Individual stated in text message: This is a formal notice regarding your outstanding debt. Despite previous attempts to resolve this matter, it remains unsolved. Further action may be pursed if payment is not received promptly. Please contact us to discuss payment options at 943-293-6710.

I immediately called the number to inquire what this was regarding. The gentlemen said that it was regrading a personal loan in the amount of $800.00 from and Easy Corp/Easy Money provider. I stated that I have never done a loan as such, and to please provide me with whatever documentation he had because there had to be a mistake somewhere. He then went on to state that if I did not handle the matter today I would be served. My response was, I need documentation of what he was speaking of and if he could not provide that then I will wait to be served. He said not a problem, and hung up the phone. Tried recalling as he did not give a name, however, called four times and no answer. Did not confirm any information with the exception of my name.

People from same number keep calling from SRS. They refuse to tell me what SRS stands for. It used to be ****** calling me 10x a week from this place. Now its a guy named ****** or a woman calling about a "time sensitive matter." I calked the number and these people claim that I took put a payday loan from a place called EZ cash. I checked my credit report, theres nothing there. I asked them to verify my address, but they only verified the street, not city and state. I asked them to mail me a letter telling me what the debt is for and thet said, "we mailed one in January." I never received anything from any SRS company. I asked them to verify address again and still they refused city and state or zip. I told them that until I recieve a copy ofvthe ketter detailing the debt, I wasn't going to pay anything. They threatened me with a "lawsuit" and would "see you in court, good luck." They hung up. Ive asked them to quit calling, but it doesn't work. I've blocked all their calls, so now it goes to voice mail. They have verified the last four of my SSN. I have IDENTITY IQ which monitors everything, including the dark web. I Googled SRS and there is no location in Oklahoma except the area code goes to some place in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. None of the numbers these people call from are even in Oklahoma.

Said I owed money from a credit card from 2008. I do not. But they said they were suing me and serving me with a summons. They had my personal info and tried to bully me into paying for something that I did not owe.

Caller left a voicemail identifying themselves as Marc Sanchez and was calling from a county office (didn't say which one) and that they've sent documents to my address multiple times, but haven't received a response. Said that my "file" had been release from compliance and to issue to me immediately and in order to avoid legal action call 866-283-3262. Provided a civil complaint number, which is false, and that I have been notified. I know from past experience I had a similar caller tell me I had an outstanding debt (false) and tried to collect or else they would serve me a lawsuit, but process servers don't notify recipients of a lawsuit.

April 1, 2024: I received a phone call at 3:29pm EDT; didn't recognize the number, so I let it to go voicemail. The recorded message they left: "message for [my name], reference number [redacted]. I'm calling from Document Processing. We're following up on documents sent to you from J.A.A. in regards to a complaint. Please contact the [unintelligible] office to avoid legal complications at 866-308-0118 and for further assistance provide them your reference number." Around this same time, my ex-wife received 2 calls, one each on her cell and home phones; when she answered, the caller asked to speak with me (she replied that we've been divorced for over a decade), claimed they had papers to serve, and that they'd tried to reach me but my 'voicemail was full' (that's 100% a lie). Calls to her came from 516-963-3715 & 347-919-6748; both are probably "spoofed" numbers, since both numbers' Area Codes match her cell and home phone numbers respectively. AND shortly after the call to me, I received a text message (on my Google Voice number, not my cell) from an unknown number, 224-432-4853; text was simply "Hello how are you doing"; a few minutes later, a group message with the same text was sent - from that same number - to my Google Voice number and some other number I didn't recognize.

This phone number called my brother incessantly trying to get in touch with me to settle a debt. My brother lives on an entirely different coast than I do and this place did not reach out to any other family members, just my brother over and over and over. It was a pre-recorded message stating that I owed a debt and that they were trying to get in touch with me to settle it.

The scammer claims that I have an unpaid loan from about 7 years ago and that I have a court date that I never heard of and have no documentation for. The name used was Brian Baker and the “company” was POS systems. They said I could settle out of court for about $1500 but they wouldn’t provide any information via email. They wanted me to agree to pay first. They also have all of my PII and rattled it off on the call without verifying that I was the appropriate recipient.

This company is a collection agency attempting to collect on very old debt that is no longer owed by making threats that consumers will be served at their job and taken to court if they dont pay. The owner and his friends have brought this scam from NY to GA.

On February 16, 2024 I received a phone call from (302) 676-0991. I did not answer it. The caller left a voice message. I think my machine began recording the message a few words in. The message ran as follows.

“…you as a respondent. It is imperative we hear from you immediately if you desire to handle this matter voluntarily. Contact the mediation department at phone number / 3026760991./ Please keep in mind if you fail to comply this will result in the forfeiture of your rights to (seek?) this matter, and a complaint will be forwarded out to your local jurisdiction. Consider this your official notification.”

The speaking portion of the message lasted 25 seconds. Then there were three seconds of fuzzy, static-y silence followed by two seconds of a prolonged, soft beep that sounded more like line a phone noise you hear before or after a call connects than an actual recorded beep.

You may notice the forward slashes I include in the message. These represent changes in the sound. The first portion sounds like a recording of a real woman. She sounds like a young, educated, no-nonsense Black woman with the emphatic but slightly bored, half-hearted tone you’d expect from someone whose job is bill-collecting. The second portion of the message sounds like a recording of the robotic, personality-less, accentless female voice you traditionally get on automated call menus. The third portion of the message initially sounds like the same woman who did the second portion of the message, but her tone is less robotic and more upbeatedly matter-of-fact. Her pronunciation shifts slightly at the end to sound a bit more like the woman in the first portion of the message, though the timbre of the voice doesn’t perfectly match.

I did not call back because I suspect this call was a spam call. For this reason I cannot offer any additional information about the caller.

I listed Carlisle, Pennsylvania as the place the scammer is operating out of, not because I think they are physically in Carlisle, but rather because I am in Carlisle, and so that is the location where the call was received. It may be worth mentioning I do not have a Carlisle phone number. I have a phone number with a *** (*********) prefix.

My mom received a call from someone named Kimberly Gaylord but did not identify what law firm or any other information but gave a phone number (888-720-1955) and reference number for a return call. So I called back after not finding any info online about this number. I gave my reference number and was transferred to a Greenview Financial Solutions. The gentleman knew personal information which I confirmed (DOB, last 4 of SSN) but had my maiden name which I haven't used since 2007. Said that I had a breech of contract with some creditor named Midland Corp or something and had an outstanding balance of $3218 that was open from 2016-2018. He said they sent me a settlement notice in January of this year but did not receive any return mail nor a response so they were suing me for the $3218 in my local court. When I told him that this account was not on my credit report nor any collections, he tried saying that it was past the collections stage. I also know that creditors by Federal Law only have a certain amount of time to sue you for a debt and this is past that time period. After all that he said he was disconnecting the call. I have since pulled all 3 of my credit reports and there is no account in collections or on my report. Any my local court info site and there are no cases out on my name. I am assuming that they got my info off the dark web and are trying to scam me out of $3218.
