Read exact quotation these FAKE BILL COLLECTORS hand us (with all their FAKE LEGAL mumbo jumbo statutory codes, etc.) right there in black & white print to warn the public of this very scam on the Federal Trade Commission website. Report incident to them. Call Experian, , TRW, Equifax to put fraud alert on yourself.  Also, report to local police, Dept of Justice, IC3.gov, Consumer Protection Agency, BBB, and get a private investigator so we can catch these criminals! Its a PO Box NOT AN OFFICE SUITE! We need to subpoena the  identity info on mailbox owner & prosecute them! They ARE NOT authorized to collect on these debts. They are elaborate schemers. They pay a small fee to simply set themselves up as a financial institution LLC which allows them to be able to check your credit reports to see what you owe to whom. Who knows how they got your Social Security number?

The Regency Assoc. "process server" called me again!  Demanded I call their legal department.  This is the second time they called.  I got mad and told them to call the bank and straighten it out!  Then I hung up.  She called me back up a third time madder than hell and demanded I call legal.  I got mad and said not to call me again and hung up.  

Who do I report it to?  Is there anyone at the cell phone company I can call? I still don't know how they got private information?  I think they got my sons private information from the cell phone carrier somehow.

Thanks.

You (and your sons) need to report these calls accordingly! Whenever you get a new number, it can be someone else's old number! It will bring with it all its old problems. Be aware of the scammers, frauds and extortion scammers, know your rights!

Google your name as well as your phone numbers. Anything like spokeo that shows up, make them remove the public information. If you have facebook accounts, make sure your private info is private and not available to the general public.

This is more about Regency Associates (FM Funding).  They had my two adult sons new phone numbers and addresses and they called them.  How did they get this information?  My one son's phone number is only one month old as his old phone was destroyed in a car accident.  Can they get this information from their cell phone company?  How are they getting old Wells Fargo private information since Wells Fargo doesn't use them?  This should be looked into and they should be prosecuted.

My son just a call from Process Server Verification Dept. regarding Regency Associates (FM Funding).  Regency was suing me for an overdraft from Wells Fargo 4 years ago.  I told him that I paid the overdraft to Wells at that time.  I told him I was on Social Security Disability.  He threatened me and said "We can get around the laws, believe you me! We can get you, believe you me!" I hung up on him.  So far, there has been no process server.  After reading the comments about these shady people, why is the only bank mentioned Wells Fargo?  They had personal info about me, including social number.  Has anyone checked up with Wells Fargo about these people?  The only difference I  can see about Regency and FM Funding is their phone number.  The number they had was 855-672-1264.  Maybe they changed numbers from the 2620 number.

They JUST CALLED ME OVER. Debt my ex husband had with Wells Fargo that was charged off stung I was responsible because we were married at the time he opened the account and I asked for copies of sects dates and he told me they didn't need to provide that to me they go by date opened! Threated me with court if I didn't want to pay my "half" as being in CA I asked further questions and Ron Jones cut me off saying he didnt need to talk to me I can ask the questions in court! WTH!????

In California there's a 4 year statute of limitation!!!these same people tried making me pay although its been over 4 years since I overdrafted!!!they're full of crab! Be careful people!

See my post above and report them. As should your mom and brother as well. Also, your mom needs to cancel her card, file fraud complaint, and get her account numbers changed.  
The important thing to remember if these losers have any of your personal information such as your social security number, date of birth or drivers license make sure you register with identity protection notify the credit agencies as well as your banks!!

Got a call from a Ron Jones today also, he already reached out to my mom and brother.  Had a case number of 2013-27340.  He didn't pick up his phone with professionalism when I called him.  He just picked up the phone saying "law office".... I thought this was all real until my mom gave him her credit card because he wNted some money as a down payment, after which he faxed some paper work over to her and wanted her drivers license and a whole lot more.  After reading all of this, it sounds too similar.  I believe it to be a scam also. Said he's had someone try to serve me twice already, and as soon as a failed attempt for a gird try happens, the court will have a hearing without me.  I will be used and have a ten year judgement on my credit report..... Hope this information helps everyone.

It's quite all right-can't believe the jerk still kept it up after being told off by Wells Fargo... *shakes head*

Yes it was a male and when I typed she it was a typo. I had a screaming toddler right next to me so I'm surprised that was the only typo I made. Lol

Wow...he got told off by Wells Fargo and STILL kept it up?! Only question I have for you is the person you originally called a male or a female, because if it was a male, you called him a she.

I got the same exact call... it was for my mom and the name given was David Porter, we were almost scammed as well but we called our bank first and saw it was a scam as well. The bank says this happens almost around christmas so be aware!

I just called him back today and said I will not being paying this debt to you because you are a fraud. He spoke a lot of nonsense and then said he will conference call Wells Fargo so I said go ahead. He did and the lady picked up as we were arguing and listened for a bit. She then intervened and said that Wells Fargo does not deal with the company she is referring too and hung up. I told him if he is in fact who he says he is then go ahead and serve me. Again he spoke nonsense and hung up. Thankful to everyone on this thread that provide information!

These criminals should be investigated by the CFPB, Consumer Protection Finance Bureau.  I am turning them in this Monday for federal investigation.

I got a call from these guys two days ago as I was putting my daughter down for a nap. Unfortunately I am not well versed on debt collectors and I was so convinced they were actual debt collectors. They had a woman call me and tell me she need to serve me and then gave me a number to call and get information on what they were "taking me to court" for. The mans name was David Porter. He was trying to get $1200. I called my bank today and told them what was going on after my mom and I did some digging and I had to change all my info. I have learned my lesson and will not fall into another trap like this again!!

This guy Ron Jones and Erik Stone are a piece of work.  They tried to get me for a debt I had already paid from Wells Fargo.  Aggravating!  They called my elderly parents and put a scare in them.  I suggested they go ahead and serve me so I can meet these guys.
Nothing!

I recognize voice to be the same as previous fake bill collector who defrauded me for $842. last year. Only then he was going by the name Don Carter not Mike Anderson.

Calling and threatening legal action at my work.  I am sure if this is real, however after reading the post above, I doubt it.

Received a call from Barry Allen today, said he was from Regency Associates Law Firm? Gave me the same song and dance threat.  His number is 855-303-2620  I just wanted his email so I could attempt to trace his IP address. Names included:  American Asset Group, RM Funding, Regency Associates, Regent Associates. Addresses include 1030 N. Mountain Ave, Ontario CA and 1042 N Mountain Ave, Upland CA. Both are UPS stores. When he told me he would see me in court I responded with, "I sure do hope I see "you" in court".  He almost had me though, I am responsible and always pay my bills on time therefore this had me scared and I didn't have any knowledge of how debt collection worked. I do now. He is a total bottom feeder and very rude.
