1-888-807-5801 is the number I called after being called from (562) 257-3899 stating they were trying to send me legal documents, and claim that they are not able to send me the documents. When I called the 888 number and gave them my fake case number, she wanted the last 4 of my ss# number I refused to give her the number, and she said she could not give me anymore information, I asked her the companies name, and she said Reuben and Associates. I asked the company address and she refused to give it to me, I said why won't you give me your company address, and she said we don't give that out, I said if you are a legit businuess you are legally required to give out your address, why would you want to hide your address if you are a legit business anyway? She hung up on me. I called back again and said I want your address, if you are a legit businuess you would give it to me, again she refused, I told her I was going to keep calling and she said that's ok, I will just block your number. Called again with a different phone numbers, and got different people, and they all refused to give me their businuess address, I said I want your address to send you a cease and desist letter, and you would give me your address if you were a legit businuess, they stuck with the same thing saying they would not give it out, also tried to make a mockery of me. They have been calling my Mom and harassing her as well! They are a SCAM---do not believe them or give them ANY of your information. A legit company does not HIDE their address from anyone. PLEASE report this company, as I am doing.

NOT SURE IF THIS WAS A SCAM OR NOT BUT I DID GIVE THEM MY CREDIT INFO.. I DID RECEIVE A CALL SAYING I WAS GOING TO B SERVE. I CALLED BACK AND SPOKE WITH A RYAN JONES WHO DID GIVE ME A HIGHER AMOUNT ON MY CREDIT CARD. HE DID TELL ME THAT I COULD SETTLE OUT OF COURT FOR A LOWER AMOUNT. I ENDED UP PAYING 2 PAYMENTS OF 350.00. ON ONE OF THE PAYMENTS THAT DID TAKE OUT MORE THEN THEY WERE SUPPOST TO I CALLED BACK RIGHT AWAY AND RYAN JONE INFORMED ME THE ADDITIONAL AMOUNT WOULD BE PUT BACK IN MY ACCOUNT. I CHECK LATER WITH MY BANK AND THE MONEY WAS PUT BACK.. MY PAYMENTS WERE BOTH MADE AND THE MASTERCARD THAT I WAS SUPPOSTLY BEING SUE WAS PAID OFF. I DID END UP PAYING A LESSER AMOUNT THAN WHAT I OWED. SO IT MUST BE A COLLECTION COMPANY BUT HEY IT GOT PAID FOR A LESSER AMOUNT. IF I WOULD OF SEENING THE COMMENTS BEFORE I PAID I WOULDNT OF GIVING THEM MY MONEY BUT I GUESS I CAN LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE MY MASTERCARD GOT PAID OFF FOR A LOWER AMOUNT

Wayne,
I would like to get in touch with you in regards to AF. I am a private investigator out of Seattle and we are running an investigation on this company.  

Investigations.mip@gmail.com

Hey Im going through the same thing you went through, and they are taking money out of my account next week.  What should I do?

These ppl are starting to harass my wife. The name she got was Benjimen McThomas. (I guess he's a Scotsman now) The callback number he left was 1-888-618-6948. They give no corporate address other than they are located in California.
Tomorrow I call them and record (for quality assurance purposes) and try to get enough info to file a complaint with the State AG Office. These ppl need to be prosecuted and sued!

Welcome to the Corona Scam.

They fake "debts" by using information obtained by illegally pulling your own credit reports, then make fake "process server" calls to your relatives to create the appearance they have "sued" you, to get you to call them back in a panic.

Their goal is to panic you into paying them to "settle" the "lawsuit" without ever providing any proof of the alleged "debt", or that you owe them.

Check your credit reports (particularly Experian), and you will probably find a recent credit inquiry under one of their many names (if not AF Group, maybe Prime West, PMG, ARM, or HGG).  Your credit report gives them enough information to size you up for how much they might get from you (they can see your available credit card credit), as well as possible old accounts they can pretend you "owe" to them.

Contact FTC, your state Attorney General, the California Attorney General, the Corona Police Department, and the Riverside office of the FBI.

