I received a call yesterday from Norm Cooper at RJA Capital, 310.410.2066 in Syracuse stating that my son owes a little over $900 due to a loan he claims he never took out on-line. Norm had my cell phone number, my address and my sons address. He conference me in to the Process Server who indicated a summons was being served to my son last night if I did not settle payment with RJA! I paniced and provide them my debit card number to make a payment of $150.00. Norm indicated that he would send me an email with all of the back-up including the loan my son took out! needless to say, I have not received any emails, not has the $150.00 been deducted from my account as of this morning. I guess I should cancel my debit card? I left a message for Norm this morning. We will see if he calls back. Deep in my heart I knew it was a scam, but stupid me fell for it to protect my son!

1) Call and threaten a relative first, even when they know how to locate the alleged "debtor".
2) Threats of some "lawsuit", implied by threatening to "serve papers".
3) No "papers" ever served, no "lawsuit" filed with the local courthouse.
4) Claiming to have information on the alleged "debt", which somehow is never forthcoming.
5) Attempt to extort a relative, when it's not even legal for debt collectors to disclose debt details to third parties.
Same old scam. This is not "debt collection".
Getting money through phone threats is what it's all about.
Thank you so much.
That is what they did to me. A woman called a 3rd party, then stated the nature of her call that I was going to be sued and I needed to call Timothy Greenstone right away at a (786) area code number. I called out of curiosity and got a recording stating his name and that he is a case specialist?
I'm glad I had a chance to see this website before actually talking with him. Thank you for your posts.
