They're on www.buffaloniagara.org under the jobs/help wanted section, I just did a Google of their cell and fax #s.  Only the fax # came up, 834-4808...I appreciate you posting this information on the site because now I am NOT going to call them for a job!  I know I'd be too chicken to ask people for their past debts.  Selling something is one thing, but trying to collect is a whole other animal!!!

what do you need to know about Zundricia Buckner / Reese Buckner / Rici Buckner

Well I find it odd that they won't tell me the name of the attorney they say they work for.  I was told that they are collecting for ATT Wireless.  So I called ATT and they have no record of my ever having service.  If they serve me I will take my chances in court.  They also said it was reported to the cedit bereu so I grabed the one I ran on myself last week and asked them why it is not on there.  He didn't have much of an answer.  They also said that if ATT called that they wouldn't give them any information either.  Thats odd seeing how they are suppose to be the client they are calling for.  There is no way they are getting my money.  P.S. If you you guys are reading this I filed a complant with the FBI.

WoW I know the guy who actually owns this business, and althought I heard it was sleezy, I didnt think it was this bad. I have been friends with one of his BMs for a very long time.

I thought he actually ran a legit company, but apparently its like one big cloud of smoke.

I received a call this morning at 6:30 A.M. from a guy claiming to be the "Chief Investigator" on a legal case filed against someone we do not even know. I had in the past let this company know they had the wrong number. The person this litigation consulting company is looking for has never lived at our house and we do not have any relatives or close friends with that name. When I told the "chief investigator" that no one by that name lived at our house he got very irate and yelled: "I am not asking you if he lives there, I am asking you if you know him!" After we argued some back and forth I told him not to ever call and he hung up on me. I called the number back and the same guy answered the phone. I asked him for information and he gave me the name of the company, he said they were located in Marylandand. He said he was the director of operations and his name was Vicenzo Morano--or so he claims. I told him I was going to file a complaint with the State Attorney General. He laughed and wished me Good Luck.

Ken --

Are you still at those email addresses?

Ditto on all the above for my situation.  I wrote a complaint to the Maryland State Attorney's office and will submit one to my own state along with the FBI.  BUT.. I have two questions:

1.  How do you get them to stop calling and harassing?

2.  Has anyone actually been served a summons from this company?

No, no one has been served from this company. What they're doing, and threatening to do, is illegal on several fronts. On a few of these websites you'll find a poster here and there that CLAIMS to have been served but this bogus company has gotten wise to the info that's spreading on the internet and has started a misinformation campaign. I got one of the calls for a debt I've never had. When I questioned them, they got rude and irate, and even called back and left an expletive-laced message on my voicemail. They're crooks, plain and simple. Apparently, they have purchased some old, old debt lists from someone -- occasionally, you'll read a posting from someone who actually had one of the debts that they're claiming to be collecting on, but it's either over the statute of limitations (be sure to check what that is in your state) and/or the person took care of it through bankruptcy. Just as often, though, the person receiving the phone call either never had the debt, or is not the actual person they're trying to reach. I've even read a few accounts where these crooks call, looking for one name, and when they realize they've dialed a wrong number, start trying to get information out of the person who answered the phone!

Since I received my phone call (which was back in April -- and still, no sheriff has turned up at my door! Huh.) I've done a little research on the Internet -- reports of their scamming are ALL OVER THE PLACE. In fact, if you really want to make them angry, mention that you read about them on the Internet if they call you.  They go by a variety of names and phone numbers -- some of the names they use include Global Asset Investigations, Worldwide Recovery Services, Worldwide Asset Investigation Services and North American Asset Investigation Bureau (NAAIB). Last year they were operating out of Cleveland, OH, until they were shut down -- the Cleveland BBB named them as one of the top ten scams of 2007 (http://cleveland.bbb.org/WWWRoot/SitePage.asp ... 19642b&art=4334).
You can get more info here: http://www.budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/NAAIB.htm.
They will probably continue using this MD number until they get shut down again, then start using a new area code, but the MO is always the same: they call and identify themselves in a way that implies they are either working for a lawyer, the court system, or the police department (all of these misleading statements are illegal); tell you that there has been a civil case filed against you, they give you a case number, and tell you that you must contact them before a warrant is sworn out against you. When you contact them, they tell you that they are investigating a debt that is 10, 12, 15 or so years old; they'll name some bank you've never heard of, or a credit card you've never heard of. They'll have just enough information about you to make you nervous and they'll be phishing to find out more information. They'll tell you that the debt is some ridiculous amount -- let's say $10,200 for an example -- but if you're willing to pay today, they'll reduce it to, for example, $650. But they can't give you an address. Instead, they will ask for your bank account or credit card number. They'll tell you that if you don't settle on the phone with them that moment, a sheriff will appear at your door within 48 hours to arrest you. NONE OF THIS IS TRUE. Complaints have been filed to the AG of OH, MD, TX, NY, and IL, as well as to the FTC, FCC, and the FBI (as they are trying to illegally extort money over the phone). They often target the elderly and infirm. Do not speak with them, and save whatever messages they leave on your phone. If you get a phone call, file a complaint online with the following organizations:
http://www.oag.state.md.us/Consumer/complaint.htm
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en
http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm
as well as the Attorney General of your own state. Remember: whether the debt is yours or not, you should not be dealing with these people. They are not a legitimate organization.

