(678) 648-5476

got a call from the same company.. investigative services this morning stating all the same things i see here.  what makes me a little nervous is that they are saying that this is for a check that was written to a payday loan in AZ.  i live in texas now but dont know the rules for processing fraud checks in az.  does anyone have any info.  or are we pretty sure that this is a fake company???

In reply to my previous message, I have now talked to a relative of mine who works for an "investigative" part of our government and has****ured me that this "company will be looked into" and any/all inappr****** action will and can be taken care of if deemed necessary. They will keep me informed of any development toward this company. This gives my husband and I some hope that there is honesty and some m****es/ethics a**** society as a whole.

My husbands brother received a call from this number wanting to know where he is and how they may contact him over a "check fraud".  My husband is unemployed, has NO checking account or ever signed up for any check service.  We will be contacting our lawyer in the morning to get to the bottom of this. ***ODY should feel threatened by anyone calling and using threatening language of any kind and/or intimadation to get information useful for "their" threats. Be advised to ALL investigative companies/services that the law does frown upon this/these kind of "scare tactics".  The name for this company according to my phone call 1-678-648-5476 ext. 110 to them is "Investigative Services" out of Atlanta, Georgia.  Also, to future and current "customers" of these callers there is a book called "Consumers Action Handbook" and can be obtained for free through www.ConsumerAction.gov.This book provides to consumers seeking information on everything from A to Z.

micheal jackson keeps calling me check fraud heres his number 678-6485476 ext 113

Let me guess x113 is for Michael Jackson (may he rest in peace). This a**hole called me ex-MIL who I haven't talked to in 4 years and told them he was a fed. I called and told him I wasn't verifying a **** thing about myself and he got mad when I told him I called the local FBI and reported him. I'm trying to find a physical address for them. I have 201 17th St Atlanta but I'm still digging.

I don't blame you, because that's how Bob Combs did me, when I told him I don't have no knowledge of this said payday loan and that he needs to send me somthing in writing.....Then b/c he called my ex husband of 10 years grandmother telling lies and violating laws, I called him back and let him have it which resulted in him ****ing up on me.

got a call from them today in regards to a check fraud that someone else did.  Got really obnoxious when I told him I did not believe him.  Very easy to f****er these folks.  Im gonna call and f*** with this ***** all day.  1678-648-5476X113

I would call them and and go along with what they are stating and get any info such as an address then send them a certified letter advising them to cease any and all communication regarding this said check fraud....they are calling me in regards to a payday loan from 2004 per state statues: Statute of limitations bad check in Texas?In: Statutes of Limitations [Edit categories]  Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 12.02 Misdemeanors An indictment or information for any misdemeanor may be presented within two years from the date of the commission of the offense, and not afterward. You can also gooogle return check statues in Tx to get more info....They use these scare tatics to try and reel you in....I don't know what the statues are in any other states but your more than welcome to look it up in TX

So can they file a civil suit in texas a***nst me for a payday loan. I received a call on Friday but, they only provided a case number and stated if I didn't respond they would****ume it was me and file a***nst me. I just checked my messages today and heard this message.

Danni do you have any info on this conmpany such as the adrress and a name besides INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES?  They told me there was nothing they could do to help me, and maybe because I came off a little aggressive with them, because they have not violated fedral and state staues but the fair debt collection act by calling possible relatives which happens to be my ex husband of 10 years grandmother and giving out fraudulent but personal info as to why they are looking for me, but yet telling me they are trying to verify my address which was verified per our itintial converstation.  I have hired a lawyer.

Hi...I haven't been to court yet, but the summons is just a copy of a law suit. I am being charged with check fraud. What i did was hired an attorney to get help with this. He says the reason they are calling it "check fraud" instead of just a bad check is because they are going to claim that in court. They are gonna try to say that I intentionally took the money and had no intentions on repaying it. My attorney says they can't prove it because NO one can determine another persons intent. The investigators say it to scare you into paying it. He says the judge is only gonna make me pay the face value of the check. some states you can sue for up to 3 times the face value. it depends on your state. Only thing for me, its costing me $250 per visit to my attorney...UGH. So my $300 payday loan is costing me over $1500... The sad thing is....This Dian Harris lady could resolve this without court but refuses. My attorney offered a settlement and this b**** refused it. sorry for the language but i hate that fact that this lady is able to make this decision. i know i brushed it off, but its only cause i thought it was a scam. so good luck to you. as far as your case. make them verify your ss#. if its not yours, then obviously its not you. thats the MAIN determining factor for iden***y in financial cases.

