Aha! I confirmed with the info I'd found!

Yep, no honor among thieves any more.

Thanks for your honesty!  So, are the offices in FL or DE?  How about Jessica C?  and/or a Mark G?  y'all know of them around the office?

Don't be ashamed.  It's happened to many others.  If you're tired, stressed, or in doubt, they're like wolves on a baby lamb ,.. and yes, these people hunt in packs, too.
Contact your state attorney general, the FBI, anyone you can think of that may even remotely be interested.  Also, file a form with the IRS on them ... I'm betting they aren't taking a LOT of what they scam into income...and you KNOW the IRS -- they LOVE looking for $$$!

I'm researching some other companies, and they're using the VERY SAME words, except they were asking for prepaid cards for a while.  Here are some links that might help you!

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!

Why doesn't someone report them, take them to court

Simply by hiding from the employees what they had collected and hence not paying them
Frank veliz and his reltive pastor ruben stole thousands from their employees as well as aaron khan

how exactly is it that the owners of this company are able to steal from their employees?

Ditto here

I worked for aaron (koby) and frank veliz
They stole money from us as well as the debtors we called
Report them to the police

Both aaron khan and frank veliz have stolen hundreds of thousands from innocent people
Cancel all payments to them
They have never taken anyone to court

They GOT me! I got the same call from them as everyone above. Having spent a few of the last several years working diligently at cleaning up my credit report, I was immediately scare when the guy started threatening thousands of dollars in court costs, etc. if I didn't give him acct info over the phone NOW to settle the amount owed on a VERY old credit card. He claimed it was ~$399 and it could be settled for 50% of the debt if I set up four pmts of $479.80 NOW. I did. :( I panicked and was so scared of the consequences of having something so old out there haunting me.
They initially called my parents house where I haven't lived in 10+ years, and left the 888-410-3843 (which I now have memorized for having called it SO MANY TIMES trying to get my money back). They claimed they sent a summons to an address I haven't lived at in 10+ years and that it's MY fault I didn't respond and it's come to this (I never received it). The guy who I spoke with when I called (said his name was Kevin Callister) was VERY intimidating, insulting and aggressive.
They likely would've gotten away w/ the scam as I'd resigned myself to the fact that I owed the debt and was being responsible by paying them the settlement amt of $1919.20. However, the day after the last pmt was to come out, they took an additional pmt. Busted. That was 5/2. I've called nearly every single day since then and they've told me everytime that they can't just put the money back in my acct as they use a merchant but that they'd send me a check. Then that they'd send it certified since I still hadn't received it.
I contacted the merchant they originally said mistakenly took out the money the last time as they claimed they switched merchants. The woman told me they no longer do business w/ FMA as this seems to happen w/ them regularly. Screwed down that avenue also.
The lady who claims to be being so helpful to me is named Lynne and is just as big a liar as the rest of them. I've had to close my acct, I'm completely uncomfortable about the security of my identity at this point and terribly disappointed in my judgement as now that I've taken the time to look up the number, there were so many warning signs.
Glad you were all smarter than I was!!!

Attention All Consumer:
According to the Federal Credit Act 609
The credititor must have have the orginal documentation of the DEBT or they can not collected the DEBT.
This mean, they cannot use information from a general ledger.  They need information with your signiture. If they tell you they have info from the FCC, that is a LIE.
This company is calling me but they have not sent me out a notice regarding the debt, which they must do first.
Also, this agency is purchasing debts from other collection agency with incorrect information.. Basically they don't know *hit from Stank.

1. All legal document are delivered by the court in your home town.

2. The Civil Procedure Divison is a new scam team & they did not state they were giving me a case number, but a reference number.

3. The 1st lady call & told me to call 888.410.3843, but she did not have any information to give.  I don't belive she was even in America based on the language barrier.
     
4.  When I called the 800 No. the next lady said they don't make calls from this office & when I told her someone from your office call me she denied the call.  When I gave her my 1st name she addressed me by a last name, which I didn't confirm was my last name, then she ask me for my last 4 digits of my Soc Sec No., when I refuse & ask about the reason for the call she would not provided any info but gave me the 1st 3 digits of my Soc Sec No. which I didn't confirm & I told her she could be a *ucken criminal.  Then she got upset & terminated the call.

