Mr. Martinez keeps calling and threatening me.  I am contacting my attorney regarding this.

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.>

It started as a Private Call... stupidly I answered it.. They were lookiing for a family member saying they have unpaid debts and the are going to serve papers... very rude person on phone (David).   I called the 888-828-6608 number they provided.  Spoke with a Gina Morgan.  Gave her the case number - phony!!!  Said if this family member does not call they will serve papers...  Never happened.  If this is a legit company they would be sending into by MAIL to the person.  Also started threatening with law suits, civil action, blah blah, blah,  What I did find is what they are doing is illegal.   REPORT THEM.  They are scamming people.
They are harrassing all family members.  Why would they think this would work??

hi ! so in all this were u ever severed with papers or taken to court ???????

Got a call from a lady named gina morgan and she said she got complaint regarding my debt. I have to pay it or else they gonna go to court..She's so rude and disrespectful.. Anybody can help me to track and do some actions with this people? Her number is 714-453-1959... These people have no heart and try to victimized consumers...


For you gina morgan and your company...

     GOD knows what you've been doing..

(714)453-1947
(714)453-1947

I got a call from (714)453-1947  saying that I owed money and they have been harassing me and threatening me and my family. I dont know how these people at RS & Associates managed to get access to my parent's personal information (i.e. Date of birth, recent Credit Card Payments, etc) they were asking for a settlement of $3,500. This is a total scam.

Got a call from 714-453-1956 that they had a complain filed on me.  Said that I would be served papers today and having my husband served at work.  Wouldn't discuss anything for me to try to figure out what she was talking about.  Instead she kept saying you know you owe this money and on and on.  Then she started calling out more of my personal information.  Blaming me to be trash.

Just spoke with Gina Moren as well. Completely rude and unprofessional. When I asked to speak with someone else, she said there was no one else. Impossible, right? I think this is a total scam as she would not give me any info to me about what account this call referenced. DO NOT deal with these people!

I just received a call from a Gina Morgen saying they were serving me papers for a credit card from 7 years ago. She could not give me any info not even for the card company. I told her my attorney would call her she had a melt down and hung up on me...my attorney is going to call but I think this is a hot scam. They some how got my credit report!! Just do your research before you give them any information!!!

Called from 714-453-1911. Left msg regarding my ex, "please have him call Mr. Hernandez at RS Associates. A complaint has been filed against him that demands his immediate attention. Before we proceed with further action, please call us at 888-254-1911."

Mr Lopez calling from the Legal Department of RS & Associates.  A complaint filed against me.  Toll free number 888-244-6042.  Imparative that I return their call.

Received same message: My name is Mr. Martinez and I am calling from the law offices of RJ Salcido, Attorney at Law. I am calling because of a civil complaint filed against you. Does not state what exactly it is, just to call 714-453-1926.

These bottom feeders come out at the end of the month and try to get you to answer the phone. DO NOT ANSWER the phone.

You can always get a credit report done to see if anyone is looking at it.

them. He stated that he  was from the lawoffices of R J Salgado. The phone number is different its 714-453-1914.

Call your local court system. If there is a real lawsuit against you, there should be a court filing. This may be an extortion scam.

his name was Mr Martinez calling from RJ Salgato Law Office

He said that I have a civil complaint against me for$ 2000.
