Fake debt collectors don't do criminal investigations.

This company keep calling me looking for my cousin and told me if ididnt give them her number,that they where going to charge me with interfering with a criminal investigation.

I have received several phone messages for a person with the same last name. When I called back to 888.627.9139 to tell them no one here by that name, all I got was an answering machine for the SS Group (seems like an appropriate name based on what I am reading here).

I got a call from this number today. Some guy named "bill turner" left a message stating that he was going to be serving me for "pending Charges" and if I wasn't home, then he would be going to my work to serve me there. I've already been on one site that said this phone number is a scam number and they get people to set up payments for something and it turns out to be fake...

This number calls and never leaves a message.

I've been receiving the same harassing phone calls.  Have they ever followed through on any lawsuits?  I'm literally petrified.  Please, if anyone knows anything, I would love some advice.

On 07/06/2010 I was informed by my sister who lives in another county that a lady named Phyllis Jones left a voice message on her answering machine stating my name and that I have fraudulent check charges against me and for someone to notify me and to call (888) 832-9785 in reference to case #723603.

On 07/06/2010 at approximately 10am Phyllis Jones left a voicemail on my cell phone with a blocked number stating she had a court summons to come out to my place of employment and residence for charges of fraudulent check charges and if I have any questions or concerns to call (888) 832-9785 and ended by stating "you have officially been notified and you have been served.".

On 07/06/2010 I called the number Phyllis left and spoke with the first person to answer the phone, "Tanna/Tanya or Hanna"--couldn't understand her.  I told her of these messages and asked her the name of her company and she asked me "why do I wanna know" to the following questions: 1) What is the name of your company? 2) Are you a legal firm? 3)What is your name?  She finally told me the name of the company is "BAM" and they are a legal firm.  I asked if they were a collection agency or legal firm.  She said a legal firm with attorneys present.  I asked if they had a website.  She said no, that it's under construction.  I asked her name and she said she's not going to tell me and that she'd put me through to their supervisor. I informed her I didn't know of the debt she's speaking of and to tell me the name of the company that sent me to their collections.  She named a few companies that could possibly be the one as they changed names. I told her no one has ever sent me anything in writing from this debt from 2 years ago that she's mentioning and that no one has ever called me, either, and to send me the information in writing about this debt.  I told her to mail me the info and that I will look at it and try to resolve the matter and not to call my relatives' house and that it's illegal for debt collectors to call from blocked numbers and to leave messages like the one she left on my sisters' house phone and she said it was not illegal and said at the end that she will see me in court, then hung up on me while I was trying to talk to her.

I called the number back and spoke with the same lady and said I wanted to speak to Phyllis Jones.  She laughed and said there is no Phyllis Jones at their company and she asked me for my case #.  I told her and she said she just spoke to me and said I was the one who just called her and said I wanted to go to court with them.  I told her I never said that and asked for her name because I couldn't understand it and she again refused to tell me and put me through to her supervisor, Miss Leverett at extension #362. I told Miss Leverett I was trying to resolve a possible debt and wanted it sent in writing to the address I provided and she said she would send it. She accused me of being rude to the other lady because I was asking so many questions and maybe that's why the other lady hung up on me, telling me she'll see me in court. I told her I wasn't being rude but I wanted to know what this was about and was trying to resolve things and this is the first time I've been contacted about this matter and they're talking about suing me and charges of fraudulent checks. I told her it's illegal to leave messages on other peoples' home phone message machines and call from blocked numbers if it's a debt collection.  Miss Leverett started yelling at me telling me I'm a scum and obviously stupid for writing fraudulent checks and for not knowing it is legal to call from blocked numbers and leave messages at relatives' houses on their answering machines.  I told her I wouldn't ever intentionally bounce a check and I need to see the info about the debt in writing so I can figure out if it's a legitimate debt, especially because the debt is from 2 years ago, according to the lady that initially answered the phone. No one would tell me the amount to resolve the matter, either, when I asked on 2 occasions.  She then told me, "You're pissing me off!" and threatened to have me arrested and go to my place of employment (in a hospital; I'm a nurse) and said she has papers to serve me in court for fraudulent checks and she'll see me in court.

The address Miss Leverett gave me for their company at the beginning of the conversations is:

BAM Group
7515 W.Encanto Blvd.
Phoenix, AZ 85001

So my sister gets a call from these people and wont give her any information on her case. They did however give her a case number and threatened her, when she does return their calls it goes to a voice recording each time. I don't believe anyone here has anything to worry about, they seem to be impostors. If you are worried about it being about bank payments, DON'T. Banks would send professional lawyers to contact you, not some weird unknown company. Furthermore, if you are still worried then contact a lawyer immediately, because it is ILLEGAL for a business to give out your personal bank information and S.S number without your consent. You could also sue this "Bam Group" for fraud, threatened phone calls, and harassment. You most likely could win the court case, and then receive money from the settlement. Also, DO NOT send these people money or anything. That is just stupidity.

