How and where to report debt collection scam

Scammers often pose as actual debt collectors and scare people with nonexistent debts. Their strategies may be pretty scary. Learn how to identify and avoid these fake debt collection calls.

How debt collection scams happen

Someone calls you or sends you a text message, fax, mail, or email — and asserts that you owe them money. The debt may be fictitious, canceled, forgiven, or past the statute of limitations for collection.

In any event, the con artist will employ various tactics to obtain payment from you, including intimidation, deception, harassment, etc.

Before you pay a debt collector, verify if the debt is legitimate.

How to recognize debt collection frauds

Consumers have reported numerous debt collection scams. These con artists can be pretty convincing, which is why you must recognize the following red flags:

They want data they should already possess

Real debt collectors already have a substantial amount of information about you, including the amount you owe, your address, your social security number, date of birth, etc. However, debt collection fraudsters likely do not have all your information, so they will request it. If they do not appear to know enough about you, there is a significant possibility that they are a con artist.

They will not give you their information.

Whenever someone attempts to collect a debt, you should request the following information:

The debt collector's name
Company name, address, telephone number, website address, and email id.

Please request all of these. Send a letter to the agency demanding confirmation of their debt. Look for the company's webpage online, and call them to confirm that the number is authentic.

There's a significant possibility you're in the middle of a scam if they refuse to answer your queries. Avoid responding and filing a complaint with us instead.

They threaten and deceive you.

The law prevents debt collectors from lying, frightening you with actions they cannot do, and impersonating government officers. Remember that you have rights to debt collection.

Scammers often employ fear and intimidation to obtain cash. If the collector tells you will go to jail for your debt, they are lying. You cannot be sued in a county where you resided when you signed the agreement or when they sued you. Stop communicating with them and register a complaint.

They demand instant payments.

Typically, legitimate debt collectors will attempt to obtain payment as quickly as possible, so you should be wary if your collector is insistent. Scam artists thrive by convincing victims to pay bogus bills before they understand they're being victimized. Be extremely careful if a debt collector pressures you to pay immediately. The government's tax collecting department will never demand immediate payment or ask for a credit card number over the phone, which indicates phishing fraud.

They request untraceable payment methods.

Scammers do not want to be identified. Thus, they frequently demand that you pay with a Visa gift card, wire transfer, or another untraceable way. True debt collectors will accept standard, verifiable payments and never submit a debt payment through wire transfer, particularly internationally.

They threaten to disclose your debt to your colleagues, friends, and employers.

Debt collection organizations are prohibited by law from disclosing information about your debt. To compel you into making an instant payment, they cannot blackmail you into collecting payment from your parents. Any indication that they would disclose your debt to your employer or relatives to collect payment is prohibited.

OVLG has taken the necessary steps to safeguard our customers and their personal financial information, and reported known fraud attempts to the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.

We were able to get scammer sites shut down and reveal the owners’ identities after legal maneuvering. The California Attorney General’s office responded favorably to Oak View’s complaint, and has indicated that they will use the evidence gathered to take appropriate action.

Update on recent collection scam findings

1. Mark Goodman is not associated with OVLG. He is a scammer.

OVLG has received more than 75 phone calls and emails from consumers regarding a fraud attempt. This perpetrator has threatened consumers with severe legal consequences if they don’t make immediate payment to OVLG. He has even sent fake case file numbers and loan account numbers to scare consumers.

If you have received any phone calls or emails, do not respond to them. Instead, forward those communications to our office. This perpetrator is not affiliated with Oak View Law Group in any way. Here are some sample threats Mark Goodman sent to consumers.

Steps we have taken

  • We have asked the San Francisco FBI office to shut down this new scam attempt to protect consumers.
  • We have informed local police jurisdictions of Citrus Heights and Los Altos about this matter for investigation.

