Chase Edwards is calling my family members threatening them with legal action. Called the exact number back, its a call center. Asked to for the company name all they said was National, asked for a state they refused to answer. They claimed not to know the employee. Asked for a manager none available. If you called my number why didn't they information pop up. I called back a couple times asking for the company information and the employees kept hanging up on me.

A man initially called us (from a private line) stating that he is a processor, but we hung up on him. He then called back and identified himself as "Brian Archoleta," and left a voicemail stating he is a processor with Montgomery County STP and that there is a lien against our house. He then proceeded to state that the calls are the final 2 attempts to reach us about said lien against our property. He gave us a phone number (855-664-8602) for the issuing firm of the "lien" and a bogus case number. We, of course, become scared but we also knew that we don't have any liens nor any debt because we are a debt-free household. So, we immediately, went online to our county and state's court website to look up the case number and our property information to see if there were any liens at all. Needless to say, there was nothing in the public records. I also googled the phone number and immediately the search results yielded multiple info about phishing scams such as these. Sadly, it is now all too common, and these scammers make it sound so scary and realistic that many people would otherwise believe them and just give out more of their personal information. Luckily, we don't fall for these very easily, but others might not be so lucky. So, we just wanted to put our personal experience out there to make more people aware of this and hopefully they don't fall for it.

The number left a voicemail indicating they were calling from a legal department for litigation. They asked to return the call to 8889854323. This related to an aged credit card account that was in collections and had been paid off. We have proof this account was satisfied in full with the original lender, we have confirmation relating to this. This new company states the charges are 1075.00 and they intend to pursue litigation for this amount. They indicated they would mark this as refusing to pay and would see us in 30 days in court. We disconnected the line. The caller called back from 4707880548. It was a lady and a younger sounding male. She states she is with a Litigation, Mediation, Arbitration company and would be marking this as refusal to pay. She wished us luck in court and made threats we would be out of pocket a lot more money. She verbally threatened our family indicating this would cause us a financial hardship. She continued to harass me, advising she would press charges against us and seek the full penalties if we didn't pay.

Someone from GFS 866 981 6211 just tried calling me with a case number. Claiming I owe $4000 to EZ Loan Payday loan for $4,000 back in 2012. Well, here is the funny thing, I wasn't even working back then and was still in college. They claimed to have made multiple attempts to reach me but to no avail. GFS Legal Services is the name that they go by. I do not owe these people any money, and I'm looking forward to them trying to serve me. Complete Scam. I hope these scums of the universe get a taste of karma for targeting innocent people. They know the last 4 of your social and full name. I'm sure they can do skip tracing to find out other contact information about anyone. PLEASE BEWARE OF THESE SCUMS !!!!!

Received a phone call from Hoffman & Associates (888-292-2544) claiming me & my husband owed a credit card debt from Bank of America in 2013. That a bank levy was going to be filed if they could not deliver the information by the end of the week. I added my husband to the phone conversation and the representative became incredibly rude. He stated I already told you what this was about and when my husband tried to answer further questions, he said this is regarding both of you and repeated my SSN. I said that is not what you stated initially, & he said if it wasnt you how would I have your SSN. He wouldnt send us any information and refused to answer any further questions and finally hung up on us. We have never had a credit card or bank account with Bank of America. Everyone, please be careful as this is very alarming!

I got a phone call from this number, claiming that a "process server" was trying to serve me, (claimed they had been at my address several times), but were unable to attain my signature. A 866-650-4406 phone number was given for me to contact, along with a reference number. The weird thing is, the only "company name' this individual had was "J.A." Also, someone is pretty much always home at my residence, so I would know if someone were trying to "serve" me.

This company left 2 voice messages to call them back. I called them back. They said I had an outstanding balance from a loan that was not paid. I asked for dates, but they could not provide me with the date. They said when the loan came to them, it was just the name of the company and the amount. The representative stated that if I did not agree to pay my wages would garnished and papers would be served at my house or my employer. This scared me a lot.
