Patterns in the recordings reveal a recurring theme of debt‑collection pressure, with callers repeatedly citing a vague “file number” and demanding payment for alleged payday loans. They often spoof local area codes and use automated voices that mention “CRG” without providing verifiable company details. Consumers should verify the creditor through official channels, request a written debt validation notice, and avoid sharing personal data over the phone. If the call seems suspicious, block the number, report it to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection agency, and consider placing a credit freeze.
Over a period of four days, I received repeated voicemails from a local number requesting a callback to a different number, 912-406-0995, regarding a specific file. The voices sounded automated.
One might question the decision not to report this incident to the CFPB. Furthermore, it's puzzling why the debt collector was contacted, given they were not the ones making the initial call.
They contacted me and my husbands phone, I returned the call and they had acess to all my personnal informations, including my social secirity number, they claimed I had a payday loan from 2018 that was never payed, I informed the lady I wasnt aware of what she was talking about, she then thretned me with a lawsuit, I politely ended the conversation and reported them to the attorney general, also I froze my credit
Repeatedly receiving calls with a reference number is getting out of hand, it's clearly a scam and needs to stop
Given the timeframe for responding to a lawsuit, it's clear that courts operate on a slower timeline, allowing 28 to 30 days for a reply and potential counter suit. All other necessary information has been previously discussed.
The caller claimed that I had an outstanding loan from 2019 and threatened to take legal action, place a lien on my car, freeze my bank accounts, and garnish my wages if the issue was not resolved immediately.
After receiving a voicemail about an important business matter, I was directed to call back at this number, which was answered by an after-hours recording that didn't identify the company.
It's importint to note that debt collectors are alowed to call, text, and email, as well as send letters, the law doesnt requier them to send a letter before first contact, so it's not a scam just becuse they didnt send a letter.
This morning, a voicemail was left with a cryptic message stating that the caller was from CRG and needed to discuss an important business matter, providing a callback number of 912-406-0995 and referencing a supposedly fake file number.
The information you're requesting is already available in this thread, so it's unclear why you're unable to find it
Having received the same call, there is concern about how to report this incident, given that they possessed my social security number.
You dont need to know anything about the loan, just make them follow the law
Apparently, I supposedly have an outstanding debt from a 2019 pay day loan, which I have no memory of.
It's worth noting that Wells Fargo, being a large bank, does not offer payday loans, and all relevant information has been previously posted
A call was made to my mother's landline concerning an old payday loan from Wells Fargo. The caller had access to personal information and became aggressive, demanding payment and threatening legal action before hanging up. Subsequent calls were met with no response.
I kept recieving calls at my workplace, with recorded messsages stating it was a personal matter. I called the number back and informed them the person no longer worked there, and they said they would remove the number from their system, but the number they had on file was for a completly diferent person.
Initially, I received a call from 4436379574, and when I answered, they mentioned a Cash Net USA loan from 3/2019 that was allegedly unresolved, which I knew was false; they also had access to my personal information, including my name, number, address, and a closed bank account.
An automated message requested that I contact CRG regarding an important business matter, providing a phone number and reference number
It is essencial that they provide you with certain informations at the begining of the conversation, including a mini-Miranda warning, and you must be informed of your right to dispute the debt withing 30 days of reciept
It seems that if a number is spoofed then it's imposible to track the origon of the call, the FCC and FTC would have an easy time tracking peoples down if it was that easy, the BBB is useless
Using a app that cost me 29$ per month, i was able to see the real number of the caller, and it was 912-406-0995, thats why i think is a scam, leggit companys dont hide ther numbers
Upon researching the number, it appears that CRG is associated with this phone number, which has a website, and they seem to use local area codes to mask their calls, including 912-406-0995.
Everyone els is saying that the DC name is CRG, but where did you get that information from, did you try calling the number back
First Point and Associates is reportedly using spoofed numbers, often with a local prefix, which is a clear indication of a scamming tactic, making it essential to block such calls.
Automated voice mentioned an account
They claim that the issu dates back 4 to 5 years, and despite my daily recieved calls, I finaly answered and was given 6 diferent explanasions
I strongly believe this number is associated with a scam and have taken steps to block it
Received a suspicious call regarding an unknown bill.
Recieved a message from them reguarding a suposed bill I owe.
This call appears to be a scam, referencing a fake debt and attempting to deceive the recipient
