firm got busted and shut down by NYS Attorney General's office:http://www.wivb.com/dpp/news/debt_collection_business_shut_down_090623

A man by the name Rick Stanford said he was a investigator.He called from this number looking for my mother. He said he was calling about a claim filed a***nst her through the county she lives in.They gave an affidavit number to call back with.And once my husband gave my mother the number she called them back and the lady was very rude saying my mother owed a debt from 1994 and eventually ***g up on her! This is a scam!!!!!!! Do not give any personal info to these people, we knew this was a scam when the message on the answering ma****e was rude and un professional considering my husband works in collections!

A Marcus Truant called from this number claiming to be with Special Litigation Consultants Services.  He said there was a civil complaint a***nst us and we should call back to settle out of court. We got a case number and called back.  When questioned as to why we were not served papers they said they were trying to keep us out of court. When we would not give personal information they told us we blew our chance and ***g up on us...  Clearly a scam...

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!!!

Someone from this number going by the name of Cameron Price called my mother in laws house looking for my husband. They said that they were a special investigator and needed my husband to contact them within 48 hours or there would be a suit filed a***nst him.My mother in law called the number back and told them that she did not know who they were looking for and never to call her house a***n.Personally I think this is a big scam trying to get personal info.
