scum....CASEY CAM/NEEDED TO LET ME KNOW THEY NEEDED TO SEVE ME PAPER AND I TOLD HER THAT WAS FANTASTIC.  SAID THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE ONE MORE ATTEMPT TO DELIVER IT.  I SAID FANTASTIC AND SHE GIGGLED AND I PROCEEDED TO TO HER TO DO NOT CALL ME AT WORK EVER AGAIN AND I CONTINUED TO OVERTALK HER.  HEY...YOU WANNA PLAY A GAME...BRING IT.  DUMB A***S I HAVE NO DEBT WITH THIS SCUM AND WOULD NEVER EVER SEND THEM MONEY!!!

They didn't leave a message. I didn't call back.

Person stating that I had until 1a.m. EST to phone 1-888-576-1260.  They also called my sons cell phone in another state and my daughters cell phone in still another state and harassed them as well.  The bill they are calling about belongs to my ex-husband and although I filed a complaint with thej AG's office and the company stated they would not longer contact me, they have begun again

They called me saying they needed my information to confirm some ladies residence to the county I live in.  Never heard of her before.  Stupid scammers.  It was paystar international and I talked to jensen.

So is this Pay Star a legit collection agency or is it a scam?

Called me about son. Same as above. When I inquired, I was treated as adversarial. When I persisted, "Steven Kline" said he was from Paystar International.

IGNORE THE SCAMMERS.

They are a newish collection company, probably grown out from another collection company/law firm.

My mother got a call today from paystar about a debt i owed. the name i was to ask for was karen jensen. i called and after being on hold was told by a man who refused to reveal his name said she was in a meeting. he was nice at first then fast became horrible. told me i was being sued for a chase visa card i opened in may 2004 and closed june 2007. i told him that was incorect bc i have not had one credit card since college in 2000. he kept saying yes u did stop lying to me. it was the only visa u ever owned. i said no it wasnt, i owned a prepaid and also had a visa debit from capital one with no debt. my identity was stolen so that may be a card in my name. he started yelling at me, yes yelling that i am a liar and a bad person. he said i also am an authorized sears card user. i said yes i WAS in 2001 for my nanny job but never held the card or even used it.he just kept yelling and saying im a horrible person and ill be served with arrest warrant today. i said for what?. the whole time never raising my voice and the last thing he said was i cant talk t you when you are constantly screaming obscenities at me. then he hung up on me.i was left feeling helpless esp since i never raised my voice or yelled obscenities.

Received call yesterday, caller ID said it was from Nationwide Processing and the # on the ID was 631-755-3087.  Message stated that a family member had given the name of a member of my household as an 'emergency contact'.  A woman by the name of Karen Jensen said it was concerning a legal matter for the family member and gave a case number. She said that the emergency contact was to relay the message and to call 866-300-7907.  I didn't call them back and won't relay the message.  This is either an attempt to collect an old debt or some type of scam. Beware!

Head Debt Collectors:
Anthony Picone
Barry Calvagna
Huntington Station, NY

We thought this scam died back in the nineties, but it is alive and well, operating from Huntington Station, from New York. Debt buyers United Abstract Group, Inc., are bottom feeders who use their entity of C. Barry & Associates, LLC, who operate out of the same address to lie, intimidate and totally misrepresent their illegal debt collection practices.

Owners Barry Calvagna and Anthony Picone are about to feel the wrath of the legal system for their blatant disregard for the law and consumer rights. Not to mention the fact that we could NOT locate one state where they are licensed or bonded in.

Calls to their office result in debt collectors who don?t have any answer (they are all operators and not sure if the phones they answer are a law office) to one brazen gutter tramp who insisted they are the law office of Michael Greenberg who files suits on debts. Their notices violate a host of federal and state laws; their accounts are out of statutes, which show how desperate these fools really are.

Take a look below at the incredibly stupid notice they are sending out, see if you can count how many FDCPA violations it has. To say these sewer rats are dumb is an understatement. These folks have NOT a clue of what they are doing; here is what we found on their website:

?These are some of the services that we offer:

Title Search and Retrieval

Real Estate Closings

Debt Sales And Acquisitions

Charge-off Credit Card Debt Recovery

Medical Self Pay/Insurance Claims Recovery

Education/Tuition Recovery?

?We offer investment opportunities for the serious investor.?

If you cannot even send out a letter that is in compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, how in the world can you make money doing what they claim, above? ? (I had to keep asking myself??How could anyone be this dumb?)

A SERIOUS INVESTOR would need a LOT of money to pay their legal fees because our impression of these dummies is they can?t do anything right, they have unprofessional and under-trained collectors working for them and who uses this scam anymore?

Take a look at what they are sending out from the old, worthless, out of statute portfolios they are desperately trying to collect on because it?s hard to believe that any debt collector is really this STUPID!

