I went to my local emergency room in March 2024. My insurance claim was processed, and I paid my part to the provider. In November 2024, I received a bill ($1649) for that emergency visit from a company that I did not recognize (Integrative Emergency Services, IES South Carolina LLC). I contacted my provider, and I do not have a balance with them. I contacted my insurance company. IES is not in their system and did not file a claim with them. They researched and said they believed it to be a scam. I had received a notification sometime between the time of my visit and receiving the bill saying that my medical information may have been compromised; therefore, I was skeptical when the new bill arrived 8 months after treatment.

Owner of the Business was contacted on his cellphone. The person on the line told him that he was calling from a collections to try and collect payment for a past due amount. The owner, handed the phone to me, the bookkeeper, and I requested an Invoice in which he explained that there was one already sent to the owners email. I explained that i take over the billing issues and would need an invoice. He explained that he would send one over and that there was a form to fill out billing and to send it over promptly. When i received this email it was from "On-Line Link Media". There was no website, no records in my office of where we have does business with them at all. I checked bank statements and started to investigate further to find out that there was no info on line either. I looked up on ScamPulse.com and noticed no such business so i reached back out via email and requested an email and that i need more information before i completed any type of payments. i have not received any other emails sense. I contacted the previous bookkeeper from previous years and low and behold the same type email was sent via her email years before.

These people have been harassing me for over a month. They must have access to an old phone contact list because they are also harassing my close friends and family and people I haven’t spoken to in years. They have harassed my adult children and minor children’s phones with endless calls saying the need to serve me papers.

This appears to be a fishing email designed to obtain more of my personal information, presumably for the purpose of stealing my information or money or selling my information.

They couldn’t tell me where the debt was from. They told me 3 different places and wouldn’t send me anything via email

Or written. They called my son. Threatened to put a lien on all of my accounts including my Apple Pay. They were very threatening and rude. They kept demanding that I put a payment and when I said I could call back during pay day they demanded I do it right away or nothing. I got a panic attacked and she kept being very hostile and even hung up on me. Avery solutions is the company name.

Scammer called with my name, previous addresses, and first few numbers of my SSN claiming that I had received numerous letters at my previous addresses for an outstanding debt on a CC (Capital One-I’ve never had a card with them) and/or first national bank (never had an account with them and don’t know who they are).

This particular scammer said they had obtained a debt that need to be paid off immediately $7000 that was from 2009. If I didn’t pay it, they were going to take me to court and get a civil judgment against me. And garnish my wages, it wasn’t until I actually googled the name because they texted me, that I was able to find out that SCAM??

I received a phone call stating my bank accounts personal and business and all assets tied to my SSN would be frozen and liened if I did not pay the $3500.00. I told the lady I needed proof of the debt before I would pay anything and she said that she was going to send it up to escalations as refusal to pay. I told her it is my rights as a consumer to have access to all original account numbers and invoices upon request. She told me I was being rude so I told her no she was violating my rights and she hung up. I called back multiple times thinking this was a true instance and wanted my consumer rights regarded, was forwarded put on hold hung up on multiple times by the same lady. She said after third attempt it was already sent up stairs and my accounts will be froze and it was out of her hands. I looked up this company here on ScamPulse.com scam tracker and found a different phone number so I called it. I got "the guy up stairs" lol. He gave me so much personal information it was scary it seemed so real! Note this is a debt from 2010 so they say, I do not recall going to the ER for any reason in that time period. They knew my address, where I worked and even a DR name at the hospital in our town that has since changed name but gave the previous name of the ER, and went to tell me about the reason for the visit which is a HIPPA violation. To be safe we removed all money from bank accounts and will see what happens.

I can't prove this is a scam -- it's still ongoing.

However: I've gotten two strange messages from the 240 860 number.

Here is the iPhone transcription of message left from this number: (she left my name)

"My name is Valerie Jimenez. I'm calling to inform you that this is your official notification you have been placed on my schedule to be served court sale (that was the iPhone transcription) documents. You will be served at either your place of residence or place of employment and will need to provide your signature and two forms of identification. If you have any questions or would like to place a stop action on this service you will need to contact your filing party at 405 504 6519."

This doesn't register with me. I looked up the 405 number and it has a couple of scam notifications in the reverse lookup.

So this isn't a documented scam but perhaps it is the whiff of scam to come. I'm not going to call the 405 number.

Scammer called my brother looking for me. Said they could disclose full details but it was a serious matter and needed to speak to me to resolve the money issue. This 833-833-2793 is a number listed already as scamming and number they provided to call back to but the number that popped up on the phone is 304-244-7329

Voice mail message: “This call was to let you know that all past due tax debt has been placed in a non-collectible status” … “this is part of that new federal economic recovery program” you’ve probably heard about on the news. So before you file… give us a call. Again my number is 1 87 720 12783
