(866) 300-7907

I am so glad I never call these people back until I google the number and do the research.  Thanks for all who posted out there.

Received a call from this number.  Left a message about a "very important business matter" along with a reference number.  Wanted my husband to call back. Never call back 800 numbers without checking them out first.  Have no idea, my husband has no outstanding credit card debt.

bad bad bad idea this is a scam they will take your money and if they sent you the email w/ "legal notices" check them, if it has your ss# on it call the any of the 3 credit buroughs they will monitor your iden***y for 90 days free of charge. DON'T DO IT!!

I received a call from a 613-755-3086 & was told to call Robert Mason to discuss a lawsuit a***nst me. I have received another call from Mr. Mason at 613-755-3086. Have been instructed to call him at various times at 877-309-7617 & 888-628-0025.I finally called them back and the receptionist was rude and would not tell me the name of the company. They did have an old visa account number in their records and had hit up my credit bureau report for collections under the name Paystar International.  They gave me a case number and threatened to sue me that day if I did not make a down payment.  I foolishly did so but then became su****ious when they immediately were willing to lower the "settlement" amount without talking to the credit card company first.  The refused to wait for a cashier's check in the mail - said if I didn't pay them so****ing the very first time I spoke with them, they would file the suit. When I asked for them to send written proof they own the account before paying them anything, they said they would just sue me if I didn't pay so****ing right then.I had an uneasy feeling about the whole thing and googled them and found all these scam claims as well as several lawsuits that have been filed a***nst them for violating the fair debt collections act.I looked up Robert Mason with the New York bar****ociation. There is no Robert Mason practicing law in Melville or ***tington Station, New York. The only Robert Mason licensed to practice law in New York is in New York City.  I called his office and he does not work out of ***tington Station or Melville, nor does he have a 613 area code.These guys are crooks!  Don't fall for it.  I had to cancel the card they took the payment from so they can't take any more money from it.

Paystar AKA Weber and Stevens & Porter and MartinThey use various phone numbers 866-299-8558 & 866-755-1050 and 800-300-7909The people that call use fake names: Joseph Taylor, Lisa Taylor, Lisa Jackson, Lisa Weber, Susan CarterIf you got worried when they called you can quit worrying. They aren't the law. They won't sue. But, save every message EVER from this company.If you talk to them, let them know the conversation is being recorded. And record. Ask to talk to a supervisor, ask for the name of the company and the company address and tell them they are not to call your phone number a***n EVER.Under NO cir***stances should you identify yourself, give out or acknowledge your birthdate or social security number over the phone. NEVER,EVER give out any information about any debts or any other private information.If you tell this company to NEVER CALL YOU A***N and they persist on calling (under various names), contact your state attorney general.A year or so after you've done that, they'll probably call a***n under another name and a new phone numbers. SO KEEP YOUR RECORDED MESSAGES AND CALLS. You will need them to file another complaint. Former Debt Collector with years of doing this to people( I must now repent for all my sins)So please forgive me by NOT PAYING THEM A CENT. They are scammers who are way out of line and totally illegal with what they do.PLEASE REPORT THEM TO YOUR LOCAL STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE

Your Welcome Dana, and please spread the word about these scam artists. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT EVEN PAY A CENT. IF THEY CONVINCE YOU TO PAY EVEN $2.00 DO NOT DO IT, by you paying that $2.00 THAT MEANS that you have AGREED to the False Debt(The Scam) and they have your information from your credit report.They will use that 2.00 payment to haunt u forever. You said they want $600 dollars or so****ing like that, but in a few years your going to get calls about random debts some that are totally made up and no proof . The will call you saying you  owe $12k to this and that and they are willing to let you settle for $7.5k , your going to think "I dont even have a debt for $12k" but according to these scam artists who pull your credit you do have a debt for $12k. File a complaint with the New York Attorney Generals Office. The owner of this company(Pay Star International,aka USR(United Abstract Group)aka Conway and Phillips.

But if I couldn't pay then i'd be taken to court. As you can imagine this really ***med me out, not to mention the stress level - i dont have that kind of money! so****ing didn't seem right with the 'email' they sent.. so i googled!  Thanks google! you saved me some money. I cant believe they can do this. he had my name, birthday and last four of my ssn. so now im not gonna worry about it..the number he called from was 631-755-3087 (diff from email)number i had to call back is 888-622-7267info underneath letterhead- 273 Walt Whitman Rd.

