I think I paid around $600 myself. The stupid mistake I did was I used my bank card and not a prepaid card only becuae he told me a cop will come and arrest me. I am sooo mad and stressed. I tried calling and the phone is disconnected! SCAM!!!! UGH What do I do now?

They have constantly harrassed me at work. I eventually paid $650.00 since April of this year. I was told they wanted to settle for $700.00.  I tried to call them for the last 4 weeks only got voicemail.  So I decided not to pay the last $50.00 and then yesterday they started calling back and today asking for my manager. I told them they were being recorded.  I heard they buy old debts that are written off. Not sending anymore money thru my prepaid credit card.. I am contacting the Better Business B and possibly a lawyer.

Starfish huh, maybe if you werent a scumbag debtor you wouldnt receive calls from these people, you are the dirtbag who takes loans out and cant pay them back.  Dont hate the collector for doing his/her job, maybe you should get a job and pay your bills instead of wasting time and energy trying to get out of your obligations!! LMFAO its only gonna hurt your credit, by the time "starfish" is done with you you wont even be able to finance a quarter pounder!! SCUM!!

GOOD LUCK TO YOUR LAW FIRM.
I
HAVE TRIES SQUEEZING BLOOD FROM A TURNIP ...CAN'T BE DONE ..
BUT CHARGES OF HARRASSMENT CAN ...
SO JUST KEEP ON KEEPN ON .... MY ATTORNEY  IS WAITING AND READY....

Yeah I'm having my attorney work on this as we speak! She is calling "Epizito and Ricci" today to verify the info. The guy "patrick"(Starfish, I call him lol) said I had payday loans deposited in my account a year ago in florida? Yeah... I'm thousands of miles away from FLorida ya idiot. Gave me wrong places of employment.... Gave me wrong email addresses ... this all validates that this is fraudulent, and he even openly gave me my SS# over the phone for no reason?! AND STILL HE THREATENS!? What filth this world has! cant wait for my lawyer to call this jack-off-a-saur! Meanwhile reporting to BBB...

debt collection related it appears.  they were looking for a woman who had my current phone number associated with her years ago.  I called them back and my call was immediately forwarded to a calling center voice mail. I left my message re: their contact number is incorrect and to remove it from their database.  No person interacted with me and no identifying info was on their voice mail greeting.

ADVISING THIS COMPANY IF THEY CALL ONE MORE TIME TO MY NUMBER, I WILL BE FILING A HARRASMENT COMPLAIN WITH THEIR LOCAL ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND PUNITIVE DAMAGE THEY'VE CAUSE MY PREGNANT DAUGHTER IN LAW///.....I KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND WHERE THEY DO BUSINESS FROM THANK GOODNESS I TRACKED THEM DOWN.....

Mr. Morris needs to change his tactic 1st of all in order to go to court in a county, you must be served by a law enforcement officer and this mr morris "harrasses" people with the same lame "your gonna be arrested advise him never to leave that type of message....HE'S DEALING WITH SMARTER PEOPLE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS WARNED THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THIS "MR MORRIS"....IF HE NEEDS TO COLLECT HAVE HIM SEND EVIDENCE OF COMPLAINT OR SO CALLED CASE NUMBER////THAN ONE CAN SEE IF HE IS LEGITIMATE AS LONG AS HE DOESN'T PROVIDE....THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN WARNED ABOUT HIM.....

As a law enforcement officer in the state of North Carolina, I can tell you this that unless you are served with a legal document showing a case number (a real case number) with numbers that corresponds with your state's numbers you can be sure that this is a scam. My wife is going through this exact same thing at this time. Advice from me, be careful what you do on the internet. Be careful with your sensitive information. If your going to buy something, try and go get it in person if possible. If you are going to borrow money, try and go to a ligitmate financial intsitution and do it in person. Sometimes I know this is not always possible. These people are limitless when it comes to ways to obtain someone's personal information. Just try and be aware and be careful. Never send money to someone who calls by phone and can't provide legal documentation of any kind showing that you owe the money.

Got a call from them saying I owe from a payday loan i paid 2 years ago contacted my payday loans and they said debts were paid!!! Leave me alone!!!!

They call me everyday, then left a message yesterday saying I had 48 hrs to be served. They was going to come to my job; the job they have listed I haven't been there in so long

I initially thought this was a debt collector, but found out that they investigate issues such as fraud. They were looking for a relative of mine who was being investigated for check fraud. The woman I spoke with was very friendly and I haven't heard anything else from them since I clarified that the person they are looking for could not be reached at my number.

Please don't feed this TROLL..

Gunnar,  He is just the Board Troll.  It's become his life long quest to Troll this board and try to stir the pot.
He's too lazy to think up a board name most of the time.  Ignore him.

The Board Troll is out from under the bridge again...just stirring the pot.

Yep, I sure am! And I'm also far smarter and more highly educated than any of you two-bit scammers. You just hate that don't you Fraudster?
Keep on trying though. Every time one of you opens your mouth you just prove that..Gud glomde att spola!
Skeff Ett Liv!
Gunnar

Are you sure about that. did you get an email and not a written letter? please explain

Gunnar is a weirdo

Esposito and Ricci, Where are you located, what is your email address or street address, what is your legitimate phone number, WHO is the administrator and or supervisor in charge, why not leave your number instead of a fax number???? To whom do you want me to make the check out to? FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD...DO NOT SEND YOUR MONEY TO A COMPANY THAT HAS NO LEGAL INFORMATION!!!!!!!!! POINT BLANK...PERIOD!

I was called and told that I would be put in jail for check fraud. They stated that I had one day to make an astronomical amount of money. The letter via email they sent had NO signature, No address, etc...and ONLY a FAX number for verification. There was no one's name BUT the title of the so-called firm's name on the letter. The administrator's name was: The Esposito & Ricci Firm....WHO DOES THAT???? And I'm supposed to send you my money?

You SHILLs are funny! Documentation? Show us some info. then. Give us an address (not e-mail) of the honorable "Mr. Morris". How about some verifiable references. His business license numbers. The states he's licensed in. Anything to prove the upstanding "Mr. Morris" is worthy of your praise.
Come on, the "legitimate Mr. Morris" would love some free publicity. Here's his chance.
And don't try to blow smoke up our a**es. We'll verify or (most likely) disprove every word that oozes out of your mouth.
Skeffa Ett Liv!
Gunnar

Sure he is... if by legitimate you mean breaking the law and violating the FDCPA.

Mr. Morris has helped me handle a matter before.... i assure you he is a very legitimate business man.... he has sent me all proper documentation and has kept up on his word with every promise he has made. Dont let somebody who is probably a dirt bag let you think any different about mr. morris.

pos debt collector. Left a voice mail about a pending allegation in my county...first of all you get notified of charges filed with the court through the sheriff's office and or mail....not by phone in a voicemail. When I called back you can't understand the name of the company they claim to be, and you are asked to leave a voice mail. hell no i'm not leaving a voicemail....ya'll can snail me my "debt notice". It is Espostino and Richie and BBB has over 150 complaints against them and even the BBB can't nail down an actual physical location for their "Firm"

These people call me all day at least 4 times a day. They aren't trying to help just making empty threats. I feel like they should at least offer help not threats. Horrible debt collectors!!

I dealt with the same information from the same person.

This man called and harrassed an 80 year old woman, impersonated being an officer of the court, Spec Inv Morris, said that her grandson was going to be thrown in jail if he didnt show up for court ... he is fraudulent, and is a past due bill collector, that a collections has turned over to him

It is Espostino and Richie

Need you to stop harassing me or else I will sue you

Need information this phone number
