who they were it only went to voicemail.

Received  a call from 888 854 8745 claiming they had papers for me

I recieved a call from john anderson who is suppose to work for william saunders and assoc. they told me i owed for a payday loan which i paid off through a collection agency they told me that the collection never paid the loan off they told me i still owed check n go. i would be serve at my job or home. i could go to jail etc. like a fool i fail for this and let them debit my acct. I was so worried. theset people need to be stopped.They caught at time when i was already worried about different things going on in my life and hear they come adding more worry. somebody pleas stop these people!the tele no. is 000-000-oooo or 8885438745

I told them to serve that pappers to their mom p**sy hole..I am tired and u knw what ? I called them every day  too..hahaha they thing they r crazy but I am more crazy!

Everytime I call this number back I just get a recording. I received a message stating that they are trying to service me some papers and that they need an address to serve me these paper.  I am located in Tennessee. They also left a number ofd 888-543-8745.

I received a message from john Anderson about 5 mins ago.  No one has ever received a phone call that I know of about being served. That's like saying a cop knocked on my door to say I have a warrant. It just doesn't work like that.

They are a scam company..screw them.

Just a joke company...same calls as all of you..then  u call them and it's  a b.s. voicemail ...who does this?

Called my job with pre recorded message saying that he was John Anderson and that I needed to contact them or they would be filing a warrent for my arrest. The number is 1-888-543-8745 William Sauders and associates. When I called and told them it was illegal  for pre-recorded messages they said it was illegal to write a check for a pay day loan, and not pay, before I could say anything else they hung up. This is a scam.

This is such a scam. Ive been getting calls from some guy name John Anderson. And his message says we are attempting to serve you at your home or work place. The number they leave is 888-543-8745. And when you call the number you get a automated system that says you've reached William Saunders and Assoc.  No-one ever answers or responds to the voicemail I leave. This is such ashamed that people can do this. So I hope this helps the next person and they dont fall for this scam. Hopefully these people will get caught soon.

john, who can we report this sleazy outfit to? this is really out of control. i think their robo calling technique might even be illegal.

ok. this crew is a piece of work. what enforcement agency can we call and SHUT THEM down. they are using a reverse robo calling technique which shows the incoming number as your phone number. I have told them to cease calling my number--since the person named no longer works for our company. I then called them back looking for the owner, but the little chickens wouldn't tell me who owns this outfit. Let's put them out of business!!! i don't mind bill collectors--but this is the bottom of the barrier. Shame on you and your shady tactics!

First off I am willing to bet you work for this fraudulent "company" trying to get people to pay for a non existent bill. Secondly if this were a reputable company why can I not find then on google?

I just got called today myself, different name and number but same message. Unfortunately for then I am a paralegal working in an office that deals with fraud recovery.

I received a call about a payday loan. He said his name was Dan Anderson and court papers needed to be served at my home or place of work. He had my social security number and two previous addresses I had lived at. He said I got a loan from Ace payday loan which now with interest totals $879.00. They need to settle this today with payment cause I received a letter about a year ago concerning this matter. I asked if I could work some out and he said they would clear everything for a payment of $300.00. I told him I don't have that today but at a later date I will. He stated he needed some sort of credit card to assure payment. I told him that I was on the road and would call him back. I don't feel right given out my credit card Information to anyone. So I Google the firms name and found this. I thank you and will be making a report to the Better Business Bureau.

They have mine.  If you ever purchase anything online or have your SS # online these scammers can get it easy.

I have been receiving phone calls for weeks from this place.  My warning was that they had my ex-husbands information included and we have been divorced since 2003 and he has been deceased since 2007.  That was my first red flag.  Of course, they blew that off and kept on going.  When she realized I wasn't going to just write them a check, she said she was going to report that I was  not willing to take care of the problem and I would be hearing from the District Attorney next.  When I called back to try to get information on where my loans supposedly were from, they just hang up on me.  I called again to inform them that I had reported them to the Attorney General's office.  Once again, they hung up.  Hopefully they will not call again realizing that they didn't reach a sucker...