2. Magic Jack Scammer

We have also found a scam company representing themselves as Oak View Law Firm. They have tried to collect on payday loans, or advance pay loans. This company is not affiliated with Oak View Law Group, and is not even located in the United States. They just use a Magic Jack phone line connection, making it nearly impossible to trace their calls.

We’ve received several complaints from citizens and consumers who are being harassed by calls from this group. Here are a few examples:

Date: Feb 25, 2016 From steve woltman <*********@hotmail.com> Good morning, I have gotten a couple of emails from somebody claiming that they represent Advance cash america saying that I took out a loan for $400 and now owe $890. This person has not given me any info on this bogus claim, yet they said I should accept the settlement offer. STRANGE. No info, just send money. I do NOT even know who Advance Cash America is. I have not taken out any loans,, and I mean No loans. My bank acct was hacked 2 to 3yrs ago and acct was drained. Ever since then I get these threatening emails. So I guess I'm asking for some clarification. Is this your company or is this a scam??? I will be contacting the State ATTORNEY GENERAL's office regarding this Bogus claim. Due to my bad heart and likelihood of having a 2nd stress related heart attack, I do not need this kinda B.S.

Just thought you should know, I have been considering your company to help me with payday loans, but after this email not sure, can you help in any way? Sincerely, Linda Smith

Mar 31, 2015 at 3:20 AM
I'm writing to you regarding suspected fraudulent phone calls that I have been receiving. This has happened on two occasions the first being in October of 2014, the caller states that I made a request to a payday loan company and that I never paid the loan and I now have a case against me and that if I did not pay there would be a warrant for my arrest. At this time I did not know what this was, I did know that I had not taken any loans etc and my bank accounts would reflect this. The caller was more aggressive and I did not know what to do so this time I did give them a total of 286.00 from a green dot loaded card. They sent my "settlement papers" from a David Wright with contact number of 408-915-5242, ext 7860 this number that is no longer in service, surprising! Now I am receiving a second group of calls in the exact same manner, stating I have this loan (which I do not) and I now owe them 426.00 or a arrest warrant will be issued. They request it in the form of only a money-gram. This time I need help to make this stop!! This is clearly a scam and I don't know how to proceed with this. This information they are giving me is Eric Johnson ovlg.lawfirm@mail.com, 323-739-5456, the callers both times have been indian and are very pushy and almost threatening. Please advise if there is anything I can do and how make this stop! Thank you Lori Christensen

This was sent to me after a conversation with the individual listed. They originally had an old email address, but I wanted to know what they were talking about. I have never dealt with Cash Advance America and have not used the email this individual had listed in many years. I canceled that email address a long time ago. I need to know what this is all about. This individual says I have a warrant out for my arrest and they are coming next week to serve the papers. He asked if I wanted to settle out of court on the phone.

Dear Mr Kalani, My name is David Correia and I was contacted by someone from you firm. I thought it was a scam and after looking over the other emails of people getting scammed I see I was right. I spoke with a guy named David who said that a company called cash advance America is suing me because they said that they give me a payday loan in the amount of 500.00 dollars and that I never paid it back. Which is crazy because I never got a loan from those people. Any loans that I have out I am paying on and am current on. To top it all off he couldn't give me the date of the supposed day that I received the money.He said I could either settle out and pay 476.00 which is what they are looking for or I would have to pay 5500.00 for court fees and what not. I will enclose a part of the email which will give you his name extension and your company name. Thank you very much, Mr. DAVID CORREIA, As I have confirmed with you on call to send you a copy of your case file, I have attached your case file in this mail. Please download the attached document. This document states that you have some pending debts. Please call me as soon as possible to resolve this issue.. Please revert for any clarification. Thanks & Regards, David Wright, Extn: 7860.

