Leave a CommentCall left on answering ma****e from a Jack DuPree (?) on Fri Aug 29th. Calling a Richard ??????? (not me or anyone I know) and said that he was Jack DuPree (sp?), a civil claims investigator and the Richard was named as a party in claim number HBR17??. The claim was throughly investigated and that [Richard] needed to call him at 240-235-5615 before 48 hrs or the claim would be filed in ??? County Court and a warrant would be issued for [Richard's] arrest.Now this message was left on Fri morning of the Labor Day weekend, so there was no way that it could be answered and/or filed within 48 hrs.
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 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.
I received a call from this number and they said they were Litigation Consultant Services. They called themselves "special agents". They also threatened to send the marshall with papers. I told them to go right ahead. Nothing happened. I contacted the FBI and was informed these are scam artists. Don't give them any info. I spoke to a guy calling himself Jackie Dupree and a woman who called herself Special Agent Phylicia Campell. I called 411 and asked who the number belonged to and they said it is either a cell or pay phone. I'm guessing it's a cell. They come up as being in Maryland but let's face it they are really somewhere else. Probably in South America or so****ing. Don't give them any info. they are low life scammers.
Same here....owe money, credit card, yadda yadda yadda. Was told I would be served and that I was not to have any large dogs or weapons in my home...so much for civil rights.I've emailed the DOJ and the Maryland Attorney General's Office. Unfortunately, I do not beleive I will have the chance to interact with these folks personally, ***mer. Concerning, though, they had my ssn, address, etc...they are making rules to a game they really do not want to play.Contact FEDERAL Authorities, File Complaints, and if they are for real, well, we'll handle our business HOWEVER if they are truly scammers, then we really need to handle business. Names: Daniel Hoffman, Nick Bryson, Marcelles ***dley, and "Callahan"Phones Numbers: (240)-483-4601 OR (240)-696-8255
I just received a call from 240 235 5615, the lady was super rude and told me to call another number because Im in a lawsuit. I called the number she gave me 240 235 5615 and the man said we are being sued civilly for a breech of contract with a check-n-go. We have never ever been to one of those places and he kept asking me why. My husband got on the phone and siad some choice words to him.ITS A SCAM!! DONT GIVE ANY INFORMATION!!
The lady called my home number left me a message saying, " My name is Patrica Linch I am a special Investigator you have a civle complaint a***nst you, you need to call my office at 240-235- 2515." Is she for real??? Wait whats the company's name... This cant be real, So I then looked up the number and saw the first two complaints... Now I know people really are sneaky!!! Dang...
Received a call from a special agent Patricia Rich claiming a civil suit would be filed in my county and gave me a case number the case number is actually their identification number for my account. It was on a capital one account.....I have never owned a capital one account.
Filed a complaint with the MD attorney general. I doubt anything will be done.
Got a scam call from special investigator John Williams saying a civil complaint had been filed a***nst me and I had to call this number and speak with so and so. At first it s****led me, then I realized police don't call for civil matters. So I said what agency do you work for and he replied, we can't give any info out but you have to call so and so. Then I laughed and told him, 'oh your a flunky for a collection agency'. And he got indignant. So I call him Special Agent Flunky!!
Rec'd the same type of call from Dennis Bell. Definetly a scam with the threat of a lawsuit. Wanted to confirn a SS number. I would guess the have bought very old bad debts that have been written of by the banks and will go as low as need be to collect so****ing. Sooner or later these weasels will be outed.
Got a voice mail message on April 22 and returned it; Special Investigator Bell told me that Citibank had filed a civil complaint a***nst me for "theft of goods and services" from an account with my name (and correct last four digits of my social security number) that was open from 1992 to 1995. Only the Citibank account my husband had at the time was paid off in 2000 and it was in his name and not mine. Bell said I would be summoned but also gave me the option to pay it off--$1,148.98--and said an offer had been made to reduce it in November (of course never heard this before).
i got a call from this number saying a civil complaint was filed a***nst me i have no idea what its about and i get a dennis bell voice mail and thats not who called
I just received a call myself and have no idea what it's about.The person that called said they were a private investagtor and that a complaint had been filed a***nst me and that I must appear in court.The person that left me a message used the name Keith ***ter. I tried to call back and got the voice mail of Dennis Bell and Daniel Hoffman.
This is a scam company. They use to be North American****ett Investigation Bureau then they were More Star LLC and now they claim to be Litigation Consuting Services. Daniel Hoffman goes by at least three or four different names. I think its only 4 to 5 people who work here, This is a residential phone.
I returned their phone calls and have spoken with many different names, here they are John Stern, Peter ***ter, Daniel Hoffman, Bob Young, Dennis Bell and none of them will give me any information about who they work for. This was a month ago and they threatened to send papers to our house if we did not speak with them about this debt that we know we paid off 4 years ago. It is a scam and if anyone can get them to talk...we need to know who it is they are working for...their corporate identify.Anna
Left a message: "I'm calling because of a civil complaint and criminal charges have been filed a***nst you". Is this for real?