I have an address for one of these scum collection agencies, if anyone needs it.
This is from the email letterhead:

AF Group
32295 Mission Trail Ste. 8385-10
Lake Elsinore, Ca
92530

The person who called us was on a definate power trip with the "I'll just summons you" line. I calmly told him approximately 6 times to send me something in the mail, a past bill, proof, and he just kept threatening. This group called family members, my estranged daughter -- yet they didn't even have my husband's name DUH. And, he could NOT pronounce my street name. It has Rustic in it, and he kept saying "Roostic". Probably just to annoy me.  
I can tell you this, he did NOT like being told to "HUSH"...LOL
Now, they are back at it again, I am thinking that if you pay off a debt, they go buy another debt for the same person, or spouse, and go right after them again.

debt buyers, (if that's what this outfit is) ARE subject to the fdcpa

Hello LHM, you are a shill

I had the same thing happen to me! I went to the local police department and filed charges then changed my bank accounts so they couldn't take anymore. My bank and the pd are trying to get my 400 bucks back. I never received a email with the contract info or anything. Their threats are just to scare the average person. They told me I owed 3262 but would settle for 1200. The highest that card ever was and it shows it on my credit report is 562. Let me them sue me for it. I will counter sue for harassment!

You can get my info to contact me at WayneGiffordAttorney.com.  E-mail me at Wayne@WayneGiffordAttorney.com.  Put something in the subject line so it does not go to spam.

My mother called with the message that there legal action was being taken against me. She said someone left a message and that there was a summons being issued by the county sheriff's department - or something to that effect. She said she didn't get the name of the Company but that they provided the following number: 888 310 3751 and a reference number.

I called and was told (only after giving my reference number) I was speaking with Pacific Asset Group - a litigation group. I asked what this was all about and why I hadn't been contacted directly or informed about any legal action prior to the summons. They put me on hold, upon return changed the subject and and said that if I paid "xyz" amount within 24hrs that they could stop the court action.

I said I needed to discuss it with my spouse and I would call them back. They did everything they could to convince me that I should just give them payment right then. I insisted on leaving the call so they asked for my number just in case they needed to contact me. As I am over seas, I gave them the number.

I will be calling the local county and the credit card company to clear all of this up. However, I believe this is a scam. My only hesitation is that perhaps after being over seas for so long something fell through the cracks.

The conversation was

They called and told my sister they were going to put a warrent out for me if I didn't call them and wow little do they know I don't owe no one money and plus a cival matter doesn't make it a criminal matter and giving legal advise on any matter is illegal and can be sued in federal court for a max of 7,500 they won''t give me there address so I can file a suit on them .

Yea these people have a different person calling me all the darn time, wut really makes me mad is that they are calling my parents and leaving them messages about taking me to court, sueing me, etc etc but I have never been sent anything which they said they have but nothing. I am so sick of them harrassing me over this, I dont even know wut it is except I had a creditcard long time ago before I was married and also it could be when I was married before but I filed bankruptcy fo shouldnt be that but they will not tell me any info except crap to scare me for money. How do I make this stop!!! The company is telling me they are private etc.

If you have an attorney, get to them immediately.

If you can't afford one, call your local legal aid.  If you can't find the phone number, you should be able to get it from the clerk of the court where the summons is from.

I am in Missouri, but you don't say where you are.

I have a client involving these people and am looking forward to seeing what I can find out.

I just recieved a summons today by some black guy! I seen a Court date what should i do!? Please help?! I never been SUED BEFORE!

Look up AF Group on bbb.org.  I found their address there in Lake Elsinore, CA.  I really hope you do sue them.  I had told them I wanted proof and they told me to wait for my summons.  But now they are calling my family members and work...I really just want them to stop because they are not getting a dime out of me.

Also: I have a different number  888-817-2781, and the guys direct number is 888-229-8848 a Steve Martinez....