My name is Jasmine Jones and I received calls last week in regards to a case that was file agains my name and SSN. The guy's name is David Wright and his phone number is 408-915-5242 ext 7860. He then said that I would need to pay $376 or they would release info to the courts and send a warrant. I was nervous about this so I had him give me an extension until today to make at least half of the payment. After a few days of deliberation, he finally agreed that I could pay on 12/5 and that he would send me payment information. Today (12/5), he sent me payment information to visit a Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, 7-eleven or Radio Shack and purchase a Green Dot Money Pak card. It said to scratch off the back to get the card number and send those numbers to law firm.ovlg@gmail.com. I have not sent any information as this seem like a scam. Please inform me of what to do next. Thanks, Jasmine Jones

Good morning, I’ve been through this before and today it’s starting all over. In the past, these foreign idiots got hold of my debit card info somehow and ran it for over a thousand bux that I didn’t have. Big mess. I called the # associated with the transaction and after I got angry, they told me that I would not be getting my money back because they are poor people. Really? I was livid. Anyway, it’s starting again today. They called my cell phone and my work phone. 508-296-8798. Said his name was Joe Smith (really??) and that he is from Oakview Law Firm, there is a case pending against me, need to call them back, blah blah blah. Foreign accent (Indian, Arab, or something) I’m not calling these morons back, and I did have to close my bank account the last time. I hope you folks can figure out how to stop these idiots from getting $ from hard working people. Thank and hope this info helps a bit.

Good evening. My name is ________. I was contacted at 916-842-6822 and a voicemail from Mark Smith from oakview law group threatening me about a lawsuit and if I did not respond he will take actions and it would be my worst nightmare. ( I don't understand what attorney would actually leave a voice message like that.I attempted to call the # 7186909021 while recording it all it gave me was a beeping line once I disable the record a call the # rang) he introduced himself and started explaining his reason for the call. He states his client is advance america and there was a submission to file a lawsuit against me for an outstanding loan. He then gave me an ultimatum, he states that we can settle this outside of court or take it to trial and if its taken to trial he will send off the paper works tomorrow. He told me I had an outstanding balance of $1027 and for the settlement if paid today he is willing to accept $736.39 but if taken to trial I will be sued in the amount of $12000. It started to get suspicious because as an attorney he did not follow the correct protocal. I was not notify by whomever this company was of an outstanding balance, a letter of collections or nor was I served. By ca law I do have 30 days after the date I'm served to file a response to the court. To make sure that the call was authenticated, I started questioning the man that claims to be an investagtion officer. I had inquire when the loan was requested and for how much and why it took the long period of time to get in touch with me. He stated it occured from 2009 to present and the reason it took so long to contact me was due to he just finished the paperwork. I then asked him the present address of the time , the man cannot verify. I would atleast think as his profession he should have all his documents available. I asked him to verify the ssn on the document. He put me on hold for 15min to locate a ssn he then mentioned to me it was ____________, which isn't at all mines. I then asked him to repeat it 4 more times. I told him that'll I do my research due to the fact that what I was being held accountable for doesn't make sense and nor did his story. I had inquire to speak to upper management, he insisted he was the only one available. I told ill call back, he inform me that he may not be available. Call was disconnected and not returned. This man had a thick accent of arab or mid eastern. I then did a few more research and found that other people were also being harrassed by scammers using the same law firm name. I hope this will help with the investigation.

We have been getting phone calls for the last three days, 40 plus times a day asking to speak to one of our employees for some debt collection. We are a small engineering firm with 5 phone lines - they are calling us literally every second - tying up the lines and taking our receptionist time. Our employee who owes the debt speaks to them and even after that one minute later we get a call again and this goes on and on all day long! We asked for their company name and phone number - they say: Oakview Law Firm, phone # 347-756-5008 Please let us know what we can do to stop this. Thanks,

He's from Oak View Law Firm doing an investigation on me. That I supposedly got a loan from a cash loan place which I never did. I don't even have a bank account for that to happen.