This is the biggest SCAM in the world , do not fall for these bottom feeders who buy really old debts that are out of the statue of limitations and try to collect on them. For Example You once owed $10,000 to a creditor, they buy that debt of $10k for pennies on the dollar so maybe like $80-100 total. Then they go ahead and try to strong arm you with a bunch of illegal practices. Saying that they are going to sue you and put liens a***nst you.Its all some Bull. They say that you owed $10k plus interest and penalties comes out to $15k , but right now they are "willing" to let you go for about $6K. Best thing to do if contacted buy Joseph Taylor, Lisa Taylor, Karen Jensen, Steven Klein or any of these other bozos is to contact the New York Attorney Generals office and file a complaint. This company should be shut down soon. Please do not fall for there BS . I urge you PLEASE do not fall for this SCAM. Oh and by the way "Lindsey" who posted on Feb 19th 2010 also works for them so do not listen to her either.Thank you, Todd Shaw 4 Years as a Debt Collections Manager( Probably going to***** for working there)Thanks,

I actully thought this was a scam and ignored and then it showed up on my credit report. I paid my debt and they removed it right away.

Joseph Taylor called me claiming I needed to call this number in regards to legal proceedings that would be filed on my son (I dont have children?). After a few days of thinking this over and wondering what it was about, but I never called, I googled the phone number, and Wha La! Its a scam. I love google!

they called me from a private number and told me i was being sued i had tickets or someting they could not tell me who or what.and told me to call  1-800-300-7907

I received a phone call stating that they were looking for my sister.  Gave me her name and everything.  They said I was listed as her contact.  Told me she opened a credit card in 2002 and stopped paying on it in 2005.  Well bells s****ed going off in my head because my sister was married with a different last name then.  I told them they could tell me the information and if I *****e to her I would relay the message.  They told me they could take a credit card payment for 65% off what she owed.  If I did not pay it was going to be referred to the district court in Polk County, Iowa. They would put a lein a***nst her and anything she owned.  I told them good luck she doesn't own anything or even have a job.  I told them there was nothing I could do to help her.  I was told she needed to call back by 8:00 pm or they would proceed.  I told them go ahead and good luck.  I then called and asked my sister about this she stated she has never had a Chase credit card.

Called and left a message for someone other than me. They claimed it was "an urgent legal matter" that would be referred to county court if the intended recipient of the call did not contact Karen Jensen or Steven Kline prior to 8:00 PM.

Debt buyers United Abstract Group, Inc., are bottom feeders who use their en***y of C. Barry &****ociates, LLC, who operate out of the same address to lie, intimidate and totally misrepresent their illegal debt collection practices. Owners Barry Cal***na and Anthony Picone are about to feel the wrath of the legal system for their blatant disregard for the law and consumer rights. Not to mention the fact that we could NOT locate one state where they are licensed or bonded in.Calls to their office result in debt collectors who don’t have any answer (they are all operators and not sure if the phones they answer are a law office) to one ***zen gutter ***** who insisted they are the law office of Michael Greenberg who files suits on debts. Their notices violate a host of federal and state laws; their accounts are out of statutes, which show how desperate these fools really are.Take a look below at the incredibly ****** notice they are sending out, see if you can count how many FDCPA violations it has. To say these sewer rats are dumb is an understatement. These folks have NOT a clue of what they are doing; here is what we found on their website:“These are some of the services that we offer:***le Search and Retrieval Real Estate Closings Debt Sales And Acquisitions Charge-off Credit Card Debt Recovery Medical Self Pay/Insurance Claims Recovery Education/Tuition Recovery” “We offer investment opportunities for the serious investor.”If you cannot even send out a letter that is in compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, how in the world can you make money doing what they claim, above? … (I had to keep asking myself…”How could anyone be this dumb?)A SERIOUS INVESTOR would need a LOT of money to pay their legal fees because our impression of these dummies is they can’t do anything right, they have unprofessional and under-trained collectors working for them and who uses this scam anymore?Take a look at what they are sending out from the old, worthless, out of statute portfolios they are desperately trying to collect on because it’s hard to believe that any debt collector is really this ******!              CONSUMER WARNING: DO NOT to fall for this scam!
