Scam got me I’m not proud to say.

My mother was contacted and told that I owed money to these people for an account that I had back in 2009 so I figured I may have forgotten about something. So she called me and told me they would garnish my wages if I didn’t call and pay within a certain time frame. So me being an [censored] looked at the “account” they were “collecting on” and figured I’d get it taken care of. Well when they continued to take money I immediately cancelled my card and reported it to my financial institution

Lost $220.08
I received a call from 1-833-566-9418 saying I had a old balance due of $2800.00 from US cellular and they would settle for $1200 but then said if I would pay $220.08 right then it would settle the account. They had my full social security number, old addresses so made me believe it was a legit bill even though i didnt remember ever having US Cellular before. They claimed if I didn't want to settle they would place judgment against my pay roll check, bank account, and could withhold my husbands tax refund if I was listed on the return as well. I was sent a text message to click on a link and agree to the obr time charge of $220.08 and was told I would receive an email within 24 hours. I still haven't received an email and it's been 5 days.

I got a call from my number that said that I had a complaint filed against me and that I had so long to call this other number and give a code to find out what the complaint was. The number I called was the JE group out of California and they advised me that the complaint against me was from a cell phone bill through sprint PCS that was over 20 years old. I was told that if I did not take care of the bill today that they were going to put a judgment against me Levi my bank account and take my money. I asked for documentation on the bill that they said was owed and I was told that they could not give me any information that they had already sent the stuff in the mail which I did not receive. They got me scared therefore I gave them a credit card number and made a monthly payment. After I did so I started doing research and I found in the Better Business Bureau that they have been doing this to other people I also called Sprint PCS to check for myself Sprint advised me that my name was nowhere in their system and I did NOT owe them any money. So I disputed the charge and canceled my credit card. The scary thing is is these people have my Social Security number address and all my information. According to the ScamPulse.com website there has been multiple people file complaints against the JE group for exactly the same thing they’ve done to me.

We were called by the number of (786) 829-5519 and the person told me to call the number of (866) 263-5403. When I called that number, a guy informed me that I had a credit card debt to Wells Fargo with a fee of almost $5000 from 2002, 18 years ago. However, I have never had a Wells Fargo credit card. This guy threatened to garnish my wages and to place a judgment. They said that I should be able to afford this payment due to the unemployment money from the corona virus. He knew my social security number, old address, new address, and more. He said we had to pay it immediately, on the phone, or they would place the judgment. After doing some research, we discovered this is a big scam trying to con others into giving them money. So watch out!

Agent from a supposed Jackson Eden Group called me stating that US CELLULAR had filed a complaint against me due to an unpaid bill from over 15 years ago. They stated that my paychecks or bank account could be garnished. After this I hung up with them, and reached out to US CELLULAR who stated that since it’s been so long ago that I’ve even had an account with them, they couldn’t even find me in their system. Please beware of this fraudulent company.

Received a call from the rudest representative ever claiming that I had 2hrs to contact the collection agency or else legal actions would take place to include a judgement, garnish of payroll, and/or a freeze on my banking account. Proceeded to call the number with the case file associated with my name. They're trying to collect on an account that was charged off 20yrs ago, and the company went out of business. Demanded over $2k but would settle for a little over $1200. Claimed to have sent me several letters that I hadn't responded to. I had to act now because they were ready to move forward with legal action and report to the 3 credit bureaus, and I didn't qualify for the statue of limitations law. With me having a federal job where they credit sweep every 2yrs I was concerned. I agreed to a down payment of $223.16 with 4 consecutive payments scheduled. I received contact info from the person who was handling my case. After thinking about it nothing made sense. I tried to look up the collection agency and all I could find is alerts that it was a scam. The number listed on my bank statement now has a recording that the number has not been setup to receive calls. The person in charge of my account can't be reached. I contacted an attorney and they couldn't find them either. Now I'm disputing the amount with bank, shutting down my account, and waiting on the next call from them. Whatever you do, don't make any arrangements with these people.

A month ago I was contacted by a woman telling me that she had a sealed file in front of her & that I had 1 hour to call a certain number or face legal repercussions due to the fact that they attempted to send documents that I never signed for. I tried to tell her that I never received any documents, but she said to call the number she gave me & reference a certain account number. I was in a hurry to get my son to his doctor appointment so I wrote down the number & called real quick. I was told by the woman that answered that US Cellular had a bill in my name for over $3k from an account that I had in Dakota City, Iowa. I tried to tell her that I currently have US Cellular & that I never had an account with them in Dakota City. She was very adament that this was a complaint filed by US Cellular bu that they were willing to offer a one-time deal of me only paying $1400 in monthly payments. She told me that if I refused to pay this company could take my house (that I don't own), my vehicle (that isn't in my name), & garnish my wages (for a job I don't have since I am a full-time student). I was in a hurry & running late, so I wasn't thinking. I said fine & gave her my checking account number. They promptly took out $143.76 from my & my husband's account & said they would take out the next payment on April 15th. Once I hung up I called my husband who looked up the company & told me he thought it was a scam. I called the number back that I had called before & talked to a woman who informed me that if they were trying to scam me, they would take all my money out. Not just a small amount. Again, stupid me, I believed her. Until the next day when I called US Cellular. They informed me that they do not nor have ever used JE Group as a collection agency AND that they have no record of me owing any bill. I tried calling JE Group back & got not response. No one answered. My husband & I closed our account & opened a new one at another bank. This was one month ago. Last week I received 4 emails & 6 phone calls from JE Group concerning my defaulted payment on my legal file. I ignored the calls & they stopped for a week. Yesterday I received the same call saying that I had 1 hour to call a certain number or else further legal action would be taken. I called the number & spoke with a man who went through the same spiel as the woman did a month ago with the added "Your payment was not received due to insifficeint funds." I told him that I had talked to US Cellular, what they had said, & that, because of the conversation, I closed that checking account. I also told him that I knew this was a scam & not to call me again right before I hung up on him. This afternoon I received the EXACT SAME PHONE CALL saying that the woman had a sealed envelope & that I had 1 hour blah blah blah. I told her I would not be calling that number to which she told me further legal action would be taken. Considering this is for a non-existent bill on an account that I never had, I'm not too worried about "Further legal action."

