I've been receiving voicemails for a few days and called it back knowing I have nothing that would be in collections. When I called the "agent" answered with talking to someone in the background and then said "what do you want?". I stated I was calling a number back and his demeanor immediately changed to pretending to be more professional. After a bit he came up with charges on an account from 15 years ago and was paid off. When I told him this he said I had a "nasty mouth", I believe this was an attempt to aggravate me.

I proceeded to tell him I was familiar with debt collection laws and how they were breaking several. He repeatedly would say, "i'm not a collector, this is a lawfirm". As if the laws apply to your job title and not your actions. Eventually he hung up when I asked for company information and his name.

I called him back 4 times, each time asking for the company name and he hung up.

On the 5th call another person answered and I very pleasantly asked for the company name, hoping he wasn't aware that I had been trying to get it for 20 minutes. He said Cornell & Associates and immediately heard the other guy in the background telling him to hang up. He didn't. He tried to provoke and attack me.

Throughout the call they brought up how I was being served, how they would see me in court, repeated my address and county to me for some reason, and then named family members I hadn't spoken to in 20 years. Finally I said, do not call me again and since you have my address send everything in the mail including debt validation. They put me on hold. I stayed on the line for 15 minutes until they came back and told me to "F Off" and they hung up.

I've received a call day from them since that I've been logging.

The exact same scam with the same phone numbers, addresses, behaviors and names involved (Anthony Rubio) are also claiming to be Hartwood & Associates. Additionally, they wanted me to send a check (if not paid via credit cards) to St Petersburg, FL to (ASAPP—no contact name). The calls were from CA and the scammer sent me a “Proof of Debt” with a letterhead that had the Hartwood & Associates name, 323-417-0332 number and 11150 Olympic Boulevard address. The 323 number comes up as a Huntington Park location but the business address claims to be closer to the Santa Monica and Beverly Hills area (30 mins away by car according to maps and depending on time of day). The building manager at the address 11150 Olympic Boulevard, Los Angeles, California (its supposed to be “West Olympic Boulevard”) said there are no tenants with that address who go by that business name (Hartwood & Associates). She also said there have been multiple complaints about this company and that it’s being investigated by the LAPD. Needless to say, I did not send them any form of payment. Unfortunately, the building manager in CA said they’ve already scammed people out of money.
Additionally, the building manager at the location where said scammer wanted check payment (Regus First Central Tower—360 Central Avenue St Petersburg, FL) stated that she “didn’t care if someone was fraudulently taking peoples money because her tenant was paying their rent every month.” This is shameful and complicit on their part.

I received a call from a blocked number, in the voicemail they stated "Attention this message is intended for ______ this call is pertaining to case number ____ my name is Jennifer Crawford calling with process service division this call is a notification that attempts will be made to issue certified legal documents if you debt is not paid" This call was the first red flag what company calls you out of the blue on a blocked number and includes personal details in a voicemail? How do you know you called the right number or reached the right person without verifying them first, my voice mail does not include my name or identifying information, and you just include all of my personal information in a voicemail. I called the number that was left back and they told me they were Cornell & Associates calling to collect a debt. They went on to inform me that I owed AT&T wireless $5,928 dollars but they would settle for $3,000. They said if I did not pay it by Friday (less than a week from the day they called) then they would garnish my wages and take me to court. The man on the phone went on to then provide me my social security number, car vin, co signer name address, email ETC. In an attempt I believe to "prove" their legitimacy. Red flags again, businesses, organizations, government entity's bill collectors ETC do not provide YOU your social. You provide THEM your social to verify your OWN identity. Along with the threatening nature of the call it did not seem right. I asked them to verify the legitimacy by providing me with their licensing number, weather debt collection or debt collection firm they would need to be licensed to conduct business out of California. The man did not answer my question and instead asked me to provide them with more information. I explained that I will NOT be providing them with any personal information until I was able to confirm this is not a scam. The man then got IRATE he raised his voice and stated "Just like you wont give me your information I wont give you mine!". Then he told me to call the original debtor if I needed to verify it. He threated to "see me in court". This debt was supposedly from over 8 years ago in a state I no longer live. I did not recognize this debt. I called AT&T they searched their system for any record that I ever owed them any debt or if they had submitted any debt in my name to a debt collector for payment. After multiple agents, management, internal debt collection department they were unable to find a single thing with my name. "Cornell & Associates" provided me with a account number that according to them was the account number for AT&T. When I provided that number to AT&T they told me that it was not even an AT&T account number it was DIRECTV and there was an account but it was not under my name. They advised that I confirm with DirectTV, so I called and went through the same steps they also confirmed no record of any debt. And advised that generally an overdue account would not get to the point of almost $6000 dollars even with interest or un returned equipment. The service would have been shut off and stopped way prior to it getting to that point. Despite my better judgement I called "Cornell & Associates" back. I submitted a validation of debt reqeust, I also informed them that this "Debt" was unable to be found, its not on my credit report, and I cant find a single legitimate thig about this company anywhere after extensive research. The website also looks fake. And explained that this is NOT how a professional REAL company behaves with threats and refusal of information. This person said "Oh its not on your credit because we havent reported it to your credit" "The original debtor wouldn't have any info anymore because they sold it to us" "we are a law firm not a debt collector". Obviously completely opposite information then they provided in the previous call. There is a statute of limitations for debt collection in my current state its 8 years in the state they are trying to convince me I accrued this debt in it is 4 years. Its been beyond 8 years since this "debt" was accrued. They have called my family members, they read ME my social security number without me providing ANY information to indicate that I am the person this social belongs to, included personal details on a voice mail prior to even confirming who they were calling, they switched up their story. They call from blocked numbers and have multiple different call back numbers. They get aggressive and threaten when asked for any sort of verification. The original debtors have no record of me. I dont recognize the debt. The only thing I could find about this company was other people reporting them as a scam. The search for the address they provided brought up some website that mentioned this address along with "virtual office space for rent, only $200 a month. Add legitimacy for your business with a business address for entrepreneurs" which is suspicious in its self. I looked up the business name on the CA gov database for licensed debt collectors and no version of their company name brought any results. There is a business with this name that manages rental companies nothing to due with debt. There is a lawyers office in Florida with a SIMILAR name that has NOTHING to do with debt collection and only operates and is licensed in Florida. In conclusion, I spent hours of waisted time and research and verification attempts with no results. Everything points to scam and I’ve also reported this scam on BBB.

