(888) 633-2142

I'm glad I did a google search on SB investigations before calling them back. They have been calling my cell everyday leaving messages stating that it's very important that they speak with me regarding a bank fraud. I became nervous, I thought maybe some used my information for so****ing .... But, after reading all the comments I know its someone calling regarding a debt. I never answer 800#, unknown or 000000. I check my voice mail and its always calls from SB Investigations Officer Banks from phone# 1800-708-1057. if they continue to contact you by phone and do not receive a response, then you should receive a letter from the company you owe the debt.

Today a woman by the name of "investigator Ramsey"  of the "fraud unit of SB Investigations" called my cell. She left a voice mail  asking  family info.  She  left her callback number of 800-417-0587, ext 1974 and said it was a matter of "urgency" in an ongoing fraud case.   On my cell phone screen, her end  was id'ed by  a local cell number which I discovered  belongs to a  local woman named Rhonda.   This Rhonda is innocent and has no idea that her phone was hacked, but it was, by  SB Investigations.  I do not answer my cell if I do not recognize an incoming number. It goes to voice mail.  So now I have a voice mail from some "investigator Ramsey" which will be of interest to my attorney should these grease***** call a***n.    ***** them.

I have also experienced calls from this number and a man called 'Scott Lynch' asking me for $4000 or else I would be sent to jail. My story is very similar to 'llana's' story. I asked which company he was from but he said it was confidential but I was registered with them. I then asked how can it be confidential but I am registered with them he got angry and I proceeded to put the phone down on him. He calls me half an hour later with the same storybut I said if he doesn't stop I will call the cops and put the phone down on him. I will ring my phone company tomorrow to try and bar this call.

Today I received a very scary phone message, and thank goodness I had the wherewithal to check the internet before returning the call.  I found this web page and read all of the comments.  I too, received a very similar message from phone # 8665343734.  I will not be returning their phone call.  I am a school teacher with two part time jobs and pay all of my debts monthly.  I can****ure you, the doctors will still be able to have their golf date.  Not to be sarcastic, but I do pay monthly as much as I can.  We need to look at the bigger picture, since no one has offered to bail me out.draft

I have recieved calls from SB also. I was going through some tough times and was late on all my motorcycle payments. The bank had been calling me, repo men were calling me, Mr Womack was calling me ect... I was hiding my motorcycle with a friend. Womack told me to give up my motorcycle or pay the ballance off or they would proceed with legal actions.   I did not pay nor did I give up my motorcycle. I had repo men at my door every night, calls from Womack 2-4 times a week, letters from the bank, demand letters from lawyers etc. This went on for a couple months till a sheriff showed up at my door with a signed letter from a JUDGE demanding me to give them my motorcycle. I did not have my motorcycle at that time, it was with a friend. The sheriff took me to the station until my friend got home from work and was able to bring the motorcycle to the sheriff dept. The bank is now charging me almost $3000 for Investigator fees, lawyer fees etc. These guys are no joke! What I was doing was wrong. I just wanted to keep my bike. I spoke to a lawyer about this. He said "they can call and knock on my door as long as they have a reason to. Bottom line here.... Pay your bill or give it back, its not yours." I learned my lesson. Dont let this be you.

I have also received phone calls from Investigator Womack from a phone number in MY OWN PHONE-MY MOTHER'S NUMBER. When I called her house to see if anyone was there with her...her answer was no. He has also called on a number of my phone except digits reversed.  He also threatened legal proceedings and told me the original company who owned the debt did not want to speak to me.  He called a***n....this time I let go to voicemail with a call back number of 8004423698 ext 1032983.

I also received a call, or shall I say my mother received a call from "Investigator Ramsey" claiming it was fraud investigation.  The number used was 800-417-0587.  Fear tactics are not allowed / threats of jail time or arrests - all illegal tactics.....

I got a call from SM Investigations looking for someone else I knew.  They stated they got my name from a listed reference to a job application the person they were looking for submitted years ago.  Interesting part, the phone number SB Investigations called me on would NOT have been the number listed under the job application. Soooooooooooo how did they get my number?I knew there was so****ing fishy about this call. The person they were looking for I have not heard from in several years (about 2).  I couldnt give them anything. I was annoyed that they were contacting me trying to find this person.  Why would I give a complete stranger information without some form of proof on who they are.  I mean really, come one. If you are really looking for someone, send a letter with proof that can be verified on who you are, its only professional (I wont mention legality, I am not a lawyer).I will say the person was nice and professional on the phone.  I did not have a bully experience that others have mentions here.  I would find myself the exception I believe.

Anyone can look up the Fair Debt Collections laws in your given state and by saying they're "Investigators" misrepresents who they are, which, is illegal in debt collections. It makes people think they're the police. You cannot be jailed for having debts. Anyone who says so is trying to scare people into paying. That is also illegal.Bad things happen to good people sometimes and so Sarah Mitchell (who I****ume works for SB Investigations) yes, having debt ac***ulate is on the person who owes it, but following the law as a collector is on the person trying to collect. Take some responsibility for the illegal activities of your co-workers. Debtors can't be hauled off to jail (as your investigators have said.) But...your collectors can be fined and punished for illegal collections practices.I got a call today from "Investigator Sherry Nelson" stating a file was placed in her office for "bank fraud." I have no idea what she's calling me for, but I'll be sure to pass on her voicemails to the attorney general's office for review :)

Mine said he was Investigator Womack, (but the call ID had my phone number but one digit off)  He said the calls are scrambled going out of there and that he was trying to help my X-husband because someone might be using his credit - total BS.  He gave me a call back number of 800-442-3698 ext 1023879

you are wrong and and shortly i will post what they are doing wrong and this will all be coming from myself and lawyer     with a very nice lawsuit that is making me very happy

