I got the same call but from a Charles Cartwright who left a message on my voicemail. I get a zillions of these calls every week, but for some reason I decided to call this one back and get all the info I could on this particular scam. I asked them to mail me all the information on teh "loan" which of course they said they would not do but instead would email me. They then emailed me 2 pieces of paper that looked like a 5-year-old typed them! So I reported them to the NY State Attorney General and was soon afterwards contacted by a very nice person from the AG's consumer complaints department. He told me to email him the documents that I received, and that his office was going to investigate and try to smoke these people out! If anyone gets any type of correspondence from Lakefront Processing Solutions, either by phone or email, The NYS AG says to IMMEDIATELY file a complaint with them at www.ag.ny.gov and open a file. The more information they have, the better their chances of finding these fraudsters and prosecuting them! GOod luck

Someone called my sister's house last night giving a claim number and 866-205-5871 as a call back number. This same company called my work, cell phone, and house in February. Callers were rude and vague stating they needed to verify information. I told them I wasn't verifying anything and that if they have papers for me to sign they can mail them. I told my sister if they call her again, to tell them that they know how to reach me and that she's filing harassment charges if they call her again.

I have to say the same thing just happened to me today. Her name was Liz Williams. She is very stern when she left a voice mail and said that she is going to serve me at home and work. They call from a NO CALLER ID, to mask themselves. I have left msgs, no return calls from this company. There are collections laws... And whatever debt they are calling about, I am sure is 6 yrs old or so and this company just bought it out...

My step-son was getting phone calls saying they needed to verify my address to serve with "sealed" papers. He was given the 866-570-9644 number and a claim number. Later during the day, all day, started receiving calls from *1 on caller id from a woman very mean threatening me telling me I needed to call the above number and figure it out she was going to serve. Rick Draves made a payment arrangement with me tried adding $200 on to whatever they thought I owed and I gave them $50 with arrangment for 3 future payments. I have cancelled the payments. I asked Rick for his company information and told him I worked for attorneys and that I'd be checking into this to see how legit he was he didn't seem to care and insisted he was. The address given is a post office address.

I have had several of my family contacted in regards to collections on my wife. Happens two or three times a year every year for the past two years. They are all scams. I have gleaned helpful info from posts on 800notes.com and other such sites and I want to pass it on in hopes that others will benefit.
I have created and given the following script to my family in the event they should get more calls;
“Yes I know him/her but this is not a number he/she can be reached at, please remove it from your records and do not call here again. In regards to your presumed claim, if it is legitimate then you should already have his/her address on file to send him/her a "validation notice" per FTC regulations and I’m sure he/ she will respond. Any further calls to this number in regards to this matter or any other matter will be reported to my local Sheriffs dept; my state attorney general’s office and The Federal Trade Commission.”
Then politely end the call.
Also the FTC and CFPB have material at the following sites so you can do more research on US federal collection law it is highly recommended that you educate yourself to handle these matters wither they are legitimate collection agencies or scammers.

Got a call today, saying they are going to serve me papers if I don't pay them 599.00. I ask them send me paper work on the loan, I supposedly have a bank in California and I live in Kentucky. Never been to California. They are scams going to report to the sheriff department.

Did you ever actually get served papers? I am going through the same issue with this company, and refused to pay them anything and they said I would be served at my work, and said good luck in court and hung up. They contacted my mom and brother and I finally called them back and asked them to stop and also asked for an address to send a letter in writing to stop calling my relatives since they had gotten hold of me. They couldn't give me an address, and they transferred me to another dept for my request, and I had to leave a message and no one ever called me back. Did you end up getting served papers?

YES they have called me 10 times a day for a few weeks, threating voice mails, with the phone number blocked. They called family members of mine in different states they must have found on the internet. I think they bought old cash call/Delbert services accounts that were deemed illegal and uncollectible.

WATCH OUT! - VERY SLICK
Said they were a "law firm!" representing Vandelier Group (payday loans) or the BMG Group, regarding a payday loan I never received. Was very nice on the phone, however did tell me that I would be served with papers at work if I didn't resolve my issues, that my debt would exponentially higher if they had to go through legal proceedings, would have to inform my place of employment about my situation, etc. ALL of which is illegal.
VERY slick - not at all like the usual scammers who lack the ability to speak English clearly or can't keep their Tempers in check. They also refused to give me an address OR a PO box.

I received a call today from Ava Monroe, stating she had papers to serve me and I needed to call Lakefront Processing. I told her I would talk to my Lawyer and have him call her back. Contacted my lawyer he is going to contact the AG in NY to file a claim. This has to be the biggest scam out there. Please be careful when these scum bags call.
