I got a phone call from this number, claiming that a "process server" was trying to serve me, (claimed they had been at my address several times), but were unable to attain my signature. A 866-650-4406 phone number was given for me to contact, along with a reference number. The weird thing is, the only "company name' this individual had was "J.A." Also, someone is pretty much always home at my residence, so I would know if someone were trying to "serve" me.

Received a phone call from Hoffman & Associates (888-292-2544) claiming me & my husband owed a credit card debt from Bank of America in 2013. That a bank levy was going to be filed if they could not deliver the information by the end of the week. I added my husband to the phone conversation and the representative became incredibly rude. He stated I already told you what this was about and when my husband tried to answer further questions, he said this is regarding both of you and repeated my SSN. I said that is not what you stated initially, & he said if it wasnt you how would I have your SSN. He wouldnt send us any information and refused to answer any further questions and finally hung up on us. We have never had a credit card or bank account with Bank of America. Everyone, please be careful as this is very alarming!

Someone from GFS 866 981 6211 just tried calling me with a case number. Claiming I owe $4000 to EZ Loan Payday loan for $4,000 back in 2012. Well, here is the funny thing, I wasn't even working back then and was still in college. They claimed to have made multiple attempts to reach me but to no avail. GFS Legal Services is the name that they go by. I do not owe these people any money, and I'm looking forward to them trying to serve me. Complete Scam. I hope these scums of the universe get a taste of karma for targeting innocent people. They know the last 4 of your social and full name. I'm sure they can do skip tracing to find out other contact information about anyone. PLEASE BEWARE OF THESE SCUMS !!!!!

This company left 2 voice messages to call them back. I called them back. They said I had an outstanding balance from a loan that was not paid. I asked for dates, but they could not provide me with the date. They said when the loan came to them, it was just the name of the company and the amount. The representative stated that if I did not agree to pay my wages would garnished and papers would be served at my house or my employer. This scared me a lot.

A company titled The Client Mediation Group has been contacting my employer via the general customer service number (vs a reputable direct line or Human Resources number I would’ve provided if truly my account) claiming they’re attempting to reach me to resolve an unknown debt. I have requested they follow federal laws and provide written notice which they claim they have but i advised did not receive. I asked them to resend and they refuse to do so. Additionally, I asked for their company ID and/or the address for client mediation group and they refuse to provide, but continued to insist on collecting payment. Google search of this company reflects numerous scam complaints and shady business practices. I have asked them to discontinue contacting my employer and I by phone until they provide the necessary information but fear they will continue to harass me. They did not mention how much is reportedly owed during the conversation just that payment is needed and that they will not send anything in writing. I am unable to find anything that insinuates this is a credible business and this debt is not and has never been reflected on any of my credit reports. The number they provided for call back was 470-242-0953 which only reaches an individuals voicemail however they call from 470-333-0577.

A supposed collection company (they change the name frequently - NRS, ARS, and SRS), has been calling for months accusing me of receiving an old payday loan from about 15 years ago. After asking many times they send no documentation or evidence. They evidentially sent a document saying I owe them $500 or it would go up to $1500 in a few days. The most recent contact is now from a Scott Randolph Associate law firm. Google this lawfirm. The founder was convicted of fraud and sentence to prison for 48 months about 12 years ago. Look up the company address, there is NO BUILDING ON THAT LOCATION. This all has been a massive weird head-trip.

But, interestingly I was part of a case-action lawsuit that won millions from Cash Net, now supposedly I own on a payday loan and they just realized about 15 years later??? I and others won millions (broke down to a couple hundreds for each). But I'm guessing that information is publicly available and these filthy losers are trying to scam people.

I got a phone call about a lawsuit, when i called them back they informed me I had a debt from 2014 from a check cashing money loan place, they told me since it had come to their law firm they did not have to give me the information but if i pay they will stop the judgement. I did not pay them and i did some homework. FYI in the GREAT State of Texas they have a law that states if the debt is greater than 4 years old they cannot sue you nor can they sell the debt and claim it as new.

I get a call during the middle of the workday on a Thursday. The number is a local area code, so I answer it. I am greeted by an automated service stating that this call is for (states my name). I am then transferred over to a woman who asked me how she could help me, when they called me. It sounded as if the woman was in a moving vehicle with the windows down. Then I was transferred to another woman named Kaylee who proceeded to tell me that they were collecting a debit from a payday loan taken out back in 2017. The balance with interest was in the mid 3k range. The settlement amount was 800 and they are proceeding with a garnishment and freeze of my bank accounts. She said she could see what they could do to get it down and came back with two options pay half of 800 etc etc she used legal terms and was a fast talker. she asked for my email address to send over the agreement. While on hold It hit me that this was a scam. I hung up. I had also looked up the business Scott Randolph and it pop up as permanently closed. and then some association to a Florida man. I believe this is a scam.
