I received a phone call from some woman claiming she was going to serve a lawsuit and that they would be at my doorstep immediately if I didn't agree to call 951-200-8231 to speak to Mr. Turner who was in charge of my case. I called the phone number and Mr. Turner told me the company he was calling on behalf of was Western Capital Group that they were a debt collection agency and that I needed to start making deposits into an account at Wells Fargo Bank. To make a long story short I did make "payments" to payoff my past due account, since I had lost my job and did have an outstanding balance on account and because he freaked me out with everything he threatend me with I didn't bother to investigate further. I started to notice when I would call in to give him my transaction # from the deposit receipt he would just get me off the phone quickly on a couple of occassions he seemed out of it, if you know what I mean. When I called to give another transaction # the phone had been disconnected and I haven't heard from him since, needless to say I gave him a good lump of cash.  I wish I would have seen this website before.

I just got home from seeing my husband in CVICU after he had a double bypass surgery. And I go to the phone because I see a message on my answering machine and hear this message that worried me to death. I was shaking wondering what the heck this was all about. I didn't need this right after coming home from the hospital. I went to the computer and typed in the number and read these messages from other people that recvd. this same call. That is very criminal to leave messages like that.

Please stop calling to my home phone number

I started receiving the same exact messages from Mr. Turner and his supposedly law firm. He left a message on my daughters phone, stating how they had been searching for me, and said that the sheriff was trying to serve me. But, they didn't have an address for me, and that they had one of my old credit card debits which they was seeking to recover the debt . Mr. Turner was very pusher about forcing my address out of me, and telling me that I had been summons by the court to appear for the debt. He shifted from sending an officer out, to trying to work out payment plans and down payment. The information that he sent had a total different address on it, and a different state. I had actually made two payments without investigating rather this was actually a law firm. I was not settle in making this decision; because none of this made sense to me. So, I began calling the so called law firm again today, only to get an answering service, and the female couldn't tell me what W C Group stood for. She put me on hold for a long time, and the next voice I heard from was Mr. Turner. I asked him what did W C. Group stand for, and he gave me a total different name from the first. He said that WC Group stood for West Coast Group, but several representatives called it by different names. Some of them called it Central Capital Group;which was a collection agency. Another, said that it was Central Capital and Associates. It wasn't until I began to do reseach and ran across this site was  confinced that it's a fraud. I was able to recover one of my payments back, but are waiting for them to release my second one. Also, what made me more curious was the last payment I made, the cashier made a comment and said that they had beaware of fraud comment. Fraud-Fraud-Fraud--------------------------

I received a VERY similar call from a Mr. Turner at 951-200-8231, that the sheriff in Mississippi were trying to deliver a summons and I wasn't home (I have lived in Texas for over 2 years), and that if I didn't call him back it would be delivered to my place of employment, etc etc etc.  (This is funny because the Constable delivers summons in Mississippi, not the Sheriffs office).

I called back and spoke with Mr. Turner, I asked for his company name which was WC Group Law Firm, located at 18285 Collier Avenue, Lake Elsinore, CA 92530 which resolves to a "Mail Stop Etc." (A UPS Store essentially with PO Boxes). He told me they would forward the information to a sheriff in "The county I live in." Within 10 minutes of me hanging up I got a call from a number in Mississippi, in which I called back and it was answered "Lowndes County Jail", I asked the lady on the phone and she said no one here would have called you from that number unless they were IN JAIL. This means they are spoofing phone numbers and impersonating law enforcement officers as well.

In addition,I asked him for the case number/docket number with the court in which they filed, and he gave me a bogus number. I found this out by contacting the court that handles these matters in that county in Mississippi. They could not find the docket number (or anything close to it), nor anything relating to my name.

This individual and firm has broken about 10 Federal laws, 2 Mississippi laws and countless Texas laws. I have contacted the Murrieta PD in California as well as the Tarrant County Sheriff here in Texas. A police report will be filed (an AoD - Assist of Department request) and should be forwarded on to Murrieta PD and Riverside County for investigation.

Lets bring these low lifes to justice.

And it happened yesterday.

Same thing happened to me. I got a call from a number which I found out through the web was San Diego Sheriff's department. The person on the phone said what time I would be home or if there would be anyone there to receive the "Legal Documents". He had a strong southern accent and had a thick voice...
I said "No, nobody will be there" and told him I would be home at 7. He said "Ok we will dispatch an officer then". Then I said only "OK no problem". After that there was a 2-3 second pause and he said with a defeated tone "Well, seee yaa then" and I said "see ya". 15 minutes after the conversation the infamous Turner called and told me exactly what he told you and left me a message...

I went home and called the sheriff after reading this:

I called the number on my caller id asking them if there is a way to find out if I have been actually called regarding any kind of summons or documents. And a very professional young lady answered my question short and simple: We don't contact you. The court does. We serve if asked to do so.

I received phone calls from him too and he called the company WCG Law Firm. He also told me that I was about to be "served" regarding an old Cititbank credit card that I'm pretty sure I took care of years ago and is no longer even on my credit report. I've never received anything in writing from WCG informing me of a debt I have with them.  It doesn't make sense.

I received the same phone call today and Mr. Turner told me the WC stood for West Coast Group. He said that my account with Continental Finance was charged off and they had the account now. I just think it's wrong.

Wow.  Got a call & voicemail from Mr. Turner at 12:18 CDT stating the local authorities had called him informing him that the summons they were trying to deliver was undeliverable due to our not being home.  He then asked me to call him back at 1-866-333-4149 ext 211, to let him know when we would be home or the summons would be delivered to our place of employment.  

I called back, without identifying myself, he verified that WC Group & Associates was indeed a law firm and stated I was committing fraud.  I then cut him off, told him I was aware of my rights per the FDCPA and that I had spoken to the OK County Sherriffs service dept. and the county recorder's office and there was no lawsuit against me, and the sherriff's office service supervisor had indeed check and cross checked and there were no summons for me and no sherriff's had been to my home today, AT ALL.  He then suggested I call the Riverside County Sherriff's Dept in California and the Murrieta, CA Police Dept to file charges for collection fraud and possible attempted debit card fraud.

Western Capital Group shows many locations in So. Cal. but are doing business in Murrieta CA and the owner is supposedly Thai Lan.  In the Ficticious Business Name search in Riverside County I could not find a listing.  

I have an investigator researching this with the Murrieta PD.  

It is against Federal & CA law, and OK Law for a collection agency to represent themself as a lawyer, law firm or having anything to do with any legal business, much less claim the service of a  summons is pending (indicating a law suit is already filed against you).

Amazing.  I intend to file complaints to all pertinent authorities.
