Another fake post. "Todd", "Allison", "marcy", whatcha gonna do when poeple start hanging up on you and not even cussing you out? Get "down on your luck big time?"
| Rob 2011-09-19 20:15:45 Unknown |
Hi, again, "Todd." Read all the posts, idiot. If you're making calls using fax machine numbers, you're a fake; if you're misrepresenting yourself in any way, you're a fake. How do you know if they're not paying their bills if you don't even have their correct names? Fake. Gosh, you need a real job, then maybe you wouldn't have to con people, and you wouldn't be in financial trouble.
| Rob 2011-09-19 20:13:03 Unknown |
Got a phone call from a fax number, eh? And it left a message anyhow? Interesting. I think someone is pulling your leg. Or setting you up for a scam. If the number doesn't fit, then don't fall for it.
| Rob 2011-09-19 20:10:23 Unknown |
Hi, again "TODD". You really need to quit trying to justify your illegal doings. Again...people in this country don't get arrested for owing money, legit claim or not.
| Rob 2011-09-19 20:08:45 Unknown |
Get a consumer attorney. Let them handle it, and these losers.
| Rob 2011-09-19 20:07:50 Unknown |
Hi, again "Todd." Again, we don't arrest people in this country for owing money. Yet another shill.
| Rob 2011-09-19 20:06:52 Unknown |
Shill alert.
Guess we know who is on the other end of that call, eh "Todd?"
In this country, they don't arrest people for owing money. Maybe in India or Romania, where you really are. If you're gonna scam people, at least try to make it sound legit. Stealing from them is even worse if you also include insulting their intelligence.

OK. Two other names to add to the list are George Ruiz and Mark Stevens. Personally I think these two are the same person,which wouldn't surprise me. Also another number to add to the list is 714 361 7584. This number is a Los Angeles cell phone number. Also.if you ring PRA after hours you get what appears to be a HOME answer phone.........not very professional either. Maurice, Dan, and Frank appear to be part of this scam, and FOR GODS SAKE somebody send Maurice back to school to learn how to spell.
| Ben 2011-07-24 18:24:24 Unknown |
Donna - they change caller ID to only make you THINK they are calling from your local area/state. And they don't want you to go to your sheriff because they are scamers. They just use that excuse scam money from people. They are frauds.
| R 2011-06-24 12:59:49 Unknown |
Frank, you sound like a dirty scammer to me. Drop dead....
| Really 2011-06-24 11:56:40 Unknown |
Hey "frank" did sonia get you riled up? Everyone knows who the scum is on here and its not sonia. In America we call what you do fraud.
| BS Alert 2011-06-24 11:51:56 Unknown |
Well Dan....isn't that special. Your wifes a bill collector. How proud you must be. As for comments on here about lying scamming bill collectors....they help everyone know when a bill collector is following the law or not. Maybe your wife does....maybe she doesn't....but this is a free country and an open forum and people are free to write about their experiences with the scammers so others can be ware.
Keep posting everyone.

If by any chance you were served with papers call 311 and ask for a number to verify if the papers you were served with were real. They will give you the phone number to a civil services department. Some of the summons papers are FAKE!! They use scare tactics in order to get you to pay. Notice they don't want to take payments? They want a lump sum. They tried that with me. Here are some links to other postings, read them to see if it applies to your situation.

