I keep receiving these calls from different people everyday at work and they leave voicemails stating I wrote checks on a closed account, I don't have a checking account and haven't had one in about 4 years, I have savings only.  They are threatening with jail, court, fraud.  I haven't done anything wrong. What do I do?

I received the same message.  Called back to extensin 1014 when I said that I was not paying anything without a debt validation letter she passes me on to John Accord. John Accord supplied me with some information but said that he did not work for the company he was calling to get my final statement so I could be sued in court.  I read these posts and just for fun called him back.  I kept him on the phone for about five minutes being very polite I asked questions such as : who is the original debtor, what was the date of the original debt, and how much?  He put me on hold each time but eventually told me it was a debt from CashNetNow for around 100.00 dollars from August 2009.  I told him I would pull my bank records and check.  He said to show it to the judge when my summons arrived in the mail.  I reminded him that they had left  what I thought was a threating message on my answering machine, and I was saving this conversation and all others that were left.  He said it was just more then could pin on my at court.  Just for fun might start calling him once or twice a day.

888-392-8605 - Commonweath Investigations - Same deal..total scam, they are calling at night which against the Federal Trade Commission rules.  Do not call these people back, they are debt collectors and pose to be representing a District Attorney's office, which is total BS.

This scam - Just hang up - everyone needs to report these calls to the Attorney General or Local Authorities. They even called a family member in another state and stated they were looking for me??? To press Criminal Charges?

pAID A SETTLEMENT OF 725.00 LAST MONTH OR SO .NOW THEY STILL CALL BACK

Please have them stop calling me. It's my business phone number.

I just received a call from the 202 number with a very detailed voicemail saying that I have bad checks out and I had 72 hours to respond or they'd prosecute. Left a case number and said it would be filed in Dallas County. Callback number is 888-392-8605. I too am a victim of identity theft yet do not have any checks out. For everyone out there that has received this call - I can't understand the guy's name - did he leave a case number?

i being takin to court on these bad checks they claim i wrote and i didnt i recieved my summons today wtf if these ppl are a scam they sure no what they doing oh yea thanks for the post they really helped me :( . what should i do ?

I received a called from my girlfriend who tells me they left the same message on her voicemail. If you have my address then papers should be sent to me directly who calls around to inform someone they have criminal charges pending. When I called back Jeremy Cobbs was extremely rude. I have never wrote a check let alone a  bad check. I don't right checks. He said I gave a financial institutions the right to automatically withdraw funds. I told him if I gave that permission I can also stop it. It's my right. So how is that fraudulent if I tell you not to take money from me. He said you owe them $850.00,  I asked who the financial institutions was he would not tell me tell, Only said it was in 2009. It took them almost 3 years to contact me. I mean please. Jeremy Cobbs said we can settle this out of court and when I told him I need to see some documentation he said good luck with the judge and hung up on me. I don't know about any of you but if you tell me I have a Class E Felony pending on me I need to see some documentation anyone can say something over the phone. Commonwealth Investigations are nothing but some money grubbing debt collectors.

I have been getting these calls just about every weeks since the beginning of September.  The first few voicemails I got were automated, stating they were from the CommonWealth...all the same as everyone else's on here.  But today, I received a voicemail (which was hard to understand, the guy talked very low), stating they were from the CommonWealth Investigations, and they had information containing my social security number, and that I had a pending suit filed against me.  Apparently I have written bad checks on a closed account.  I have only had one account, and it's still opened.  The guy's name was either Leland or Jeremy.  I couldn't understand all that well.  He gave me a phone number of 888-392-8605 ext. 1003.  Isn't there some way these people can get nailed???  I have been harassed for almost two months, with at least 10 calls from them.  I decided to save my voicemails for future reference.  This is getting ridiculous... SCAM!!!!!

I recieved a call from this number saying i was formally reported along with my S.S. number..What does this mean????No clue..Also something against my checking..Been through foreclosure lost everything I worked hard for Filed Bankruptcy am paying back monthly payments to pay debt off with the chapter 13 so leave me alone...  Still working hard will never give up like some losers. A Common Wealth Call Why????  NEVER would do to a cashnet place if my life depended on it....

i passed some bad chks and they prosecuted me its fddddd up i didnt do it either wtf but these people are serious i wish they werent

Gotten a call from this same number. A few times on yesterday and again this morning at my job. The message was not left on my direct number it was left on an automatic messge for our operator who then forwarded the message to me directly. This his harrassment right? I called the number back and got voicemail.

Had a message from this number today and when I called back, it was the same bs about 2 bad checks that I supposedly wrote to Cashnet in 2009 for over $12,000. The rep Brook Holman ext 1014, went so far as to call out an entire SSN, name, address and email address that was supposed to belong to me. She said I have 72hrs to clear up the matter. We"ll see what happens.

