I got a call from this number, asking me if this was my address and I stated no. They then asked for my address & I asked why, they stated they wanted it so they could come f**k me! I hung up, kinda scared they were so close to knowing my actual address! It was a guy with an Arabic accent =/

Im getting calls from 1-888-909-1990 x 127 Corey Marshall.  Claims to be from bad check and fraud devision.  i called them out on being a fraud and they flipped and told me to be ready for court etc.  when i asked for verification on that loan they claimed was unpaid they told me it would take over a week before they could get me any information.  then i was told if i call back one more time that  i would have harrasment charges brought against me. lol.  what a bunch of cowards.  when people are in a slump you should help if possible.  guide them in the right direction if nothing else, but to con people into paying you money and acting as if you are some investigator who has the authority to put you in jail if you dont pay is discusting.  there is no words that can describe these people.  stop trying to make a dollar by robbin folks and make an honest livin you scum suckin pieces of s**t.

I got a call from this number and also talked to Corey Marshell. Corey said that he was a fraud investigator and i had written a bad check which i have NEVER done before. He wanted me to pay 920 doller with a debit card, not a check or any other kind of payment. My husband was handeling it and asking questions like who he was what was his phone number so he can call him back, and any documentation prooving i owe this  money to them. Mr. Corey flipped out yelling at him sayin ghe was being extremly rude and couldnt beleive he was acting this way, and hung up on him. Then Corey called me back at work explaing what had happend and said i have an hour to call this number 888-909-1990 to speak with a clerk to make the payment or a summonds would be signed and i will be served. i gave my husband the phone number and he called it. My huabdn again was asking quesitons and corey got back on the phone and YELLED at him tellin ghim that thats it we have not more options we will be served. The Corey again calls me at work to tell me this and that i have no more chances to make a payment and the summonds is comeing. That is when i googled this phone number and saw that i am not the only one who this has happend to.

He says his name is Corey Marshell
He says the phone number is 888-909-1990
He says the company is C&C Services

This guy is an idiot.  I am an attorney in Arkansas.  This guy was calling my client and harrassing him.  One telephone call and letter from me put a stop to his non-sense.

I got the same call from Corey Marshall but he was actually calling about something I actually owned, I talked to him and almost paid him. Until I called my lawyer. Glad It sounded a little fishy and I checked into it.

I also got a call from an investigator Bob Collins from 888-909-1990 and I tried calling the number back and it is blocked by the account owner and I am to to return the call in a timely fashion.

My sister just got a call from these people saying that she was associated with my husbands account - but they didn't say what- and she has to call them back to be cleared of any wrong doing because of fraud. My information was stolen from a doctor clinic, my husband is who my insurance is through and my sister is an emergency contact. Sounds like a whole bunch of bull to me. I've got to find the contact for the police department that is handling the theft of records and report this. Wouldn't a letter have been sent to our house if we owed money?

got a call from a gal at this number saying they were in the fraud department and was investagating my wife. i looked up the number on this wonderful site and found out they are B.S.

dont pay them a thing.

Just got a message from these people looking for my ex sister in law, who hasn't lived in my state for 17 years.  Said something about a fraud investigation, and that if she didn't return the phone call, they would start pursuing her parents.
I thought it was against the law to use threat tactics. I don't know where my ex sis in law is, but they sounded so official that I googled the number just to see if these people were for real.
They must be new to the collection business to use complete lies.

a mister eddie jones called representing himself as the case investigator, get this, he called my ex wife of 22 years indicating i would be summunds for fraud if she didnt cooperate. what a scam. would certainly like a face to face with him, but that gutless wonder could not fathum that, he can only work the phone.

Corey Marshall also just tried to scam me into paying cash for bogus basketball tickets. Watch out of anyone using this name. His email address is now CoreyMarshall2008@hotmail.com

I resent the fact that you posted that s**t about me on here, I corey marshall, using the email coreymarshall2008@hotmail, Have never called anyone from any bogus number or anything of the sort. As for the tickets, because i offered to email them upfront, does not mean its a scam. Thank You very much Sir. I would appreciate you not posting this s**t about me.

