- Richmond, VA, USA • Apr 21, 2025

I was contacted by an apparent debt collector that threatened a process server. They also called my job. I called them back. Them man on the phone who didn't provide any information to me, was very rude, refused to let me speak to a supervisor, told me that I must use an urban dictionary to find the word "supervisory" as it isnt a real word. I asked what was the collection for, he gave me information on a debt that I am not responsible for. He replied the debt was from 2015. When I asked for information on payment arrangements for this $800 debt he told me he couldn't do any payment arrangements and if I decided to go to court I would have to pay $3000. I asked again to speak with a supervisor he replied he could do a payment arrangement for $300/mth. As I continued to request a supervisor, he finally disconnected to call after insulting me a number of times. I tried to call back and the number was inactive or "the number you dialed does not exist." I called the same number from a different phone. A lady answered and I immediately asked for a supervisor and she transferred me back to the same man that I initially talked to. He immediately disconnected the call. I tried to call back and the number was inactive. I called a third time in which a different male answered the phone and proceeded to call me ghetto and he disconnected the call and I was unable to call back. This group of people were able to provide me with my last 4 of my social, my DOB and a past address.

I have been receiving calls from a company identifying themselves as Milner and Associates. They say I have an unpaid bill with Walmart and will be sending me a summons. Because I know that I do not, I told them to "Bring it on" This is clearly a scam, and they are so pathetic. The number is 888-827-2101

- Simpsonville, SC, USA • Apr 16, 2025

Hoffstein & Associates pretended to be a debt collector for citi bank. They had all of my information my SSN, date of birth, my address and even my mortgage company. Which said they “we will be putting a lien on to collect the debt”. They said that they made multiple attempts to contact me via mail and this was the last attempt. We went back and forth for a while on a payment arrangement every payment plan I would suggest I could do they would reject it. Finally the lady go me on the phone with her so called payment processing department. Which took an initial $329.97 and I would have payments for the next 19 months for $315 until it was paid off. A month later yesterday I looked all day to see when they would debit that amount. Around 3:45pm est on 4/15/2025. I called several times to multiple numbers that were given but no response and still no even today. Please be aware! I’m in my 30’s you don’t have to be old to be a victim.

- Greensburg, PA, USA

Rockwell Legal, called me about two weeks ago. They left me a message and said: they were going to serve me, and I needed 2 forms of Identification to be served. They said it was an “urgent legal matter”. Or I could call them to settle this legal matter. I ignored the call, and blocked them. I know for a fact, I owe nobody any money. I pay my bills, on time. Since then, I’ve got time several suspicious calls, and they left no message. I keep blocking the numbers. Yesterday, I received another phone message from Rockwell Legal. This time, it was a recorded message, and did not identify themselves. I looked the number up on the internet. They insisted I must call them to settle a “legal matter”. I’m concerned because these people have my name and phone number. And, I do know enough to know, if there were any valid claims against me… (and there are not) a credible collections agency would contact me by mail with details, and not by phone. I would appreciate it if law enforcement would be notified about this scammer, Rockwell legal, and these shady practices by this company. Thank you.

- Washington, DC, USA

Received a call from 951-281-0485 re file #_________. Female answered didn't identify company, had to ask for the name, she said Franklin, Jones & Morgan Lawyers she also said FJM Associates. She also refused to give me her name. She had my address and said I owed a bill and civil charges had been placed against me, that I had been being investigated and I could pay them or go to court. When I ask her for an address from the location she was calling from she hung up.

- Washington, DC, USA

I walked in my mother giving this company her credit card information. She told me that this company is going to garnish my pay check so she wanted to help the $976.33 today. They was doing this without me or her signing any agreements and the credit card company kept blocking them from taking the funds. That was big red flags for me. No money was lost because the credit card company intervened.

- Pittston, PA, USA

Continued called stating they are filing a civil lawsuit for an unpaid debt. Called and confirmed with Discover that I do not owe this debt.

- Front Royal, VA, USA

The scammer called me on my personal cellphone twice in one day. The first time I didn't answer. The next time I did. They said they was from a collection agency and asked to speak with Tiffany Nicholson. That's not even my name it's my sister's name and my cellphone is registered in my name through the government.
