Called. Left no message.

First, it's appreciated that everyone posted here. However, since no one listed any other numbers being called from (spoofed or real), any call-back numbers given, a company name it took much digging to verify that this is, indeed, a number connected to the companies listed below.
In addition, listing the other numbers helps others being called confirm what they're reading on other phone listing about these folks.

There are complaints about them all over the internet for harassing people that do not owe the debt, threatening to arrest people for a debt, telling people the only way they'll stop calling is to pay "court costs" on an alleged suit they filed, etc.  According to some of the MANY complaint pages and numbers they've called using, it seems they call about debts that are 5-10 years old, don't care if they were paid or not because they want money.  There are people who have fallen for this, and stated that they paid, and are STILL waiting on getting the documentation of the debt from them.  Of course, their story is that they sent it out ... yeah, right.
What's laughable is one page on their website that says they follow the law during collection attempts.  OBVIOUSLY, NOT!  THEY have an F rating with the FL BBB (see below).

By the way, it would seem to me that, IF you had a bad debt, it would show on your credit report (if still eligible to be reported).  IF you do have a bad debt on your credit report, you might want to consult an attorney and/or the original creditor, rather than these folks who obviously could care less about the law.  [I am NOT an attorney, nor do I profess to be one.  I am NOT dispensing ?legal advice,? simply giving my opinion!]

IF they were calling about a legitimate debt, they would NOT be calling to see if you'll be home all day on certain day to "deliver legal documents" or "subpeona."  A legit collector CANNOT discuss your bill with anyone else OR threaten to arrest you and/or send you to debtor's prison, etc.

Make yourself aware of the rules in the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT.--http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.shtm  
Here is more info on it from the FTC Consumer information -- http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection
It's glaringly apparent that these folks enjoy breaking most of these rules.

Hope this helps someone!

Due to the high volume of information that we receive, we are unable to reply to every submission; however, we appreciate the information that you have provided.?  
[NOTE: As far as I?m personally concerned, the behavior of these companies IS a form of domestic terrorism, although the FBI may not.]

It also occurs to me that, particularly on the GreenDot/Prepaid card ?payments,? since they are apparently difficult to trace, I seriously doubt they are reporting these funds on their income taxes === tax evasion.  (That?s the way they finally got Al Capone!)  The IRS has forms for reporting suspected evasion, and even a reward form you can complete for if you help them catch the folks!
http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/How-Do-You-Rep ... aud-Activity%3F   (I?m 99% sure it?s the Form 3949-A that you?ll want to complete if you?ve been swindled by these folks.)    It looks like Form 211 is to claim a reward!
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3949a.pdf   -- Form 3949-A
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f211.pdf  -- Reward form

   I personally don?t care WHICH branch of the government goes after these people, as long as THEY get REAL FEDERAL ARREST WARRANTS out on them!!  So, if you?ve been taken in by these folks, besides filing with the above, don?t forget the IRS!  (You KNOW they like going after money!!!)

It may not help, but it certainly wouldn?t hurt to fill the mailboxes at the White House with letters about these folks.  If the President wants to get involved with courts and everyday peoples? lives, then he needs to get involved in THIS!
http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact  -- to the right side of the page, there are links for leaving online comments, writing a letter, or calling the White House.



I'd suggest giving a list of time, date, phone number, and anyone's name you were given on these calls...EVEN if you didn't answer or it went to VM.

SUGGESTIONS (again, I am NOT an attorney and am NOT attempting to dispense legal advice.  These are my PERSONAL suggestions)
1-IF you decide to answer one of their MANY calls from about 50 different telephone numbers (no, I?m not exaggerating), give them NO INFORMATION.  In fact, YOU MAKE THEM ANSWER QUESTIONS, and if they don?t, hang up on them!   I don?t know anything about spoofing/masking numbers, but there have been comments that they are VOIP?ing the majority of the numbers they?re calling from.  I do not doubt this, as a person said the number showing on her phone was that of the local police department.
2-Keep a running log of the date, time, telephone number, person calling and note of conversation to file with your complaints.  (Or, try to record the call, BUT they usually hang up when they?re told they?re being recorded.  ROFLOL, now how many LEGITIMATE collection agencies would do that?  NONE that I?ve ever heard!
3-Look up your state?s Statute of Limitations on debts that can be pursued in court (that you can still be sued for).  It seems to vary from 3-15years.
4-DO NOT allow them to intimidate or frighten you.  These idiots have even called the numbers attorneys, police officers, etc. with this scam.  Intelligent, they are NOT.  

USUAL PLOYS:
1-call friends, neighbors, relatives, employers, and you trying to intimidate you into paying JUST to make the calls stop (but, from looking online, they don?t stop?they just demand more). ? Ask these folks to also keep a log of the calls, give them this internet page to check.  Ask them to do a search for ANY of these company names.  They?ll soon realize it that these people are nothing but SCAMMERS.
2-??have important legal documents (or summons) to deliver, will you be home ---(day) from 8:30 to 4:30 to accept it??
3-?There?s a warrant out for your arrest UNLESS you send us $xxx TODAY?  -- they seem to prefer asking for the ?Green Dot? prepaid card and want you to call back with the numbers on back ? harder to trace where to $ goes, apparently.

COMPANY NAMES:
Goodman and Stern LLC, aka GSA Recovery, aka GSA Management Orlando, FL  ? AND/OR ? EIESNBURG, WHITMAN & ASSOCIATES LLC, Rubin and Weizman, LLC.


TYPE OF CALL:
SCAM AND/OR EXTORTION BY A DISREPUTABLE LICENSED COLLECTION AGENCY


By the way, in case you haven?t seen it, complaining DOES help!

