- Tarpon Springs, FL, USA

My family member recived a phone call through them stating that I have a warrant and they needed my addrres to serve papaers. Then I called back with a case number. It was a debt that was solved in 2006. Wanted 5k imediately and stated that Pinellas county sheriff will show up with arrest warrent. All public records were checked by proper athouritys. Debt was paid in full. BTW this is the second time this company tried this BS. They did it back during covid.

Claimed to be collecting on a debt from Advance America

- Aurora, CO, USA

This was turned over to collections. It's a twelve-year-old debt. This company contacted me to collect the debt. It's a scam.

- Norman, OK, USA

Initially called by "Andrea" who left a message stating she was with FSC and was trying to get a hold of a family member. She left a call back number (833) 288-5066. I called back and spoke to a male who would not answer my inquiries concerning FSC as a business, he hung up on me. Called back and spoke with a "Shay" who when I asked for info, said they must have the wrong number and hung up. called and spoke to "Jake" who was belligerent and when asked what the acronym FSC stood for, he stated, "it doesn't stand for anything, they're just letters". I said I would contact the ScamPulse.com and he laughed and said God bless and hung up. called back and spoke with a "Darlene ****** who provided FSC stood for Financial Service Corp out of Florida but would not answer how they got my number or what kind of business they worked for, and she proceeded to hang up on me; not one employee provided an explanation as to what FSC is or how they got my number. I attempted to call back to ask for a supervisor or their legal dept.; the number given to call back [(833) 288-5066] rang with no answer for 5 minutes; twice, and I was unable to leave a message. I have searched for FSC and "Financial Service Corp on the internet to no avail; a reverse phone number look up for both numbers also showed no results. I am very concerned they are either a scam or overly aggressive collector.

I did not respond to the text message because I don't have any past due accounts and thought the text message highly suspicious.

- Gunnison, CO, USA

I received a text from (703) 540-0031

Allert: Name (my first name and last name I changed it years ago.), we've made several attempts to get in contact with you in regard to your outstanding balance. We need to speak with you today or account can be frozen for payment. Unfortunately, we do not respond via text, but you can call us at (650) 250-4899. Call to remove number.

I called the number a man who did not identify him or his company told him, he knew who I was and wanted to know if this was so and so, and wanted to know my new last name. I said you will not get that information until you tell me who you are and who you are with. He stated his client was going to garnish my wages unless I paid them today. I started laughing and said you are nothing more than a scammer and I need for you to stop all communications about whatever it is you are trying to do. Do not call, text or email myself and my family.

He said oh you want to laugh at me, I will see you in court. I said looking forward to it and he hung up.

- Oklahoma City, OK, USA

They called 9 times in 90 seconds. Then they sent a text about two hours later.

Text: “Alert: Kristie XXXX We’ve made several attempts to get in contact with you in regard to your outstanding balance. We need to speak with you today or your account can be frozen for payment. Unfortunately, we do not respond via text but you can call us at 650-250-4899. Call to remove number”.

I sent “stop” and it returned: “Empire Capital Network LLC: You have opted out and will no longer receive messages from this service”. The used a last name I haven’t had in 15yrs, and my current number was never associated with that previous last name.

They called from a 405 area code, the text came from (301) 635-5737, and their call back number was listed as a 650 area code.

Getting calls from the same number saying the same message as described

- Virginia Beach, VA, USA

A call was made to make a payment towards a collections debt to a number listed for Jefferson Capital Systems. The caller was under the impression this person was an employee. He took all the caller's identifiable information to process a payment then began giving information on a credit report service and the caller then realized this was a scam. Two charges were then attempted from the caller's debit card but were thankfully blocked by their bank.

- Tampa, FL, USA

Phone call from ****** ******* Called from ************ and said this was final attempt to settle a complaint. To call 877-********* I did not call it. She has called me twice so far today.

- Worcester, MA, USA

They called claiming I took out an EZ pay Day loan back in 2012 for $683 and it was deposited in my bank account. They had my address and bank information that I had in 2012. But I never took out a loan through anyone. They then claimed to have spoken to my bank and verified that the money went in. That I have had many statements from them sent to me about this debt. As I asked question after question, she became agitated and ended the call obviously she couldn't answer my questions. I then called my bank and they reassured that no one can receive information and that it is now under investigation. They looked once again and there was no loan in my account of any kind.

I received a text from "Harris & Harris Debt Collector" that I will be getting a text about a debt. Then, the text comes stating: Tiffany (not my name), Harris & Harris- collects for Elizabeth River Tunnels. Balance: $83.27. To pay (then the link) or call (then the phone number) and a reply STOP for stop. First of all, in order to get a debt from going through the tunnels is that you actually have to go through a tolled tunnel. I work from home and stay in my city that is nowhere near the tunnels. After visiting the actual web site of the tunnel tolling in my area, there was a note at the top about scams going around for people to give information or pay money that truly isn't owed.