Hello
I received a call this morning from a Ben Thomas, he left a message that he was needing to serve a summons and I needed to call and verify my address. "I never heard of a server calling to verify before"?
When I called back i was told i owed $1823. for an old credit card debt of $400., owed to Continental Finance... when I lost my job 3 years ago. I tried to work out a settlement then, but they wouldn't reply. Now he says they will settle for $821. and wants a debit card #, I told them i wasn't comfortable with that so they are suppose to email me a agreement to sign and fax back stating I'll pay them by the 17th of this month and i'm suppose to include my debit card number. Is this above board? I haven't received it yet.
I lost my job 3 years ago , have serve health issues and have no insurance since i can't work, it's a vicious cycle. What can I do? I don't own anything, nor do I have a job.

they are full of s**t..its a scare tatic and a scam.. he called me once and i said my sister is right here and she is a miami-dade police she wants to talk to you ..he then transferred me to the so called vice president of the company..so latin dude and became scared with her on the phone and hung up on my sister..never herd back from him again..what a pussy...tough guys hiding behind a 18888070511 number...you are going down little illegal alien mexican vice president running people credit reports without warrant

This number was attached to a company that made a hard inquiry into my credit with out my approval which my credit monitoring system picked up. I called to find out how they were able to do this (fearing ID theft!) and they gave me this number 888-807-0511. They  said they didn't have a case number under my name.They told me to have the credit bureau take it off because it must be a mistake. I made a mental note that this seemed strange and would look into later in the week.

The next day I got a call from a restricted number. I answered it and it was very similar to all the other comments "We are sending out a uniformed officer to serve you a summons" then gave me a number to call for more information (888-295-1624) and a case number. I called and the guy on the phone began talking to me about debt I owed from a credit card taken out in 2002. He told me a uniformed county sheriff's officer was going to come to my home and serve me the summons unless I agreed to payment on the phone. He went into details about how much a judge could charge me in court fees, etc. I told him I had to get to school but would call him back. He gave the name Anthony Brown (I may have misheard him) his number (888-295-1624).
When I called the sheriff's office, they told me their officers don't have time to go out of serve summons. She referred me to the FTC. They happily took my complaint.And also referred me to the state level of their same department to check on statute of limitations and other laws at the state level.
A week and a half later I got a call from an unknown number. When I googled it I saw that is was my county clerk's office. I listened to the message and AGAIN it was someone arranging for a sheriff's officer to serve me a summons. I called the clerk's office, not only do they not call ahead, but I was  not on file, AND NO ONE by the name the gentleman left works at the clerk's office.

So I called the number this supposed clerk left (that same number 888.-295-1624) I spoke with the same man who I had the week before. I told him that none of the information I had been given had checked out. I then told him that someone called me with the county clerk's office's number showing, but when I called the clerk's office, no one was there by that name. He said he wasn't sure what happened and asked for the man's name. I then asked how he was intending to sue me for a debt from 2002, he told me my last payment was in May 2006 (I was out of the country and paying off a credit card from college was not on my to do list I am sure!) and that CA statute of limitations was 7 years. I told him I was informed that it was actually 4. He then told me that he understood I was skeptical and that he wasn't going to argue with me and I had called to see what the summons was about and he told me and that I would understand that this was true when I received the summons.
The FTC was more than happy to get this updated information for my complaint.
It's 5 pm , I have been home all day and no one has shown to serve me a summons.

There are a Litigation Processing Office. I had a Lawsuit with there office 2 weeks ago. There was a hold on my license, so I called them. I had a traffic ticket I just had to pay. Its no big deal to get sued!

Hello Sidney,
 You are not an attorney but I am. You can be sued for violation of fair debt collection act for these complaints. It does not matter if you have an lawyer on retainer or not. Making a threat to file a lawsuit and not having the intensions to do so is in direct violation. I read your post and I am not making any accusations but it seems you may be employed by the company that is being complained about. A REAL attorney would know that the laws that are in place to protect these people have been violated. I must applaud you for your devotion and hard work trying to scare these poor people on even the internet. I would love to represent the people involed to put you and the people you represent out of business!

I received a call from them on October 10, asking if I was gonig to be home so they could serve me with a warrant. I was so caught of guard, and called the number to see what was going on. they told me that I also owed on an old Credit Card and if I did not make payment arrangements I would have to go to court as well. Not knowing right then if I did or did not owe the money, I gave them my Credit Card number. Now that I have had the time to do some research, this is a scam. I have now allowed them to draft 150.00 out of my account on 10/10, then again today for 150.00. I am calling the bank to cancel my debit card.

Todd-if you're for real....I'd take you up on it....I'm sick of the harrassment!
