8889003120

Well...  apparently they are now calling themselves Regional Arbitration Services.  Wow.  Thomas Whittaker really gets around.  Total bs.  Keep it up idiots.

They called my job claiming to give official service for court with a case number via an automated system and left the number 888-900-3120. They said I was being accused of check fraud against CASHNET and that if I paid them today it would 746.00, however if I went to court it would be well over $2000.00. Steven Wilson was the person I spoke with and he was rude. I am filing a complaint with the federal government, because I work on Federal property and he was very intimidating. After speaking with law enforcement, THIS IS A SCAM....designed to scare you into paying them some money.

I have been getting phone calls from this number looking for my ex-husband who I have been divorced from for 20 years now. They keep calling my daughter and son. Non of us know where he is nor do most of us care. I don't know what it's about and I don't give a rat's behind. Stop calling me.

Okay, I called the 888-900-3120 and the operator said thank you for calling "Arbitration Department". I spoke with a "Citation Officer" (no name) and I asked why Thomas Whitaker was calling my cell for my ex-husband who I haven't seen in 20 years. "Citation Officer" says I must be a reference or point of contact for him (I'm not). I told him I didn't know where he was, my children don't know where he is and that I wanted them to stop calling all of us. Now, keep in mind, he never asked for the names or phone numbers that I wanted calling stopped. I did call them from my office and as a Federal Agency, our phone numbers don't register. By the way, I work for a very large Law Enforcement agency and we investigate these types of crimes against consumers. I have turned over all the phone numbers, names and alias over to my agents.

I received a letter from DRS    in the mail & called them today regarding the letter. Apparently I owe $1,000.00 for a Cashnet payday loan..?.. I asked the woman on the phone when the loan was borrowed, SHE DIDN'T KNOW! I settled her the original amount of the liam, SHE DIDN'T KNOW! I addled her where the loan was deposited, NO ANSWER, she attempted to verify an address as well as references listed on the loan application, neither I have ever heard of. I requested a settlement letter in writing before I agreed to give them my debit card number, she REFUSED! I knew something was fishy, I did my own investigating while I kept her on hold. I realized that this was not accurate and I told her I was disputing the debt, she advised me that I was going to be charged with malicious intent to commit fraud to a financial institution, I laughed and told her that was fine. She hung up on me and immediatly after that the "LEAD INVESTIGATOR" called me back & threatened to have me arrested within hours. Nothing happened, except kettering phone calls from DRS. I contacted the local police department, filed a report, I will be filing a report with the FBI tomorrow, since the FBI is federal and DRS is in Canada. And the police have the 801 area code that they are calling from. FRAUDDDDDDDDDDDD!

Receive several calls a day from a Mr. Whitaker claiming to be the DIrector for District Restitution Services and is a pre-recorded message with a so called "file number" but when I call them back on the number provided I get a recorded message. They call for my previous married name but I haven't had that last name for nearly 5 years. Statute of limitations in Ohio is 2 years for a misdemeanor. It is illegal to threaten you with jail time, you cannot go to jail for a debt. I am debating on contacting the FCC as if contact is made, the statute starts all over again. Any words of avice?

Contact the FCC and your Attorney General's office and file complaints on the phone number.

This is a scam. Do not give these people any of your personal information!

Steven Wilson answers the phone @ 888-900-3120, fairly nasty individual didn't suggest that I contact an officer to investigate this because I recalled having taken c/o this matter.  I also and unfortunately gave out my information but then got my card shut down for pending fraud.  Another # they are calling from is 317-863-0217 a direct # for him.  The original recording came from Tom Whitaker @claims regional abritrary service...b careful these people are good at getting you to think they are real because they actually speak the jargon of well-trained collection specialists.

