It's very frustrating but peoole must not let them get away with this. Whqt if it had been my elderly Dad? He would have been afraid perhaps (if none of us were around to intercept the call) and may have tried to pay a fraudulent debt. This would possibly  cause a decent person to commit a crime of some sort in retaliation for the scam.

More people should demand that LEGAL ACTION be taken by the Attorney General's office
against these types of companies to shut them down.for good.

A Mrs. Hickman or Higman called and said I failed to pay Fifth Third Bank $377.64 in 2007 and now she has court order #58583 to collect $1987.98; had no address for the court and couldn't give her adress for security reasons. I had some choice words for her and told her not to call me again. She then began to call my nephew, sister and God knows who else the following week. When i called back and couldn't reach Mrs. Hickman, I.reached her supposedly supervisor, Mrs. Jordan, who apologized for her calling my relatives and said the calls were recorded. I didn't accept her apology and again asked for her location. She also stated she couldn't give it out and that she waa given the account by The Gateway Group and asked did I.owe Fifth Third Bank $109.67 in 2010. I told her I called Fifth Third Bank in Charlotte and they had no outstanding debt against me after speaking with two.people.

I contacted the NC Attorney General's office and they are investigating. This well and good only if they can begin  prosecuting these companies and awarding the victims of these scams huge amounts of money which would put them.out of business. It makes no sense to investigate if the company suffers no punishment.

We just had 2 messages on home and my cell exactly like this except the number is slightly different 704-612-5253, man named Kevin Lewis from location services left a recording saying it is a legal financial audit. I figured it's a scam or bill collector.

Did they give you a company name or any information

These people are pests and are harassing my family with threating calls that I must call them.  When I do call them I can never get anyone on the phone other than the so called answering service that directs my call to whom know where, where it appears someone picks up says some mumble jumble you cannot even understand and then the call gets lost.

They say they can't verify who you are and they are not giving out that kind of information to a stranger. Hello. You called us. I'm still not sure I know what their intentions are. But it sounds like someone gave my husbands name as a "reference" and that person is being audit. Although the person in question was a woman's name left on the voicemail. And when he called suddenly it was a mans name. "Patricia" and "Jesse" sound nothing alike. I think they're crazy

Yeah when I called and asked for the address and Business Lic. # they hung up on me.

Also they can't give out an address because my husband may come and kill her. Wow.

Her name was Mrs Hardy at extension 111. We called and they are saying that he was put down as a reference. The voicemail stated one name and when we called it was a different name. It's a scam!

Did the person calling give you there name and did they say what company they are calling for?

They say they are "Audit Management" and will not give out an address because she is saying that is their private information.

My husband received a call from this number yesterday saying he has a petition for an internal audit. And the number was WPT5E203. And that he or his legal representative needed to call them immediately. Glad I googled this!

Sorry, I meant have they tried to call you anymore?

Have they tried to all you anymore?

Yes they will refuse to give you the name of the company

They are a debt collector.  I did not get the name of company they represent and they did not provide it.  They were trying to get information regarding my adult son.  However, they did not have his name correct.  If they cannot correctly pronounce the name of the person that they are trying to get information about, then I am not going to provide them with any information.  I can easily state that I do not know the person they are asking for.

What's sad is there is probably people giving them there debit card numbers because they are scared. I have turned all the information. I have to Fifth third bank

My daughter was doing some research and came up with this information:

704-612-5315

Central Office: GRTQRRCKWL, NC - VOLO COMMUNICATIONS OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. - NC

My daughter was doing some research and found this company information:

I called Fifth Third and I told them about this company calling around, I gave them all the information I had and they are going to investigate.

The problem with these folks is that they will not tell you what there address is or provide you with documentation.  The minute you ask them a question they try and out talk you.  They have threatened my daughter with a lien on her car,file federal charges,they have called me and her aunt in GA with scare tactics.  I know that they can't put a lien on her car or federal charges for debt.  They indicated this was 53 as well.

Did they tell you that you would have to pay by debit card?

They will not give you a name, I called them back and asked for a  license number and address and they hung up on me and won't give me any information about the company,

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

Yes they tried the same thing with me, are you in NC, if so they can't put a lien on anything

Were you ever able to get a company name out of these people? Because no one would tell me what the company name was just they are a location service for a Audit Management Company.

Yeah, and when I tried to get the address they won't give it to you and they won't even give you the real name of the company

My elderly mother who is on disability got a call from a Mrs. Hickman @ 704-612-5315. She proceede to to tell my mother she is in the process of being audited due to owing Fifth 3rd bank $68.00 which is now $2008.00 and they are willing to settle it down to $608.00. If not they will begin to take funds out of her disability check. When I try to call Mrs. Hickman, they answer the phone with no company name and her voicemail hangs up on you. No one in the "office" can give me any information as to what this is about or if they can even locate her so called "case file". All everyone in the office can tell me is your case is in the "Audit Management Dept."

They are operating in NC.
