He Said my husbands name and asked if I knew that person. I said yes. Proceeded to say he had outstanding debt in tolls and they’re a collection agency and to avoid court we could settle now. He didn’t ask for money right away, he wanted me to sign something first.

I asked for documentation and he emailed me something I couldn’t open and I said I would have r speak with my husband. I also called our state toll company to verify if we had any outstanding charges and make sure our auto pay was set up.

The guy called back and I told him I spoke with the state department and cleared any balance due. He asked what number I called and I said Google. He said I don’t believe wand hung up. Now I’m reporting. My balance due to the state was coincidentally a bill I received in the mail that day for a nominal amount and not for $900! We use our tolls almost daily so there was no way this was possible.

I got a call from a quasi local number on 10/13/2023 saying that they were from the "state processing unit" and that I was going to be served and my wages would be garnished on 10/16/23. Well it included an 877 number to call if I wanted to stop proceedings. Just to be cautious I searched my local court system for cases where I'd be involved and nothing showed up (I wasn't shocked).

There are a few hallmarks of scams to notice here. First, a process server might call you to facilitate delivery of a summons but they won't call you and tell you to call the people suing you to see if you can stop wage garnishment. Also, wage garnishment will start if you're sued and lose and refuse to pay.

This particular scammer did make some other mistakes that aren't as common. They did set up a fake website for bensonandjacobs.com with some vague legalese on it. But they also included a physical address, 801 Kenilworth Avenue, Charlotte, North Carolina 28204 (see screenshot). Unfortunately for them, that is the location of a closed Wells Fargo building that is being torn down to make way for a new 5 story medical office building. I spoke to the property manager to confirm. I know why they wanted a physical address but they should have chosen a better one. I suppose they figured no one would check but I am the type that does.

Anyway, definitely a scam.

scammers name Steve Moore
Representing; Benson-Jacobs law firm
Phone numbers 877-700-6743 and 877-700-6515
date- 10-30-2023
I received a call from a lady named Sarah at 712-847-5243 on 10-29-2023 stating that I needed to call 977-700-6743 regarding a summons for NAM1880IAfor me to appear in court or be served with a garnashment of my pay. I called the first number and was referred to the second number. I got a voice mail from both numbers, I left a message at the second number The next day this guy called me stating that I was being sued by Chase bank of Washington for over $5000 but they were willing to settle for half if I gave it to him over the phone today. I have never done business with Chase bank of anywhere, much less for $5000. I told him I would have my lawyer contact him. He answered just wait until you get the summons and you can fight this in court. I said FINE I WILL DO THAT. See us in court, and hung up.
I checked the number on my caller ID that the gal called from stating I needed to call the 877 number and it is an invalid number.
I am pretty sure this is a scam operation going on.

This is for sure a scam. They called me from a quasi local number on 10/13 (Friday) saying I would be served papers on the following Monday. Well I just ignored it, it had the hallmarks of a scam. But on around the 18th I decided to have some fun with them. I looked up the 877-700-6515 number on line and it ties to a website (bensonandjacobs.com) that was created in April. The website says they've been in business for 30 years but all they have is this very cookie cutter website they made this year? Unlikely. They have a physical address on the site, but if you search for that address it is the former site of a Wells Fargo bank that has since closed and is being demolished to make way for a medical office building. So now I'm just calling them on the regular for entertainment. They don't want me calling them back, but why shouldn't I? They said they had information for me and they won't really provide any hard data.

Benson & Jacobs supposedly hired a locator service to serve me the documents for a debt that I supposedly owed. I called Benson & Jacobs and spoke with Steve Moore. He gave me the following information related to the debt that they are suing me about: Original Account # xxxx -- American Express with Date of delinquency: 04/30/2017 from MidAmerica Bank & Trust in the amount of $2394.11. They wanted me to settle with the amount of $1622.58. I told them that this is not my debt because I was never a customer of MidAmerica Bank & Trust. I also told them that I never had an American Express credit card during that time. He told me to wait to be served and dispute the debt during the court hearing. I asked him to verify my current address so that I could be sure to receive the documents. He started getting agitated and was very rude and told me to wait to be served. I asked for the number of the locator service so I could call them and give them my current address so I can receive the papers so I can show up in court. Once again, Steve Moore got very upset and was rude. He even laughed at me that I didn't know the process for debt collection. After the call, I called MidAmerica Bank & Trust. I gave them the account number given to me by Benson & Jacobs. Customer service from bank said that the account number is too long for their bank. Customer service checked using my current name and previous legal name as well as my date of birth. Bank confirmed that I never had an account with MidAmerica Bank & Trust. Therefore, this debt is not mine. This law firm could be a scammer so I am filing a formal complaint.

They contacted my personal cell phone, my place of employment and my wife's cell phone. They had our address. They made multiple calls to my job saying they needed to serve me with papers, along with my personal phone and wife's phone. They threatened to take us to court, and they threatened to put a lean on our house and garnish wages. I put a fraud alert on my account to stop this. I never had credit card debit as they claimed. My wife called to let them know they needed to stop and they said see you in court.

The person called me and said i had a past due credit card from 2013. Said I paid the card for 2 years and stopped paying it. Said i needed to pay 895.00 ober the pjone or they would serve me a judgment and take my car. I asked for the bank who the card was from and told them that there was no card on my credit history from that bank. She said it wouldnt show because it was never sent in. I told her that you have to show a history of payments for your credit report she said that they would send someone to my house with papers if I didnt pay it. I refused to pay so she said the cops would come last night but no one came.

