Yes.  Don't give any personal info to these guys.  Look online.  They are scammers.

Have you received or been served any legal documents by process server ?

Saw this while trying to do a little more research on these folks.  THESE folks were doing the SAME thing... The name's different but look at the name of the Principal person ...
When reading through some the things on Decker, Ellis & Assoc... Ellis, Decker & Assoc, the complaints were very similar, except they were calling from toll-free numbers.

hmmm, Not 100% sure, but I looked for "Attorneys in Orlando, FL named Javier Ramirez" (that seemed to be the most generalized spelling of the name).  
Not saying there aren't any, because haven't checked the FL State Board of Attorneys (or whatever they call it).
It IS possible he has a law license in another state...HOWEVER, that does NOT make him recognized by the State of Florida (anymore than a doctor moving from one state to another can just set up an office and start treating patients).

It'd be nice to know the State he's licensed to practice in AND his Bar # to verify.

You can go to bank a canal your card and get a new one don't let anyone take out any money from your acc. unless you buy something

Unfortunately I got scammed as well. I sent information to the Better Business Bureau, and the Department of Justice with the Attorney General stating that they could not help me as the postal service had returned their attempt to help me. They cannot pursue any complaint. Beware... they got my money and info, do not give yours...

they got me but now I am out 1700 hundred dollars

I received a phone call last week asking if I would be home between 9-4pm to receive legal documents. I asked who they were for and I have never heard of the person. We just got this phone number less than a year ago and we get random calls for many different people as well as mail for people that lived here prior and I have never seen any mail come for this woman they are looking for. When I asked what address they wanted to deliver them to, they said they didn't have that information; just the phone number...REALLY? If you are going to deliver legal documents, you should have the address right? Well  just got another phone call, for the same person who doesn't live here and the lady said she would put me on the do not call list...We will see when I get another phone call. They typically hang up when I answer but I have actually spoken to someone twice now and this lady is not at my number!

Received a call from a man claiming to be from Franklin,Moss & Associates. Said he was calling regarding a legal matter with a case # and said he was going to show up at my home with a summons for me appear in court cause I was being sued by a credit card company for nonpayment of my bill. He had all my information correct including: ss#, dob, address, and credit card info. He stated if I was to make 3 payments in 3 months he would waive the last payment and I would not have to make that payment and my bill would be settled in full. 1st payment was in December. 2nd in January, and 3rd payment would of been February. Well I go to check my account this month and they withdrew the payment so I decided to look them up and here we are now. It's Saturday so all I get when I call the # is ringing. What in the world happened? What do I do?

I wish I had found this message board before. I got scammed!

They called scared the living daylights out of me with their "we have a summons for you talk" Agreed to make payments, then they send me some BS document that is not professional at all, spelling errors, not specific, with bogus address on it. Searched them on the internet and found this information. I closed my bank account right away after seeing this site. When they call back I know exactly what I will be asking them to provide me!

These people have called me everyday for a week now. They call me from (440) 134-5678 and every time they ask for me by my maiden name. I have not gone by my maiden name for over 15 years now. I knew they had to be full of crap so I blocked the number on my land line, then to my surprise they called my prepaid cellphone number!  How on earth did they get that?? I am glad I did some research and I feel better that I didn't speak to them.

i got the same call give them my debit card number they took 75 last month then this month they called and had my money sent to another debit card is there any thing i can do about this

I recieved call from LiZ today..second call from 925-134-5678 but said she is with Civil Procedures..Already hung up after reviewing this was a scam from fist call.

What can be done about these people

They may seem legit because they have your name, address and have a debt, loan you may have had at one time. It's not hard for a scam artist to buy info and once you are "in the system"...student loans, credit card debt, mortgage, etc. your info is out in public. I have a 15 year old capital one debt that the statute of limitations ran out on. They probably found that old debt and are trying to collect, not on behalf of Capital One because they have closed the account. Problem is they sound legit until you look deep into it. NO company is going to tell you to pay now or we are sending you a court order the next day. A legit company will send you paperwork in the mail first. If legit they will give you a address to mail a payment to. DO NOT GIVE ANY INFO..just ignore or hang up. No legit company calls you on a "spoofed" number and tells you to call back another number...Bait and Switch is what that is. A "pee" on does the initial call and then the "Closer" makes you pay them. A crook is a crook and these people are Crooks. The worse kind of crooks, preying on people who can't afford it.