So this company originally called states they had a claim against my husband. Then they start threatening to take him to court and garnish wages. I asked for proof of them being a legit company and was told they could not provide that until after I made a payment. So I tell them to do what they have to I do not have any amount they are requesting. Then I call the company they claimed who originally had the debt for them to tell me we have a 0 balance. That we are more than welcome to open another account. This company is a scam nothing they say is legit and they will contradict themselves when pressured

Tuesday evening, I received a phone call from a San Antonio, Texas number, (210)806-0233. The female stated that I was three days away from being served a complaint against me and would be taken to court. I asked her what the complaint was regarding, and she told me the envelope was sealed and ready to mail so she could only provide me with a file number and a phone number. I had a one hour hold time to call the number provided before they would mail the documents. I have never had any legal issues before, so in a panic, I immediately called the number I was given and spoke with a woman claiming to be Samantha. She informed me that the complaint was regarding an account with Stream Energy from 2010, nearly 10 years ago. The amount they were seeking at JE Groups was $1,649.27. I asked her how come I have never been notified of this debt before now, and she claimed that 45 days ago, I should have received a letter from them in the mail, which I definitely did not receive. I just bought my home in October of 2018, so I grabbed all the mail I have received since living in my home, and began searching through it for anything from JE that I may have overlooked. Nothing, of course. She informed me that not receiving the letter actually would work in my favor for getting the balance reduced. I informed her I had just bought my home three months ago, and I feel like this debt would have showed on my credit reports, so I was curious how come it didn't show, and never has over the past 10 years. While on the phone with her, I even pulled up my credit card app and opened my credit report, no debt showing for Stream Energy. She informed me that debts will only remain on a credit report for so long before they will be removed and pursued by legal action. I find it odd that a debt from nearly 10 years ago wouldn't still be showing on my credit report, and would not have showed up at all during the course of the last 9 years. She put me on a "brief , silent hold" to go speak with her supervisor to see what they could work out to avoid me paying the full balance and being taken to court. After a minute or two, she returned and said she had "great news!" They would reduce my debt to $985.71 if I paid in full right then. I told her that was not going to happen. She kept insisting that if I didn't pay, arbitration would ensue and I would be taken to court. She also informed me they would garnish wages, levy my account, even take my personal possessions from me to obtain this debt. I told her this just doesn't seem right to me because I have never been contacted in the past 9 years about this debt, by Stream nor a collection agency. I made a payment out of fear for being taken to court. I immediately deactivated my debit card through my banking app. Samantha had my social security number, my address, phone number, and date of birth. I am worried this is a scam and my account and identity might be compromised. I contacted my bank first thing the following morning and canceled the card and have been issued a new one. I also contacted my local police department to see what I needed to do, if anything. They advised me to contact Stream Energy myself first and see what they had to say. I called them and had them look my name up, I did have service with them from 2010 to 2011. Service ending in April of 2011. How come the debt claim is from 2010 and not 2011 if that is when the account with Stream closed? Stream did inform me a balance was due, but she could not see the amount since it had been so long. She did provide me with a phone number that was last updated in 2013 for a collections company. (888)270-2861. I called and it is now a number for Luminous Air. I called the original San Antonio number back and it didn't even ring, just silence. I called the JE Groups number and told the lady I was returning a missed call. She looked up my cell number and confirmed my name. I asked her for proof that they are a legitimate collections agency and she said the email I should receive in a few days regarding my payment will provide me with the information I need for proof. I told her of the complaints I was currently reading through on ScamPulse.com and she said "Ma'am, no one likes paying debts they owe, people will say anything online. ScamPulse.com is basically a fancy version of Yelp." She even went as far as to tell me "If this was a scam, we would have drained your bank account." I told her that's not necessarily true. I told her "You people are smart about what you do, draining an account would get you caught, you can fly under the radar by just taking the amount you claim to be seeking and then moving on to the next person." She said she was going to transfer me to my case manager, Samantha. Of course Samantha was "assisting another customer," so she would return my call within the next 30 minutes. I never received a call from "Samantha." I am unsure what to do at this point, because Stream informed me of a balance I owe them, but I have a hard time believing JE Groups is a real debt collection agency seeking settlement on my account with Stream. There are too many red flags and too many complaints from people with proof they do not owe the alleged company a debt JE is seeking. I contacted my lender yesterday morning, and she is also not seeing anything for Stream Energy on my credit report.