I received a frantic call from my manager at work telling me I had to call Alexis Cruz back or the sheriffs department would show up at work to serve me and arrest me.The number given is (657) 859-4703.Alexis said she worked for Crescent Jewelers and was trying to collect on a debt.Originally she said my debt is $7,000.00 but I could settle out of court for $1,000.00.I told her I was behind on my rent and had $20.00 to my name.She asked if I had an offer to make.I said I could pay the $1,000.00 off in monthly payments. She refused monthly payments.Said she would rather get monthly payments through wage garnishment.She then suggested that I could make a lump payment of $500.00.Told her I didn't have $500.00 to give.She told me I would have to pay through wage garnishment.Then I called Crescent Jewelers to try to negotiate a settlement and they claimed my account was closed years ago and are not trying to recover the money.Mmmm a little fishy? . . . I then called Alexis Cruz and confronted her, she said she didn't work for Crescent Jewelers that she works for another company that bought the debt.Called Las Vegas civil department to see if I am scheduled to be served with paperwork and I am not.I called to ask for an address and she refused and hung up on me several times.She finally gave me an address p.o. box 836 Tostin Ca 92780.I could hear someone in the backround coaching her as to what to say to me.I think Alexis steals social security numbers and runs credit reports.She claims to work for creditor so that you make a payment to her and runs with your money.That is why she uses scare tactics and wants to settle for any lump amount. She does not want to take payments because she is a scam! NO LEGITIMATE debt collector will call your work or harass/threaten you.Oh yeah she claimed to work for a company named LCS. I filed a complaint against her online with the better business bereau (BBB) and the Federal Trade Comission (FTC). Printed out copies of these posts and gave to my boss so he knows not to fall for her scam in case she sends fake paperwork.Going to file a police report at police station against her.Needs to be done at your local police station because we don't know her physical address.If this happens or is happening to you ask for as much information from her as possible. Stay calm.Get her address, company. If you need to act like you are going to make a payment to get her info thats fine. Say yo don't have a credit card or bank account. Tell her you will mail her a money order and that is the only way you will send it. Once you get that address file reports using the address.File reports against any name that comes up on your caller id too. After doing a lot of research I found out that she works for a company called Western Performance Group
13681 Newport Avenue Tustin, CA 92780 (877)-523-3986. If these people harrassing you refuse to give you information it is because they know what they are doing is illegal and don't want you to file a complaint against them.

Looks like this site makes it harder for these scammers to steal money on the phone, that's why they must be payings shills like you to post lies. Can't get a real job can you LOL
| RAMSEY 2011-06-17 18:31:58 Unknown |
Just completed a bunch of research regarding the same call , I was a little worried as well . They sent me all of the data necessary to justify why they contacted me at work. I settled the account , I had generated a bunch of bills when my business was super successful thinking I could cover them. My Business took a major hit , I am glad I was able to pay this off.
| Mawmaw 2011-06-17 16:43:17 Debt Collector |
Someone keeps calling my job! Said I owe money to an account from 2005? Don't ever remember this company. Called Sheriffs Dept because I was told they needed to serve me papers? Sheriff dept said they had nothing on me. This agency wants my debit card number to settle an account thay I am not for sure is mine. What should I do???
| jimic 2011-06-17 14:18:51 Unknown |
You can't be arrested for not paying your credit card debt or any other debt for that matter....Get your facts straight before you start talking about stuff you have no clue about...
| raven 2011-06-16 17:16:37 Debt Collector |
These people calling concerning another member of family that does not reside with us. We advised them we have no address on individual but they continue to call... Will not give address or company name to send cease and desist letter to.
| Les 2011-06-14 22:48:44 Unknown |
I called this number back. The man answering said he could not give me the name of the company because he was operating "the switchboard for the complex." Yet he wanted me to give him the case number referenced in the message left. Why would the switchboard know the legal case number for an individual but not know the particular company that issued that number?

My wife is a bill collector , she has been for 17 years. We have a nice home, we pay our bills, I coach my sons soccer team and my daughter is on the Honor Roll at her Elementary . Please keep your personal comments off this forum. You sound like a disgruntled employee or someone who is trying to solicit there business.

Your dishonesty is actually overwhelmed by your inability to spell English words, making you perfectly qualified for boiler room "work".
But nobody believes your lies on here, filthy lying scammer.

This person calls me restricted and tells me I have to call back regarding some personal documents. I never answer restricted calls, so I never talk to anyone. they claim to be somebody named Robert.
| raeden 2011-06-06 21:05:37 Unknown |
Got a threatening messege from this number, said that documents are being sent out and to call back this number. This is not a working number, can not call it back. On top of all that, these people are calling my house for someone that doesnt live here. WTF. These cant be leagal. It just pisses me off that they think they can serve people that way. I feel bad for the person they are trying to get a hold of
