Called me asking about my daughter saying she owned money from pay day loans. She called them back. She said that she owed 1300 but they would take off the 700 and could pay the rest in 3 payments. Also she said she would give me a personal loan. (hello what) So my other daughter called back and she started asking what they wanted told them her name was a different name to 3 people didn't know why they called. She said she knew it was a scam and the lady freaked out on her.

    Fake "loans", known as "advance fee" loan scams.

    my son got a call on his cell phone regarding me and asked him to verify my ss#. I called them and they were not clear as to why they were calling me and insisted I give them my ss# to verify who I said I was. The person on the other end of the phone was ignorant, rude and harassing. I had to put a block on my phone to stop their calls. I'm handicapped and disabled and they kept pushing for my ss#. Something is so wrong with this company.

      They did this to me as well, very rude, threatened that I would be served with papers, and go to my place of employment.  I haven't worked since 2013 due to a neurological disorder and having neurosurgeries.  It's a scam, I filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, hopefully with enough complaints they can put a stop to this.

        Hello. Depending upon the proof you have (saved voice messages on phone and cell from these "844" numbers tying back to this group, you'll need to contact a law firm like Lemberg Law, which is out of New York State, as is this "Becker Group," located at 3840 E. Robinson Road, #483, Amherst, NY  14228-2001. I already have two recorded messages saved and I hope I'm by my phone when the next call comes, which will be put on speaker and recorded on my cell phone.

        I'm going to turn the tables on THEM, letting them know that I'll be copying MY ATTORNEY on the Cease and Desist letter I'll be sending to them, and since I have PROOF of what are now THREE incidents of violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act since this call is being RECORDED, they're on the hook for $1,000 PER VIOLATION and I DO INTEND UPON PROSECUTING THEM, absent receipt of a check for three thousand dollars. Then I'll say that if they think I'm bluffing, WATCH ME!

        I just wonder at which point during my recorded spiel, I'll hear "click!" Then I'm STILL going after them, since someone needs to teach these [***] a lesson!

    I got a phone call from the 844# from a "Mr. Adams", said he was calling from the Becker group and that I owed a check into cash payday loan. I told him to send sometime of correspondence in the mail and he said he didn't have to. He said that I would have someone come to my house and I would be served and he would see me in.court! The Becker group isn't BBB accredited so I really don't know if this is a scam or what. He did call 4 times in less than 2 minutes. Called twice and the second times left 1 voicemail then called back twice more bac to back

      Melissa, if you have proof of all of this, like saved voicemails (NEVER erase B.S. collection calls, since they are EVIDENCE) and call records on your call log showing you were called as many times as you were in such short time periods, you may want to contact Timothy at the Lemberg Law Firm, also out of NY at 855-301-2100. He suggested that I call them back and find out what they wanted from my FATHER, who is DECEASED, and after I gave them an earful about Dad never owing anyone a DIME in his life and sent a Cease and Desist letter copying Timothy at the Lemberg Firm, I never did hear from the other bottom feeders instead. You can "Google" The Becker Group Scam Collection Agency for their full mailing address. First call Timothy and see if you are past the Statute of Limitations to pursue "collectors" who violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and depending upon the proof you have, Timothy's firm may be able to go after them and they'll be fined $1,000 per violation, money which I believe goes to you, as Plaintiff.

I told her my son n law and son is in collections. shoot her best shot

      Contacting someone at work about an alleged "debt" and threatening them with legal action no less, are separate violations of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA). If you are able to produce proof that you were contacted at work and your statute of limitations hasn't run, a law firm like the Lemberg Group 855-301-2100 may be able to after them for violating the FDCPA.

      I had them help me when some other bottom-feeding, NY-based collection agency started making harassing phone calls looking for my Dad who had just passed away two months before. Despite screaming at these [***] that my Dad had died, they still kept calling. It was stressing me out too much so I went online and found a sympathetic law firm who took care of it for me and never billed me a dime, which I said they could bill me, since I'm sure it only took them 15 minutes to get a hold of "Mr. Big" and tell him to cut the crap and back the f*** off of our family!

      Lorraine replies to Sharyn
      Whoa, whoa, WHOA there Sharyn, that is a dead-to-rights violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, I can assure you! Did another individual field that call who can attest to that? Did that person actually put Joe Blow through to your boss? If so, is your boss able to provide information as to what was said? If so, you may want to contact the Lemberg Firm at 855-301-2100. They are in the business of going after bottom feeders. You may want to call quickly if the Statute of Limitations is only a year, but they handled this Hudson Valley Collections [***], when they started calling our home looking for my Dad, two months after he passed away. Dad never owed ANYONE a dime in his life, but even after screaming at them, they kept calling. It was stressing me out too much so I went online and found the Lemberg Firm, who was all too familiar with the scumbag collection agency harassing me. The lawyer there said he'd take care of it and for me to send a "Cease and Desist" letter copying him on it, and that would be that. And it was. I never heard from them again, and wasn't charged a dime when I was willing to pay a lawyer to get these people to leave us alone!

      Please call Timothy at the Lemberg Law Firm 855-301-2100, tell him what happened and if you have any proof (saved voice messages, for example). Ask him if you could forward him your complaint filed with the AG's office. They won't do anything, maybe not even pass it off to the Department of Consumer Affairs, who handles these matters.

      ALWAYS send a Cease and Desist Letter IMMEDIATELY after incidents like this. Some great ones can be found using Google. The Becker Group's physical address is 3840 E. Robinson Road, #483, Amherst, NY 14228-2001.

      I found this firm on Google after a scumbag collector kept calling and asking for my Dad, who had just passed away and never owed anyone a DIME. They told me to send them a C&D letter, copy their firm on it, and then they would place a phone call to "Mr. Big" over there and I'd never hear from them again. And I HAVEN'T.

    I received a threat on my cell phone to have me "prosecuted to the full extent of the law" by these dirtbags.  When I called back the number they left, it does not take incoming calls,   716-210-8336.   I am sending a cease and desist letter today.  If everyone knows these bottom feeders are running a scam, why arent they stopped?
