Got a phone call from 877-214-8382, which then redirected to 877-215-5089 (when I hit 0 for the operator) regarding a supposed location search for my sister.  Ignored their call yesterday but answered this morning.  Spoke to some bored sounding guy, who mangled my sister's name (first hint that this isn't legit since it's not that hard), asking if I was her.  Told him no, it's my sister.  He asked if I was in touch with my sister and if I'd forward along their phone number so they could contact her.  I asked what company he was with and what this was regarding.  He said Forward Movement Recovery (which I did a quick google search for and found multiple complaint boards/scammer warnings) and that it was about some collection debt.  I told him I googled his company and it came up as a scam and I would not be willing to pass scammer information to my sister.  He got huffy and rude, said he wasn't a scammer and told me to "tell her good luck with the debt then" and hung up.  Yup, totally a professional and legitimate organization there...

Definitely not legit.

    I got a call from this number today also.  They told me that I took out 2 payday loans years ago from companies I've never heard of.

      so I got a call from completely different numbers saying they were going to call everyone in my call list to collect a debt from 5 years ago from an online cash advance "LASER LENDING" never did anything remotely similar. that's ludicrous. so for all the payday lender scams out there are laws for people like you that protect people like me.  same nasty , rude, people think they are scaring people. A local Virginia number with a toll free number and a NY address.  FBI report is in the works as we speak. STAY ALERT AND STAY ALIVE!

    received 1 call with message to call 877-351-9020 re: a certain person.   Never heard of that person so called the number and conversed with a rude male.  I told him this was a scam and he got rather hostile and insisted we had to call the person in question and give him the number.  I hung up and received a recorded message the next day with a new number to call------877-359-6814.

    877-395-0325   Forward Movement Recovery trying to collect on a payday loan.   I have never had a payday loan, never banked where they claim the money was deposited, never lived at the address they have, never worked where they verified employment.  They refuse to provide written verification and claim they do not have to follow the laws of the Fair Debt Collection Act (federal law).  It's a SCAM

    I have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission but it may take months to get them shut down.

    I got a message yesterday needing a location of someone with the same last name as I........so I called them back and left a message stating my phone number (not my name) and to stop calling this number because we do not know of this person they are looking for. Forward Movement Recovery is who they claim to be. I also tried looking it up and found nothing.

    These jerks called me today, wanting the location of a person with my last name. A recorded female voice further told me if they could not verify the information through me, the law allows them to.....blah, blah, blah,  just like Brandy, who posted 22 Dec. 2016. I called back with questions. The jerk got rude, and I hung up, then called back and dialed zero, hoping to get someone else, but got the jerk. The number that called me was 1 877 454 7165.
