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.

    found a hornets nest
    Just recieved a call at my work even though it clearly states that the number is for my team and no personal messages are to be left.  The number they left was 855-206-4324 with all of the foaming at the mouth "you have until the end of the day to call, you have been notified" drivel that you can expect from these morons.  Not a thing was done as reputable collector would do.  The thieves are back at work.

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the name of this law breaker and thief is Kendra Long.  Any interested member of law enforcement can reach this criminal at 855-206-4324.  I would love to to know where this parasite works but that's information a legitimate debt collector would give.

      Supposedly call themselves "global".

      "Global" was used as part of one of the old "Corona" names.

      It also showed up in complaints of even scammier fake debt shakedowns too thin to trace.

      Run the number down through your phone company.
      Find out their VoIP telecom.

    They claim my friend owes money and i have to pay it for them  "

    "talked to Shavon Johnson and she asked if I knew what type of company they were and I stated a dept collection co and she said no. "
    "He also advised that I was on his "schedule" to come to my work or residence to serve me papers"
    "I do find this very odd and believe that this is a scam since I do not owe any money to debt collectors....."
    "I also called them and would not give company name."
    "I received a call from a Mike Gervais who said he worked for a place called Vision One. He wanted to come out and serve me papers."
    "I called the number back spoke to some lady who said my sister use me as a co-signer 3 years ago and I needed to report to court. "
    "She was calling on something I paid off over 4 years ago!!!!  She kept saying the papers show I owe 15 times more that what I paid!!.....she put me on hold claiming to talk to some attorneys and came by wanting to make a deal less that half of what she originally quoted me!!  "
    "he replied from a check loan that I got 5 years ago. I had thout this was taken care of years ago. I asked him to tell me the exact amount that I borrowed and he wouldn't."

    Deception includes implying or pretending to be "attorneys".

    One shill post shows up.

    Note numerous attempts to collect when clearly no debt is owed, using unproven "cosigning" claims, etc.  They are adapting their pitch to match the victim, implying a con, not debt collection of real owed debt.

    Several reports of attempting to collect on trumped up old paid payday loans.  May have just conned the consumer into thinking an old loan was being collected on, or may indicate access to credit reports.  

    May also indicate they are buying old payday loan debt information out the back door of some other debt collector, and working the really old junk, including paid and settled "debt".

    Report of calling when the alleged debt was supposedly owed by a friend may indicate use of skip-tracing.  They could also just be browsing social networking sites.

    No address reported by anyone.  Never any validation, use of talk-offs when people ask for proof, implies they have nothing, and couldn't get it if they tried.  They are making this up.

    Complaint start date of Jan. 2012 is consistent with a Corona Scam or CMAG spin-off.

    No location, but style of con, and aliases, sound like "Buffalo" area.

    Does not appear to have the usual Corona-style separation between callers and closers.
    May be just  a small number of people, which would be consistent with no "portfolio", and no need to employ and totally fake "debt".

    Nothing at all shows up in BBB under "Civil Claims Bureau" or "855-294-0886".

    There is a debt collector called "Vision Financial", but their complaints differ from these "shakedown" reports.

    Vision One may be their telecom.  They may have failed to change their caller id, and had to talk their way out of what it showed.

    You might contact Vision One, and ask them if the number is one of theirs.

    "For Release: 08/01/2013
    At FTC's Request, Court Orders Halt to Debt Collector's Illegal Practices, Freezes Assets
    Defendants Allegedly Broke the Law by Posing as Process Servers, Threatening Lawsuits, and Contacting Consumers’ Employers and Family Members in Violation of Their Privacy
    At the request of the Federal Trade Commission, a U.S. district court has halted a debt collection operation that allegedly extorted payments from consumers by using false threats of lawsuits and calculated campaigns to embarrass consumers by unlawfully communicating with family members, friends, and coworkers.  The court order stops the illegal conduct, freezes the operation’s assets, and appoints a temporary receiver to take over the defendants’ business while the FTC moves forward with the case.

    The lawsuit, part of the FTC’s continuing crackdown on scams that target consumers in financial distress, charged four individuals and seven companies.  The FTC alleged that the defendants were part of an elaborate debt collection scheme operating from locations in Orange and Riverside counties in California, and that they used various business names including Western Performance Group, as well as fictitious names, which they changed frequently to avoid law enforcement scrutiny.

    The FTC alleged that the defendants called consumers and their employers, colleagues, and family members posing as process servers or law office employees, and claimed they were seeking to deliver legal papers that purportedly related to a lawsuit.  In some instances, the defendants threatened that consumers would be arrested if they did not respond to the calls.  But the debt collectors were not process servers or law office employees, and the defendants did not file lawsuits against the consumers.  The FTC charged that the defendants’ false and misleading claims violated the FTC Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.  In addition, the FTC alleged that the defendants violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by:

    ..improperly contacting third parties about consumers’ debts;
    ..failing to disclose the name of the company they represented, or the fact that they were attempting to collect a debt, during telephone calls to consumers; and
    ..failing to notify consumers of their right to dispute and obtain verification of their debts.

    The complaint names as defendants Thai Han; Jim Tran Phelps; Keith Hua; James Novella; One FC, LLC, also doing business as Western Performance Group and WPG; Credit MP, LLC, also doing business as AFGA, CMP, AFG & Associates, AF Group, Allied Financial Group, and Allied Guarantee Financial; Western Capital Group, Inc., also doing business as ERA, LMR, WCG, and WC Group; SJ Capitol LLC, also doing business as SCG; Green Fidelity Allegiance, Inc., also doing business as WRA; Asset and Capital Management Group; and Crown Funding Company, LLC.
