210-892-1308

called my sister looking for me......they said if i didnt call back within 24 to 48 hours...that i would have a restraining order but out on me......they said that i have a pay day loan taken out in my name and they wanted my social security # and bank info

Called my mother's telephone number saying there was a complaint filed against me. These collection agencies buy and sell old accounts to one another. Whether or not they are cleared up. These accounts keep getting passed around. This is my 6th or 7th time around on the same account, just different collection agencies.

I just get their fax number and fax all my information. I never hear from them again.

I just got the same call from the same company. Did you follow up with their call?

A message was left at my house saying that I had to respond or be taken to Court.   They left an affidavit #.  The company claims they are collecting on an old HSBC Orchard Bank credit card.

When I asked them questions, they were able to verify my name, my dob, and part of my SS#.  It's not my credit card account, so I called HSBC directly to see if they had record of this account.  They did not have record any unpaid debt and are sending me a letter stating that I do not owe them any past due debt.

The Central Asset Bureau said they would be sending Court papers with my Hearing date.  From my research, it appears to be a scam and the papers will probably never come.

When you call them, DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION TO THEM.  I just asked alot of questions to see what they knew about me.

It is a scam they called us on the 24th and none of the information matched up.  Said we had owed JC Penny from and account in 2007. This account should have shown up on our credit report. Nothing out standing. We called JC Penny and there was nothing showing there either DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY

I received a call this morning at 8 a.m.  A woman asked for me, I stated this is she, and she stated "You have a current legal complaint filed against you, and you need to contact our litigations department."  I asked her what this is about, and she stated the litigations department would have that information.  She stated she had a court case number, and to call 210-892-1308.  I said "Maam you people sure have creative ways these days of trying to extort money."  She got rude and hung up. I suspected it was a scam but decided to make sure.  Upon calling the 210 number, I got an automated message that this was a litigation department and to press 1 if you had legal action against me and to press 2 to avoid legal action.  I pressed 2 and a woman asked for my case #.  I stated it, and she asked if I had received a summons through the mail, and I stated a Sheriff's deputy would do that, not the post office.  She got rude and asked did I have an HSBC account from 2004-2006?  I said yes, and it was paid off in 2007.  She said "Well apparently it wasn't or we would not have this information."  I asked what the amount was, and she stated $1,xxx."  I told her I had never owed that much on a credit card in my entire life.  She said "Well that's including fees and interest."  I asked her for the account number, original amount, and contact number for the original creditor, and this woman stated "We have a nondisclosure agreement with HSBC, I can't give you that information."  I said well if it was legit you would have that information and would send me written notice of a debt.  She said "Well we can send you a summons, good luck in court."  I told her fine and hung up.

I have filed a complaint with www.texasattorneygeneral.gov and www.ftc.gov.  They both told me the same thing, that this was probably a scam artist to extort money.  I explained this particular one was paid in full in October 2007.  They stated to hang up on them, that they were not legit because they refused to give original creditor information, and if they were a legit company they would have that info and know the FDCPA.  

Please people, PLEASE do NOT give anyone your credit card or checking account # over the phone. Wait until you get written notice.  Central Asset Bureau are scam artists.  I have googled them and this number, and have came up with nothing but whocallsme.com and 800notes.com complaints.

Recv'd a message at work with threats of a restraining order and all the same script as the others posted here.  Filed a complaint with FTC and local sheriff's office.

210-892-1308 - was told to call this number as i had a restraining order that was to be put on me and to avoid further litigation I was to call this number and give credit card information and social security number.  they said this was to avoid court and i told them that i would go to court and they hung up on me.