SB INVESTIGATIONS ALSO USES NUMBER 1-800-469-1596 X 1021550.  FEMALE WITH THE NAME OF LAYMAN, ALSO USES LOCAL NEW HAMPSHIRE NUMBERS 603 487 5978 AND 603 487 5344.  SHE WORKS FOR GMAC LOCATING THEIR VEHICLES DOING THEIR ***** WORK.HER, THEIR "SB INVESTIGATIONS" ****ODS ARE UNLAWFUL UNDER NEW HAMPSHIRE LAW.  CONTACT YOUR ATTORNEY GENERAL OR YOUR LOCAL FBI OFFICE AND REPORT THEIR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.CHECK OUT THEIR WEB PAGE UNDER SB INVESTIGATION, BOTH THEIR TELEPHONE NUMBERS ARE EXPIRED.  LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE FBI ARE INVESTIGATING THEIR CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES.

To Sarah Mitchell & Mr. X it seem as if maybe you work for or have a relationship with this company, as indicated by your post. So here is my "REAL" name and these people are infact defrauding people by the ****ods and tactics in the manner that they are going about contacting people and insisting they get there way. I have yet to talk to ANY creditor who will not talk to you about your debt to them. The fact is these s*** bag minium wage low life's are paid a commission on the amount they collect and they are trained in ways to get a rise out of you to get money. As I do agree about find a way to resolve your debt's and do the right thing, I absolutly disagree with the lie's and scare tactic in attempt to collect. Life is ******* a lot of us right now. Some people have legitimate cause and others are dead beats! It is what it is! So dont slam the good one's and try to excuse the actions of these idiot's! It's very insulting!

I also received a call from Scott Lynch, saying he was an investigator and that he worked for SB Investigations.  He was very nice to me and at first I did not believe him, but after talking with him he expained alot to me.  I also did some research to see if he was legit.  I called the financial company who financed my loan, and Scott was right, they would not talk to me.  They transferred me right back to an investigations firm, where I was then put back in touch with Scott.  I read some of the stuff that was written and it does not sound like the person I talked to.  I think some of you people are embellishing.  If you really think about it, we all brought this on ourselves by not taking care of our responsibilties.  We can blame our problems on Scott Lynch and play the victim, but we all know it is our own fault.  That seems to be the problem with this country now days...everyone is looking for a handout, and everyone is the victim.  Woe is us!  I am guilty of it too, but if we all just did the right thing then there would be no jobs for people like Scott Lynch.  I have also noticed that not one person who posted a comment here put their real name.  Seems funny to me.

Why would anyone with half a ***in give this man their money when they don't know who he is and if he even legally represents any financial ins***ution?  This Scott Lynch needs to be lynched.  He is a scammer out to get money off people trying to make them believe he is going to arrest them and harrasing their children.  Give me a break what a ***** he is.  REPORT HIM to every official you can.  If he were legitimate he would have to send a letter first of all.  He would have to identify the company information including address.  He cannot just randomly call people and say pay me or go to jail...who made him GOD!!

This Scott Lynch is saying and doing a lot illegally.  If he were a 'real' so called 'detective' or investigator with any 'law background' and 'intelligence' he would know the law.  He would know he cannot harrass others, especially children/family members/neighbors/friends, etc. who have nothing to do with another persons debt.  I filed a formal complaint a***nst him with the FTC and I would encourage all of you to do likewise.  He is a 'bill collector' pretending to be someone and so****ing he isn't.

This number is really causing a lot of upset for me and my family. The first call I got from this number was last Sa****ay at 10am. He said his name was "Scott Lynch" and as soon as I answered, he erupted into a s***ch about me owing $50,000 to a company and If I didn't pay HIM the money, I'd be sent to jail with immediate effect. I specifically told him that I am an educated woman and will not fall for such scams. He became VERY aggressive, would not let me speak without interrupting and demanded that I give him my bank details there and then. I then ***g up. However, he called me an hour later and threatened me with jail once more. I asked him what company he was representing, and he told me that it was "confidential". How on earth it can be confidential when I'm supposed to be an involved party is utterly crazy to me. I told him that I would report him to the police for fraud, and he said he has my son and my daughter's mobile numbers and would contact them if payment was not received. My son and daughter are 12 and 15 respectively and have been receiving calls from this same number. They are in school, are getting *****ed by the silent calls from this number and I am not happy at all. I am on the DNC list and I have reported this to them. I have also reported it to the police for fraudm stalking and harassment as he asked my daughter what school she went to, which in my view, is completely un-acceptable. I urge everyone to do the same. These scammers should NOT be allowed to proceed with this outrageous behaviour.

Scott Lynch contacted me also.  He threatened me with a federal felony and prison.  He also told me I could not contact the actual debt collector because they didn't want to talk to me.  That is illegal in itself.  Credit companies cannot refuse to discuss your case with them.  He even threatened to go after my son, who has nothing to do with the debt.

I actually just had  a very interesting phone call with them.  They call themselves SB Investigations and won't give out any identification as to their location.  I spoke with an Investigator by the name of Scott Lynch who tried to be very dominating in the conversation.  He had called my mother and said horrible things to her which she has recorded.  Be sure to record all conversations with this group.  They tell you they are bringing federal charges a***nst you yet they are operating without the proper license necessary to be calling himself an "investigator". He said they deal with bad debts i.e.,unpaid car loans, credit cards and so on.  He had legitimate information on me but his tactics are illegal.  If you or someone you know has any outstanding debts that they are trying to collect on, keep your conversation short, taped if possible, and don't let them bully you.  You have rights under the "Fair Debt Collection Practices Act".  Good luck

Said it was a detective so****ing bout bank fraudbut cant find listing for number