Just recieved a voice message from a guy named Ben. He got my number from a resume I posted online. Said he had an opportunity in the Chicago area and I should call him. I'm decided to Google the number and found this site. It never hurts to to be a bit cynical these days

got a call on home phone.....lady presents herself as case investigator! says she sent out a letter to my sheriffs office

Close this account you had. Open another account at a different bank.  Contact your employers and their HR office and inform them of the issue.  These lowlife scum will try to get any and all information out of anyone they can.

Play their game and demand original signed documention/date it went delinquent/when they got it in their "office" in writing.  Also, find out what their address is and send, by registered mail a STOP CALL letter/A Debt Validation Letter-with your personal requests as well.

You can get all of these forms at various websites...  FairDebtCollection has a lot of the information you need.  Also, contact and file complaints with your state Attorney General...  and the FTC.  Document all calls/messages/etc.  

Cut them off at the pass and put them in their place.  They are scum.

Have any of you guys ever bought tickets on craigslist and later paid the person?

There is a scam going around where the guy gets your information by asking you to western union him the payment for tickets.

You know what, America is a great place to live, but it seems to be getting worse by the minute with everyone pointing fingers at this guy and that guy.  If we'd just take care of our financial responsibilities and stop trying to "BEAT THE SYSTEM" then no one would need to look for anyone regarding an outstanding debt/bill!  You people fail to realize that if you paid your bill(s) these guys wouldn't have a JOB.  Therefore, get your financial house in order.  And I agree with you, most of these people are *SSHOLES, but then again so are you for putting yourself in a situation such as this.  To hell with them and you finger pointers, you're just as guilty, if not more than these guys!  Try not paying your light, gas, or mortgage bill and see what happens.

I resent the fact that you posted that s*** about me on here, I corey marshall, using the email coreymarshall2008@hotmail, Have never called anyone from any bogus number or anything of the sort. As for the tickets, because i offered to email them upfront, does not mean its a scam. Thank You very much Sir. I would appreciate you not posting this s*** about me.

Okay, these people are at it again... different name, different number, but the same place.... this time they called my parents home and was looking for my husband.  I did a little investigating myself and found out it was the same people.  It's now 9 months later.  Not good... calling others to find him.  he has no outstanding anything... thank goodness I am privy to clerk of court items for surrounding counties and nothing there for him.   Once again, i will be reporting them... this is B.S   My poor parents.  They are elderly of course these type of people try to prey on the weaker ones.  But, to their surprise they, my parents, are not at all weak like that.  
They are now doing business as Raj Servicing....so be careful everyone of this hoax!!!! They are a joke>  They are trying to scare you to get money out of you.....

Fake Debt Collectors ? Terrorizing Consumers

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2010/01/ks_debt_collection.html   latest release of information on this scam

http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm
Attorney General Darrell McGraw took the extraordinary step today of warning the public about a band of scam artists making threats to consumers who allegedly obtained Internet payday loans in West Virginia and across the nation. The consumers they threaten never obtained a loan at all or paid it off years ago.

Internet payday loans are short-term loans or cash advances, usually for 14 days, made over the Internet via interactive web sites and secured by an agreement authorizing debits of the loan and all fees owed from the consumer?s checking account. These loans typically charge interest rates ranging from 600-800 APR and are unlawful in West Virginia.

The scam artists, who speak English with a foreign accent, call themselves ?U.S. National Bank,? ?Federal Investigation Bureau,? ?United Legal Processing? and numerous other phony names. They refuse to disclose real names and addresses and are believed to be operating ?off the grid? from homes, automobiles, or from off shore locations or foreign countries, including India. Since the scammers have kept themselves purposely well hidden, thus far no law enforcement agencies have succeeded in locating or shutting them down.

The scammers typically pose as law enforcement officers, investigators, lawyers, and bankers and threaten consumers that they will be arrested for ?bank fraud? or other fictitious crimes unless money is wired immediately. They simultaneously scare and confuse consumers by using meaningless legalese gobbledygook phrases such as, ?We are downloading warrants against you? or ?We are filing an affidavit against you.? Consumers who don?t immediately fall for the scam are warned, ?Only God can help you now.?