I received an initial call from a company "passing" on a notice to me. The caller did not tell me what the issue was regards to but a "judgement" was filed against me and I needed to call another number to discuss my "file". I called back to figure out what this was in regards to. They referenced a Sprint Debt Collection from 2003. I have had At&t since 1998 so I was pretty certain I did not owe the debt. I asked a lot of questions in regards to the 15 year age of the debt and what rights they had to garnish my wages as they were threatening. The call was escalated to a supervisor who was very nice and convincing in terms of answering my questions with what seemed like legit answers. They sent me a text message prior to confirming payment (I was seriously going to settle with them as they proposed placing something on my credit for 10 years). When they sent me the text, I googled the company name "JE Group" and found numerous complaints with the same theme and threats. I told them about it and that I was for certain not going to give them my credit card info and call a lawyer. They tried very hard to get me on the phone with the "underwriting supervisor" but I asked why wait 15 years to collect a debt and if it was as easy as sending to an underwriting dept and garnishing my wages- why not just garnish them or do it sooner? I hung up the phone. "Ebony" the supervisor called me back from 1-844-483-0857 trying to collect the payment. They had my most recent addresses and last four digits of my social which is pretty crazy!

First they said this was from a collection agency arbitration division. I asked to speak to a manager (sent me to a supervised). When I asked again she said thurs is the top. I got my lawyer on the phone and panic set in trying to get my lawyer off the phone. Threatening to send judgement to my company. The "so called" supervisors name was Ebony Kelly.

I received a call from a different phone number. (844-573-4704) When I answered the phone the person on the other side asked if I was XX, when I replied yes, she said that I had 2 hours to contact JE Group or I’d be taken to court. She gave me a phone number and an access code. I called that number, they said they were a debt collection agency and that I owe AT&T X amount of dollars for a cell phone bill that was under my name from 2000-2002. I tried to explain I never had cell service with that company. The agent proceeded to tell me that I had to pay or go to court. I asked to speak to a supervisor, she proceeded to tell me that JE Group sent me a letter in the mail 45 days ago to my lady 2 known addresses. I never received any paperwork. I asked for the account number and more time to do research because this whole situation was fishy. The supervisor whose name is Eleneh Barns stated that they only had the last 4 digits of my account number. She also said if I didn’t commit to paying this bill that they’d take me to court and this “bill” would be on my credit report for 10+ years. Needless to say I made the foolish decision to make a payment arrangement; however, I did my research. AT&T wasn’t even a cellular company st that time, the statutes of limitation has passed, and ATT&T couldn’t find me by name or social security number. Now I’m trying to call that number to share my findings with them and no one is answering their lines for 2 days straight.

JE Groups or also known as Johnson and Edwards collections, contacted me on 10/20/2017. Upon them contacting me, I was notified that I was being brought up on civil charges for a bill that was 10 years old.

I received a call on my husbands phone asking for me with my maiden name from a North Carolina number the woman stated that there has been a complaint filed against me. She refused to provide any info other than she had a sealed envelope that she could not open along with a phone # to call 877-639-0718 & File# Bg292 to provide them with. She also stated that she could put the complaint on hold for 2 hours if I don't call the number within 2 hours they will go ahead with further proceedings. I called the number and spoke with someone. He had me confirm my date of birth which I provided. He then told me my last four of my social to confirm. He advised me that there was a complaint/civil suite and an asset and liability against me for a bill that I had with Tmobile that was filed in 2013. He stated there have been multiple attempts to contact me and they had sent a letter 45 days ago .I informed him that I never received a letter and have been at the same address for many years which he had confirmed was correct with me. I asked him to resend the paperwork so I can review it and determine if it is my debt. He stated that it is to late for that and I either need to pay today or they will start the process to garnish my wages. He stated they had a right to 25% of my paychecks as well as 25% of any money I had in the bank each month. He stated that if I tried to sell or refinance my car there would be a lien put on it until the debt was paid. I check my credit report frequently and have fraud protection. I have no accounts in collections or any derogatory marks. I informed him that if it was my account I had not had Tmobile for many years and that I had the clearance letter where it shows I owe no money when I switched company . He stated that that is untrue as it was sold into collections and reported on my credit report in 2013 and that it has been through several collection agencies . . He was wanting to go over information and confirm payment arrangements. I informed him that I am not discussing any of this and told him I will need to talk to an attorney. I kept getting the "pay now or else..." Ultimatum. I asked if there would be a court hearing that I could attend to dispute the account. He stated there would not be that if I do not pay today it will go to their judge and they would instantly win. I informed him that if that is what they must do then go ahead. I know certain laws and his words contradicted them. Everything about this sounded shady. I have Equifax and they had a security breach. I also worked for Jackson Memorial Hospital and they had a security breach so it could easily be a scam
