Yesterday evening, a wave of texts and voicemails from the 866‑584‑1199 line claims a payment decline, a delivery issue, or an old debt. These messages share the same script, use urgent language, and often invoke legal threats. Never share banking details or personal identifiers before confirming the caller’s legitimacy. Hang up, search the number online, and report the incident to the FTC or your state consumer protection agency. Block the number on your device and consider a call‑blocking app. If a genuine company needed contact, they would provide verifiable contact information through official channels right away.
My responce to this text after searching and determining they are scammers, i sent this:
Calls from this number involve speaking Chinese and appear to be fraudulent, targeting individuals of Chinese descent in the USA.
I keep getting messages sayin I missed a payment, also they texted my sister in law number with my name in the text, thats weird
BigA has done an excellent job in handling these issues - thanks to their efforts, we're better equipped to deal with such nuisance callers.
Further research is recommended, particularly in the threads associated with the two other numbers mentioned, to gather more information and alert others to potential scams; it is essential to understand that discharged debts cannot be collected and attempting to do so is a federal offense
A call was received from TCS regarding a 15-year-old debt that had been discharged in bankruptcy; the caller claimed that only half of the debt was included and demanded immediate payment, which raised suspicions of a scam.
I received a text message instructing me to call 866-584-1199, which led to a claim about an old debt, but after investigating, it appears to be a scam, with the company threatening to freeze my bank account
They've sent several texts stating that there's been a decline in payment on my account, and to resolve the issue i need to contact TCS at 866-584-1199, however i'm not sure if it's legit.
Even if this number is reported, the scammers can simply obtain a new one, making it challenging to accomplish anything
We can't stop spoofed numbers, but this number is know to be fraudulent, it's bad that we dont know who's calling us
Reviewing the other posts in this thread reveals valuable information.
I recieved a call from titan capital saying I owe money to allied cash advance, thats not posible since its been over 10 years and they dont exsist no more, they even called my moms number and said I signed somthing, but I havent recived any court paperwork, can somone please help me, is this scam?
My daughter-in-law recieved two text messages on her phone, using her maiden name, saying she has a delivery scheduled, and to contact seders office to reschedule, this is ridiculous
A text message claimed our card was declined with TCS, and a number was provided to contact and resolve the issue, but it seems like spam.
My daughter received a suspicious text message from a number claiming to be something else, which raised some red flags.
Posting here in an attempt to communicate with callers seems futile, akin to being influenced by a full moon.
I've askd this company to stop calling my number, they are disrespectfull and I've never and will never use their services
It is unclear whether the "payment declined" text was intended for the recipient or the individual with the same last name mentioned in the case number text
I am perplexed by the 'payment declined' text, and I question whether payment was made to these individuals, as federal court typically only handles cases exceeding $75,000
I've been recieving text's from these people about someone with the same last name, they say i need to call back at 866-584-1199, but i'm not sure if it's a scam or not
its a scam alert, beware of this number
I receivied a call from TCS, they say i have a decline payment on my account and i need to call them back at 866-584-1199
It's peculiar that they would send a text message to your family member, which raises concerns about their intentions.
Apparently, my father-in-law recieved a text from this number claiming ther has been a decline payment on his account, to resolve the issue he needs to contact TCS at 866-584-1199
I recived a call and they left a voice mail saying I owed a grant back from when I was in college, but I had allready paid off my student loans, so I knew it was a total scam, they even got my birth date and ssn wrong
It's crucial to understand that grants do not require repayment. If a court date is threatened, remember that the legal process involves being served first, followed by a 20 to 30-day window to respond. The claims made by these callers are often baseless and intended to intimidate.
A text from TCS alerted me to a supposed billing issue, but I'm wary of responding
Being contacted at 2am with a generic greeting and someone else's name was unsettling, especially given the claim of a billing issue that required immediate attention to avoid reporting, which seemed suspicious. Upon calling to resolve the matter, the representative, who identified herself as Miranda Lombardo, was unfriendly and unhelpful, stating that my number couldn't be removed due to a recent update and suggesting I should have called back at 2am. The company's practices seem unprofessional, and I would advise against doing business with them due to their poor customer service.
Yesterday, I received a suspicious text message from this number, claiming a billing issue and prompting me to call back to avoid potential reporting, with instructions to contact TCS at 866-584-1199
I was harassed with calls, including my social security number, from multiple numbers, including 866 584 1199 and 682 285 3924.