The scammers almost always call consumers at work several times a day, and tell their supervisors, ?Your employee has committed fraud and is about to be arrested.? Such threats have proven unsettling even to the most savvy consumers and employers who suspect the calls are fraudulent.

Attorney General McGraw stated, ?Ordinarily my office protects consumers from fraudulent activities by seeking injunctions in court. But legal action cannot be taken until the scam artists can be located. Even then, it is unlikely that the persons behind the fraudulent calls and extortionist threats would obey a court order. In this case, the consumer?s best defense is to be armed with the knowledge of the scam so that all demands for money can be resisted, despite the false but scarey threats of arrest.?

McGraw added, ?Because the fraudsters make a special point of calling consumers repeatedly at work, employers must understand that the consumers are innocent victims of a criminal enterprise and cannot stop the calls from coming. I also wish to assure the citizens of West Virginia that my office will continue to do everything possible to locate and shut down the outlaw debt collectors.?

More information about this fraudulent debt collection scheme is available at the Attorney General?s website, www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam. Any consumers who have been threatened by these persons or wish to file a complaint about another consumer matter may do so by calling the Consumer Protection Hot Line, 1-800-368-8808, or by obtaining a complaint form from the Attorney General?s web site.

It's a debt collection scam. And all their threats are false and illegal.
This is a very active group of scammers, many of whom are calling from India (and probably other countries) and are in cahoots with a group of American pay day loan scammers. They attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. Their trademark is to use meaningless legalese gobblygook phrases like "We are downloading warrants against you" or "We are filing an affidavit against you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with something like this ridiculous phrase: "If you don't pay then only God can help you."
Typical of many financial scams of this variety, they usually demand payment via Western Union or MoneyGram or credit card. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, United Pay Services, National Processing, White Collar Crime Unit and many more.  These criminals also use many phone numbers from many area codes; they're probably using caller-id spoofing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location.
The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, or demanding your lawyer's name so they can sue you, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection.  (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)
The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money.
A consumer posting a complaint about these same scammers at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-718-831-7157 notes that 718-831-7157 is associated with an India-based "outsourcing" telephone bank.  Though a reverse search on WhitePages.com shows that 718-831-7157 is an unlisted land line in New York City, information on Debtbuyers.Com shows that that number is used by India-based Intellisourze. (Source: http://www.debtbuyers.com/debtbuyers.asp ) My guess is that it's a VoIP phone number.
This is another piece of the puzzle that fits in perfectly with other information about this scam. There are some reports on 800Notes that have suggested that the crooks behind this offshore scam are also the crooks behind the notorious Bass/Ellis Crosby & Assoc./States Predisposition scams in Florida and Georgia. The interesting thing is that the number of complaints on here about the US National Bank/US Legal Investigation/Federal Investigation scam skyrocketed *after* April 7, 2008 when Florida obtained a $1.3 million judgment against Ted Ellis Crosby, shutdown his operations and barred him from ever conducting debt collections in Florida (Read http://myfloridalegal.com/newsrel.nsf/newsrel ... 5257424005858A6 ) There's certainly a good chance that the crooks placing these calls from India are doing so on behalf of the American crooks behind the Crosby/Bass/States Predisposition scams.
Here's the contact information for the phone bank in India:

(Source: http://whois.domaintools.com/intellisourze.com )
Though scam calls from these crooks have been going on long before May 8, the frequency of complaints about these calls increased considerably after Crosby was shut down in early April.
This is conjecture, but appearances suggest that Crosby and company were originally running a two-pronged payday loan scam operation -- with some calls being made from Jacksonville, Florida and other calls being made from a phone bank in India (and possibly other countries); then, after the Florida Attorney General shut down the Crosby scams in Florida, the Crosby crooks transferred most of their scam efforts to the India phone bank.

If you are targeted by these criminals, 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.wvago.gov
5.    File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en
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 law enforcement. (And be sure to report them to all the agencies above each time they call you.)