He said he was with the state of nebraska and used my old married name from over 10 years ago. He said if I didn’t contact a company named Fine, Webber and Ross by tomorrow they were going to file a notice of claim against me at the Lancaster County Court. I googled and that company seems legit but the number came back as being flagged for a healthcare fraud investigation

A caller from, by the name of Sherry Cena, called my mom and claimed that I took out a loan in 2016 and I needed to call her back to make sure that I wouldn't be served court papers. This person was very convincing and had personal information on me(although, it was very outdated)

My mom thought it was legit so she told her where I worked and she called my work. I then called her, told her that I didn't take out a loan and asked that she leave me and my family alone. She then went on a tirade trying to convince me that she wasn't a scammer so I hung she. She tried calling me back but I didn't answer.

They tell me I owe a creditor and also used my maiden name. The thing is I've never had a credit card in my maiden name except one that is paid off and no longer in use. They even used the last 4 of my social security number. They told me i owed $2700 to the creditors plus legal fees and penalties. They could not give me a straight answer on who the creditor was amd they have many umbrellas under them. They also told me they would send this to my county of residence and proceed with court action.

They called me and said my husband was in trouble for taking out a pay day loan. I knew he had never done so but then they said it was in 2015 before we were married and told me his former place of employment and his bank that he used. I followed up with my husband and he never took out such a loan and explained its all available information but to report it. I did call back that number and asked them to take me off the list and they said they "couldn't do that"

my husband received a call from 1-866-442-7082 claiming to be a collections agency indicating that my husband had taken out a loan for $500 which he had defaulted on and needed to pay it back. No additional information was given. When I called the same number to inquire about my husband’s alleged loan, before I could get a word out, the woman on the phone was somehow able to pull up my name, birth date, FULL social security number, and current mailing address just by my phone number. Then she proceeded to indicate that I had taken a loan out (no mention of my husband) for $500 which was defaulted on sometime in December of 2019 and with interest I owed $1,400 but they could make an exception and let me just pay $600 if I wanted to close the debt today. When I requested an official letter with the lender information, etc., I was told the agency did not provide that, then I was told they sent it to me but I must have thrown it out, and the last version was that it was mailed to me but returned as undeliverable. When I insisted for it to be resent, I was told they don’t do that and if I want to dispute it, I will have to wait for it to be negatively reflected on my credit history, after which I’d have to fight the credit agencies for seven years to fix the error, etc. I do not understand how such agencies can have access to private information, AND use that information to collect money from vulnerable individuals. I am not sure whether this information is accurate or not, but this is the website given to me by the alleged collection agency https://akermonrossenfelds.com/about

Got a Robo call to call back “Mark and Lester Litigations” at (866) 211-3183. They claim I owe a debt from cash net USA, however that company won’t give loans out in the state I reside in. They won’t give any information about anything in detail. They wanted $2000 and then said they can settle with $500.

I did not give them any money, but I they somehow had my full name, address, phone number, Email, and last 4 of SSN.

The website they use has no real information, and has grammatical mistakes. Almost as if it was put up very fast for this round of scams.

I spoke with Kyle from IQ International Data. He was rude and forceful, and unprofessional with me. I told him today was the first day that I heard about the debt and would pay it on July 1st when the other mom said she could pay her half. He refused it and ask what could I pay now: I told him 1 or $200 then July 1st total amount. He said no he was going to send out against my credit. No letter or letters concerning this was ever sent to me by any collection agency. This is totally unfair. He said he sent letters but none of us received one through the mail certified or uncertified. Hoping your office can contact this company and request of them not to turn this over against my credit report. Kyle 941 741-8739

IQ International Data due to none willingness to accept full payment on July 1st and your forceful, rude, and unprofessional conversation with me over the phone. And, nothing in writing was ever sent to me nor the other person involved leads to know you’re a scam artist. This has to be a scam. I am turning this company over to police and authorities to investigate. He would only accept cash payment in full by phone.

A woman with southern accent named Carrie Campbell called myself and my mother from unknown number. Stated I filed a claim and had a case number but did not provide a company name. The last voicemail stated that it would be the final contact and that I would be "scheduled to be found". I called back number provided and another woman answered, did not state name of company either. I explained I never filed a claim and had no idea why I and my family was being harassed, I also do not put my mother on anything. She was very rude and began reading off a bunch of charges from Advance America in 2022 and named a bank account I had closed in 2016 and there was a total of 1014 due for court charges. They also had my dob and social. She began to state emails and letters were sent to me, I stated I have no emails regarding any of this, she then became nasty and told me to check my spam, I told her not to speak to me like I stupid and will call Advance America myself to figure this out, she said they wont help you, I hung up on them.

I received multiple calls from +1(405)8250691 today. He said he was a dispatcher and I needed to call another number to verify my info so that they could send me court documents. Then they started calling from 888-237-3858 & 833-625-8281 after I blocked the other number. Said they could give me any info nor tell me where JLG was located. Very awkward as I know I don't have a criminal record AT ALL

Calls numerous times claiming I owe tax debt, which I do not. I’ve never owed taxes after filing, I’ve ALWAYS gotten a refund. So I call back and ask the name of the company, and they keep hanging up. That SCREAMS scammers and they just won’t talk to me because I know what I’m talking about.