I saw online that there is a scam with your company and to email (this email address) if I was contacted. I received a call earlier this afternoon from; 508-202-7204 who said he was Kelvin (Smith - is what I want to say the last name was). They said they had a lawsuit against me and my SSN which ends in ____ and that I needed to call him back to solve this issue. Time was sensitive.
I gave the ma call back to see what this was about and when a very questionable person answered the phone, Google searched the phone number and saw several notes about debt scams. Long story short, I am emailing you to help stop this.
Hope this is helpful.

Good afternoon,
For the last three months I have been embarrassed, harassed by these men from Oak view law group. These men are either Indian or Arab decent. They call my workplace four or five times a day. They use generic names such as Jim Carter, Stan Lee, and Christopher Watkins. What I don't understand is why when you ask them to verify the debt, or ask who the creditor is they start to curse and say rude things, but you can't hang up on them as they will just keep calling. My co workers are sick of them. Stan Lee is the head guy in the accounting department. So I was on the phone with him and got the royal cuss treatment. Then he tells me he can send the document to my email. So he sends me the most generic statement letter. It has misspellings and no capital letters. So I am the fool because they told me if I don't pay, they hate to say what is going to happen to me. I have sent letters to my State Attorney General and my next step is the FBI. Someone has to know how to stop these people from these malicious acts. It seems as soon as you pay one, they keep calling back. The number that the call from is 1-760-457-2203. Please help me!!!

Dear Mr. Kalani I have received still another collection call, which I deem to be fraudulent. It seems like the few times I applied for and received a payday loan from US Fast Cash, I get these calls. The two are either connected or someone is scamming from my application to make up a collection story. The callers always sound like they are of Indian descent, and they normally give me a court date just a few days away from the call. They also refuse to send documentation to me via US Mail - saying, "We don't have to do that!" From the reviews, your firm appears to be reputable and well respected. It's unfortunate that some one is giving it a bad name. There must be something we can do. I am sure others are falling for their scam, and they need to be stopped. Should your firm want to pursue legal action against them, I would be willing to serve as a witness to the scam. Oh, a phone number recorded on my cell is 347-390-0587. With my best wishes,

The numbers are as followed:
6175312607
5085219942
They called me on my place of employment saying that I owed money for an online cash advance I received deposited into my bank account. They couldn’t tell me when this happened and what bank account info they had. He also mentioned that I would go to jail for 9 months and pay fines for up to12 k.
I informed him that this was my job and do not call me here. He informed me that a sheriff would be at my job the next day to arrest me.

Over the last few days I have been contacted by someone named Michael Lawson claiming he represented your office and was contacting me as a party in a law suit.
He further threatened that should I not return his call I would be seized at my place of business or home by law enforcement agents.
This it very suspect as I recently filed bankruptcy and know the names of all my creditors and this company is not one of them.
I found your email address online at this site: https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-508-521-9942, where it was suggested I inform you that these scammer continue to call people with information they have obtained from the internet.
Please let me know if I was misinformed.

I have been receiving phone calls from numbers 484-361-4801, 951-489-0223 and508-521-9942 stating that I am being sued by your law firm for a debt owed to US Cash Advance and cash Advance of America. I have no debt with either of those groups. I reported to the Erving Police what was going on. The chief called them and told them they were a debt collector with your firm. When I ask for an Attorney's name they hang up on me. I have put a fraud alert on my credit reports, contacted my bank & the District Attorney's Office in my area. I am not sure where to go from here.

My name is ____________ and I have been contacted by the scammers using Oak View Law Group's name under the guise of collecting money from me that I "supposedly" renigged on a pay day loan that I took out in 2008.
They can give me no further details of this supposed defaulted loan, as all the paperwork has already "gone to the attorneys office". They cannot email me or mail me any proof that I took out such a loan. They call me 10 times a day asking for my payment out of my debit account and threaten me with legal fees of up to $11,000.00 and jail time if I don’t pay up now.
The number I am contacted from is508-521-9942.
I can be reached at this email for further follow up. I would appreciate you letting me know that you received this email.
Thank you,