I DO COLLECTIONS AS A LIVING AND WE HAVE MANY TOOLS IN ORDER TO DO SKIP TRACING AS A WELL AS CONTACTING POSSIBLE RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS, BECAUSE THE SYSTEM GIVES YOUR CURRENT ADDR AND PHONE NUMBER IF IT IS A PUBLISHED NUMBER..

I got this call today. He didn't leave his last name just said Bob but the rest of the message was the same as the others in these posts.  I've read the other posts here and I have never had a payday loan.  My concern is that if I ignore it as you have that this may happen to me!  What did your court summons say you were being charged with?  Most of the people who have posted here are from TX. I live in NJ and have never lived in TX.  Any information you could provide would be appreciated Danni.  If anyone else has had any follow up after the initial call or message I'd like to know what you've been told.   *One more thing. My last name was put in miscorrectly when we had our phone c****ed over to digital phone through the cable company.  So when I call someone my name comes up miscorrectly on their caller ID.  I'm also****uming that my name is spelled that way in the directory, white pages and anywhere it's listed.  Bob*****ounced my name like it's spelled on caller ID.  Spelled the correct way it's a completely different*****ounciation.  I'm thinking if indeed I'm being charged with check fraud that they would have my real name.  Instead they have my name as it is attached to my phone number.  I don't want to be ****** about this if it's an actual lawsuit but I can't imagine that it could be!  HELP!

I recieved a call from a Bob Combs today and advised that he had a warrant for me for check fraud for a payday loan.  He refused to give me any info and advised that I would have to be picked up by the Sherriff Dept first.  He also called my aunt's husband who I know I would never have used as a refernce and told them everything and even went as far as saying that they have rode by my house... Does anyone have anyinfo regarding this and how I should handle it.

I wish I was as lucky to stay in TX. I live in MI and was served from my county court TODAY. A Diane Harris was calling me, so I decided to research the company as well. Once I read other comments, I just blew them off. So what did I receive AT WORK today? A summons to appear in court!! Gotta be there April 7. I tried to call in and speak with her, but of course she had the "told you so" at***ude. Real Nasty lady. She refused to help. I tried speaking with someone else, but they say she is the ONLY one that can pull my case. A***n, she won't :(

This Investigative Services agency phoned my mother and said I was being sought out for deposit of check fraud and asked her if I was running from the law. They kept putting me on hold saying the attorney was calling. I knew so****ing was up when they began to want to negotiate money and asking for credit card info. They kept telling me that if I did not pay a warrant would be issued for my arrest. My thought was all the way from GA. I phoned an attorney and was advised of the laws in Texas. Don't send out any info to these people, they almost got me. The people that I spoke with with Investigative Services were: Ms. Johnson, Mr. Taylor and a Mr. Golden.

The person that called left a message. i called back and left him a message. I advised that he needed to send me so****ing in writing. He said that it is beyond the phoase of sending out anythin. he will file his report later today and thatis all or ican pay him direct.

Got a call on my voicemail from this number, a man named Bob Combs with Investigative Services.  SAID it involved a deposit of check fraud.  I say they are the frauds. Odd how I cannot find any information on this company, although the number is out of ***mings, GA.  When you call the number it sounds legit, but we all know that scam artists always do. Anyone else with info please post.  I would love to know.

My mother-in-law got the same phone call from Diane Harris. These people are Investigative Services and are trying to collect on a debt from a payday loan. I don't know what state you live in, but here in Texas it is NOT considered check fraud or a bad check. You CANNOT be prosecuted criminally. They say this to scare you into paying them. They are violating debt collection practices by threatening you with this and THEY can be sued. The only thing they can do in Texas is get a judgement a***nst you in civil court and they have a statue of limitations of four years. If they do not file a***nst you in civil court within four years, they can't do a thing. A***n, this is Texas laws. Do some research for your state to find out laws pertaining to you. If you are in Texas, this information comes straight from a debt collector attorney. Hope this helps.

ex-boyfriend got call from woman at this number, 678-648-5476. she told him i used him as a reference and am being investigated for check fraud. what the heck? i never would have used him as a reference and don't even use checks. so confused, hoping to find some info here.