These people called my home and I called the number back knowing it is a scam as I have no debt and told them that I was calling the better business bureau on them.  She hung up right away. These people need to be arrested for fraud and need to go to jail for long while.

i just receved this same message today told me i was getting sued from m&t bank

I JUST GOT A CALL FROM JOHN ACCORD SAYING THAT M&T BANK IS SUING ME UNLESS I COME TO ARRANGMENTS OUTSIDE OF COURT SAID I HAVE TO PAY TO PAYMENTS OF 550. IS THIS A SCAM

I received a call from the same number yesterday. When I called back, I pressed 0 and got an a man. I asked him what it was in reference to, what was the name of the company making an accusation against me.  He said he couldn't tell me that Commonwealth Investigations would be filing a complaint against me. I inquired at what court would the complaint be filed, which he couldn't tell me.  He claimed I owed $2300 in addition if I didn't want to settle there would be an additional $1500 fee added to the claim.  He finally transferred me to someone who could give me more information.  The person he transferred me to was John Accord.  The guy was rude, kept accusing me of writing bad checks, I finally kept drilling him with questions until he told me that the company he was representing was Cashnet USA.  I've never had any business with that company, which I told him.  Since he was nasty with me, I told him that I would await a court summons so that I could get it cleared up because I was not going to provide him with any personal information.  Then for kicks I told him that he should know the call was being recorded. He flipped out on me and hung up. I'll wait to see if anyone attempts to serve me for something that has nothing to do with me.

I received the same message yesterday evening. Thanks for all the posts. the number was 1-888-392-8605. I am glad it is a scam, I was concerned I had been a victim on identity theft..so thank you very much, I hope they get theses people.

I received the same call last night.  When I tried to call back and didn't have an extension, I pressed 0 for the operator and it hung up.  Tried again today, before seeing these posts, and it just rang and rang.  Thank you everyone for putting these posts on here as I can now relax!

I just arrived at work this morning and as always check my voicemail for messages.  I received the samw message as the above complaints.  Who are these people and why are they such nuisances!!!  To call someone and leave rude messages on their work phone is just unheard of and this could cause an employee to lose his/her job.  How can we end this practice????

These people are calling my parents home & me, stating they are with the offi e of the commonwealth investigations. The caller was very rude to my mom, and explained I was going to jail,etc.I have had terrible identity theft and this must be yet another step of it. Also, this violates the Federal Trade Commission trade regulations rules. Which I can explain in depth if necessary.

I just checked my answering machine at my business and received the same message as all of you above.  I have never written a bad check and have excellent credit, so I could not imagine what matter this was refferencing nor was any info given in the message.  The phone number left was: 1-888-392-8605 and when I called it just rang 6 times then hung up.  Like all of you above I now beleive the computer generated message left is total BS and would advise all who receive it to disregard and not give out any personal info to this modern day scammer fishing for your personal info.  If it was legit a certified letter would have been sent with pertinent info and a description of such a complaint.

A 202-400-3094 number just called my desk at work and told me to call back another number. I called it back and it said to enter's my party's extension, I was never given one. I pressed 0 for the operator and it hung up on me. When I answered the phone it said:

"Due to your unresponsiveness a formal complaint has been filed bearing your name and social security number.  To review all immediate right and details and avoid all check system or systant proceedings contact the Commonwealth immediately at 1-888-392-8605."

I'm assuming this is a scam?? It was a computerized voice and I have no idea what it's talking about and it gave me no info other than that message.

I recieved a voice mail from these guys, the exact same thing everybody else had however when I called them back they said I was a referenced and they were trying to get ahold of one of my best friends, they knew her name and everything. So naturally I called her and was like whats up and she had no clue, so i checked here and now realizing it is a scam they are getting more elaborate but thankfully they dont have any of our details.

I recieved a call from this group today.  They called from number 202-400-3496 and left a call back number 888-392-8605 on voicemail.  They said they are with Commonwealth.  I suspect this is a scam because I have perfect credit and never so much as a bounced check.  

This is the message they left on my my cell phone.  It was hard to make out but this is as best I could tell:

Due to your unresponsiveness a formal complaint has been filed bearing your name and social security number.  To review all immediate right and details and avoid all check system or systant proceedings contact the Commonwealth immediately at 1-888-392-8605.

Please Please Please do not give these people any of your personal information. They are a scam. I only found out they are a scam because they called my family's phone number and left my social security number on his voicemail. They also called my work number and left my social and the details of why they were specificially calling. I found out from the Government that it is illegal for them or any debt collector to put anything on a voicemail other than " Hi my name is so and so from Common Wealth, this message is for so and so. Please call us back at (number). Anything else is illegal and i was informed that if you keep getting calls from them or voicemail, please save them because you can sue them for harrassement or for breaking the law and leaving your personal information with someone other than you.

The call was for my husband.  He said his name was John Accord and that he was with Commonwealth Investigations.  He said he could not talk to me about it, that they needed a statement from him.  That it was a court matter.  My husband says he knows nothing about it.  This is not the first bunch and once before we paid someone saying my husband owed $623.00 and never received the statement or anything they promised us.  I'm tired of these idiots.  It's getting old and we don't know what to do about them other than not pay them.

This same thing happened to me today. so what did you do?

scam---received a call novan white  from 2024003493  said he representing the commonwealth of washington investigating fraud on my social security number  left this number 888-392 8605 x1001  w/case number
