Benchmark Services scam calls—what you need to know!
Summary — +18663745242
Expert Opinion
Unexpectedly, dozens of callers claim to represent Benchmark Services while demanding payment for phantom debts. Most use a generic toll‑free number (866‑374‑5242) that never shows on caller ID and threaten lawsuits or wage garnishment. The safest move is to never call the return number; instead request written validation of the debt by certified mail. Verify the business through the Better Business Bureau or your state attorney general, and report the call to the FTC and your phone carrier. Block the offending number and spread the word that legitimate lenders do not rely on vague voicemails to collect.

The claim that I owe money to CashNetUSA from 2017 is false, as I never completed the loan application process and therefore never received any funds.
