they just called me a minute ago said it was Sharon Hall and my wife had a court date, I her where this cout date was to take place and said you are third party collection agency because court does not call from an 877 number! she was then annoyed so i wrote down the number and case number and hung up! I was pretty sure it was a scam but I am glad I found this thread now I am sure!

You might take a closer look, not a scam, this is real.  I called and found a pending case.

I received a call from them today and so did my spouse. I was weary about there phone call because they initially told my spouse that I would be summons and I needed to contact the 18777134371 number. Later on in the evening, I received a phone call from an unknown number. I answered it. It was a woman named Sharon Hall who instructed me to call the same number so I did. I called the number and someone picked up immediately... "Case number please," So I provided it. The phone sounded like I was redirected to someone else, but no on answered.. Eventually the same woman picked up and said.. Ok have you received your summons yet? and I answered No. She states, Well let me explain to you what is going on. You owe a debt to Radioshack in the amount of $900 dollars.. We are going to submit a summons for you to appear in court. You will be responsible for all fees and attorney cost.. After it is all said and done I will owe $5230. I notified her that I know radioshack sold the debt so who is it owned by. She said a "private investor" What is the name of the private investor???? well the corporate office is in Corona CA but I am in Iowa... she states. I said "I guess you can't tell me the name then?" She stated let me look at your credit report. She started naming off my mortage Company and pay down and student loans.. and then said we pulled your credit report from Experian. (My credit report shows the name of the office is Pacific Management Recovery and if you google it.. you will see multiple lawsuits and the same thing that I am reporting.. has happened to others.
I told her I will call her back and I am... They stated they can put a lien on my house and garnish my wages but I am in Texas and we don't play that way. (Texans- Refer to Texas Attorney General Website) They can't garnish my wages and put a lien on my house because my home is under homestead and my wages can't be garnished for "consumer debts" Only debts like back child support, back taxes.... etc) I got this information from the Texas Attorney Generals Office.

Secondly, my debt was charged off in 2006. I opened the account in Virginia with a Mailing address in North Carolina and I now reside in Texas... (military family)  All three states have a statue of limitation of 3 to 4 years with "opened ended accounts" All credit card debts are considered "Open Ended" by the "Truth in Lending Act."  They can summons me and I will appear but by law, the case would be dismissed because of the statute of limitations. Don't pay these people and GOOGLE the company Pacific Management Recovery.. Also, I noted on several searches that this company changes Addresses. I suggest anyone go get your Annual Free Credit report (You get one free credit report every year from the three companies Experian, Equifax, and transunion.) NO hidden Fee's I promise! I only found that this company checked my Experian credit report. I will let you know what happens.

Keeping my Head up fighting financial battle!!

this is real they saved me alot of money when i didnt have to pay court fees or an atty few they were very helpful i didnt even know i was being sued im glad i called back because if i didnt i would have missed a court date and had to deal with that on my record
why would my atty advise me to pay up if it was a scam?
they were very kinda and worked with payments i could afford over a good time period

So the when sites like this make it harder to run the scam on the phone, desperate scammers show up here. Go back to the boiler room, you crook.

The called my work yesterday.. I think thats B.S.  Told me to call an gave a case number.. It wasn't right and I will tell the,m I will sue them first for harassment attacking my way of life!!

My wife informed me that I had a phone message from "Rockwell Office." The return phone number to call was 877-713-4371. I called the number and was referred to a Mr. John Amos.  Mr. Amos proceeded to tell me that he had lawsuit papers to deliver to me.  He went on to tell me that this stemmed from an account with US Bank in which I supposedly owed $2,211.72.  This news of course came completely out of the blue.  I am a US Bank customer and have never received anything in writing that I had a delinquent account for that kind of money.  

Mr. Amos also informed me that if I wasn't prepared to make arrangements then and there, he would serve the papers to me and the amount would balloon to $4,711.72 (after penalties and interest).  First of all, lawsuit papers have to be delivered in person.  Second, I had no prior written communication from either US Bank or this Rockwell Office informing me of said claim.  

I suspected that I was being had here, so I contacted my banker at the US Bank branch I do business at.  She assured me that they had no record of my owing the bank anything.  Armed with that information, I called back and again spoke with Mr. Amos and informed him that I had just spoken with a US Bank representative and they had no record of my owing them anything.  I flat out told him that I believed he was attempting to perpetrate a fraud against me and that my next call would be to the attorney general of my state.  I haven't heard from him or anyone at Rockwell since.  

I also submitted a consumer fraud complaint with my state's attorney general's office.  They subsequently escalated it on to the FBI, because apparently the feds have been investigating this "Rockwell Office" and other similar scams for quite some time now.  

If you get a call from this Rockwell Office place, it is not legit.  Don't let them con you into anything.

Welcome to the Corona Scam.

They fake "debts" by using information obtained by illegally pulling your own credit reports, then make fake "process server" calls to your relatives to create the appearance they have "sued" you, to get you to call them back in a panic.

Their goal is to panic you into paying them to "settle" the "lawsuit" without ever providing any proof of the alleged "debt", or that you owe them.

Posting fake posts, by shills pretending they were "sued", or "found out the debt was legitimate" and "settled", is also a characteristic of this scam.

Check your credit reports (particularly Experian), and you will probably find a recent credit inquiry under one of their many names.  Their names include Prime West, Pacific Management, AF Group, PMG, ARM, HGG, Union Management, National Filing Services, Global Filing Services, City Services, and possibly others, but they are the same scam.  Your credit report gives them enough information to size you up for how much they might get from you (they can see your available credit card credit), as well as possible old accounts they can pretend you "owe" to them.

Contact FTC, your state Attorney General, the California Attorney General, the Corona Police Department, and the Riverside office of the FBI.

YOU SCAMMMMMMMMMMER>>>>I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

Jimmy jam is a scammmmmmer yall. Don't believe the posts from this person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't let these scammers posting on the board scare you.  It's a scam.  A process server would never call to make sure you are there.  Think about it people, they know where you work.  If they were trying to serve you papers, they would show up and do it.  The sheriff office doesn't call you to serve papers, they just do it!  Why would they warn people that they are coming.

Have fun in prison when this comes crumbling down losers.

Thanks for the tip.  I have already reported this to the attorney general's office of my state as well as to the FTC.  The attorney general's consumer protection division escalated my report on to the FBI.

I just got my free annual credit reports, so will be sure to check on those as you suggest.  I also put a fraud alert on my three credit bureaus.  Unfortunately, due to some past issues, my credit score isn't very high and it would be extremely difficult for anyone to obtain credit in my name.

Indeed, I hope those losers enjoy prison because it's only a matter of time before the walls come tumbling down on their scam.

As you look for credit inquiries under one of the Corona Scam LLC names, also look for promotional inquiries, that indicate your name and address information was sold by that credit reporting agency as part of a lead list, supposedly to make a "firm offer of credit".  Banks and credit card companies buy these lists to send out all those credit card offers, and they can specify what credit requirements (like outstanding debt, available credit lines, or negative information) they want in their lists.  

If, for example, some part of this scheme were buying such lists, selected for "poor credit" like yours, to have a high level of old problem accounts, maybe with lowish scores but with available credit lines, that would be an ideal "lead " list to use in this type of scam, allowing them to efficiently locate those with old negative but maybe paid or settled accounts they can claim are "debts in collection".
