Hey Special investigator Truth...Howzabout you investigate my a**? There's a load of **** in it with your name on it. I got yer debt rightcheer. Come and get it. You freakin coward, threatening innocent people over the phone. What...You don't have the ***** to come to their door? I'll bet not, being the lowlife s***-****ing do***ebag you obviously are.**** poor excuse for a human being!

You people are really sad and ignorant at the very least, you don't know what you're talking about. This is legitimate for one. In addition to that, all of you people know that you owe these bills, and you want to try to run up under some type of authorities AG, FBI, local police when you people are stealing money from companies, you can sign the contract and expect to recieve things, but then you have a problem paying for them.  These are grown people trying to find a cop out of paying bills that you owe. You people are the scum of the earth, and want to call any legitimate means of repayment a scam, as an excuse not to pay. How many of you after receiving a call from one of these companies has actually went and at the very least attempted another avenue to begin repaying the bills that you owe? None of you I'm sure. You guys are the scammers getting all types of things on credit running up the bill and then not answering your phone, or worse, putting a child on the phone to say that you aren't home, instead of picking the phone up and saying I'm not paying,I dont have the money, or just even saying ha ha i am a professional debtor, and I GOT YOU. FYI If you paid your bills or at least paid on your bills you wouldn't even be in a position to recieve calls like this. Make calls to make arrangements for repayment, and stop spending more of other people's tax money by calling authorities for a situation that you caused. LOSERS!!!!!!!!

This is a group of people currently taking advantage of people across the United States. They go by a variety of names and phone numbers -- some of the names they use include Global Asset Investigations, Worldwide Recovery Services, Worldwide Asset Investigation Services and North American Asset Investigation Bureau (NAAIB). Last year they were operating out of Cleveland, OH, until they were shut down -- the Cleveland BBB named them as one of the top ten scams of 2007 (http://cleveland.bbb.org/WWWRoot/SitePage.asp ... 19642b&art=4334).You can get more info here: http://www.budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/NAAIB.htm.They will probably continue using this MD number until they get shut down again, then start using a new area code, but the MO is always the same: they call and identify themselves in a way that implies they are either working for a lawyer, the court system, or the police department (all of these misleading statements are illegal); tell you that there has been a civil case filed against you, they give you a case number, and tell you that you must contact them before a warrant is sworn out against you. When you contact them, they tell you that they are investigating a debt that is 10, 12, 15 or so years old; they'll name some bank you've never heard of, or a credit card you've never heard of. They'll have just enough information about you to make you nervous and they'll be phishing to find out more information. They'll tell you that the debt is some ridiculous amount -- let's say $10,200 for an example -- but if you're willing to pay today, they'll reduce it to, for example, $650. But they can't give you an address. Instead, they will ask for your bank account or credit card number. They'll tell you that if you don't settle on the phone with them that moment, a sheriff will appear at your door within 48 hours to arrest you. NONE OF THIS IS TRUE. Complaints have been filed to the AG of OH, MD, TX, NY, and IL, as well as to the FTC, FCC, and the FBI (as they are trying to illegally extort money over the phone). They often target the elderly and infirm. Do not speak with them, and save whatever messages they leave on your phone. If you get a phone call, file a complaint online with the following organizations:http://www.oag.state.md.us/Consumer/complaint.htmhttps://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=enhttp://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htmas well as the Attorney General of your own state. Remember: whether the debt is yours or not, you should not be dealing with these people. They are not a legitimate organization.PLEASE -- file a report. You were smart and savvy enough to do research on this number; not everyone is that lucky. REPORT THEM!!!

A supposed special investigator named Keo (not sure of the 1st name) Rosenthal calls my sister, thinking it was me.  My sister clarifies that I am not at that number.  The guy makes the call sound urgent and instructs her to call me right away to give him a call back.  He gives this supposed case# that has been filed against me in my home state.  Anyways, I looked up the number, 240-696-8261, online just to see if any info would pop up.  Sure enough, as you all have found out, this seems to be a scam.  I have proceeded to report them to the FBI and am thinking of filing complaints with other authorities as well.

My husband received this same call.  He has received it several times.  When he called to request his cell number be taken off the list because the person they are looking for no longer has this number.  The woman who answered was anything but helpful.  I'm assuming its the same person everyone else has encountered.  She told my husband he needs to learn to have some respect.  He called back from our home number, requesting to speak to a supervisor.  She said she was the supervisor and hung up on him again.  He then called back and they would not answer.  I'm sure they have caller ID and so does the rest of the world.  I personally called her back and she said sir what can I do for you now when she answered the phone even before I spoke.  I told her who I was and she told me if we called back again she would file harrassment charges and that our number has since been removed from her call list.  I will turn the situation over to the proper authorities and file a report.  I can not believe the similarities.  She did not identify her company or herself.  The worst part of the whole ordeal is we don't even know the person she's calling about.

I was woke this morning by my husband telling me that an investigator call one of his sister in-laws relatives asking questions about me. Of course I was confused because I have never given these people as a reference for anything!! I don't even know their number by heart I have to look it up!! Well I called them to see what the deal was and the wife told me that a man named Kameran Price was asking for me by my maiden name which she didn't even know and asked her husband if he knew anyone with that last name and he said no but he knew another Susan and asked if that was who they were talking about. He gave them his phone number and a weird number I guess a claim # and told them they were filing charges against me and they needed to get in touch with me. Well I called and the man said I had until June 4th, next wed. to pay 5,000 dollars or I would be arrested!! I told him I guess i'm gonna half to be arrestted then because i'm not paying this to which he replyed do you really want to go to jail? and i said no I don't know one does but i'm not giving you any money!! And then I said i needed to go so I could call an attorney and my husband and after I got threw talking to them i would call him back. He said good luck and I hung up the phone!! Then I googled the number and it brought me to this website!! How dare him and these other people do this I will be contacting the local police dept. and go from there!! Thanks to all of you for doing the same!!

Left a message to my mother in law saying that my husband is in involved in a crime....The man by the name of Duvon Barber said to be attorney said to have him call back and gave a case number NPQ2735.  When my husband called they said its been a mistake and asked him for his social number, saying that he could still be involved.This was so confusing.When I called them back some lady asnswered and I asked her to give me her name and company and she hung up on me saying, "oh no honey you wont be getting that information".I am going to report this number and crime to the FBI.It is obvious that these people are up to something BAD!!

I received a call from someone by the name of Victoria Branson posing as a special investigator phone# 240-696-8261 and told me that there is a civil complaint filed against my name in my county and she gave me a summons# that is totally weird#. And that when I return the call to have my Atty. present in the court since I was named as the respondent. First of all, if this whole thing is legitimate, I should have gotten a summons in the mail. You do not just act on something just because someone says so. Besides she did not identify her company and right there is a red flag. It is good thing that I screen all my calls before I decide to answer.And I am not about to fall for her scam and be threatened by what she is saying. I am in the same business of collections and her actions only tells me she is a scammer and will intimidate someone if you fall for it. I am very critical on situation like this when someone tries to scam you for your hard earned  money. So, at this point I already filed a complaint against who she is so her and the others can be tracked down and stop their unlawful business practices.

caller identified as "investigator joe furguson" from an unidentified company called me at 6:30 am saying that I was being sent, get this, "a summons or subpeona" to appear in court. THis joker couldnt even get his story straight.  I hung up on this scam artist. said my case id was RPM1206
