I Fell For the Scam....

I initially received a call from a court processor informing me that they made multiple attempts to deliver a summons to me, and was calling to verify my address and that I would be home. He said he had no information regarding the case and I was given a phone number to call (888)552-0134 and a case ID. When I called, they answered the phone as Southland Acquisitions and he identified himself as Jesse Sanchez. When I inquired about the call i received, they first said that it is unusual that I received a call and that he would look in to the case for me. He asked me for permission to record the conversation and continued to verify my personal information in which he knew my social, birthdate and previous addresses. He claimed that I had a case filed for unpaid overdraft fees to a Bank of America account I had in 2006. He had my B of A account #(which I later contacted B of A to verify and to find they have no records of the act #). On this day I was busy with work and didn't think much of it, then oh [censored] moment, and with debt so old I just wanted it gone. So I proceeded forward with payment as it sounded legit. Ultimately, after several phone calls back and forth (note future phone calls were answered "corporate office") he offered a settlement out of court for $1900. Unfortunately, the more I spoke with him, I was convinced it was in fact legitimate claim and paid in full. I was emailed a docusign document to review and sign through Adobe(a red flag). No where was I informed that this S & P Group said it authorized a company called "southland acquisitions" to authorize the payment. Doing research on both "companies" do you find anything. There are not any websites or valid addresses or even valid phone numbers on S&P group/ southland acquisitions and the listed phone number on the document (888)552-0134 or (877)323-2328 don't appear when googling them to help find either business. I've tried calling and making contact with the businesses in regards to payment arrangements agreed upon and there is no contact made unless you default on payment then they are quick to call you the following day. I have found this after two payments not paid. The recent one raised another red flag when southland tried to take the money from my act the day prior to scheduled time. When I waited til next as I knew the guy would be calling and sure did, I was sure to have a witness during the conversation. Upon conversation the guy was hostile but also offended when I started questioning him more and more and informing him I would not be making anymore payments until I found out further information about the companies. I even asked for further documentation to be emailed to me in regards to the document I signed and he began to become hesitant and took time but it was eventually sent over. The header of the adobe "contract" has the S & P GROUP with the address as follows 9668 Milliken Ave Suite 104-926, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, 91730. What sucked even more is, I am familiar with this area and know this area is nothing but restaurants. The Fax # provided is (888)256-5836. After everything and even tried making contact with the Jessie guy again with no response, I made the decision to write a Cease and Desist and not only email it to the email that was in the sent to me with he adobe contract but to Fax it the fax # (888)256-5836 in which once it had been sent all you hear is a voicemail stating no one could answer and then a fax back about there was no answer. I confronted him about his lack of company address and about the reputation of Southland. I have contacted my bank account to inform them and they expressed how grateful they were that I froze my card so the charges wouldn't continue and how they feel this may in fact be fraud. I really hate that this has happened to so many other people, but I hope this message encourages people to stand up for themselves and protect and fight for what's right. I appreciate the person who wrote a detailed message that's on here as it gave me the courage to do the same. Just mind blown how close our stories are. Stay alert people! and at the end the total the man stated I owed was $1945.25. I to this day have paid $1172.62 and in the process of the claim being investigated and my funds being reimbursed.

I initially received a call from a court processor (at my job requesting to speak with my supervisor) informing me that they made multiple attempts to deliver a summons to me, and was calling to verify my address and that I would be home. He said he had no information regarding the case and I was given a phone number to call (866) 830-5354 and a case ID. When I called, they answered the phone as S&P group and he identified himself as Jesse Sanchez. When I inquired about the call i received, they first said that it is unusual that I received a call and that he would look in to the case for me. He knew my social, birthdate and previous addresses. He claimed that I had a case filed for unpaid overdraft fees to a Fifth Third Bank account I had in 2009. He had my Fifth Third Bank account #(which I'm not sure if it was accurate or not). They claimed the debt had been passed on to 5 different collections agencies and I never responded. I was also told I was mailed a 30 days final attempt notice to respond. I explained that I credit monitor and am completely unaware of this outstanding debt, especially since it was almost 10 years ago. He stated that since it is a checking account it is not reported to credit bureaus. He explained that a civil case would remain on my report for 10 years and that I would be placed in chexsystems. Ultimately, after several phone calls back and forth (note future phone calls were answered "corporate office") he offered a settlement out of court for $1900 or pay about $4200 with court fees. Unfortunately, the more I spoke with him, I was convinced it was a legitmate claim and almost paid in full. I did further research on the phone number which all kept coming back as scams. I inquired to members of a financial group that I am apart of who also stated scam. I was emailed a docusign document to review and sign. I then googled the address provided which came up as a UPS store; I then googled the fax number provided and came across a ScamPulse.com scam report with the same exact story and person that I spoke with. Doing research on them I learned that company does many scams of this nature. There is also no website or valid address on S&P group and the listed phone number on the document (866-830-5354) has many scam alerts and they also use other numbers. I did not respond to the email and will no longer be answering their calls. I will be watching my credit very closely as they had accurate personal information.

Scammers called to say I was going to be served and summoned to court by Bank of America to repay over draft and court fees. If I were to pay them it would eliminate me being served in a court case. All a scam! I never used Bank of America nor owe any fees. These [censored] need to be taken down before people get taken advantage of! Others reported the same thing happening to them. Just google this number!866-307-5875

S&P Group called my mother and threatened her as well as myself. They stated that I owed

an overdraft fee to US Bank. I do not. They threatened sending an officer out to our home to

arrest me and a civil suit for non-payment. The call was received on 7/11/2018 at about

6pm. The phone number it came from was marked private but my mother was given a

phone number and a case number to give me. The phone number is 866-307-5875. There

was a male and a female working the phone lines. I told them I didn't owe this debt and

they proceeded to increase the amount from $1 to $1,000.00. They requested personal and

private information. I refused to give it. They were very aggressive and I can only imagine

what they have put some poor people through. Please investigate these con-artists before

they destroy some poor person's life by taking everything they might have. Thank you.
