fedup
Country: United States
The person's name is Jerry Coyle (this is also an actors name) and someone named Rachel called using the phone number 626-538-5614 and fax number 626-443-2601; using the same address in someone else complaint: 713 W. Duarte Suite #G914, Arcadia, Ca. 91007.  This is a credit card scam using the Credit One Banks name saying the person owed a certain amount of money and that the bank is willing to settle after trying to contact them by mail with no success.  They will send a very official looking letter and fake letterhead with information looking like it came from a credit collection agency.  Clue: they don't claim to be one nor attorneys although they give a case number and try to say this will go to court.

    Profile is typical "Corona scam"...
    1)  "Caller/closer" format, to enhance panic and split the deception for "plausible deniability".
    2)  Initial call pretends to be a "process server", leaves callback number. "civil document services"
    3)  Initial calls to relatives, used to harass and create panic.  They have skip-tracing, (probably Accurint, "fine purveyor of information to scams")
    4)  "claimed they had tried to deliver a certified mail which was returned unsigned"
    5)  Attempts to collect through threats, to evade FDCPA validation.
    6)  Imply they are "attorneys" without saying so.  Implying they are "suing":  "filing firm",  "expect a summons".  Imply a "lawsuit" or "prosecution":  "case pending", "pending civil complaint", " case number is 18995-JM", "expect a summons", "have to show up to court"
    7)  Bogus legal sounding BS "civil duty violation pending"
    8)  Note the numerous complaints reporting the alleged "debt" is bogus, never had such an "account".
    9)  Errors in identity, "accounts" appear to be fabricated, alleged "debtor" information may be from inaccuracies in skip-tracing used in the fabrication.

    Question...
    Did they send an email, or a letter by US Mail?

    If they sent a fraudulent demand letter through the mail, add a fraud complaint to the US Postal Inspector to FTC and state Attorney General complaints.

    Just received a call from someone who claims to work for Elite investigation  (a really company). They gave me a case number and said that they represented BTA & Associates. I was given a 626 number to call back, but a quick search showed that number to be a scam. I looked up Elite's actually company information,  called them directly, and they were unable to give me any information regarding the case..
    Because it doesn't exist.

      "Jennifer Greene" phone number 626-325-8294 has been calling me stating that she's from a credit litigation company. There was something fishy about how they came about. Thanks for confirming all of my suspicions

    So I received a voicemail telling me that I have a claim filed against me and I need to call them back. They left the phone number 626-531-1642 for me to called back and the lady who picked up said that I have claim filed against me from Credit One Bank that I opened in Feb 2006 and closed in 2009. They had all my personal information but I do not recall having a Credit One Bank Credit Card.  They said they will send paperwork to my house for me to sign for and I would have to appear in court.  They even said that when it was in collection that they tried to contact me via mail and phone.  I asked them when did they try to contact me as in exact date, they couldn't give me an answer.  The lady said if I want to settle it and not go to court she could talk to the attorney and case manager for a negotiation...she comes back with they will settle if I pay 50% of what I allegedly owe them.  She said she would email me a letter showing me all the details but I opened it and started surfing the web to see if it's a scam.  From what I'm reading, this appears to be a scam.  Is it a scam and what should I do?  How do I find out the truth and if it is a scam, how do I report them?  Thank you for your help!

    My husband received a phone call at work from a man saying he was trying to get ahold of me that I had a case against me so I called back, they left a case number and phone number. The name was Jennifer Green she stated it was from a capital one card from 2006 and I stopped paying on it in 2009 and did I want to give any statements or reasons why I stopped paying, and so on went the conversation... She stated that it was going to be turned over to my county. Total scam!  It's scary because she knew all my info. Last four of my social as well as previous addresses the call back number is 818-858-0451.

      What is also outragous.. replies to Renae

      is that the CRAs, and skip-tracing companies like LexisNexis Accurint sell their services to these low-lifes to use in fraudulent collection schemes.

      Having 4 digit SSN and previous addresses must be working with some victims, or they wouldn't be using it.

        Yep! It freaked me out at first and I knew I didn't owe it and didn't remember the credit card but was going to pay it because we're buying a house and can't afford to have something like this ding my credit, my husband said its a scam and I did a search sure enough a lot of other people are getting these calls also. These jerks need to get busted praying on innocent working hard working people like I said the new number is 818-858-0451 Jennifer green is the name!!!!!

    Tony Bernard called me today from Elite Investigations stating i had a claim being filed against me in Dallas Co. He gave me a name of Jennifer Green to call at 818-858-0451 and a case number. He then proceeded to report my SS# and DOB to me and I hung up. I have filed fraud alert with all the credit reporting agencies. Tony also called my husband and mother all in a matter of hours. SO [***] ANNOYING.
