The callers from +18337512985 are likely part of a scam operation, masquerading as a debt collection agency called Quest Capital Services. They use aggressive tactics, including calling family, friends, and workplaces to create panic and pressure the intended victim into paying. Users report being harassed, threatened, and misled about the amount owed. Some have paid hundreds or even thousands of dollars, only to realize later that the calls were a scam. If you receive such calls, do not pay any money without verifying the legitimacy of the debt and the caller. Report the calls to your local authorities and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to help protect yourself and others.

I had a converstaion with an attorney regaurding debt collection lawsuits and he investigated quest capital services llc, but couldnt find enny information, afterwards he recomend I contact the attorney generals office and report them, also to contact my bank and inform them that the payments were a scam, the fact that this company doesnt provide enny paperwork by mail is a red flag.
Given that they are based in New York, i wander why they are not being made to follow the law, how do you even know if they have the right to collect debts?
A distressing experience has been had with Shawn O'Conner and Alan, who have been persistent in demanding payment of a high-interest loan, even resorting to contacting family members and threatening to involve employers.
Interactions with Shaun have been problematic, including threats of legal action if a payday loan, which had already been paid in excess of $700, was not settled further.
If you dont report them to the autorities, they wont get in trouble, you should report them to the DA.
Having read all the comments, i feel extremly stupid to have probably been scammed out of $750, i origionally took out a pay day loan through speedy cash online for $400, but due to job loss, i was unable to pay the full amount back, a year later i start getting calls from Quest capital services from a guy named SHAUN, who has been nothing but rude and belittling me on this loan.
For those who have fallen victim to scams and made payments via credit or debit card, it's worth noting that disputing these payments with the bank may be an option, and if the perpetrator can be identified, legal action may be possible.
It's astonishing that I've been receiving weekly calls from someone claiming to be Shaun or his boss Alan, with both sounding identical, and after making a payment of over $500, I'm starting to question the legitimacy of the debt due to their rude and sketchy behavior.
Numerous calls from individuals claiming to represent Quest Capital Services have led to a distressing experience for my husband and me. Shaun O’Conner, who identified himself as a representative, made multiple consecutive calls, threatening legal action against my husband without providing any context. The situation escalated when they shifted their attention to me, displaying rudeness and an unwillingness to answer questions. After blocking the initial number, calls persisted from an unknown number, including a voicemail from a woman mentioning legal documents and a case number. Their primary tactic involves intimidating recipients with potential penalties and legal consequences if they fail to respond. It's crucial to be cautious of these believable yet suspicious calls.
Given that the information was already posted in this thread, it's unclear why the question was asked.
An individual named Alex James called the recipient's elderly mother, asking to speak to her stepson, and then requested that his number be passed along, citing its importance
A call was made to me from an unknown number, claiming i was being served, but when i called back, the person on the phone didnt give a formal greeting and seemed to know who i was, it was clearley a scam
One tactic these scammers use is to contact people close to their target, including family, friends, and colleagues, to create anxiety and embarrassment. They often make false claims that would be illegal for genuine debt collectors to make, threatening to contact the target's HR department if they don't respond. They may also claim that the target is being sued or owes money to someone, even if that's not true.
Clearly, this is a massive scam - dont give them any money untill they follow the law
Given the scam nature of this number, caution is advised against making any payments without ensuring all legal requirements are met.
This appear to be a fake process server scam, as legitamate process servers dont usualy call in advance.
I've been recieving calls from this number, and they've even contacted my family members, threatening to take me to court over a pay day loan of 300.00, which they claim has ballooned to 2000
Apparently a debt collector