Good for you that this person who's obviously a bonafied scammer has been reported and you NOT ONLY challenged them, but did extensive research as well. Bravo!

Someone called me from so called "Cornell ASSOCIATES" requesting call back to a number: 844-456-6473 leaving
a message with only 1st name "Fulton." I returned call & after holding several minutes, a guy answered saying "Fulton speaking, how can I help you?" When inquired about his "last name," he immediately became belligerent and said in a very nasty tone: " are you on drugs?!" So yes, this IS NO DOUBT A SCAM. BEWARE!

A gentleman by the name Mr. Davis answered the phone after I called this 866# that was provided to me by a female who called me prior to calling the 866# stating that she was the process server for the law firm Cornell & Associates. I was persuaded that I owed a credit card debt from 2000 and that my balance was $9000+ but I can settle this matter out of court by arranging a payment of $4000+ or I can can served with court papers and from there I can go to court and dispute this legal matter. I’ve been calling around to speak to a lawyer regarding this matter but o know it’s past statue of limitations so how you gonna sue me ? Secondary, a legit law firm wouldn’t call you of being sued , they will send out mail and certified for sure. At first they had me scared but deep down o feel this isn’t legit and it’s some people out here trying to scam people out of $ . I’m reporting them to attorney general office , credit agency verify that no such debt is on my credit report. Report this company if contacted IMMEDIATELY.

I was called after I signed up for grantwatch.com. I am not sure if they sold my information, but I am very careful, and as soon as I signed up I got this call saying I am being served for an old debt of 15 years ago. They had my SSN and obviously access to my credit file. I reported them to the FTC and now I am reporting them to the LA Police Department for fraud accessing my personal information and trying to scam me out of 2200.00. The "process server" called from an unknown number. The person who said she could settle the account said they were collecting for Navy Federal, and I called Navy Federal, and they stated my account was charged off in 2008. How can they continue to get away with these scams?

Mr Davis called a family member regarding an attempt to collect on a debt that was paid off in 2006. I attempted to find a mailing address to send a Cease and Desist letter, but they are evidently not publicly listed.
This is either an unprofessional business or, more likely, a phishing tactic.

Cornell Associates
Los Angeles, California
866-797-1327

Person sounded like he was overseas with a hint of Arabian that can enunciate his words well to sound American accent.

First call, was to get name of organization. I hid my phone's number from being seen on his phone.

Second call, was to get him to spell it out: "Cornell Associates."

Third call, was to get city and state location of organization.

Fourth call, person could not distinguish his own business name from Cornell Associates and Cornell & Associates. I called with Google Voice VoIP with VPN turned on.

According to Google Search, Cornell & Associates is in Seattle Washington. Cornell Associates came up with no results. Cornell Associates Process Server came up with Scammer URL link in results.

Person sounded reprehensive in tone of voice like he was trying to trace my call or escalate the call to another experienced scammer when being called multiple times by myself, phishing for his information.

I have done free searches for said case number and my name as the lady on the phone has indicated in the county I live in and found no results.

Person named Emily called my work and wanted the HR to verify my address for papers to be served. They asked if they could serve them there but the HR Specialist stated my job was in the field, if they faxed the papers she could serve them. She then said she would give me a message so Emily left a number and case number. I called the number and asked for Emily, they first wanted a case number, i gave it to them, they wanted to verify my last 4 digits of my ss number, i said no, they wanted to verify my address i said no, they hung up. I called back and got a different person who transferred me to litigation, the gentleman said i called before and I refused to verify my information so i would just have to wait to be served. I live in Montana, the business is in California.
