Just received a call from a Private number claiming they are a courier for Oceanview Group and she provided a number to call and a claim number. They call my number and asked for my husband by name. I did a search and found this site. We will not be calling the number given by the “courier service” 951 269 4435 Case 21939
This is so discouraging to us.
Called and left me a message saying they were trying to look for my mother and are calling me and her place of work (she doesn’t work!) and also left her a message saying someone would be dropping off documents and suing and putting a lien on her house and car. I didn’t even call back and immediately called my Mom saying don’t respond and hang up. Major scam and really scary. They should all be arrested and threatened! Look up their # and tell them we know it’s a scam!
A woman called on a private number. She gave me a case number and a phone number to call Justin Taylor at 951-269-4435. I called and he said I owed $3173.93 but if paid now it’ll be $1603.73 but since the coronavirus pandimic is going on I could settle at $700. He also said they could come get my car, take my savings or some of my pay check if I don’t pay. Also they said I was going to get served by a cop of the court date. Thing building address did not show Ocean view group on Google maps as a collection agency. The number was ocean view group that I looked up because when I called another lady answered and transferred me back to Justin Taylors line (505) and he picked up. Great scam.
Same experience as you all stated.. I got a call saying i owe Huntington bank $348.66 but now it’s $1607.73 for attorney fees & court cost. He said the Account was opened in 2006… Had last 4 of my social said i was going to be served at home or my job.
Called from 951-269-4435 # A woman answered then transferred me over to a man. He then placed me on hold saying an Attorney is contacting him. I hung up.
Just got a call from a private number that asked me to call a 951-269-4435 number. Gave me a case number without really giving me any info about who they were or what the case number was about. I call the number Oceanview group answered. I am smart I clearly know its a scammer. I am going to call back and play on there phone! 😋
I had the same experience as above. My call came from Leonardo Fox who is a bonded courier. I need to respond today in order to avoid having a field investigator come to my property address and place of employment on record. When I called the number back, Mr. Taylor informed me he was with the claims and arbitration department at the Ocean View Group but declined to give me his address. He got a little nervous when I informed him I was reporting him to the FTC so he told me I could google the address. Ocean View Group is a food production company and Oceanview group is manufacturing company that drills oil and gas so I’m not sure which one is “coming after me”. These calls are insane. They also called my mother, my father, and my sister.
These people called my husband’s sister and left her a voice mail saying they were a currier service. I called the number they left and they openly gave my all the information saying my husband had owed a debt from an account back in 2009 (that had been paid off). At first the original amount was 2000 then jumped to 6000 dollars. My husband then called the bank where the debt was supposedly from to which they informed him it was more than likely a scam. My husband called the number back and the guy proceeded to lest off all of my husband’s personal information except phone number and correct address. We knew it was a scam so my my husband used all his legal terminology with the guy who then threatened my husband with jail, threatened to open an account in my husbands name, threatened to have to cops show up at our house. We were not intimidated at all and the guy knew it which made him frustrated. 20 min later and the guy finally gave up and hung up on my husband. Watch out for this number and open view group collection because it is 100% a scam.

Oceanview Group contacted my son at work spoke with his office staff and they relayed the message to him (he works route sales) he called them back claimed we had been named in a lawsuit involving Huntington Bank and unpaid fees. They were rude and demanding, told him they knew where I lived and were going to take my house if I did not pay. He did not know what was going on, but was smart enough not to give them any information. He then spoke with me and I told him I owed nothing I knew of. We decided it was a scam.
The following day (today) they called him back and took another tactic being very nice and answering his questions. They did have my address, they claimed to have my # but never called me? They had some incorrect family members. They did give him court case # and their # 951-257-1005. They did not pressure him for money just trying to scare me through him, Said I owed $716 if it went to court would be over $2100. My son again being a smart young man did not buy into their scheme and just collected the information, told them he would see them in court.
We then found this scam alert. I hope other people do not fall for this and lose their money to these amateur scammers. Thanks for the good quick work in getting this out there.

Caller first called yesterday from restricted number stating document courier services, confirming I would be home to receive a summons. Could not confirm address it was being sent to just sent to the state I’m in now. When questioned gave me the 951 phone number. I Called them and they said I had a debt from US bank. Rattled off all my personal information such as address, last 4 social, drivers license etc. Claiming they were the oceanview group, an arbitration group calling to advise of court proceedings if I refused to pay a debt. Individual got very nasty with me and after I told him I did my research and they do not exist, he stated he didnt have to prove who he was, they dont need a website, etc. And if I didnt want to go through arbitration they would see me in court.
Gave me number to us bank (which was valid after research). I called them and they had zero record. Spoke to an attorney who advised it was a scam and to not give them any information and report to BBB.
Recieved another call today from a restricted number from document courier services with the same spiel of making sure I’m home when a sherriff shows up friday to serve me my summons. She was extremely rude when I attempted to validate information, said the envelope is sealed and she cant tell me what it’s for or confirm the address because the envelope was sealed, and said it didnt matter where she was shes in a call center. Said to be home or I would be charged for something like hiding or avoiding the summons.

I was contacted by phone regarding an overdraft bank account at Wells Fargo from 10 years ago. This person knew the last 4 digits of my social security, my previous addresses, and location where I work. They told me , because of the covid-19 they can decrease the amount from $3000 to $1168 one full payment. I provided my email address and I was emailed a letter asking me to electronically sign and to provide my debit card number. There is no address or website available. I did research the name of the company and I wasn’t able to find it.

I got a call from Derek Alexander of Oceanview Group, Ontario, CA 951-260-2287, saying my son owes $6000 of interest that accured over 16 years. They reduced the payment to $1600. If we didn’t pay we would be taken to court. I gave them my credit card and electronic signature. I called back and a woman answered, I asked to talk to Derek, when he came on the line, he sounded like he was driving in a car. Then I called my bank and canceled the card. They are going to try to take the money out today.