I have been getting calls from the "BAM" group too. Same scenerio as the above posts. Caller won't send me any documentation. Won't tell me where they are located. They just keep threatening to come to my job or home with a warrant for my arrest. The debt that they say I owe has already been paid. When I told them this they told me that I had been scammed by the agency I had paid & that I STILL owe THEM the debt. I'm very tired of their threatening phone calls. Don't know how they got my work number. What can I do to make these calls stop?

these people had called my brother and told them that i wrote bad checks and they was giving me court papers and they also called my job threated me on sending me to jail for writting a check across state line but i dided do that i had one payday lone and i paid that back them a month latter a collecting agency called my work and told me i had a debt from the ss group and now they calling me from bam group i dont kno these compainies and where they at i just want them to leave me alone so my family i got stop stressing about this someone please tell me with to do about this

This company has called my daughter and left a voice mail saying he has court papers for me to go to court he left his name Mr Smith , told me he was going to fine where i am and come see me he also said he was going to where i was working and give me the papers and see me go to Jail for bad checks and he was going to  tell the Judge i was trying to  defrauding a place of busness .
the number he left was 1-877-441-9875 and
i did call there to day
I got 2 names on this company one was  BAM group and one was UCS group.
spoke to a Miss Davies and also Mr. Danniel , both would not tell me where there company is from ,
Just that This company is to get people to  pay there pay day loans ..

yes you can do some thing call this Lawer Office and let that do the work for you to get them to stop
1-323-988-2400  some thing has to done with them

this company is a debts cllection agency for a pay day loan ... those people called my daughter and left a voice about my wife, not asking  for my wife but left  my wife name and said he would  be bringing her papers to go to court over bad checks and he would come to where she was working. he did leave his name as Mr. Smith and a phone number to call this company 1-877-441-9875
we did save the voice mail he sent .
we went to call them spoke to more than 3 people . one was Miss Davies and we just called a lawer and she ask us to call them back and ask for a State of where there from and a address, We spoke to Mr. Danniel, he ask me to give him half the money which is being said is due this pay day loan was from 2008, there company got the paper from them and now saying if my wife does not pay this there going to put her  in Jail . this is all wrong of what this company is getting away with ..this  Company has 2 phone numbers and has 2 companys names also one is BAM and also UCS

this place called my daughter and left a message saying the same thing about me, told her i had bad checks out there and this man was going to come to where i work and see me in jail, she gave me the number . when you try and look up where this call is from i could not find any thing .. I dont have a check account and  we have not had one in about 19 years so my daughter knew better but some thing should be done about this company

How can we go about a class action lawsuit? That would be ideal....

I know you posted awhile ago, but the same similar thing happened to me, just recently, and when i realized the kind of people i was dealing with I immediately reported them to the Federal Trade Commission.  You can do that online....and I called my bank and had my debit card cancelled, and they are issuing me a new one, so they can run it as many times as they want and they will never ever get a dime.

We received the call from the BAM group and they left a message on the answering machine with the same have a summons and you are being served with this summons and this was your official notification and we will be going to your work place or home to serve you.  I called the number the phone call was from and it was a prerecorded message in spanish.  I called the number they left on the answering machine and no one was there but left a message with a case number.  Funny thing is, I have never had a pay day loan, my wife has never had a pay day loan and we don't have any bounced checks.  Any advice on getting this stopped.

This Company Calls Constantly threatening me, They won't provide any information about the claim! There nbr. they are calling me from is 1-888-390-4130

I got a call from The BAM Group as well. The odd spin is that they left a message on my machine saying my name and that I was listed on a legal document for the person being charged with check fraud. They gave that persons' name and it was the name of my Husbands' exwife.
While I knew of her financial past and that it was perhaps a legitimate call, I have to agree that this is a very dirty way of collecting money owed.
They asked me to call the Plaintiff directly, leaving a different number and gives a case file #.
I've not had any sort of cash/title loan (still paying for my cars) but it made me very nervous because I've sent her checks in the past for child support, proms, Birthdays, etc for my step daughters.
So either it is a legitimate call, or these folks have some how tied our names together. I can't think of a legal way for them to have done that...or illegal way for that matter.
When I call the number they left, I always get voicemail. (888) 832-3963.
I'm just curious how they got my information if not from her bank. Scary thought....

I received a call from 877-441-9874 (which is the BAM Co.) I've received 4 calls from this company.  Each call threaten that I would go to jail. They would serve papers at my home. However they are giving me the opportunity to settle this debt. I did not know how to handle these calls. Thanks to researching.  I suggest a CLASS Action suit against this company.  For threats and harrassing phone calls.

Returned call and they said it was The BAM Litigation Firm.  Same thing as before, they wouldn't send me any back up documents and I told them I wasn't paying anything until they provided more information.  I verified my home address and work address and he said he would be serving me tomorrow at my place of employment.  I told him okay......

Hello everyone. I got a call this morning from these people from the "Bam Group." What they are, is a collection agency that buys past due debts from other companies and then attempts to collect the debt from the person. Mine was for a payday loan, which I paid back all of $100. I refused to pay the rest because the place I got the loan from sold my bank information and someone took money out of my account. The actual payday place used to call me and threaten me with court proceedings. I repeatedly told them I was waiting because I couldn't wait to go after them for selling my bank info and for charging an illegal interest rate on their loans...yes...they charge over what they are permiited and most people don't know that. I never heard from them again and I called this number back today and the lady told me the legal proceedings were for the payday loan. So I told her the same thing...Then, she went on to say that they weren't the payday company. I told I knew how collection companies made their money and proceeded to tell her to bring on the paperwork because my lawyer and I couldn't wait to go to court! She got all freaked out and said "have a good day" and hung up!!

I've recieve a call from this number telling me that I need to pay alot of money up front. They threatened me with court and I also have a case #. I have to figure out how to stop payments from going out to these people.
Their giving other people a bad way to do business. I'm really ver upset over this. I try to call back and I'm getting it's a van group which I have never heard of.

got a message today from a jackie stating that they tried to serve me with a summons for court for check fraud and since they couldnt reach me there that they were going to come to my place of unemployment. they even left a court case number.