IMPORTANT- THIS IS A FAMILY RUN SCAM, I'VE LISTED OFF HOW HIS FAMILY IS ALSO INVOLVED ON THE BOTTOM OFF THIS EMAIL


They may also be using this man's name to seem legitimate if people Google it, Franklin K. Moss (Identity Theft?)
http://www.spivaklipton.com/fmoss/
But he does not own his own lawfirm.
(I've contacted him to inform him)
<fmoss@spivaklipton.com>,
Is his email and he needs all the help he can get.

Thousands of records of this fraudulent company harassing others.

First stating they have a case against them, the case number and an 866 number to call- None of which are legitimate.

I received a call from an African-American (sounding) lady named "Liz" who claimed the actress Betty White was filing a lawsuit against me,  yet stated there was a sealed envelope and it was confidential.

I messed with her a bit asking where she was in Kansas City but she hung up on me.

Fake, Fraudulent Law Firm.

They've been calling from local numbers (of victims) first (I assume using VOIP- Voice Over Internet Protocol), then referring them to an 866 number, they do this country-wide in the US, I gave you an example of what occurred when they call me- I'll reference a local area code number they used to call me.



(Apparently they're too dim to use +1 dialing properly):

+81-6-1345-678  



Let me correct the format for them:

+1-816-134-5678

(134 shouts "INVALID")

Reference numbers they give out:

866-775-5413

855-233-8882

888-434-2409




*Sources cited regarding their harassment of thousands of US citizens (so far we have every reason to believe they operate out of the United States using VOIP)

Filing complaint with DE. BBB

I, too, was contacted by this company and a john Rosen was my case file person.  Stupidly, I gave them my checking account information and agreed to a payment of $1k, a vast reduction from the $4K I owe on a credit card.  Suffice it to say, I later called the bank about this scam and closed my account.  Furthermore, I am filing a grievance against this company with the Delaware State Attorney General's office and the BZbB of DE.

Not true, Only starts if you make a payment or agree to make a payment again.  I know from experience.

Received same calls. First, no one tells you they are serving you papers. Depending on where you live the Court sends you papers via mail or via a county sheriff. Secondly depending on your state, there is a statute of limitations to where a debt/credit company can take you to court. So if it's a 12 or 10 or even 8 year old credit card the statute of limitations has expired. Don't give any info. A legit company will 1) leave a message 2)send it in writing 3) actually have info on the internet about the company/law office 4) Has a legit phone number that doesn't disconnect when you call it. I know it's scary but just ignore, hang up, and def. don't talk, call them, or even give you first name to them. After awhile they will give up and move on.

These people have f****d with me too many times. I called back to talk personnaly with Javiar Rameraz (The lawyer of the group) After th two calls from them I called him back and told him I contacted the Federal trade Commision and he needs to quit calling me.  Much to my surprise, they did not stop calling. Two weekends ago, a guy called and asked me if I would be home the next day so I canbe served a summons. I told him what the lady from th Federal Trade Commission told me to tel him.....I DO NOT OWE YOU ANYTHING, SO F*** OFF. They left me alone for about 3 weeks, then called me Saturday, wanting to know if I would be available thr follwing day to be served a supeona....Let me tell you...I f****ng let her have it...I told her that I reported them to the Federal Trade Commission as well as the Attourney General for the state of Michigan and had also consulted a lawyer who said I can sue them up to 1000.00 for hurrassment.   Funny thing though, today when I called back, their incoming message has changed. # 1 for auto #2 for homeowners #3 banckruptcy # 4 civil suit #5 if we contacted you during the day and yiu need to get back to us...,..
I am going to get these f****ng guys no matter what.................




the las three Saturdays, they have callled asking if I would be available t5o be served a supeona

in the past month they have called my parents in NJ, my brother in MD and today my work.  Same pitch as everyone else.  For anyone living in California the statute of limitations on credit card debt is 4 years.  Just mentioning because several people mention credit cards from almost 10 years ago.

I won't be calling them back because I know it's crap, but be aware that if you have an old debt that is still subject to collection efforts, talking to any collection agency before the statute of limitations runs out can re-start the time clock on that debt.

I have been getting calls on my cell phone from this exact number: 530-134-5678 (530 is our local area code) but they have never left a voicemail, and when I call it back it gives me a disconnected tone. They have called both my parents looking for me, but I haven't lived with them for almost a decade. I called their 1-888-410-3843 number and the woman - who wouldn't give me her name - said they needed my social security number before letting me into any information. I told her I didn't know her, or what this was about, so I wasn't giving her anything.
I asked what Franklin Moss & Associates do, and she said they have 20K offices around the country and focus on bankruptcy, mortgage fraud, and auto loans. Since we don't own a home, have never declared bankruptcy, and purchased our cars through private lenders 5 years ago or more, I can't figure why they picked me to harass. GIVE THEM NO INFORMATION> I asked them to send me documentation, and they said they wouldn't without verifying my social security number.

