972-528-7419

Scavenger Collection Company.  They will not leave message and when you immediately try to call them, they do not answer.  DO NOT give them any information.  Most of these companies will scare you telling you there are serving you papers tomorrow and will you be home?  Tell them you'd love to see the papers so you can have evidence for court and see what they say.  Most of the time, they will try to tell you to call another number to verify your address and date and time for the papers to be served.  Advise them anytime is fine and you want the papers and you are not calling anyone.

There has to be  a way to stop these crooks!  Honestly they are giving me a nerbouse breakdown.

These crooks just call me saying there going to have someone i know serve with papers but she could not tell me the name of the company or the phone number. Tell them to call god cause you can't help them.

a girl name neice call me as a process server..lmao she is the worst collector  shaker ever...she called got straight to the point didnt vrfy no info...lol...i ask her to send me her email so i can give her a lil pointers......Im a top collector...i called the number back,and they talk so unprofessinal..i was transfer a thousands times,they must not have any closers.. OMG..i bet she only collect 600.00 for the month..

I will try my best to see who is her owner or mgrt...'
so i can let him/her know that they have the wrost collector...
lol

I have been called several times by these idiots and they keep asking for someone who doesn't even have my phone number. I tell them there is no one here by that name and they insist that I am that person and I am hiding from them. I told them today to stop harassing me or I will be filing a complaint. I am waiting to see if they call me again.

I just block them from calling, end of problem

They call everyday on my cell at the same time.  I actually answered the phone this time and they were telling me someone was coming to serve me papers tomorrow.  I told them to quit calling my phone and they kept insisting that some one was serving me papers.  They actually said Mr. Silver was scheduled to server papers.  I hung up on them

How do you block a number from calling you?

Depends on the phone. I have an HTC Inspire, and I just push the call history button, and touch and hold on the number I want to block and a menu pops up. The second to last option is "block caller". I touch that, and it pops up another little window saying "All calls from this caller will go directly to voicemail. Are you sure you want to block this caller?" - yes or no. Click yes, and problem goes away as long as they keep calling from that number.

Every Friday within the same time frame they call- No message - I want them to STOP!

got a call from this number (972) 528-7419...the lady started telling me that I was being served and that papers will be serve to me and asking if I will be home.  She just went on and on about the documents that will arrive to my address.  Then she mention a name Reed...that's when I hung up!  I have notice this number before and ignored it because I don't answer calls I don't know.

Not sure who these people are...if they are a debt collector or what...the lady didn't say!

Called my work & my cell asking for 2 different people whom I do not know or ever heard of. They are going to serve me with legal papers. I told them bring it on [***]!! There's no one by that name here. It's a scam debt. collector. They wont get a penny from me, but it does get annoying them calling all the
time:(

There are complaints about them all over the internet for harassing people that do not owe the debt, threatening to arrest people for a debt, telling people the only way they'll stop calling is to pay "court costs" on an alleged suit they filed, etc.  According to some of the MANY complaint pages and numbers they've called using, it seems they call about debts that are 5-10 years old, don't care if they were paid or not because they want money.  There are people who have fallen for this, and stated that they paid, and are STILL waiting on getting the documentation of the debt from them.  Of course, their story is that they sent it out ... yeah, right.
What's laughable is one page on their website that says they follow the law during collection attempts.  OBVIOUSLY, NOT!  THEY have an F rating with the FL BBB (see below).

By the way, it would seem to me that, IF you had a bad debt, it would show on your credit report (if still eligible to be reported).  IF you do have a bad debt on your credit report, you might want to consult an attorney and/or the original creditor, rather than these folks who obviously could care less about the law.  [I am NOT an attorney, nor do I profess to be one.  I am NOT dispensing “legal advice,” simply giving my opinion!]

IF they were calling about a legitimate debt, they would NOT be calling to see if you'll be home all day on certain day to "deliver legal documents" or "subpeona."  A legit collector CANNOT discuss your bill with anyone else OR threaten to arrest you and/or send you to debtor's prison, etc.

