Harassment
Complaint
Debra M. Persiano
Country: United States
I got a call today at home from a man stating he was a process server for Collin County DA's Office and he is with the Sheriff's office and needed to come serve a warrant on me. I was shocked and asked why? He stated do you live ....are you still at this address are you now at this address and I stated who are you? He again, stated he was from the county going to serve court papers on me today. He gave me a toll free number for what he stated was the county's office which is 1 866.872.6116 gave me a case no. which he called a Cause No. 008307-TX. I called the number was transferred to a Mr. Fisher's office who stated that law suite in the amount of $6,214.24 was filed in Collin Co., Tx and that warrant was out for me. He then after back and forth said let me get more information from my secretary and state this was for an outstanding debt in from Capital One a credit card that I obtained several years back and had disputes over interest charges etc. He stated that if I did not want to go to court or jail that I could pay $1,951.00 in full by end of business today and this matter could be cleared up. I explained that I recently lost my job etc. Anyway, he stated that I needed to call him back by EOB today or they will serve the papers. Ok, so that was a heads up for me. I called the DA's office nothing is filed on me as of today, after searching PMG it is clear that they do not practice best practices for collections and have been in trouble for this before back in 2004. I need someone to give me advise. I want to pay off my debt, I don't want this type of collections to continue this upset me, made my blood pressure raise, this type of collections are not the right thing to do. Had they called and ask to make arrangements or give me an opportunity to clear the matter, rather then threaten me by taken legal action, or harassment stating they are sending a sheriff over today. This is wrong, bad business, and should not continue this company is bad news.

If you have any information or think you have been a victim of one of the 30+ collection agencies (see partial list below) we believe are or were operated by Thai Han, Jim Phelps or Stewart Phillips (the guys who apparently taught Wayne Lunsford everything he knows), in and around Corona/Santa Ana/Orange/Lake Elsinore/San Bernadino/Ontario California - my attorneys and I want to hear from you.

Finding more victims such as Ms. Jenkins in Cincinnati to whom Han recently paid $22k for pretty much the identical fact pattern helps my case by showing a pattern and practice of unlawful behavior over a period of time, thereby establishing to the satisfaction of a court of law that the defendants (owners, managers, key employees and LLC registrants, fictitious business name registrants, etc.) were aware of the unlawful behavior and chose to ignore it or worse, participated in it - thereby opening EACH OF them up to personal liability. In law it's a concept known as "piercing the corporate veil".
In that case, the defendants' (Han, Phelps, Phillips, Mathews, Pagayonan, Murphey, Novella, Dorsey, Hua, Chi, January, Newton, Page, Key, et. al) personal assets (i.e., homes, vehicles, bank accounts etc.) can be seized to pay the $10,086,000.00 judgment - which DOESN"T include my attorneys' legal fees - which will be extra.
If any of them were smart, they'd contact my attorneys sooner rather than later.

While you track down the Han managers, and FTC ties up the assets, it looks like Harlow is going after the Begley and Lunsford managers.
By the way, a couple stragglers, with roots in the same area, showed up in South Florida, with the same MO.
How are Thai Han, Begley and Lunsford getting along these days?
All the other names listed in the post are we too assume these are owners or managers or who exactly are they and have they been served by the sheriff's yet?
See here near the end of the article:

Not that you agree to make a payment....BUT you can always ask them where you can mail a payment as a ploy to try to get their address.
I also recommend that if you receive one of these calls, pull a FREE copy of the alleged debtor's credit report to determine what company actually accessed the credit report on or near the date of the call. That will likely reveal your perp.
Free credit reports can be had from this link with the Federal Trade commission:

Virtually nothing shows up against that number, except possible searches by others.
"documented case on me "
"there was nothing else he could do to help me"
"Topped off the call with an ominous if you don't call back good luck to you."
The wording is typical of the fake Indian "debt collector" shakedowns.
Nothing against the number is also typical, as they often change their numbers every month or so, so there is often only a short trail of complaints, if any.
With the Indian scams, the debts are generally entirely fake fabrications, not even some "error in skip-tracing". If they have any id information, they usually get it either on the internet, or from fake "payday loan application" websites. To get paid, they usually have to con you into sending money via Western Union or Moneygram, or by getting a prepaid debit card at Walmart.
Any thick accents?
Did you tell them who you worked for, or did they already know that?
If they already had it, that might imply they are using skip-tracing services like Accurint.
It might also imply access to credit reports, which can show employer information.
If so, that shifts the liikelihood away from the Indian scammers to some rogue U.S. debt collector.
Sounds like they are already playing the "prosecution" game.
As part of this game, they often pretend to be with or at "the DA's office", or "the courthouse", etc. Sometimes they get it wrong, in the local details, like what city they are supposed to be in, the name of the county, etc.
If they claimed they were calling to "serve papers", include that phrase, so Google can find it.
