?Ever wondered why a random call claims you owe a decade‑old debt? Most of the reports flag a pattern: a voice‑mail that sounds like a debt collector, threatens legal action, and already knows personal details. The safest move is to hang up, avoid sharing any info, and never send money without verified paperwork. Block the number, report it to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection agency, and check your credit for unauthorized accounts. Consider using a call‑blocking app and keep a written log of each call. Staying skeptical and documenting everything usually stops the harassment fast.
Taking action against these crooks, including reporting them and seeking legal representation, can help put an end to their harassment
It's clear that this is a fraudulent scheme, which is evident from the repeated posting of relevant information in this thread that was blatantly ignored
My experience is similar to what others have reported, receiving a call from 209-877-7606, claiming that I would be served with a summons unless I called 877-786-8864, and when I did, they claimed to be collecting a debt, but I'm now suspicious that it may be a scam.
An encounter with a fraudulent caller claiming to represent Fulton County Fraud, who asserted a non-existent debt, was met with skepticism, particularly given the aggressive tone and unrealistic threats.
Wright and payne consultants contact me every 3 month, demanding $451 for court cost, i'm unsure if this company is legit
This number has been contacting an old office number, claiming I owe a debt from a past cash advance.
Similarly, I received a call stating I owed a bank $3000, but after verifying with the banks and conducting a case search in my county, it became clear that it was a scam.
I've had a positive experience with Wright and Payne, as they assisted in resolving an issue and updated my credit bureau.
The similarity is notable.
I recieved a call from this number and a guy claimed he had papers for me to sign, but when i called back the number was disconnected, a lady then told me i owed money for a payday loan which i had allready filed for bankruptcy in 2015.
A threatening call was received, demanding payment of $526 related to a past payday loan, with the warning of potential legal action if not paid. Despite having fully settled the debt, no documentation or receipt was provided, and attempts to contact the caller have been unsuccessful, with the line being constantly busy. The caller identified herself as Katherine James.
There is alot of usefull informations in this thread, if you dont bother reading and lerning from it, then you will have to lern the hard way
First of, you shud ask yourself, do you owe eni mony to enibody, if not, then thats your ansr
The legitimacy of this company is uncertain
It's puzzling that they havent been caught yet
Recently, mine was sent to state and national AG office via email. They seemed suspicious on the other end of the line, sounding unprofesional.
It appears that American Legal Services has access to sensitive information, including full social security numbers and personal data, indicating a potential breach of creditor security
Our business was shut down due to an alleged incident from 10 years ago, and we were forced to pay nearly four hundred dollars; despite promises, no paperwork was ever sent, and we suspect they are scam artists.
I'm unsure whether this is a legitimate number, as the caller requested money during our conversation last week.
It's odd that you're inquiring about American Legal Services when they've already been identified as the caller
Let me try to translate the intent behind this number.
You should try to post that again in proper english, so someone can actualy understand what you are trying to say.
I recieved two robot calls from 8662813039, which is linked to 8558111682, and a companie in texas, and also to wright and payne interior decorators in new york, i am totaly confused about who recieved the money...
The caller was not a person, but rather an automated machine, which is quite amusing
The DA's involvement in debt cases, which can lead to lawsuits, is a concern; these scammers threaten such actions, and unpaid debt is a serious issue worldwide, so a call blocker app is recommended.
I had a similar experience with a caller claiming to be Mrs. Stone, which I suspect is a scam
A call was made to my father's cell phone, claiming I had a debt from 2012, threatening wage garnishment if not paid, which was alarming given their access to the last four digits of my social security number.
Repeated calls have been made, stating that I'm being served with legal documents.
The caller identified themselves as WPC and threatened legal action if I didn't comply with their request.
This number is associated with WRIGHT & PAYNE CONSULTANTS