5. From reading previous posts, this is a collection agency & they are collecting old verizon cell phone debts.

SHE HUNG UP.   DON'T GIVE IN FOLKS.
GOOD DAY!!!!!!!!!

they have being calling my home # asking for someone else please report this number immediatly

Don't give them ANYTHING. They're trying to scam you out of money.

First, they will call your elderly parents and scare them by saying there's a pending civil action against you, and to have you call them with this case number. They will ask you for the last four of your social "for verification purposes (which has become pretty standard anymore). They will then claim they're transferring you RIGHT over to your "case manager" (probably Eileen Matthews), but Eileen will not pick up -- you'll get her voicemail. If you leave your number, she'll call you the next day -- you won't be able to call her, believe me. Anyway, she'll tell you she's calling about a credit card you probably got rid of a decade ago. Will claim you're about to be taken to court by that credit card company, will quote you a huge figure that will make this matter go away if you'll just pay it right then and there, over the phone. She will claim "We've been trying to get in touch with you" and will say they mailed a letter to an address you haven't lived at for years -- she'll tell you the name of the street, but won't know the street number. When you insist that she mail you a new copy, so that her demands/claims are documented, she will try not to. Tell her that, under the laws of the state you live in, she MUST provide you notice in writing before she can harass you via phone. She will then get snippy at you "if you think I know my job better than I do," and will hang up.

That will likely be the end of it. These people are well documented on other websites. "Elaine Matthews" and all her friends are scam artists.

Same issue as everyone else, almost to the letter. They called my elderly parents last night with the same shpiel. I called them back, left my current phone number, told "Elaine" (my case manager LOL) to call me back. When "Elaine" finally called me back today (also see 603-134-5678) she said she was calling regarding an account for a credit card I haven't had in well over 10 years, she gave me the old "We've been trying to get in touch with you..." claiming they sent a letter to an address I moved out of FOUR APARTMENTS AGO! Kept trying to get me to pay several thousands of dollars (as in, RIGHT THEN, over the phone) to keep this out of court. When I pointed out that I was not obligated to take her word for it, that I needed something in writing before I'd give her a dime -- otherwise how did I know she wasn't just some scam artist? :-) -- she got snippy with me and hung up. I will add this to my report to the NH Attorney General and the FTC.

They are calling my future parents in law saying they have a package to be delivered to my address, wait all day, no package, they call back to give the call back number 888-410-3843 and a case number.  When you call you get a message that says please stay on the line and we will answer soon, wait, wait, wait finally get a person.  She wants the last four of my social.  Are you daft, how about you just tell me who you are, why you are calling and what this is about, when I ask what their company does she says they do mortgages, refinancing, credit cards and bankruptcy issues.  Now that doesn't really answer what they do, just a listing of items.  I get transferred to Joe.  Joe is quick to tell me I have a pending judgment in my name for a credit card I paid off 5 years ago through a credit collection company after they took it to court for judgment.  He is trying to scare me into paying him 50% of $3,800.  He is telling me they will come after me if I don't pay them.  I verify their name, ask why I haven't received any paperwork and why they are harassing my future parents in law.  He tells me they sent paperwork, he gives me the address. I haven't been at that address for 7 years.  He says they have settled their legal requirements.  I try to give him my current address to send the paperwork to, I ask him what court location the judgement is in, what company sent him my information to come after me.  He hung up.  Um, I have had several credit cards in collections (rough early twenties) and each and every time I called those companies they were very forth coming with the information and helped me solve my issue, they certainly didn't hang up on me.  Joe was far from professional and seemed he was trying to follow a script that I wasn't adhering to.  This is a scam, do not give them your information.  They are praying off of people who have had past issues and are trying to scare them into payment.  I have notified my Attorney General, the FTC and made sure my complaint was lodged with the do not call list.

