The scammer has called my company for weeks trying to contact a previous employee and used pressure & threatening tactics to try and get me to give them his personal information. Every call has ended with me telling them I cannot release information about prior or current employees and telling them to stop calling my company or I would get my lawyer involved.

My experience with these scam companies is that they are trying to collect on old account(s) that were discharged due to very old bankruptcy cases. After 10 years these drop off of consumer credit reports and are only collectible if the customer contacts them back which can validate their claims through a loophole in consumer law.

I ignored the call and it went to voicemail. This is the message that I received: "Hi, this is an important urgent message. Our office is trying to get in touch with NAME. We are leaving notice that your case does require some sort of an arrangement on your account right away. If you do prefer electronic communication visit our website at dmslawgroup.com or you can call us back at this number. It's very important we get this handled before anything else. Again the website is dmslawgroup.com." It's definitely a recorded message.

I received a call from a collection agency that claimed to have represented Easy Money Loan Services but would not provide me any additional information on the source of the debt from its origin and the address of the debtor. But claimed that I took out a loan from any of their loan services and subsidiaries. The collector claimed it before October 2015. I have not heard of this company or its sources and have never done business with any affiliates. It knew personal information about me. The collector claimed to be located in Pembroke, FL but the location was different in the last months, which before the collector was in Dallas Texas. The company constantly harassed me. With trying to take money from and will file a judgment in court. This is the same collector that contacted months ago under a different name, Advance America, located in Dallas Texas. I received a response from the complaint to reach out to the FBI, but I don't have the correct information to make contact as this was not an internet crime to report. I am stressing horribly because I don't know these collectors or the debtors. I want them to stop calling me now!

When I went onto the website and put in the phone number they called, my father's name came up. My father is alive & well and I do not have any financial POA over him to be legally allowed to speak to anyone about his financial affairs. They also called my father. He has not had any type of credit in over 15 years.

I have been receiving multiple calls via the 510 area code. These are some sort of phishing scheme and the volume was such that I created a block so the calls are not answered. Recently this new

attempt from 5106468293 left a voicemail message claiming they are a debt collection or professional debt mediator. The call was received on October 8, 2024 at3:52PM I will not return the call as there are no debts that I am aware of.

hello, this is an urgent message address verification is needed. My name is Stephanie Lombardo. I am reaching from the payment processing department at MC Account. We need to verify the address we have on file for you as we are preparing documentation related to your case. Despite multiple attempts to contact you via email and phone, we have not received a response. Please call 833 883 2218.

I noticed when the caller left a voicemail to be calling from a local number of 202 800 7976, which shows as spam.
