Phone number had a female leave a voicemail claiming that I was required to appear at court. Was told to contact 8885443052

- Kent, WA, USA • Jun 26, 2024

This person reached out to my family member to get to me. They had my name, ss#, birthday. Said I owed a bank institution money from 13yrs ago. They said they were sending someone to my house to serve a legal document. They said I owed $1926 including late fees but if I agreed to pay it today they would remove the late fee's and charge me the original amount of $926. On the email they sent me I looked up their 'law firm' and sent a test fax to their fax number and it came back as failed. SCAM! B & B associates / Brock and Bagheri Law firm. Their phone numbers don't even match 951-466-3230, 888-452-6708 and 866-268-4807

Received letter in the mail. It was a bill for $63 for a service that was never issued. The paper does not even specify where or when the service was performed. It was supposedly for anesthesia. Website has no info and is only for making payments. Organization has no verifiable links online. It has, however, several organizations that it can easily be mistaken for. Also, the Paper has no proper address except a PO Box. The sheet includes a second alternate phone number 1 (800) 883 - 7243 that can contacted from 8am to 4:30pm Mon-Friday PST. No contact was made from our part due to the suspicious nature of the paper. They somehow have access to my address and legal name.

- Peoria, AZ, USA • Jun 21, 2024

The scammer says that I owe a medical bill, they say the year that the debt was due, and the amount. But when I ask for any more information, they won’t give it. I called the medical institution that they’re trying to collect for and they verified that I do not owe them anything. But they keep harassing me. They’ve called me multiple times and they text me. When I have called them, they belittle me And then hang up on me. They are argumentative and accusatory and talk over me and bully me and then hang up on me. This has happened probably seven or eight times now.

This man was sending a phony case number to scare me, and making up documents like if he was a court, as well as making unsolicited meetings that we not authorized. Then sending mail to address on file to threaten me, and try to make me feel targeted.

Called my wife, then me regarding a car loan that had been settled about 15 years ago. They told my wife they were trying to serve legal papers, then they called me and left a VM, and a number to call to avoid penalties and fines. I called them back and they said I could go to court, or accept a settlement offer of $6500, or set up a payment plan. I asked them to send me the details about the debt so I could confirm it is legitimate, but all they sent was the settlement offer with no details. I tried to search for the legal firm, and there was no result except for the previous scam report to BBB. I called the number they gave me, and told them I was suspicious and they need to prove the claim, the rep transferred me to a "lawyer". When I asked for an address and website, he literally laughed at me and started calling me names. I told him he confirmed this was a scam, as no professional would treat people that way.

- Glendale, AZ, USA • Apr 30, 2024

said they were a process server and to call 888 672-3451. and they were going to serve legal papers if I didn't call with a ref#. I didn't call but was left another message that I didn't answer. the original call was from an area code around here so I answered due to I'm expecting doctor calls for my mother-in-law. Annoying so I researched the phone# and found it's a scam. They even were asking if I were home to serve me papers.

Scammer called my fiancé and left a very detailed message from the number 888-316-5470 stating that this was a very serious matter that they are trying to serve him paperwork to collect a debt and then listed his full name, our physical address, his last 4 of his social and date of birth. Then stated that this was a very serious matter and that we needed to call them back immediately or they would be going to his employer to serve him paperwork. We immediately contacted them back. It rang twice and a woman answered the phone who was clearly American (no accent and we could fully understand her) stating that she worked for an agency called CDL. She did not ask us any of our information and said that our number is linked with the account for (my fiancés name). I called from my personal cell phone which is registered in my name so she had access to both of our cell phones numbers. At first she was pleasant and explained to us that she works for a collection agency and is trying to collect a debt from him from a Kays Jewelers account that was used from 2011-2013. My fiancé (at the time) did not remember ever opening a credit card through them and we have never gotten any letters in the past 13 years trying to collect this debt from him. She then read us off our physical address, his FULL SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, his date of birth and every address he has lived at since the credit card was opened. I am a educated social worker and about 8 years ago we went through credit counseling together so that we could buy a house. At that time there was never a Kays Jewelers collection on his account and we did this back in 2014/2015. We explained this to her and she proceeded to tell me to contact Kays, gave me the original account number and said that we could call her back and pay her the $827 to settle the debt before they send someone to serve us with court papers to appear in court to settle the debt. I told her that i would do my research and get back to her.

After I did my research, I confirmed that my fiancé did have a debt through Kays jewelers and they were able to tell me the exact items charged, when they were charged and that the debt he owed Kays at the time that they sold the debt was $383. They told me that they originally sold the debt in November of 2013 to a National Credit adjusters. We then googled anything we could about "CDL" debt collection and everything we were reading online was that they were a scam. They had no website, no address, just a phone number. So we decided to ignore it as the debt is currently not on any of his credit reports. I also spoke to our credit counselor about it and since we received nothing in the mail, the debt was over 10 years old, and they were only contacted us through phone we decided to ignore it.