From the FBI:

If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller’s instructions. Rather, you should:

Notify your banking institutions.
Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file.
Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger.
File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.
Tips to avoid becoming a victim of this scam:

Never give your Social Security number—or personal information of any kind—over the telephone or online unless you initiate the contact.
Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. The e-mail may include upsetting or exciting but false statements to get you to react immediately.
Avoid filling out forms in e-mail messages that request personal information.
Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and security patches have been applied.
Check your bank, credit, and debit card statements regularly to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions. If anything looks suspicious, contact your bank and all card issuers.
When you contact companies, use numbers provided on the back of cards or statements

I recieved a call on my cell and my home phone saying that a legal situation has been filed against my husband. He has 48 hours to call back. Actually the cell phone showed up 1-707-317-1427.  The home phone showed an Idaho state number. Both numbers were from the sam woman. She even gave me a Claim# and told me I needed that when I called. She said to remember that he only has 24 hours and then everything is out of her hands. The caller name: Tabathia Hicks from Central Assest Bureau. When she did call the second number she said she didn't remember talking to me. This is definately a scam.

This place called my place of employment with a message stating that I owed them money.  I do not owe them anything and will do everything in my power to report this company.

It's a scam. Do not give anymore information. This is clearly a scam. I crossed reference their number and they are unregistered prepaid cell...

My wife received a call on her cell phone and left a message stating that there has been a complaint filed against me and that i have a restraining order and if i dont respond within 48 hours there will be legal action taken.  I need to contact an attorney within 24 to 48 hours.

Got a call from this phone number today and a message was left for my husband stating this is Amy Stewart special investigator. They were letting him know a complaint was filed against him and that an affidavit number was assigned to him and would see him in court.  They stated to contact his attorney in 24 to 48 hours in regards to this matter. Is this really a scam or something we need to worry about.

This company called my phone and told my granddaughter that a complaint had been filed against me and restraining order was being issued and I had 24 hours to respond.  The name used in the latest call was Amy Stewart.  Two days ago the same company called and left a message on my voice mail using another name and was 2 different people calling within 3 hours.  I sent a copy of the email they sent me to the district attorney in our area.

They are getting better i talked to them today and same story about couldnt give out any info on who a loan was from. They claimed they didnt have that info. But then put me on hold and called them and got a settlement amount to offer me.

This is definitely a scam. I received a message from Amy Stewart as well providing me with a claim number and to call her back. When I called back, the person answering the phone wouldn't let me talk to an Amy Stewart and she stated that she was the person that I needed to talk to. I told her that I received a message from Amy Stewart saying that a complaint and restraining order were being filed against me. She asked me to verify my address. I told her that I was not going to verify anything until she told me who filed the complaint against me. I asked her to email me the complaint as I know my rights and I have 30 days in which to respond to a complaint filed against me. She immediately started yelling at me and said that I called her office and that they are not a mail center. I told her that I looked up the telephone number on the internet and Central Asset Bureau and that this is a scam. She continued yelling at me and I hung up.

I am receiving cell phone calls from a company called Central Asset Bureau in Texas.  They called me a week ago,  stating that I had a court file number that was being filed in my county for a payday loan that I never paid back.  I called it back and was told by a they had a case and wanted me to pay them, Today 3/29/12 They called and the women called me a derange A** b***h and hung up on me, I called back and got some other women that told me that I was crazy and I will get court papers at my home and work, She could not handle me and I will get papers. LOL Well I know it is no law office they would never tell you that you are  derange A** b***h they can't pull anything on me. Maybe the calls will stop now. I keep calling them and they keep hanging up on me,They must not like me much, Well the shoe is on the other foot now and they don't like it.

This is a SCAM; they change numbers but use the same old threats. Please report calls to your phone company and Police. I am seeking a Law Suit myself and taking it to the State House of Rep to get a Law passed and a tracking system to have these people arrested. They are the scum of the dead pool; they get your ID by on line means and have just enough info to make them sound like they are honest. Don't fall for it; fight back and let's put them where they belong in Jail.They use different names as well and once more or SCAM and SCUM.

Received a call from Central Asset Bureau caller was listed on caller ID as unknown,but this phone number was given to call back on they quoted a claim number, said they were unable to tell me who the lender was. They did have some of my personal information,she did tell me the loan was from late
2009 and many attempts had been made to contact myself. I was advised that if this matter was not taken care of that a restraining order would be issued and matter would be settled in court
