I got a call after I got a message on facebook, from some lawyer claiming, he had money for me from my dead relative. Would I forward my details, no bloody way. Low life scum bags, that's the details I sent them. Haha.

Be Aware, now they are calling from an automated system, same number but system states the name as Amber Parker, stating that she needs to serve paperwork at either my residence or place of business, I contacted my local Police department, they called the number back and got them, i also contacted the credit bureaus and put a fraud alert on all my credit reports, i also made a compliant with the Attorney Generals office. Also little do they know I have a app on my phone that records all calls made to and from with both parties speaking, I'm guessing they messed with the wrong B**CH.....

See if the county in which you live has a district attorney's office. If you can go to their website, there is probably a tab for consumer fraud, OR a tab for online forms, which might have a consumer fraud reporting form. In my county, it has to be mailed in but that's ok. Maybe if enough of us report it, the scumbags will be shut down.

My friend, you are a victim. Please contact the district attorney of your county, or your local police, and tell them this. If you paid by check, ask your bank if they will invalidate the payment as it is part of a crime. If you paid by credit card, ask them to undo this for the same reason. These people were wrong and sick and ugly to threaten you. Do what you can to get your money back to spend on your little man. I wish you the best.

I'm almost certain that is NOT the company involved here.  It is not unusually for these maggot illegal collectors to use names similar to (or exactly the same as) as legitimate firms.  I've been doing some research on this outfit, and while I am not yet prepared to release my "informational findings", it seems to point to the Atlanta GA area.  One apartment building address has been linked to one of the numbers, and we have seen many of this scumbag "we are issuing a warrant for your arrest for check fraud" groups based in Atlanta

Been receiving calls for quite some time on my step daughter-finally called back today and they told me my husbands ss# and DL#-had my name and our address,  said I could make restitution for the step's check fraud or hubby would face felony charges.   Was pretty scared cause step probably does have outstanding warrants and probably did use hubby's ss and dl for fraud purposes.  Then looked up the company name....and here I am....actually relieved it is a scam but ticked off as well.  Happen to know a states ada, city attorney and several practicing attorneys locally,  think I will call them all on Tuesday.

I just received the same phone call but they didnt give me the company. Told me if I didn't pay $1,875 today that a warrant for internet fraud would be issued and I could lose my job and house. Interestingly they had my old name but did have my new address. I changed my name 4 years ago and bought a house this year. I checked with my bank and there was no deposit back in 2007 that they claim I received. They had too much personal information. I called them back and they gave me Walter Dickson and Associates and then gave me a 6 digit case number. Will be calling to report this.

Debt Collector
Called my parents and threatened them saying I owe 2000 from payday loan in 2005. I never did that. Anyways threatened to extradite me to Texas and serve a warrant for my arrest. Had my dads ss# and threatened him. He called me and told me. Funny this is not on my credit report. My dad said they had my new address and husbands info and asked him if it's correct. So why aren't they sending me letters? Scam!

Debt Collector
On 10/28/2013 I received a pre recorded messages stating that they were from Walter, Dixon and associates and that I was being served with papers either at my job or my home.  When I called the number 1-888-489-1525, I spoke with a woman who was later identified her as Patty, she stated that a warrant was going to be put out for my arrest for writing bad checks.  On 10/29/2013, when I called back and stated that the company CashNet USA that they were trying to collect for, as already been settled, and I faxed the letter from the other company that I settled my CashNet USA account.  Mr. Gains from Walter, Dixon and Associates stated they were the bad company and they shouldn't have collected money from me.  But, if there were not the company that was suppose to collect how are both company collecting for CashNet.  And, the first company that I paid, they provided me documentation of the payment agreement and the letter stating that my account debt has been settled.  But, when trying to reach Walter, Dixon, and Associates, and trying to obtain my money back from them, the calls keep getting dropped and when someone does answer they immediately put you on hold and then the call drops.  I have left numerous messages for Mr. Gains the so called attorney I spoke with and a worker by the name of Jack.  I believe Walter, Dixon and Associates is a scam company and some action needs to be taken with them.  They should not be allowed to harass people, and fraudulently take money from them.

Adding to what I wrote before: The first person I talked to back in mid-Sept said if I had the money to pay the collection agency, to take it to a US Bank office and to call this lady back. She would give me the acct # and routing # to send the money to.
If having that info, couldn't the state ag and/or ftc people, whoever is investigating this could trace the acct and routing # back to these scammers somehow? No matter how much they threaten you or intimidate you,
DO NOT pay them a dime!!!!! I'll admit, they had me uptight for some time til I read this blog.

I've been getting the same calls from different numbers. I'm not sure how they got my number but I called a consumer attorney in my area who has verified that this is definitely a scam. She told me under no circumstance do not talk to them or give them any information. I've been advised by her to file complaints against them because although she can't go after them for me she stated that the government is working to stop these types of calls.

Debt Collector
Got a robo-call today from Frank Jacobs at 888-489-1525.  Stated I needed to contact them due to a pending litigation case.  

THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!  Please don't let them scare you into paying debt that isn't yours.  I went on FTC's website and found this information.  Report these people to the FTC by going to www.ftc.gov

Go to these links and read up on these types of fraudulent companies.

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.

I got the same call today saying that I owe payday loans from 2010, from Walter Dixson and I also spoke to Lin at ext 103, she said that I owe $1500 and that I could settle today for $1000.00, the loan places were Total Lending and Payday Loans.  They had my social and a ID number that wasn't mine and the loan was taken out in my old name, not my married name, and I had been married for many years before 2010.  What's up with these people????

I have been receiving from calls Frank Jacobs from 888-489-1525 at home and on my cell phone.  He leaves a message stating that he has papers to serve me and if I have any questions to call the above number.  I called the above number and no one answers the phone.  This has happened once before to me and I had to get the FBI involved - I know this is a scam but I want them to stop calling me.

My husband and I have been receiving these same exact calls. Same story too. Payday loan from 2005 that doesn't exist. We did, however, reach a live person when we called back and when my husband asked for the paperwork so he can see for himself, the woman got very angry and hung up on him after claiming they "don't mail any paperwork to no one". She claimed it was for a payday loan and check fraud and will be put in jail. When I myself called and spoke to a person she was very nasty and rude. When I started asking questions and wasn't falling for her game she got pretty ticked off, CURSED me out and hung up. We both tried to call back so we can record the conversation but funny enough there was no answer and the call kept being dropped. She did have basic information which can be easily accessed from public records. Don't be fooled people. This is a complete scam.

Canada's laws are somewhat similar to our own in some way's. And it does not matter if they are not in the US.. to do business here they must be licensed according to our laws and comply with our laws.  And yes, the FTC & FCC can and do hold outside the US agency's responsible and they can go after them.

For Federal Fraud Check - We don't even write checks! My husband got his call yesterday, I received mine today. Yesterday he spoke with someone and when he asked all the questions they never heard from us.