Days later, a random number from our local area of 716-221-3832 contacted me on my personal number (never called my fiancé) so i answered since it was local inquiring about me paying off the debt we discussed earlier in the week as they hadn't heard from us and if we were not going to settle the debt they would be serving us with papers and would be taking us to court. She then told me that i had to contact the number listed prior to discuss payment options with her.

I called back that 888 number and the same woman we initially spoke to answered in 2 rings asking yes is this (my fiancés full name). I said no, this is his fiancé and stated my full name and she said yes and asked if i figured out if it was his debt or not. I proceeded to tell her that i did not (which i did) but wanted to see what she was going to say. She proceeded to basically tell me that my fiancé should know about the debt that he has, and that he is irresponsible and should have taken care of this a long time ago. That i needed to pay this off with them right away or we would be served with court papers and that it would cost us ALOT more money if we wait and go to court because then we would be liable for attorney and court fees and that it would be best for me to just pay it today with her. I then told her that i needed something in writing regarding what we owed and asked her to send us a letter regarding the debt. She told me that they don't do that and that letters were sent years ago but now they will not be sending me a letter and its either i pay the debt or they will be serving me with court. I then told her that nothing she is saying sounds legitimate and i basically called her out on the fact that i thought she was trying to scam us and that unless i get more information i was not going to be paying anything with our debit/credit cards over the phone. She then started getting very defensive and rude with me. I told her that i would be contacting kays and doing my research and calling her back.

I researched what to ask the debt collectors that i thought were scamming me to find out if they were a legitimate company or not. You are supposed to ask what company they work for, their address, phone number, email address and website. If they wont give you that information then most likely it is a scam.

I then called back the 888 number again and it was the girl that called from the 716 number prior. She knew who i was and said that she was trying to pull the assigned worker from a meeting to talk to me about my fiancés case. I then said well maybe you could answer my questions. I just want to know what agency you work for and she responded with CDL. I said ok and do you have an address that you could give me. She said "Ehhhh hang on a second" and proceeded to put me on hold for over a min. The rude woman i previously spoke to then got on the phone and said so did you do your research did you contact Kays? I told her that I did and she asked what i found out. I proceeded to say that i do not feel the need to share that information with you at this time, i am calling because my credit counselor wanted me to call you and ask for your company name address.... She then cut me off and said "No i don’t have to deal with this, he will be getting served papers we will see you in court and hung up on me". Making it very clear to me that it was a scam.

My fiancé was a little scared and wanted to call back just to ensure that it was a scam. We called back the same number that we received the initial phone call from. It rang for a very long time and this time I recorded the entire interaction. The phone was finally answered by a male this time who pretended he had no idea who we are and continuously kept putting him on hold “looking at the notes made” by the previous people we had spoken to. Keep in mind every other call was made by the same woman who hung up on me. He came back over 10 mins later stating that if we were willing to pay the debt they would stop any paperwork being served so that we didn’t have to go to court and that he had to get approval from their “loss mitigation” department. My fiancé told them that he would be willing to pay them and asked how he would be able to do that. He stated that they ONLY took payment via credit or debit card. He asked if we could get something in writing regarding us making the payment he said that he could. We told him that we wouldn’t be able to pay it today because he didn’t get paid until next week. He stated that was fine and that they would take our card info today and then issue the payment for the date he got paid. My fiancé asked him for his name so that we could call him back after looking over the letter so that we can pay him directly instead of having to deal with another worker. He said his name was “JIM EVANS”. We asked him for his direct extension and he said his extension was 300. We told him then that we would call him back in the morning to pay him once we reviewed the letter. He straight up told us NO. He said I thought you said you wanted to handle this. MY fiancé stated that he did but that he wanted to look it over. He said that we can look it over and call him back in 1 hour, that it shouldn’t even take us an hour but if they don’t hear from us in an hour that they will be serving us with the court paperwork and that we wouldn’t be able to solve it outside of court if we didn’t call him back. We then asked for the company name, phone number, email and website. He stated that the name, address and phone number would be on the letter that he sent us VIA EMAIL. He was rude and then ended the conversation abruptly questioning why we were asking him questions.

After looking at the letter the company’s name is Newport Receivables. When you google that there is no website or legit company information and everything says scam. The address was google mapped and it is a building that says Café on the front and there is nothing listed that they are renting any space from the building. All the phone numbers come up as a scam. AND the name Jim Evans comes up that his is being sewed for stealing a clients money and not paying off her debt which is what he was supposed to do with her money. Due to this, and speaking with our credit counselor we decided to block all numbers that were called and wait to be served with papers if it was legit.

About 5 days after we both got a phone call from a new “spam risk” number out of the Rochester area 585-209-5942 number asking us if we were going to pay they called both of us on our separate phone numbers one right after the other. My fiancé was called first and asked if he was going to pay the debt and he honestly told them to “**** off” and serve him with the paperwork. They then called me and said that my fiancé didn’t seem to want to cooperate with them and asked if I wanted to pay the debt. They proceeded to say that if I don’t they will be serving both of us with court papers. I as well told them to serve me the papers. That was over 5 days ago and we have not been served with any paperwork.
