They said that my parcel is at the depot and requires a $5 charge to get it delivered. Luckily I don't have any online purchases pending at the moment so it makes it easy to realize that it is a scam.

Scammer's phone1-312-275-2031 Scammer's addressCA, USA CountryUnited States Victim LocationCA 90210, USA Type of a scamFake Invoice/Supplier Bill
I got a text with my name in it that told me I had a package waiting for me at the IPS Collection Depot. My name being included made the text seem legitimate. The package apparently had a "missing import fee" and the text contained a link to follow. I clicked the link, because I have been online shopping a lot lately. When I entered the tracking number, it didn't provide any details beyond stating that the package was at the depot. The site that popped up was really legitimate looking but usually, you can click the logos and be directed back to a home page. The company logos did nothing when I clicked on them. I wanted a phone number that I could call because I wanted to go to the depot and pay in person for this alleged "international package". When given the option of picking up the package at the depot, it responded with an error message that indicated the package was already at the depot and I must choose home delivery. At this point, I decided to contact the companies where I have ordered from directly to ask them if they shipped with IPS and if they could find out where my packages were.The scammers were only asking for $3, which seemed like a dumb amount to scam someone for but if you get $3 from enough people, it will add up quickly. Also, $3 isn't something that most people would go to the police for, so it could be that asking for a small amount provides protection from legal involvement? Anyway, after talking with the companies that I ordered from, I verified that none of them had used IPS as a service so this number is a scam.

Received a text notification associated to a delivery we were expecting. The company wanted to charge us for unpaid custom fees. The logo of the company is similar to the one from UPS.

I receive calls from this so-called debt collection company several times a day, claiming I owe money for a payday loan I never took out in 2010. They've also somehow acquired my parents' phone number and they get calls everyday as well. I haven't lived with my parents for nearly 17 years. They are very rude and say terrible things when I call to ask them to stop calling us. I don't know how these people sleep at night.

The company calls every phone number that I have ever had and wants me to verify the last 4 digits of my social security number. On the caller id it says 855-283-4371, but they ask you to press 1 to speak with a representative or call back at 844-279-7423.

An 800 number has been calling my husband, myself and both mother and father in law stating my husband needs to call their office with a given claim number regarding a pay day loan from 2012 and that if he doesnt call they will 'See him in court." He called them back and they wanted personal information which luckily he didnt give out. We requested documents be mailed to our home regarding dates and amounts, they wouldnt and got very argumentitive then hung up. they have also threatened to contact his place of employement and said they could garnish his wages unless he paid them. agreed to reduced balance in half if he paid that day. My husband mentioned he had an attorney and they immediately hung up. They answer the phone by the name of IPS and the only info they would give out was that they were an Arbitration firm. We tried finding them online to no avail but found a ton of other people claiming they are doing the same thing to them and it is a scam. They knew a ton of personal info so it really sounded legit at first. the phones numbers they called from were 1-855-473-0348 and asked us to call them back at 1-844-279-7423. They would not give us their address or any other information.

the phone rings and a recording comes on and tells you that you have a claim within their office that needs immediate attention, use claim number XXXXXXX and a representative will help you. if you wish to be connected press zero or call back at number 1-844 279 7426. The actual phone number that comes in is 1-855-473-0348. If you call back or connect by pressing zero, you are connected to a Asian representative who speaks broken English and so fast you can hardly hear the company name. the company is IPS or international Personnel Solutions and they state that they are a third party firm who deals in arbitration and represent a client which has filed a court order against you. It is all very convincing however when confronted with the collection laws of having 5 days to send a written documentation containing client information, the amount of the debt. They state that they have sent three letters and that you have been avoiding contact. They become belligerent, when faced with someone who knows they are scammers. I dont know how they get the phone number address and last four of your social security card but it is a well conceived plot.

We have received several phone calls beginning on December 2nd. I answered the first one and found out that the company was called IPS and she claimed they have my husband's social security number, address, cell phone number and bank account number and that he owes money for an online pay day loan from 2013 that we've never heard of, much less did business with. I was threatened with legal action and when I pushed for proof she became very agitated with me. I was informed that all I needed to do to resolve this situation was to authorize a payment of 300.00 today. When I refused to pay any amount I was advised that I was being turned over to the legal Dept. This is a scam that has been going on for years and the FBI are working on it according to the state trooper that called me back about the nearly daily harassing phone calls.