Debt collection agency busted in Orlando
Federal investigation results in arrests, search warrants
Published On: Mar 11 2013 12:20:18 PM EDT   Updated On: Mar 01 2013 07:12:52 PM EST

Works for me!  I'd like to see EVERYONE make friends with the Feds and send out the complaints on these people DAILY!  Maybe the info below will help!

You do know they can spoof their phone numbers, right? That's not to say there aren't plenty of debt collection scammers in Orlando and other parts of the US, too, but when the Indian accent is as thick as quicksand, you can bet they calling from their mother land.

See info on next page.  Personally, I'd like to see the Feds bring back "chain-gang" prisons and put every one of these thieves in it breaking those big rocks into little ones 18hrs per day/7 days a week/365.  But, apparently, THAT would be violating THEIR rights.  Go figure.

I'm not sure what led you to assume they're from overseas.  They're in ORLANDO, FL, USA.  AND, they aren't the only group of scam collection agencies in Orlando ... OR in the US.

I WISH all the scammers were from overseas, as it seems the US has PLENTY right here.

PEOPLE GOOGLE KIRIT PATEL

HE IS THE INDIAN(DOT) SCUM BAG RUNNING A LEGIT FRONT BUSINESS IN SAN FRANSICO.

WHO HAS HAD ALL HIS ASSESTS AND BANK ACCOUNT FROZEN BY OUR GOVERNMENT

HE HAS ALREADY SCAMMED INNOCENT CASH STRAPED US CITIZENS OUT OF 5 PLUS MILLION

I FIND AMUSING TO LET THEM GO THROUGH THEIR ENTIRE CASE ON ME THEN LAY INTO THEM

BUT THE ULTIMATE IS PUT AN AIR HORN TO YOUR PHONE AND BLOW IT, MAYBE IF ENOUGH OF THESE WASTE OF HUMAN LIVES LOSE THEIR HEARING IT WILL ALL STOP

They phone a number that I have not lived at for 5 years.

Called my cell, said they have a civil legal matter to discuss , gave me a 5 digit "case" # to remember and placed me on hold to talk to the "attorney".
I said yea whatever because I have been thorugh this bogusness before, I knew what was coming next.
We have a civil complaint from Ace Payday loans and our client bla bla bla bla.
Never had an Ace payday loan ever.
They are working from the last 4 digits of your SS# and your name and phone #.
Do not agree to anything.Tell them you are being reported to the FTC and State attorney general and block them with your phone carrier.
Also I have Lifelock and fraud protection with the IRS, because my bank and my federal tax return were both hacked last year.
DO NOT volunteer any information.

I would love to.  these folks call and call and call....

I get calls from this number constantly saying its a legal matter nobody answers when i call it back

thank you for the info, I appreciate it, just sucks these people are able to get away with this because they are most likely overseas.

This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information from unscrupulous websites like the one you may have filled out an application with, and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.

ABC News released an investigative report on this scam a year ago:

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/phantom-debt-co ... ory?id=16512428

Just wanted to congratulate these morons on calling someone who works in law enforcement.  Based on the fact that you are trying to extort money from people, time to report you to my friends at the FBI.

If you think somebody can threaten you on the phone to toss your  A S S  in jail , then I own a bridge in the middle of the Pacific Ocean , somewhere  between  California  and  Hawaii  with no map ,  that I would like to sell you real cheap

They  are  LIARS  and  SCAMMERS  ,  Fraud ,  Phishing   Attacks , Spammers ,
Harassment  ,  Shysters  ,  Cronies  ,  Hoodlums  ,  Houligans  ,  Hustlers  ,  Vigil  Antees  ,  Thugs  ,  Ripoff   Artists  ,  BS  Artists  ,  Con  Artists  ,  Abuse,   INDIA   DOT  HEADS  ,   INDIA  T O W E L  HEADS  ,   ETC.
If  they  threaten  to  put  you  in  jail ,  they cant come to your house.
Only a policeman can come to your house and only if theres a warrant out for your arrest .
Do you really think that somebody can call you out of the clear blue sky and threaten to put you in jail over the phone ?
That is illegal .
THERE   ARE   NO   DEBTORS   PRISONS  IN  THE  USA.

I have been getting nasty calls from these people saying the same thing. I used to be a Paralegal and believe me, we would have never called a respondent in a case to tell them that we were going to serve them with a summons. Otherwise, they would just dodge the server. I would be interested in a class action as well. Contact me at mlbrown611@gmail.com if you have any class action information.

the problem is you won't be able to find them because they more than likely work overseas

Excellent report, could not have put it any better myself.  These guys are professional scam artists.  Don't answer and if you do hang up without giving them ANY information.

If you are getting calls from 9175806963 or 5168557145 I would like  to initiate a class law suit against these people. Please respond here if interested.

MUST BE A SCAM

I also received calls from this number (917-580-6963) its a verizon cell number its not attorneys office they work overseas. I contact the NY State Clerk of Courts office and received email back from them. They told me they are frauds. The company told me that I owed $4863.00 on a payday loan that they are going to come to my house within 72 hours to serve me on debt that is older then 5 years. In the state of Florida their statue of limitation on pay day loans is 5 yrs they can't collect on it. I also spoke to a gentleman from the NY county office and said that no attorney or judge is going to call you to tell you that they are going to serve you a summons. I live in Florida and I check the court in my state and nationwide and I have no outstanding payday loans or anything. Also my credit has to defaults summons or judgment its all in good standing. The lady told that she has received several complaints regarding these kind of companies and they are reported to the Attorney General in the state of NY. If they call hang up on them and don't give them any information. They buy information from people and then try to scare you saying the are going to come to your house and have you arrested or serve you a summons on something that you never done.