By the way, here's just a small sample of numbers used by this particular group of scammers. Read the reports and you'll see the same pattern time and again -- phony organization names, thick foreign accents, and oddly worded threats that are so melodramatic and ridiculous that it's laughable:

Scam alert: Bogus debt collectors
By Leslie McFadden ? Bankrate.com
Monday, Aug. 3
Posted 2 p.m.
Bankrate reporter Leslie McFadden contributed this entry.
This scam isn't technically about credit cards, but it is scary enough to post a warning. The Better Business Bureau issued an alert today saying consumers across the country are getting phone calls from bogus debt collectors claiming default on a payday loan. Of course, the consumer needs to pay a large fee to avoid arrest -- as much as $1,000.
The caller poses as a lawyer, and may threaten extradition to face trial if the consumer doesn't pay up immediately.
What makes these calls alarming -- and perhaps convincing -- is that the perpetrators reference the consumer's personal information, such as the person's Social Security number, driver's license number, previous bank account numbers, home address -- even personal references.
"The amount of information they have is really troubling," says BBB spokeswoman Alison Southwick. She adds that the amount of data points to a possible security breach.
Spread the word to your friends and family: Don't give out personal or financial information to an unknown caller. Scammers can spoof Caller ID to display different numbers, so trust your instincts over technology.
The BBB offers these tips:
?    Ask the debt collector to provide official documentation which substantiates the debt.
?    Do not provide or confirm any bank account, credit card or other personal information over the phone until you have confirmed the legitimacy of the call.
?    File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission online if the caller is abusive, uses threats or otherwise violates federal telemarketing laws or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
?    File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau online if you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you.

Calling me at work... not cool

I have received a call from those people too harassing my parents number saying I'm being charged with fraud from some payday account.  they were telling me that they are lawyers and have a case filed with my county. then I proceed to call them today to tell them I cant make any more payments due to loss of job the number cant be reached. does anyone know anything bout them? since i cant stop payments with them since i cant reach them i will have to stop payments from my bank

Called from Investigator Gia Smith saying my son is being sought on internet fraud and frauding a merchant. I asked if she was from a debt collectors office and she said "No We are not debt collectors". She rambled on and was very tangential in what exactly was wrong. And kept telling me he was being investigated for internet fraud.

got the call today from 1-888-909-1990.  i didnt answer as i never do 800 numbers and they leeft voicemail.  said their name was something like hawk or something couldnt make it out.  the person they asked for was my friends mom who i have not talked to in months.  i know that she dont owe any money to colllections or anything  since my friend tells me about his mom.  hopefully they wont call me back as i dont talk to her lol.

I have been receiving the same type of phone calls for over 4 years now.  They call for months on end and then the calls stop for a few months and then start again.  They are a payday loan company trying to fraud people in to paying for something they don't owe.  I also received the phone calls from Investigator Rose and was told I would be charged with internet fraud, etc.  What a joke.  Someone should do something about this company.

Had the number on my caller ID daily for almost 3 weeks...finaally answered and it was a recording...when i followed the directions (press 2 if this is not you) and i was directed to Ms. Storm. I gave her my number and asked her to remove me from the list or the case file or whatever and she said although a computer can call me over and over again- she needed my case number to remove my phone number- I DONT HAVE A CASE NUMBER! she hung up on me after i told her its not my goddamn problem who has a case- it IS my problem that im being harrassed for someone elses case.

The Check and Credit Co left a text message on my 9 year old daughter's phone.  Said call immediately with a "case" number.  They used the same 888-909-1990.  Googled it and found many people are harassed by this same co.

A girl named "Gia Smith" called and stated she was an investigator for CCS and I am wanted for 3 counts of fraud. And that I am offically notified and will need to call her asap and then make arrangements to go to court so they can put me in jail.

I have also received the same message. C&C services Investigator Stevens from the Fire Dept. Have received several complaints about me. Gave a # with NC in between it, I guess to convince me that it was infact North Carolina calling. Same # 888-909-1990, x 125

bull
you must work for them  
the illegal methods they use are enough to get them thrown in jail
there is no way these scam artists are going to show their faces in a court