A lady was called by these people being advised she was under investigation for fraud checks but would not give any information adivsed they hard her social security number and that were going to signs warrants on her for fraud.  Lady never even had a checking account.  If you call back no one answers it just advised you that it is Arbitration.  and tells you there messeages are full.  If they call advise them you have them recorded and that you are reporting them to the local FBI for financial fraud and i bet they won't call back

i received the same call as everyone else.My debit was $750. he threatned me with numorious felonies bank fraud, writing a bad check and some i never heard of. He said if i didnt pay today i was going to jail and the sherriff will be at my door. Every employee were very unprofessional and rude.This got to be a way to stop them

I continue to get the same message. Thomas Whitaker keeps leaving me a voice message telling me I am a person of interest in a case against my ex-husband. I have called them several times to tell them I don't know where he is and I don't care where he is. I have been divorced from him for 21 years. Funny thing though, even though they say they will stop calling, they don't ask for the phone number or name of person calling. I work for a major Law Enforcement agency and have turned in the information to our cyber crime squad because that's what it sounds like.

I'm glad I'm not alone. They've been calling me once a week, with the same auto-recording message mentioned by others. To make matters especially irritating, they're seeking someone who had my phone number years ago. They promise to stop because I don't even know the guy they're trying to reach. And yet they keep calling.

The caller ID says (205) 383-1860, a Birmingham Number. But the number they ask me to call is (888) 900-3120.

The last time I called them back, the lady who answered was pretty rude. I've filed a complaint with the FTC.

Glad I am not the only one receiving these calls.  The first time I got the message I was confident it was a scam...glad to know my intuition was right!  I will be sure to report this!!

Have got same calls and letters.  Now getting same from company called regional arbitrational services for same supposed debt with same threats...also calling with local mass. Number and utah number... Anyone know if this is same company and legit? I canceled bank account and they said i also will be charged with credit card fraud as well

I have been getting calls for 3 weeks now.  I spoke with a man who called himself Mr. Adams.  He told me where the debt was from, but could not tell me when I got the loan. He said he could only tell me when it went delinquent.  He said 2008.  I hadn't lived in that location since 2003.  When I asked him how much I owed he didn't know then was figuring it up. He said 577.00.  I called the advance america corporate number.  I do in fact have a debt of 167.00.  AA are checking in to see who "owns" the debt now.  She said she would call me back and that she wanted to make sure I was paying the right people.  If you do have a debt I suggest calling the lender you borrowed from.  I was young and stupid when I took out this money, and now am married with 2 babies.  I want to clear up the debt, but not with scammers.

I also called the state sec. Office and they have no listing of this buisness and they are not in any yellow pages.she stated that if they were working in conjunction with county ciurthouses as they claim they would be liscenced buisness.....they sound legit on phone but everything else points to being a scam

these  people call 7-10 times a day saying i  am going to jail  and they are gonna have me arrested..please stop  the harrassement..they  yell  and scream  and want my bank info

I received a call from them today.  Saying I had this debt from 2004 with AA and if I didn't pay 1/2 now ($398 with fees) as "bond" I would go to jail.  I'm certain that I do in fact have a $300 debt from 2004 - it was a bad time in my life and I was stretched beyond the max financially; and being frightened by this guy, like an idiot I paid it and set up payment of the other 1/2 in two weeks.  Now what do I do?

Hello

Like my screen name says...  do not fall for this.  A debt collector must have the proper lic. to collect on that debt.  You can dispute it.  However...  this place is a scam, and not even located in the US.  They are breaking the law with threats, etc.  Do not make any sort of payment plan with them AT ALL!  Do not give any more of your information...  especially credit card or banking information.

They mask their phone number to make you think they are calling in your area.  Use your state judiciary search, check your name and see if there are any pending cases (both past, present and future will show up).

Even if the debt is valid (I doubt they will have ANY paperwork in regards to this)...  number one, most payday loans are illegal in several states...  number two...  statute of limitations on that debt only run for a couple of years...  

Once again...  DO NOT FALL FOR THIS...  and, file a complaint with the FTC and your Attorney General.  The practices they use are illegal!
