Goldstein Associates

Absolute total SCAM. They alternately use the names GM & Associates, Goldstein Associates, Goldstein & Associates.....No matter what name variation they are using this week, it's still the same SCAM. Typical scare tactics: Initial call/message (Usually from an unknown number) says that there are pending charges, litigation being filed, all sorts of scary legalese & financial mumbo-jumbo that must be responded to within 48 hours or else. Once you take the bait & call them back at 855-235-3436, then they really turn up the heat, trying to convince you that money is owed on a phantom loan or mystery debt from several years back, & if you don't resolve it immediately, then they will file charges against you. It's easy to see how consumers still fall for these scams: Once they start hitting you with all the court jargon & legal BS, & mix it in with bits & pieces of personal info, most people are frightened into paying up no questions asked. Of course, once you start asking too many questions of them, then the tables are turned & they are ready to cut the call short.....Don't fall for it!!! Get as much info from them as you can, then report them to local authorities. I feel bad for all the hundreds of real companies & firms named "Goldstein", because these jokers are going to ruin all their reputations.....Damn shame.

I received a call from Iowa yesterday afternoon. Judith Crosby left me a voice-mail with pre-trial intervention stating I had a pending case in her office. She should said, I have up to 5:00pm to callback before my case would be submitted. I called back and Attorney Paul Davis from investigation picked up the phone. He started yelling at me, saying I did bank fraud, check fraud. It was a class 3 felony. He said I had either two options give a statement or pay 1100 of restitution. I asked him to send me verification of proof. He said he didn't have anything to prove then hung up on me. I called back asked him where he was located and he said Idaho then Iowa. I was threatened with having my case submitted to the attorney general office of NY and having arrest warrant issued and being picked up. Then I was told I can go and post bond to get out of jail and go in front of a Judge and try to prove myself. I'm very sad and disgusted. So I went researching through the Internet and did not come up with Goldstein & Associates. I could not find Attorney Paul Davis. I looked up the business number and it was a Verizon cellphone number. I'm very scared as a unhealthy woman this man put me through unnecessary stress yesterday. He had all my information. So I know for a fact my identity has been stolen. I wanted to put my story out there because this is completely wrong. You do not hurt people this way.