I too got a call from 603 134 5678 but nobody said anything when i answered this was on jan 3 2012
then i got a call from an unknown caller who said they had papers to serve me they told me i needed to call 888-434-2409 i talk with a woman named elaine matthews she said i needed to pay a debt i owed from capital one i told her i live on social security and do not have the money she said i have one hour too come up with this money i thought it was legit because i did have a capital one credit card years ago she knew alot of info about me she said the debt was 4000 but i could settle for 2000 so i gave her my debit number stupid thing to do but they say all the right things to you after i got off the phone i thought where am i goin to get this money then i thought i would check them out and i see all of this stuff went straight to bank and canceled my debit...they are not getting my money beware

everyone that has received theses calls from franklin moss and associates need to go to your police dept and report them and eventually they will have to check into this. call the police now it is a scam

This call from Franklin, moss and associates is a scam. I gave all my info to police and they are working on it. I got call from number and his name was kevin kallister same routine they gave others and i went along as i was told by the police and i deposited 100.00 to a new walmart debit card, which they had no idea i was setting them up and thye didnt take money on date we agreed. If you get this call from any of those numbers call the police and report it right away, its a scam

This company called my parents and told them I was going to be served papers in 24 hours if I did not respond.  When I called they asked for the last four of my social to verify my identity.  They then told me I owed money for an old credit card and if I did not pay the amount I would be served papers from their law firm.  The woman I talked to ("Holly Harper") told me a huge dollar amount that I owed, and offered half of that if I payed immediately.  I told her I could not pay that amount that day and she offered to set up a payment plan.  I stupidly agreed to this and handed over my information including my debit card number and address.  I recently ran a credit report and have been actively trying to pay off old debts, so I thought I was doing the right thing by taking care of the situation immediately.  I finally googled Franklin Moss and Assoc. after having a terrible feeling I was scammed.  Of course that was the case.  I have not been charged on my debit card yet and have cancelled all accounts.  I also have contacted the credit protection agengy (protectmyid.com) and informed them of the scam.  This company is disgusting and I hope they get in trouble for this.  Hopefully others are not as gullible as I was and check them out before handing over their information.  Would like to report them to authorities but not sure of the process.

I recived a call from frankiln moss and assosicates .  They ask I call 1-866-775-5413 with the case number.
They said it was about legal documents.  I did not return the call because i figured it was a hoax. Nice to know I was not the only one.  I was trying to figure out this out because they called my brother and said i left his number as a secondary number .  First of all I know this was not true.  You are aboslutey right this is a scam to get money

I am pretty sure that this is a scam. Please be aware. The initial call that i got came in under the number 828-134-5678. I went through the whole phone call and pretty much fell for it at the beginning. Was told that i had an outstanding visa bill from 2002 and they wanted to serve a summons on me for civil court the next day. I was asked if i would be home to accept the summons between 9 and 12 the next day or would i be working. When i gave my answer that i would not be home, i was informed that i had to make a decision right then.I fell into this little scam and went along with it at the time. I made some calls to try and come up with the pay off. I was given the 888-434-2409 to call back and was told to speak to Ashley Johnson. When i called back she got on the phone after 2 calls and was taking my info when were "cut off." She called me back on a US Cellular number that was 919-856-3560. Sounds strange doesn't it. Spoke to my local police dept and they pretty much agreed with me that it sounded like a scam. I immediately called my bank and put a hold until i could go to the bank the next day. Hopeful this will not work for the scammers and i will not hear anything else from them. I just called all of the phone numbers and they are all not working numbers. Do not fall for this!!!!

Just got off the phone with the sheriff's office. There is no summons coming my way, and I did report the details. I don't think this is an ID theft scam, but DO NOT give these crooks any info! I really think that it's one of those strong arm companies that buy old debt, and scare people into paying on it. Know the statutes of limitations of your state when it comes to debt. If you make contact with these A-holes don't be afraid to tell them to jam it. Ideally, if it doesn't come up on caller-ID, let it go to voice mail. I'm sure they scam 80 year old widows out of millions a year. Don't be a victim.
