Skills -- many thanks.  Information confirmed.  New doors opened

For at least the last year, an illegal group of debt collectors have been terrorizing consumers, their family, friends, and employees threatening to arrest the individual of an unpaid loan or other debt (their generally don't even owe). Be aware debt is a civil matter, not a criminal matter, and you can't be arrested. They threaten a warrant if the victim does not pay a sum of money by the credit card over the phone.

Even if you do owe a debt, do not be deceived by the actions of this group.  Many of the accounts they are attempting to collect they do not own.  In other words, if you pay these people, that is not going to clear your debt with its rightful owner.  

Although when pressed the callers give the victim an address in Columbia South Carolina (usually a vacant lot) or Atlanta GA (often a parking lot near the bus station). They are actually out of the Charlotte North Carolina area. The scammers are using the following business names

Reynolds, Hill, and Associates
Berkley and Associates
Kaufmann and Associates
Sanderson Blaine & Associates
McKenzie Reid Associates
Kennedy, Kline, & Associates
Nationwide Asset and Recovery
Piedmont Investigations and Procurement

Here is a set of links to a variety of threads on this forum that document this group and its behavior. They include the experiences of victims as well as a former employee or two that quit within a week of finding out exactly what was going on. They also include responses from consumer advocates and people who are really criminal justice professionals advising victims of what to do

finally caught you are a liar and i bet you work for the crooks .i got one of those calls i called my attorney and my local police dept and they both told me you can not get arrested for owing money and they both think its a scam, which you are a part of.

These idiots call me, threating me with 3 counts of fraud on a payday loan. Which, I did have at one point, and have settled it completely, and paid in full for about a year now, legitimately. So this company is trying to use a previously settled debt, with their scare tactics of threating me with arrests, court, etc. Even though I have previously settled this debt, they still claim that I will be served papers or arrested or whatever. I have already contacted a lawyer, and I plan to pursue harassment charges against this company. This is pure extortion. I feel sorry for anyone who was scared enough to pay them.

this is a scam!! do not fall for it.

Got a call from them today. Number came up as unknown. They have call my job and home phone. How do I stop them from calling

While I'm sure the call was scary, it is a scam.  You can't be arrested for defaulting on a loan (that is a civil matter not a criminal matter).   They know your name when you call back because of the computer/phone system they are using.

I you could share the information they gave you (address, website) it would greatly help us to help others they have targeted!

They called me and told me that I was gonna get arrested a loan from 2010...can anyone help me out?....I called back and ask for there website and address and they gave it to me ,but it was a New york address this time...is it real or is it a scam? And by the way I don't know why three different people answer my calls the three times I called and how thit they knew it was me without asking my name

They are criminals, plain and simple.  Several users have been investigating them and posting their findings here.  About the best information we have on them is posted by Alfalfa on 17 Dec 2013 (above).  The best thing to do is print off this thread and show it to those who are being called regarding you and explain that you have been targeted by criminals.

As sad is it is, there are thousands of people being called and I'm sure it is little consolation that you are not alone.  Rest assure debt is a civil, not a criminal matter.  I can promise you if you are the subject of a criminal investigation and a warrant has been issued you won't be warned.

8886093074 keeps calling my ex husband of ten years and my mom.they say their name is investigator brown.they know my job and my name.i claimed bankruptcy and owe noone..who is this company.tjey will not give a name or address and when u call it just says management.can anyone help

*brands 'DUMB SHILL' into his forehead with her flaming hammer*

Ignorance is a shill pretending and claiming to be something he isn't. Ignorance is breaking the laws.  Ignorance is a shill posting fake information, fraudulent fairy tales and phoney address's........

Yup, your really batting a -100 so far with this fraud..

Now please, go back to your boiler room, you have won no argument and been proven repeatedly to be a shill and faker. Do let the door hit you on the way and do trip over your broom once you get there, falling on your face is a real habit! Its called major flop..

BULL.  You must not live in the United States of America if that happened to you.  You are just another "pay your bills" shill trying to make a fake/fraudulent company look good & scam others.  In fact you don't even know the difference between Your and you're.

SOOOOO - give us the court and the docket number.  Then someone "may" believe you.

And now I wait for you to call me an idiot and deadbeat too.  Show your true colors!!!

Your a LIAR! This Phone number thread is as old as december 2013 but yet you stated "several years ago" that you were "warranted" for a hot check. How would you possible come here 2 years later and magically know this new phone number registered to the "debt collections company" that tried to put you in jail?! You just gave us evidence your a thief and liar promoting this company.

No, they never learn. It's really gratifying to see the team work here too. The frauds poke their heads up, they get swarmed. The more often that happens, the more we know how much we're hurting them.
Live Well.

Well, the shills still have not learned, have they?  If they don't post their info, someone else will ;)

I attempted to run a whois on the domain for the website, but it is expired.  However, and old version of the website can be viewed (via wayback machine) at

Looks like it was made by someone in middle school.

Nice try shill!  Folks, check out google maps/Earth, it is a parking lot and looks to be for a Greyhound Bus station!

We have two possibilities here, and neither look good for you.  

First, you are just a shill working for these people.  Your use of the words "deadbeat" and "professional debtor" are a tell.   I do hope you know that making false statements like this to support a scam violates FTC rules (i.e., it is illegal).  

Second (and very unlikely) you were actually arrested for a hot check.  Now, in this case, why on earth would anyone take advice from a CRIMINAL LIKE YOU?  However, I'm sure you employer would have loved hearing about your arrest for check fraud.   By they way, if you are a "health insurance rep:, are you bonded?  How is that working out for you with your rap sheet?

You aren't too bright, are you?  Your posting more lies hoping folks will fall for your scam.  Let me dissect some more of your nonsense

>>>>if some one is telling you all of your information that is valid and was used and you know you did it then why not handle your affairs instead of playing lawyer

There are a number of ways (many illegal) that someone can come across anther's personal information.  Many of these cases fall under ID theft.  In fact, on many underground forums, personal details go for as low as $10 a person.  So, that means nothing.   Moreover, you have made the flawed assertion that people (and I think you are referring to me) "know they did it".    So I "know I did it" because you said so? Yeah, right.

>>>>GROW UP PAY YOUR BILLS AND STOP LOOKING TO THE INTERNET TO VERIFY WHAT YOU KNOW
LOL!  Prove anyone in this thread does not pay their bills.  I dare you, I challenge you, and I will apologize if you can

>>>>YOUR THE THIEF AND LIAR
Prove I stole anything, other than your opportunity to lie some more and scam people

Well look what came up for a search of this address:  http://www.callercomplaints.com/SearchResult.aspx?Phone=888-601-5849
More reports of multiple FDCPA violations.  Thanks yet again for confirming that this number is run by scamming criminals.

Ahhhh yes! Another two-bit, minimum wage fraud-in-training trying to skirt the issue. You sound familiar. I think we've skewered you before.
You won't verify any public information because you can't. It doesn't exist. We encourage everyone to pay their debts. Their VALID debts to verified collectors. That always really irks the boys in the fraud shops. Frauds like you!
Run along now. You're done here. All you'll do from this point is make a bigger fool of yourself.
Skeff Ett Liv!
Gunnar

Typical rhetoric from the lying scammers who keep coming to this site, saying that anyone who calls them on their BS is a deadbeat and a career debtor.  We've heard all that cr@p before from the likes of you.  The regulars here do pay our debts.  We pay them to the entities that own the debt.  We try to help others from being scammed by your kind.  But go ahead, keep posting.  With every post you just keep verifying that this phone number is associated with a scam.
