I ignored the messages, but i called the number back and thought it was a collection agency.  They actually tried to serve me at work.  Then I got certified mail from them.  When I saw that name ALS, no way was i gonna pick it up.  Wish I had, the judge awarded them a default judgement for hundreds of dollars more than I borrowed from that payday loan company.  I didn't even know until I got garnished at work.  These payday loan companies are the scam.

I rec'd a call from a Tina Brown special investagator claiming I needed to contact this number. She stated she was just a person who delivers information from Allied Legal Serivces and would not provide any call back information. The company name she gave me was The Review Company who needed to speak with me regarding an affidavit.

on -12/10/09, i received a message from some stumbling, fumbling idiot (some black dude reading the script like a 3rd grader, he even started laughing himself because he had to start over about 3 times) on my answering service saying he was a special investigator, i have been names as a defendant in a restraining order i committed fraud i need to call back within 48 hrs and give this information to my attorney.  First, i know official legal matters are handled via certified mail not phone. Second, i just had a Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharged 5 mos, so i know i dont owe anyone in this whole world, third, who the hell is he to tell me to call my lawyer, finally, i did owe 2 payday loans, which were discharged, listen people, DONT EVER GET A PAYDAY LOAN, THOSE PEOPLE ARE SO VICIOUS AND SCANDALOUS, I WILL NEVER GO TO THEM AGAIN, I WOULD RATHER EAT OUT OF THE GARBAGE AND SLEEP ON A PARK BENCH. AND SELL MY BODY FIRST.

i just got same call, any suggestions on what to do?

i just got a message on my voice mail from these people. i dont know what to do. he said i need to have my lawyer call him with 24-48 hours. i have nothing to give them right now. any ideas on what to do??????

so i am on the phone with these people. they are willing to take a settlement or payment plan. i wanted to set up a payment plan but i am not able to do it till the first of the month. guess what they said. A BIG FAT NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF I AM WILLING TO PAY THEM.

BEWARE OF THE SCAMMERS. THEY READ OUR COMMENTS AND THEY TOO WILL ACT AS IF THEY HAVE RECEIVED A CALL AND TRY TO CONVINCE YOU THAT THEY ARE LEGIT BY ACTING AS IF THEY WERE CALLED AND SERVED. BE VERY CAREFUL. ASK FOR PROOF OF THE DEBT AND GET FAX NUMBERS ADDRESSES ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN FIND OUT ABOUT THE COMPANY. GET A NAME OF THE COMPANY. P.S. USUALLY WHEN PEOPLE GET SERVED PAPERS, IT IS DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR AT WORK OR HOME WITH NO PHONE CALL LETTING YOU KNOW ABOUT IT.

RECEIVED A CALL FROM ODGEN WHITE WITH STATING THAT I HAD A RETRAINING ORDER AGAINST ME, BUT WOULD NOT TELL ME FOR WHAT.  HAD TO CALL THE ABOVE NUMBER AND WHOEVER ANSWERED THE PHONE COULD GIVE ME MORE DETAILED INFORMATION. MR. ROGER SILVERTHORNE THEN TRIED TO EXPLAIN WHAT WAS GOING ON, BUT SOUNDED LIKE THE SAME INFORMATION TRI-FINANCIAL STAFF WAS DOING FROM ANOTHER COMPANY.  NEVER SENT ME THE INFORMATION I REQUESTED TO PROVE THE CLAIM WAS LEGIT.

i have been speaking with them. set up a payment schedule but the payment was to be sent to a PERSON! not a company. They would not accept a credit card, probably because it can be traced. They wanted me to send money via moneygram to someone in ohio. They would not send me any proof that they were authorized to settle the debt. Maybe someone that works for a collection company with access to the information and wants to make money off of those of us that want to make it right. They called my work and gave information to my coworkers that I had a restraining order being filed and a complaint issued. They used the intent to defraud line with me to.

Got a VM message from Tina Brown 4:00 Christmas Eve--left 980-939-0921 to call back because I was named as a respondent on a case.  She did not tell me what company she was calling from ---- I forwarded to my attorney--he said this was a fraud, scam--do not send them any money, don't confirm anything.  
When they end the message with "may God help you"--this is suspicious.  
I have had companies like this call me before--I got scammed the first time and they cleaned out my checking account.  Never again.  Please be careful when dealing with these "thugs".

I received calls at my job (messages left) and home (no message left); today, I finally speak to someone who couldn't give me any detailed information. I'm so sick of these people trying to SCAM people. What can I do to stop the calls?

They said they were calling on behalf of Cash Call Incorporated. And I owed 3 times the original amount I had borrowed. They put me on hold while I asked them to talk to the original debtor and see if we can work out a deal. HE would not let me talk to them...which having some experience with debt collection, they usually always want to talk directly to you. I requested a proof of debt from them and they refused and told me I was being uncooperative with them and they wished me the best of luck... I called Cash Call, Inc and they have no record of me by social or phone numbers. The 980-939-0921 phone # also had an answer from over year and half ago. Not sure if this is a scam or what it is, but unless you can get proof of debt owed or some original paperwork, don't give them any info for taking your money.

Same as above. Tina Brown. She called my work, work cell, personal cell and home phone with the exact same script.Then 3 days later, new guy, same script. Just ignore, save messages then report them. Anyone see the NBC special on this? These people are sneaky and ruthless, get their money off fear

Received a call from 980-939-0921...message said that it is mandatory for me to appear in court for some kind of complaint filled againts me... I am a single mother of 3 just separated from husband...and was told that they do not care and that I should think of these things before I get a pay day loan...DON"T EVER GET A PAY DAY LOAN ADVANCE...they have no heart and act like they have never been in need of food or diapers for the babys
