Leave a Commentthis caller didn't even call MY house!!!! she called my ex-husband of 12 years. i have never lived in the house he's living in now. if this was legit....i think they would know that. when i called the number is was the desk of loura james wanting me to leave a call back number. i'm pretty sure this is a scam.
I received a call from some **** from 240-235-4179 today. True to form a lady claimed to be Sgt. Somebody and said she was calling about this legal matter. A debt that I owed about 15 years ago. She wanted to know if I had been served. I told her this matter had been settled in court. I won and the case was dismissed. She said that I would be served in 72 hours. She said my address and then went on to say criminal charges were attached to the warrant. I told her I would be right here. She then said good luck in court. I told her I look forward to it. When I called the number back to get the name of the company, so that I sould report it to the attorney general's office. A lady answered "Litigation Firm!" Dumb A**, I thought, what legit company does not say the name of the company. Afraid of these ****s??? I don't think so. I have a case and docket number where the case was dismissed over 10 years ago. I am the wrong one. SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!!!!!
Sam and Tom are full of it. They work for this illegitimate agency. They called me six weeks ago, I told them to take me off their illegal list and informed them that I was reporting them to the appropriate agencies...guess what? Haven't heard from them since. Here's the scoop:This is a group of people currently taking advantage of people across the United States. They go by a variety of names and phone numbers -- some of the names they use include Global****et Investigations, Worldwide Recovery Services, Worldwide****et Investigation Services and North American****et Investigation Bureau (NAAIB). Last year they were operating out of Cleveland, OH, until they were shut down -- the Cleveland BBB named them as one of the top ten scams of 2007 (http://cleveland.bbb.org/WWWRoot/SitePage.asp ... 19642b&art=4334).You can get more info here: http://www.budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/NAAIB.htm.They will probably continue using this MD number until they get shut down a***n, then s**** using a new area code, but the MO is always the same: they call and identify themselves in a way that implies they are either working for a lawyer, the court system, or the police department (all of these misleading statements are illegal); tell you that there has been a civil case filed a***nst you, they give you a case number, and tell you that you must contact them before a warrant is sworn out a***nst you. When you contact them, they tell you that they are investigating a debt that is 10, 12, 15 or so years old; they'll name some bank you've never heard of, or a credit card you've never heard of. They'll have just enough information about you to make you nervous and they'll be phishing to find out more information. They'll tell you that the debt is some ridiculous amount -- let's say $10,200 for an example -- but if you're willing to pay today, they'll reduce it to, for example, $650. But they can't give you an address. Instead, they will ask for your bank account or credit card number. They'll tell you that if you don't settle on the phone with them that moment, a sheriff will appear at your door within 48 hours to arrest you. NONE OF THIS IS TRUE. Complaints have been filed to the AG of OH, MD, TX, NY, and IL, as well as to the FTC, FCC, and the FBI (as they are trying to illegally extort money over the phone). They often target the elderly and infirm. Do not speak with them, and save whatever messages they leave on your phone. If you get a phone call, file a complaint online with the following organizations:http://www.oag.state.md.us/Consumer/complaint.htmhttps://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=enhttp://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htmas well as the Attorney General of your own state. Remember: whether the debt is yours or not, you should not be dealing with these people. They are not a legitimate organization.PLEASE -- file a report. You were smart and savvy enough to do research on this number; not everyone is that lucky. REPORT THEM!!!
I received the same call today. Wanted to settle a 2003 debt. Told him to serve me, because there is no debt. Has anyone been served?
Elderly Lady received a call from a fast talking man, Marcelo Stavy who claimed that he respresented a Litigation Consultant Services and said they have three suites a***nst her. I am sure it is an attempt to hit her up for some money.
Received a call informing me of a case a***nst me with another number to call. Interestingly the number to call is a number already listed on this site.http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-240-235-4129