PLEASE -- file a report. You were smart and savvy enough to do research on this number; not everyone is that lucky. REPORT THEM!!!

They called my grandparents who are in a assisted living home and left them a vm. I thought they were legit untill I found over 50 websites saying this was a scam. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION, they have to by law give you the infomation (which they will not) all you CANNOT be sued for something if it is out of the statue of limitations. I told the person calling me it had been over 5 yrs, our state limitation law is 3 yrs. When I told her this she was pissed and cursed and hung up on me. DONT TRUST THESE PEOPLE. Report them to the BBB and MD Attorney General Office.

This is on DATELINE NBC right now. DO NOT CALL THESE PEOPLE.  DO NOT WIRE THEM ANY MONEY.  They are NOT in Maryland.  They are dirty and sleazy.

they were just on dateline NBC.  xyzpdq is correct!  everyone heed his warnings!  these people are criminals!!!

These people are scum...  Here is their real # (716) 834-0112.  Call them and let them know how you feel.  Switch you phone to vonage and your name won't be listed!!!

Dateline just did a story on this company and came to buffalo to find them, they are total trash-they are using really horrible tactics to collect debts, you should contact a lawyer if they are harrassing you, it's illegal.

I did not receive a call. I am a collector and i will tell you this much, they buy they debts from the companies you owe and then are allowed to go to lengths to collect on it. Its is not a bogus business. If you have a debt you are open to people buying that debt and harassing you. So be careful how you can open yourself up to situations like this. But yes they can do what they want. They bought your debt and own it, and do not have boundaries.

and another thing you people owe money get over it next time you wont charge up cards when u dont plan on paying it back. get what ya deserve. then you get mad when people call you, now what sense does that make? they do have a horrible tactic and i would never do that, its immoral, but also what people when they dont pay things is immoral as well. the money is going to the right place your debt will be resolved, dont pay it and they will still call simple as that.

I find it very disturbing,,especially after watching Dateline tonight that a bunch of Convicted dope smoking felons can have access to hardworking people's information much less SSN's.....As far as Mr.Moneybags,,,,he's probably lived in some "SLUM" in New York all his life,,as him and some of his buddies "POOLED" some of their dope cash together to buy up other people's debt....Mr.Moneybags should just do us all a favor....Rather than think he's a rapper,,he should just go back into that "SHACK" he calls a home in that "DATELINE" video and let us continue to pay his WELFARE CHECKS....I'm sure we have kept Mr.Moneybags afloat for years....

Chris Hansen (the guy now famous for busting sexual predators who try to meet minors over the internet and then get interviewed by him when they show up) just busted these vile, reprehensible, sickeningly putrid, evil, noxious scumbags on Dateline NBC (3-27-09).  What disgusting slimeballs!!  These wicked maggots are preying on innocent people and are felons themselves --  one of these turds is even awaiting sentencing himself on current charges.

I haven't checked, but you might be able to watch the show at Dateline.MSNBC.com.
If not, they suggest you contact your state's State Attorney General office and the Federal Trade Commission and file complaints.  It is illegal to represent yourself as a law enforcement agent / peace officer, and these subhuman $#!+ stains need to be sent back to prison for the current crimes they're now perpetrating upon innocent people who have done nothing wrong other than get sick or be laid off from their job (due to the outfall of the horrendous economic wreckage wrought upon our country and the world by that other felonious criminal -- the bloodthirsty murderous [***] sociopathic Repugnican fascist terrorist, Dictator George W. Bushitler).

Anyway, these buttnuggets are perfect examples of why scum like this is always either on welfare (and defrauding the system), in prison, or involved in illegal activities like pushing drugs or shaking innocent people down for money.

Hey cara,
no one is saying they shouldn't pay debts they owed. People are simply saying, like you said disgusting and nasty tactics are illegal and should not be used.

I would also like to add that this is NOT a LEGITIMATE COLLECTION AGENCY.....They buy up really OLD DEBT and in some CASES these DEBTS have past the STATUTE of LIMITATIONS and in other cases DON't even EXIST....They will POSE as POLICE OFFICERS {ILLEGAL} and claim they have WARRANTS issued against you....If you get these calls in my honest opinion,,,I would wait on calling the F.B.I.,N.Y. attorney general etc...I would instead LAWYER UP and continue the conversations with Mr.Moneybags INC and have the calls TAPE RECORDED and you will soon be RECEIVING MONEY instead of OWING...{CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT}....Mr.Moneybags is RARELY even at the OFFICE,,,he's usually out in his HUMMER which he purchased with YOUR MONEY and usually does nothing all day,,,which I doubt surprises anyone.....

But yes they can do what they want. They bought your debt and own it, and do not have boundaries.

This is why I would never deal with "COLLECTORS" at any point...I would rather take my chances in COURT....I find these PEOPLE to be WORSE than people with DEBT......I don't call it a real job...I call it someone who sits behind a "COMPUTER" and couldn't make it in the "REAL WORLD"...Get a LIFE....
