Fed up with scams
Country: United States
Got a message from This company called Goldman & associates claiming that they were going to have me served or arrested on my job if I didn't pay them that day.  They called from 414-882-2174.  They said It was about a payday loan they said I took out in 2006.  The told me my ss#, name of a bank I had years ago and names of people I know.  I asked them for and address and phone number to the payday loan company and they refused.  They said they are paperless.  So I asked for goldman and Associstes address and they still refused.  They said if I paid they would send me an email with payment arrangements and all the information about the payday loan and addresses.  They said they only take credit or prepaid debit cards.  I was so scared that I paid $200 and they sent me an email that came from an online signature company called Docu sign for me to sign.  With the name CT Financial as the company that processed my payment.  There were several phone numbers through out the email as if they were for the payday company and Goldman and Associates as well as for CT Financial.  But when I called each different number they all are answered by Goldman and Associates.  Now I've realized that they have several numbers they are using.  I'm worried that because I signed that email signature can they have me arrested or summoned if I don't pay them anymore money or have obligated or excepted responsibility to them?  I have since filed a police report and filed a complaint with the FTC, The SC Attorney Generals office as well as with the BBB.

    Yeah, "PAPERLESS".  That's a dead giveaway right there that this isn't legit.

    Anything that is about getting served or legal notices are done ON PAPER and there is some proof that the papers were delivered to you.

    They want your money but they don't want a paper trail.  Tell them that they just called a phone sex line and that you spent 3 minutes on the phone with them at $5.00 per minute.  Tell them you need your $15 bucks but that you won't give them an invoice.

    See how they like that!

    Got a prerecorded message yesterday and today from 313-347-8634. I called yesterday and nobody answered. Called back today and someone finally answered the phone. She stated that she was calling from Goldman and Associates (law firm), but would not give an address. Stated that I took out a cash advance online and that they are going to issue a summons at my place of employment or home. When I asked for proof she stated that I would receive it when I received the warrant. When I stated that I was going to talk to our local police and DA she got hostile and hung up the phone. Her name was Cindy or Sydney Greer. Sad thing is they had my SSN.

          This company called me as well. They would not give me their address. They call me from different numbers. Danielle Green says she's a supervisor and Zoe Donovan works under her. Danielle is very,very rude,she puts words in your mouth and wants to over talk you. When I asked her what address she sent communication to, she was unable to verify any addresses. When I asked her what was the name of the collection agency, she told me the collection agencies varies. They told me I had to pay $180 by 8 am this morning, and if I do not pay, they was gonna have documents sent to my home or employment. O never heard of these people and never received anything in writing via mail.

    I got the same call today, fortunately I have been dealing with 20+ other so called scam debt collectors, same story about court, legal documents delivered to my home or work. They are getting a list from somewhere with our information on it and most likely we either applied for a payday loan or filled out an application that is sent to many payday loan companies. Not one of these 20+ debt collectors have taken me to court or supplied valid proof of debt. I paid all my payday loans from almost 7-8 years ago, and these companies are hoping you have forgotten if you paid the loan off or not. One of the 20 debt collectors told me a different payday loan company, I called that company to verify I took a loan out with them and they stated there is no record of me ever taking out a loan. Any other company called me and I told them to take me to court, I've waited and waited. Well a couple months later I tried to call them back and their number was disconnected. Typical scam artist to keep a number live for a couple months, get as many suckers as they can, scare them into paying and then close up shop and more on. Ignore these calls or answer and just screw with them.

    I received a call from Goldman & Associates also and they told me that I owed $300 for Quick Pay and I was really scared so I paid it back in January 2014, but after reading all of your responses today I feel like I was scammed.  I contacted my bank today and they are going to investigate it for me....wish me luck. I feel like a fool :(

    Probably no "Goldman" there, either..

    Fake "debt collectors" like to use Jewish sounding names to take advantage of common stereotypes, since to some people it sounds like a "Jewish law firm".  When you look behind the veil of these scams, you find the names are just made up.

      "Goldman" has a history.. replies to Probably no "Goldman" there, either..
      The profile, including playing "law firm", matches typical Buffalo-style scam collection rackets.

      There's a trail of complaints reporting the name going back several years, including BBB reports from Cleveland tracking it to a scam debt collector in a strip mall, with possible ties to Buffalo.  The striip mall site was already abandoned by the time BBB followed up.

    I have received a call twice now from Goldman and Associates. They have no physical address they said and no mail comes in or out, also said they are a collection agency. I sake where there head quarters were located and all the lady had to say was, "good luck in court" then hung up. They was using two previous last names I had several years ago, and that I would be served at place of employment or residence. I done a little checking and figured it was a scam. Now I'm sure it is. So beware of anyone calling and leaving messages like this. I am just gonna wait and see if I get served!! Lol

    Must be..
    Living in some "paranormal dimension".

    "They have no physical address they said and no mail comes in or out, also said they are a collection agency."

    Or maybe they're terrorists confined to a CIA "black hole"!

    Don't get scammed!!!

    This company called "Goldman and Associates" called my cell number in FL and had old information on a debt already collected seven years ago. They left a somewhat legal sounding computer generated message and a "case" number and a number in FL to call back 954-653-1428. When I called it said the voice mail was full. I called multiple times again and once they answered I asked where they were located, and they said GA. Why are you calling from a FL number? They had my social security number and my cell number and the detail of this one debt from years ago. When I said I needed to check it out, the man said "good luck in court," and hung up the phone. Thank goodness that I was clear on my financial history. They were totally scammers, and using our court system to try to get innocent people's money. Disgusting. Hopefully the AG will be able to do something about this!

      They did me the same way. At first the left an automatic recording  message saying they were calling from the arbitration department to collect a debt from 2011. After that different people with different names would call. They told me check n go in Florida show I had a $195 balance, and that by the time the debt got to them, the amount reached to $1480. They told me I have to make payment arrangements and that these arrangements could not be broken at any time. If so and even after making payments, they would still send documents to my home. They refuse to give me their address, they're very very rude and talk to you so nasty. They say they sent communication in writing to my home, and that I don't read my mail. So untrue. I read everything. I have never received anything communication in writing, from who they call themselves goldman and associates.