Paystar called and threatened to repossess my car and have me taken to jail if I didn't pay.  I stupidly paid.  Well, my parents paid the balance on a credit card and now I am paying them back.  I realize I got ripped off, but if anyone has any information as to how I can stop the payments or get the amount ($3,000) reversed I would appreciate it.  I can't just stop making the payments because it would ruin my parents credit rating.

The company associated with this number 18662998558 are quite the tricksters. They first call you on this number 16317753087 and pretend to be a different company. They inform you that if you do not contact them by noon the next day, then they will file a civil suit case against you or your family member. The give you this number 18662998558. You call this number and an answering service transfers your calls based on a case number. At this point, they try to get you to admit to either being that person or helping them locate that person. DO NOT CALL TEHM OR PAY THEM. I HAVE REPORTED THEM TO THE NY AND KY STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Just like all you of you same thing happened to me. Except the number they gave me was 1-866-299-8558, the guys name was Thomas Levy. When I called a lady answered saying "how may I direct your call?" They called my dads workplace and my mom answered and they told her in spanish if I had any troubles lately because they were calling regarding a civil complaint. The idiot my mom spoke to said she was from the texas civil courts. My mom left me a frantic message and I called them immediately. I was told I would be summoned tomorrow and that I was being sued on a loan that my ex husband and I had back in 2000. Long story short I was about to pay 2000 to be left alone but when I got home and looked at the email the moron sent me my name was mispelled. Everything wasn't right so I goggled these idiots and saw these postings. Thanks to you guys and my parents I was about to make the biggest mistake and pay these idiots because I thought I was being sued!

the only problem with reporting to the attorney's general office, is they then turn all of your unknown information over to the criminals when they investigate.  So then they have more info on you.  no wonder they are never caught or prosecuted.

Called my mom at 8:00 am and said that I will be summoned to court on a Civil issue and that I needed to call 1-888-210-8874 which was supposed to be Foster and Freedman attornies. When I called it seemed very unprofessional and strange. I had to ask if this was Foster and Freedman because they didn't have any kind of greeting. She said yes and asked me for an account #. I was tranfered to Nancy Stevens and was told that I owed on an old credit card. The rest of the conversation was exactly the same as all of the other comments on this page. This is a scam. Do not pay them anything. If you do owe the debt pay it directly to the party that it is owed. They are also using these #'s 888-855-0751, 631-755-3075, and 888-210-8874.

My mother received a phone call today with whom I have not lived with for 9 years!! saying i had to call this number by 4:00 pm or I would have to go to court. I called the number and the name GARY WALLACE said i had an old debt that needed to be paid. He asked what amount i could pay TODAY!! When i told him $1000.00 he told me to hold on while he "called" the attorneys to make this offer. He came back on the line and said $1600 I told him i could make this in 2 payments and then he asked what I could pay today to settle in full i told him $1200. He then put me on hold aghain and "discussed" my matter and said they would accept this amount. That i would be getting an email from PAYSTAR INTERNATIONAL. He was very pushy and wanted me to pay $100.00 today. I almost did but told him NO i would pay it all at once I wanted to discuss this with my husband. THANKS BE TO GOD!! my mother thought it was strange and did not understand how they got her new unlisted number. This debt was from 1999. and she thought it was strange thatthey said they could put a lien on my vehicle when we owned it! Thank you to everyone who wrote about this company!! because we almost paid them $1200!! and when i went back and researched my paperwork I had already paid this back in 2001!!! The name on the email was DAWN SUMMERS "Account Manager" cc Gary Wallace!!

Called my nephew (same last name) said he was a reference.  I have NEVER used him as a reference.  Caller said a civil complaint was filed against me by Jacob and Kline.  They then left a number for me to call back 888-855-0751.  Her name was Stacy.  I checked into online and saw that no one had filed suit against me.  I found this site online and I am VERY thankful for everyone who has left their story.  I will not accept their calls or call them back.

I also received a message today to call Stacy Wilson regarding a complaint that was received today on a person I have not seen or heard of in 8 years.I am unsure how they were able to get my number or connect me to this person. Ms. Wilson stated that they needed this person to call Jacobs and Klein to resolve this matter. Ms. Wilson gave 1-888-855-0751 as the number to call and a case number.

I did call the number and was given an answering machine. I will not call back now after seeing this.

Thanks everyone for posting your calls.

My daughter got a phone call from a lady today who said the same as above.  These people have called me at work(?)in the past wanting me to pay for my adult daughter(who does not live with me)I googled their number and found who they were and also found information that what they were offering me was against the law!  I quit answering my phone. per internet info these people are referred as "pond scum"

The address for the PayStar/Jacob & Klein scam is, not surprisingly, a UPS Store mailbox:

PayStar/Jacob & Klein
273 Walt Whitman Rd. #310
Huntington Station, NY 11746

If you are targeted by these crooks, be sure to report them to all the following federal and state law enforcement agencies (most of which you can do online or over the phone):

1) The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for protecting the country's financial infrastructure and payment systems from international and domestic threats. Call or write your local Secret Service field office to alert them to the details of this attempted extortion. The addresses and phone numbers for the local Secret Service field offices are listed at http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml or in your phone book.

2) Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov  Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by extortionists over the phone. And if the crooks claim to be law enforcement or lawyers, officers of the court or bankers, be sure to include that information in your report.

3) File a complaint with your local police. Most police departments will take a report over the phone.  Be sure to tell them that you're being targeted by an extortionist and give them all the details.

4) File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.naag.org

5) File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en

6) Since these crooks are scamming from New York, file a complaint with the New York Attorney General at http://www.oag.state.ny.us/bureaus/consumer_frauds/contact.html or call 800-771-7755

If these crooks call back, promise them nothing, pay them nothing and tell them nothing other than that you know they're a scam and that you've reported them to federal and state law enforcement. (And be sure to report them to all the agencies above each time they call you.)

Hope this helps.

Called my mother and told her they were the police and had warrant for arrest for my brother. Also told her that she could take care of matter for him in his behalf. Threatened her with scare tactics and now my mother is near an emotional breakdown. What a class act these people are. After some of my own info search, I discovered that this is a debt over 6 years old and the Statute of Lomitations has run out on it. Plain ans simple Jacobs ans Klien are nothing more then bottom feeders and scammers. Spoke with our family attorney about this situation and if I can find all the info needed on these people that there can be a lawsuit filed against them for their actions. They have in this situation already
committed over 15 violations. Some state and some federal.  Time to give them what they deserve.

woman calls looking for in-laws,about civil complaint,call was 1:45pm saying call back by 12:00pm called them she gets real nasty says too bad go ahead report me,the woman is a "CAPITAL C" call them back and bust their stones!!!!

My brother called me telling me that Scott Silver from Jacobs and Klein Law Offices had called him and told my brother that he need to have me call Law Offices of Jacob and Klein by 2pm or I would be summons. I am not sure what all detail they told my brother but enough to get him scared, they have violated my privacy rights. I pull paperwork and pawned them off unitl 4 pm and come to find out that the bad debt was out (statue of limitations) so when they called back and I explained this to Scott Silver and told him that I had contacted my attoney, I asked for that company to show proof of validation, he began to get mad and hung up on me. Not sure now, but my lawyer said to contact him if futher complaints occur.

I received a call form a stacy Wilson from Civil complants that I was being issue a summons by clark county if I did not respond by 12noon 1/2/09. and to please call 1-888-855-0751 Jacobs & Klein

Received a call from a Stacey Wilson from a Nationwide Processing telling me that a civil summons for involving an automobile was issued in my name and I was to call the law firm of Jacobs&kline for more info. They gave me case number.I thought it sounded odd and talked to a friend who suggested I look up on internet. Thanks to this site I found out it's a scam and I will not call. Thanks to everyone out there who took the time to write your experience here. God Bless you and use your head looking out for these scammers.

Recieved a call from an unknown caller, 631-755-3087  in regards to a summons being issued to me for a debt 8 years old, from a Steven Randolph from "Nationwide Processing", as mentioned in the voicemail, to contact "Jacobs and Klein Law Firm", 888-855-0751. They stated that I needed to contact them to get this process resolved. I called and was transfered to Fred Fisher, gave him my ref #, and he told me to hold on for a few seconds so he can call the Sherrif's Department to hold my case file. He literally took seconds to get back to me. That set my "I don't know about this" meter off immediately. We quickly discussed my case and he just as quickly got to the subject of money to pay them so they can pay the creditor. No one was rude in any way but I still feel that this is a scam. I have searched for the law firm online but can not seem to find it. In this day and age what law firm would NOT have a web site?

Got a tel call from Steven Randolf  directing me to Susan Klein of Jacobs & Klein law offices @ 8888550751 concerning the serving of a summons today in my daughters county of residence &  given a case #. The summons would be stopped & a hardship discount would be given if paid immediately.  We were threatened with a lien on my daughter's vehicle if no immediate action was taken & told if the vehicle was paid off after this notification we would be guilty of a federal crime & my credit  rating would be tarnished. Upon investigation it was nothing more  than  a scare tactic. People acting like that are worthless scum.

Stephen with Jacobs & Klein called my mother-in-law at work looking for my husband and said that my husband would be sued at 2:00 p.m. and gave the county and fake case number of the lawsuit.  My husband called him and Stephen said all of our assets would be seized if we did not cooperate and verify the last 4 digits of social security number.  He had our address, some banking and loan information.  THIS IS A SCAM!!  Do not respond.  I am going to have my attorney call this bozo and also report this scam.  Further, if you are sued you must be served in writing by a sheriff or by certified mail and you have a certain amount of days to respond to a lawsuit.  THEY DO NOT CALL YOU AND MAKE THREATS and tell you your case will be heard that day and ask you for personal information.

Called the house and said brother had given our name as an emergency contact.  Said it was regarding a legal matter and to give my brother a message to call 1-888-855-0751 and gave a case number.  Identified themselves as Jacobs & Klein.
