Like a persistent mosquito buzzing at night, these calls hover around your phone, demanding payment for debts that often don’t exist. Callers masquerade as investigators or attorneys, throw around legal jargon, and threaten arrest warrants to create urgency. The pattern of vague case numbers, misspelled company names, and pressure to use prepaid cards points to a classic debt‑collector scam. Hang up immediately, block the number, and never share personal or banking details. Document the call, report it to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection agency, and consider a call‑blocking service. Staying calm and verifying any claim through official channels can stop the cycle.
After receiving a call from someone named Amber claiming to represent Chase & Associates, I took steps to verify the legitimacy of the call, including filing a complaint with the FTC due to misrepresentation.
A call was received by my husband, which has caused frustration, given that we have never issued a bounced check and are unsure how our personal information was obtained.
Thankfully, the information provided here helped us understand the context of a mysterious call to my husband's office, which claimed to have a case number; it's disturbing how these scammers obtain personal info.
I recieved a call today from this number, a lady called Mrs Marshall left a message asking me to call her back, she claimed to be from Vandeburg Chase & Associates, I think she's trying to collect a debt from Ace Check Cashing Place
Upon receiving a call, I investigated the company online and later spoke with a representative named Miss Marshall, who claimed my file was unavailable and threatened an arrest warrant if I did not call back.
Initially, I was deceived by a company claiming I owed a debt from 2005, but further research revealed it to be a scam
A company, which refered to themselves as Vanderburk, Chase, and Associates, contacted me, and I explicitely told them to never call me again.
I had this experiance too, and it was very frustrating
On 04/10/08, I received a message to call this number, and when I did, I was met with a strange business name and a woman with a terrible attitude claiming I'd have a warrant issued for me unless I paid a certain amount of money.
On 4-8-08, a message was left to call 1-877-822-2677 Ext 2014 #, which was answered by a woman claiming to represent a business; she threatened a warrant for an alleged bad check to Ace check cashing, but the claim seemed dubious, given Ace's check cashing policies and the lack of a Texas connection
