CS Industries debt‑collection scam: What to watch out for!
Summary — +18447379816
Expert Opinion
Calls from a company insisting you owe an old credit‑card debt and demanding immediate payment are a classic red flag. The script usually mentions a non‑existent law firm, threatens court summons, and asks for your bank or card details within an hour. Legitimate collectors must provide a written validation notice by mail and cannot pressure you to pay on the spot. Hang up, request written proof, and verify the debt directly with the original creditor. Report the number to the FCC and your phone carrier, and consider placing it on a blocklist. Never share personal financial data over the phone.

I've gone ahead and canceled everything, feeling rather foolish about it
Clearly, scammers operate by exploiting loopholes in the law, thus it's essencial to be aware of your rights, as stated on page 3 of this thread, dont be decieved
After reading reviews, I'm concerned that I may have been scammed by CS Industries, especially considering an email I received from Amanda@bsmteam.com and a conversation with someone claiming to be Linda or Mr. Burns.
I received a threatening call from a man claiming to be from a law firm, stating that I had an outstanding bill and would be sued if it wasn't paid; I've since taken steps to protect myself from this scam
Fake law firm contacted me, making absurd claims that I had exaggerated my income and inquired about my bank balance to pay them, while also questioning the reality of the Covid-19 pandemic, which led me to conclude that the call was a scam
This is clearly a scam, I dont know why they even bother calling people.
Threats were made via calls from 8777379816 or 2132936034, with demands for credit card information by individuals claiming to be Michael or Amanda, who were notably rude.
After being contacted by someone claiming to be serving papers for a lawsuit, I investigated further and discovered that the company was scamming me, having already taken $800 from my account.
Within a two-hour window, a series of calls were received, first from an unknown number claiming an urgent debt matter, followed by an email requesting debit card information, a sequence of events deemed suspicious and potentially scam-related.
It's essential to exercise caution when receiving calls about debts; always request proof of the debt and verification of the caller's legitimacy through mail, and consider reporting fraudulent transactions if payment was made by traceable means.
They also called me first on my privite number, a man namd Keith was very rud and claimed I was served papers, they had no proof of the debt and just kept arguin with us
I wonder who own the original debt, if not who claim to own it, i'm curious about how that work
When someone claims you owe money, insist they provide mailed proof of the debt and their authorization to collect it, since emails, phone calls, faxes, and texts are not valid methods for debt validation.
I initially received a call from an unidentified number informing me of a supposed case file against me, threatening a court summons unless I settled the debt immediately, and later received an email requesting my debit card information, which I refused to provide due to suspicions of a scam.
I recived the same cal as every body else, they threatened to sue me if I didnt make paymen arrangements, and they even sent a paper to my work, asking for my debit card number, there were many red flags, so I would advise every body to be carefull.
I received a restricted call from a service claiming to need to reschedule a debt repayment with me, but when I inquired about the details, they were evasive and only provided a reference number and a phone number to call, which led me to CS Industries, a law firm that had allegedly sent me a letter about intending to sue me, a letter I never received.
Upon reviewing your post, it seems you meant to say that Bill informed you that you owe something.
Some guy namd Bill claimd I owed them money, but he didnt specifiy who Bill was or what I owed them for.
I received a call with a similar threat, claiming I was being sued and that they had contacted my workplace, and they even sent an authorization letter to deduct payments from my account, but after researching the number, I believe it to be a scam.
Similar to everyone else, they claimed I had an old charged off credit card, said they tried to get someone to sign for my mail, but I told them I never had the card, then they rattled off some other card names I never heard of, they got my email adress to start payments, but when I sent it back asking for more information on the debt, the girl replied she was only in bookkeeping and that I should call a Kim Burns for more informations.
i recieved a call stating i owed $4,300 from 13 years ago, they threatened me with a court summons and warrant for my arrest
I had a similar experience, they threatened to sue me but I've received no mail or follow-up.
Similar issues are being experienced, with private calls threatening a lawsuit, causing concern
Initially, the claim seems suspicious, particularly with the mention of 'CS Industries' in debt collection, which raises several red flags. Upon further investigation, it becomes clear that this is a typical debt collection scam. To protect oneself, it's advisable to request proof via mail and contact the credit card company for verification. A simple online search can provide more information on debt collection scams.
I am uncertain about the validity of the claims made by the caller and am seeking clarification on how to verify their authenticity.
Clearly, this is a scam and should be disregarded, if you want to persue it, request they send proof by mail as requiered, otherwize its a compleate waste of time, ignorning unknown numbers can be benifical.
I received a call from them today, claiming I have debt from a credit card over 10 years old; I'm unsure if it's a scam
Apparently a scam, threatening to serve papers within two hours, yet no information is available on this so-called company.
A company contaced me, claiming I owed a debt from years ago, and the representative was extreemly rude, threatning me with legal action if I didnt comply, but further investigaton revealed the company doesnt exist and I never actuially owed any money
