i got a call that i had committed wire fraud back in 2014 by union bank and that i owed 3,200.00 and they gave me a case number. she further claimed they were getting ready to file it with kern county court. i told her i did not do such a thing and that she needed to further give me more information besides her word only. she said i needed to pay it over phone and i told her no. i told her take me to court at least there i would be able to get proof of exactly what i was being charged with. i believe this has not been the first time ive been contacted of such a lie. i believe it is a person asking for a credit card she does have my last of ssa number

They have called my family and now myself. I talked to someone who told me that I had a felony fraudulent check charge drawn from a checking account from a credit union that I closed in 2007. Supposedly this check was written on April 23, 2013. They wanted to settle to keep me from going to court. They asked me how much I could settle for and I gave them a small number – much smaller than the over $1,000 they were telling me was owed. They put me on hold and after awhile I hung up and immediately called the credit union who verified that I had closed the account in 2007 and that I did not owe them anything. In fact, they had 2 other employees call me back to insure me that I was "clear". The last call came from a manager in the financial division of the credit union and he laughed and told me the same caller got in touch with him just a couple of weeks prior. These crazies have to be stopped.

Thank you.

Message left by "David Smith."  When I called back I was told that I owed money for a PayDay loan in 2013 and that the check was sent back as insufficient funds. I was told that I am going to go to jail and be fined up to $3000. The bank that this company told me the check was written from is a bank that I have not used for over 10 years. They could not/would not give me any details regarding the actual dates, the name of the payday loan company, etc. When I questioned the fact that it might be stolen identity, they told me I could go to court but that if the check was mine, I would be thrown in jail that day. They told me that they would drop everything if I paid some of it today, but the offer was only good today.

Total money lost $100

Type of a scam Debt Collections

A lady called and said in 2010 I took out a Payday loan for $450 and the loan was never paid back and not there is a civil suit for $4000 that needs to be paid or the case will go to court and I will go to jail. First of all I have never taken out a Payday loan in my life but she made it all sound real. She said the client would settle for $746. I am so scared I don’t know if it is real or a scam.

Person named David Smith called and gave a case number CR404845. Called back and the name they used was from before I was divorced. Asked for information regarding the matter. A woman (who answered all times I have called) said that I needed to verify my social security number. Told her i work with a CPA and see tax fraud all the time so no. Asked for another form of verification and she said "If you go to court good luck" and hung up. I called again and was told by the same woman, without missing a beat. We can’t talk to you if you won’t verify your social. Said again, I work for a CPA and yes you can with other information. She hung up again. Definitely a fraud.

I was called at 2:30 pm today, February 20th and a voice message was left on my cell phone for a Timothy Ward from a Cointy Mediation, David Smith case # Dr 14427 1

I called 6 times to let this company know that the above person Timothy Ward was not his number. The ending of the voicemail they left it said that he had been contacted.

I called them back because I wanted to let them know that they needed to find a different means of contact because they had the wrong number. They were very rude hung, up on me 6 times. I tried to get to the person David Smith to let him know that this wasn’t Timothy Ward’s phone number. I’ve had identity theft before and I’m taking precautions on a person calling me at a wrong number. If this was a true business they wouldn’t have hung up on me.

I am taking precautions for myself and it’s harassment. Very poor customers service and RUDE!

Company called my husband with a recorded call asking for me by my maiden name. Said they were going to take me to court if I didn’t respond today. I went ahead and called back to see what it is in regards to. I spoke with Alvin who said I had called County Mediation and they were attempting to mediate my debt with Titan Group for a $450 payday loan taken out in December 2012. I told him that I didn’t know of any such debt and had not taken out any payday loans and would like to see further documentation. He said that it had already been sent to me and that if I was not willing to pay $4,852 today that they would take me to court for that plus a $2,500 court fee. I again stated that the debt was not mine and I would like proof. He just kept saying they’d take me to court since that’s what I wanted to do. I told him that the statute of limitations had passed if this debt was from December 2012 and he hung up on me.

My parents continually receive pre-recorded calls stating that they are looking for me for a legal matter. They have started just allowing them to go to voicemail. They received one on Friday March 10, 2017 and gave them a case number. I called the number. The first time I called, the woman stated that she was from County Mediators. I asked for the address of the business. She told me, "Oh no, I control these calls." I informed her of the Fair Debt Collection Act and she hung up. I called again. A gentleman answered. He said that, "This was for a debt and I was going to jail." I informed him that you can’t put people in jail for a debt and that I was reporting them to the police. He hung up. I called a third time. The woman stated the matter was for something fraudulent, but would not relay anything. Then, she stated that it was for a debt. When I informed her that you can’t put someone in jail for a debt. Then, she stated it was a legal matter. They are very uneducated and rude.

They called again today. A pre-recorded message is played. It states this is Steve Anderson calling about a legal matter for me. They state to hold on the line or to contact them to resolve it or settle it or call back at 844-713-3461 with the case number they provide you.

I have contacted the police, but this is ridiculous.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

A woman called me from a private #. She said she had Allegations against me. She gave me a # to call and a case #. The #844-826-4021. The case #76583. When I called they had a bogus loan from 2011 that they said was not paid. Scam. I told them to Cease and Desist but the man who answered kept on talking after I asked for the Cease. They have my personal info. I want a complaint as they were unwilling to make full verification of their business or where they were from.