I received a few calls even at my sisters house from a 210-134  which is not a working number when i picked up they asked me to call the 888-410-3843 and a case number when i called and gave the case number they said to give the last four of my social to see if they are talking to the right person I told them if you know who you are talking to give me the last four numbers you have and i will let you know if is me they said no so i told them if you have the papers just mail them i will be waiting

Just got a call today from the same situation stated above but the only difference is when I phoned the second number w/my scam case ## they said if I would give them the last four digits of my social security number they would inform me who was suing me..........I told him I would wait for the paperwork......total scammer.....also tried to phone the first number back and it would not go through

I got a call just now regarding legal documents. They asked For my wife. I said wrong number!! She.asked if I knew her. I.said its my wife! Than gave me the 888 410 3843. I.asked what this was in regards to.. She could not answer and advised me to have my.wife.call the number before 8 p.m. I.than asked how she.got my number and she said it just comes up in the system. My wife calls and its a recording!!! This is a terrible hoax!!!

I just received a call for my dad saying the same thing. We have been called several times before. The people are very rude. We tell them that we have filed bankruptcy and do not owe anything. I believe it to be a fraud.
The papers never come, and the company name is always different. I looked up FMA and associates and didnt find any company by that name. This is getting really ridiculous.

Please note: FMA Alliance, Ltd., a Texas Limited Partnership is not associated with ?FMA Management? operating from Delaware under telephone number 888-410-3843 or 330-134-5678.

We experienced the same thing, going to parent's house, imply summons, got someone once and they couldn't find my name/"Reference" number. Tried back several times, same messages & voice mail full. Never have confirmed name or intent. Very strange.

I was very concerned of the phone call I received. From a weird phone number   1-276-134-5678. I talked to a very rude lady. She was fumbling her words. I told her to get to the point. She was telling me that I have a summons to appear in court. They were going to send someone out to my house to deliver legal documents. First of all, who CALLS to let you know BEFOREHAND that they are serving you papers????  She said she has a case number and a phone number for me to contact.  She said to call the office if I want to change the time of the delivery . Ok, so I played along took the number and the so called case number. I first tried to call the number she called me from. I found out it was a computer generated number. That was my first concern. So I called the number she gave me 1-888-410-3843. A lady answers. Now asking for the last 4 of my social. I hung up. (Second concern)
I do my research on the phone number it comes back as Franklin Moss and Associates. I research them the Name came back as Aaron Kahn manager. There place of business. 16192 Coastal Hwy Lewes, DE 19958 turns out false. The real address is located in 7200 Lake Ellenor Dr.   Orlando, FL 32890. I research it Aaron Kahn and it comes back with a few different results. I then search under people with the name Aaron Kahn in Orlando, FL in Orange County. http://mugshots.com/US-Counties/Florida/Orang ... n.36383654.html . I do more research and come to find out there are a few different companies with the same thing Epstein Roth and Associates being one again Frank Veliz as manager. The same address is registered for both companies. Do not give these people in information they are criminals. They will be stopped.

I got a phone call from a local number: (949) 134-5678. The woman on the other end said that she was calling from a company that had legal documents for me and that they would be delivered tomorrow between 9 AM & 4 PM. I asked what these legal documents are and she said that she could not give me any more information, that if I wanted more information, I should call SMA (??) Associates at (888) 410-3843. I tried calling the number and no name came up on the voice mail when I called. Just mentioned options for pressing different numbers for mortgage, payday loans or civil matters. SCAM!

I got a call from this number on my cell, stating they had important legal documents that needed delivered and asked if I was going to be home tomorrow between 9am and 4pm. I said I was unaware of such a delivery. She said that sometimes they forgot to inform people of the delivery. (Yeah, right).I asked what kind of documents and she stated that she did not have that information. I stated that I was not planning on being home during those times. She (forgot the name but sounded American) said I then had to call (888) 410-3843 and gave me a case number. I asked what company is this through and she stated FMA and hung up.

My wife received a phone call from the same number BUT WITH A DIFFERENT OHIO AREA CODE 216 (216) 134-5678 at the EXACT same time as I received mine. But she did not answer and they did not leave a message.

This is a total scam. I did not call the 888 number so I guess IF I (or my wife) have important documents that needs delivered, they will call back.

I called the (330) 134-5678 number back and got a message saying the call could not be completed as dialed and an error code. Good thing I wrote the case number down correctly! (sarcasm)
