Strange that I got the exact email with the same case number. Imagine that!!

This number calls me repeatedly saying "Final notice", "You will be served", etc. I have never dealt with them and they have asked for people that I have no knowledge of.  I have tried telling them they have the wrong number, but they just keep calling.

O wow! I got the same email with exact same portfolio ID as well! Actually they have been sending me emails for the past couple of months that I have just been sending to my spam box.  They are obviously scammers. I'm also receiving scam calls after making the mistake of taking out a payday loan in 2006 and my info was apparently stolen.

I got the exact same email also lol.  I have been getting calls from all sorts of scammers like this for a couple years now.  It all started when i paid a couple of these places because they scared me saying I was going to go to jail if I didnt.  Well I finally figured out all they were all scams and stopped paying these people for things I owe.  But I guess since I paid a couple of them money they all think they can get money out of me.  Now when they call, if I am in the mood to answer, I tell them point blank you are scam artists and stop calling me.  But I still get phone calls from different numbers and different so called companys.  I don't know if they will ever stop.

Funny, I received the SAME EXACT email.  Interesting that we BOTH have the SAME EXACT portfolio number.  ie:PDL-03714482 .  this is a HUGE HUGE HUGE illegal rat b*****d scam company, Report them to the US Attorney General's office.

What's is up with these people now they are trying to contact my son who is in the Marine Corps.  Are they serouis....Very RUDE Michael Blackwood....Will not give any information and when I try to ask what this is about he gets even more rude so I being who I am cursed him and hung up on his a$$... How do we stop this crap???? very frustrating indeed... He is threating to take my car which he really doesn't have the correct information on that either....I am getting Pi$$ed off with this dude...calling me over and over again....

I keep getting threating phone calls from these people (877-774-1878) they will not stop calling...SOmeone by the name of Mr. Blackwood.  How to get them to stop.  They have alot of information on me that I have no clue how they got it.  

Just received an e-mail from this "so-called" company to contact them regarding a debt that I owe; I don't live in NY, nor have I done business with anyone in NY-FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This is illegal, and I will report them to the FTC and the Attorney General Office in my state.

REPORT THEM 716 853 8400

I worked for them they are a scam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are collecting on debts that have already been paid on do not give them any info report them

please report this "debt collection company" to the New York State Attorney General's office by calling 716-853-8404.  Located in Tonawanda, NY.   All threats  they are making are false.

I just received the exact same message so, after looking up 'clicktell alerts'on the internet, I followed your advice and immediatly received message back confirming that I had discontinued clicktell alerts and would no longer recieve messages.
Thanks for you post.

These people are also using this number 804-381-0971, and than leaving an 800 number to call.  I posted some info earlier (11/21).  Please be careful.  When I did call them back they were looking for someone who had given them this number and I informed them I did not know this person, and the supposed "investigator Brown" said she would remove my number for this list.  As you can see this is not working, nor did she remove my number.  Please be careful about them.  Don't trust them.

877-774-1878 called my cell saying it was CHRIS JACKSON CALLED SAID THAT MY SSN HAS BEEN USED IN A FRAUD INVOLVING SECTION 190.55 AND TITLE 18 AND I MUST GIVE THEM MY ADDRESS SO THEY CAN SERVE ME AT MY HOME OR WORK OR I CAN CALL THEM

HOW CAN WE STOP THEM FROM CALLING???????????????????????????????????

yes this # has started texting mee too. they started with calls now this....sheesh who texts from an 877 #?

I got the same text message... Ridiculious!  Who are these people???

Here's a new one....  Received a text from 640-85 with the message to call 1-877-774-1878 regarding a time sensitive matter linked to my name and location information. Knowing this is yet another scam, I replied STOP to the text.  I then received a message confirming I have discontinued Clicktell Alerts and will no longer receive messages.  When I checked out Clicktell Alerts on the internet, it shows they are a company that other companies use to put out texts and emails by the masses.  Scam artists at their bests! Good luck everyone!

I also was contacted by this ssa group. They called my work and home. How do we stop the calls. The attorney general office advised us to just keep hanging up on them.

They have also left me the same text messages and are texting my husband and my father...saying that it is a time sensitive matter.  These people claim to be SSA group and my attorney has advised me they are a scam and do not speak to them.  How do we get them to stop sending text messages?

They have now taken to sending text messages that say contact them in regards to a time sensitive matter linked to my name and location. They have left voice mails stating they will be serving court papers on Thursday which was right before Thanksgiving. They are basically being harassers and terrorists for lack of a better term.

Received call from 213.550.4630 answered and it was a recording saying to call 877-774-1878 for claim filing. This will be the last  call "877" number that has called me in today and they threatened me .and wanted my info and i just told her if you want to file a claim go ahead and you don't  need my info then  and why are you asking me for my name  and address ??? iWhat the heck?? its just one of those pple who wants a free money i guess scams

just got the same call for this people same story who is this person ??

I received a call from a Darren Williams telling me to call that number regarding a fraud against my social security number, that he was a state locater and I need to call that number to get answers. Very strange,

PEOPLE CALL AND TELL ME THAT A FRAUD HAS BEEN COMMITED USING MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND THAT I HAVE TO CALL THEM AND GIVE THEM MY ADDRESS SO THEY CAN SERVE ME LEGAL PAPERS AND IF I DON'T CALL I CAN BE HELD IN CONTEMPT OF COURT THEY ARE A COMPANY CALLED SSA FIRM ,BUT OTHER PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE HFG OR GLOBAL PRE LITIGATION

this same company called me back and i called them back after hours the automated system told me it was ssa firm does any one know about them.I THINK IF ANYONE WOULD KNOW MY ADDRESS IT WOULD BE THEM???????

Received call from 314-627-1122. answered and it was a recording saying to call 877-774-1878 for claim filing. This will be the 3rd "877" number that has called me in the past 2 weeks and they threatened my sister and said they would serve HER papers looking for me. What the heck??

They have threatened our church answering machine. Someone from the attorney general's office has advised me that this is a scam. Do not even reply.