Make yourself aware of the rules in the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT.--http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.shtm  
Here is more info on it from the FTC Consumer information -- http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection
It's glaringly apparent that these folks enjoy breaking most of these rules.

Hope this helps someone!


As well as filing a complaint with your State Attorney General and the FTC, you can also file complaints in Florida.

Due to the high volume of information that we receive, we are unable to reply to every submission; however, we appreciate the information that you have provided.”  
[NOTE: As far as I’m personally concerned, the behavior of these companies IS a form of domestic terrorism, although the FBI may not.]

It also occurs to me that, particularly on the GreenDot/Prepaid card “payments,” since they are apparently difficult to trace, I seriously doubt they are reporting these funds on their income taxes === tax evasion.  (That’s the way they finally got Al Capone!)  The IRS has forms for reporting suspected evasion, and even a reward form you can complete for if you help them catch the folks!
http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/How-Do-You-Rep ... aud-Activity%3F   (I’m 99% sure it’s the Form 3949-A that you’ll want to complete if you’ve been swindled by these folks.)    It looks like Form 211 is to claim a reward!
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3949a.pdf   -- Form 3949-A
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f211.pdf  -- Reward form

   I personally don’t care WHICH branch of the government goes after these people, as long as THEY get REAL FEDERAL ARREST WARRANTS out on them!!  So, if you’ve been taken in by these folks, besides filing with the above, don’t forget the IRS!  (You KNOW they like going after money!!!)

It may not help, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to fill the mailboxes at the White House with letters about these folks.  If the President wants to get involved with courts and everyday peoples’ lives, then he needs to get involved in THIS!
http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact  -- to the right side of the page, there are links for leaving online comments, writing a letter, or calling the White House.



I'd suggest giving a list of time, date, phone number, and anyone's name you were given on these calls...EVEN if you didn't answer or it went to VM.

SUGGESTIONS (again, I am NOT an attorney and am NOT attempting to dispense legal advice.  These are my PERSONAL suggestions)
1-IF you decide to answer one of their MANY calls from about 50 different telephone numbers (no, I’m not exaggerating), give them NO INFORMATION.  In fact, YOU MAKE THEM ANSWER QUESTIONS, and if they don’t, hang up on them!   I don’t know anything about spoofing/masking numbers, but there have been comments that they are VOIP’ing the majority of the numbers they’re calling from.  I do not doubt this, as a person said the number showing on her phone was that of the local police department.
2-Keep a running log of the date, time, telephone number, person calling and note of conversation to file with your complaints.  (Or, try to record the call, BUT they usually hang up when they’re told they’re being recorded.  ROFLOL, now how many LEGITIMATE collection agencies would do that?  NONE that I’ve ever heard!
3-Look up your state’s Statute of Limitations on debts that can be pursued in court (that you can still be sued for).  It seems to vary from 3-15years.
4-DO NOT allow them to intimidate or frighten you.  These idiots have even called the numbers attorneys, police officers, etc. with this scam.  Intelligent, they are NOT.  

USUAL PLOYS:
1-call friends, neighbors, relatives, employers, and you trying to intimidate you into paying JUST to make the calls stop (but, from looking online, they don’t stop…they just demand more). – Ask these folks to also keep a log of the calls, give them this internet page to check.  Ask them to do a search for ANY of these company names.  They’ll soon realize it that these people are nothing but SCAMMERS.
2-“…have important legal documents (or summons) to deliver, will you be home ---(day) from 8:30 to 4:30 to accept it?”
3-“There’s a warrant out for your arrest UNLESS you send us $xxx TODAY”  -- they seem to prefer asking for the “Green Dot” prepaid card and want you to call back with the numbers on back … harder to trace where to $ goes, apparently.

COMPANY NAMES:
Goodman and Stern LLC, aka GSA Recovery, aka GSA Management Orlando, FL  … AND/OR … EIESNBURG, WHITMAN & ASSOCIATES LLC, Rubin and Weizman, LLC.


TYPE OF CALL:
SCAM AND/OR EXTORTION BY A DISREPUTABLE LICENSED COLLECTION AGENCY
