My husband received a phone call from an unknown # claiming to have papers served to him for a very old debt he occurred from before we were even married and that isn’t on his credit anymore. Long story short, someone named “Mike” contacted us from the phone # (213) 349-3890 and demanded a down payment from me on my husbands behalf (my husband is unemployed) And monthly payments and said otherwise we could go to court. Never once gave me his business address or provided any documentation of the alleged debt. Tried claiming he’s with the law firm Roberts & Associates but weirdly enough the email I received had the business name “Cs industries” and I fell for it. He was very persuasive even though my instincts told me something was not right. I didn’t fully trust the phone call because he wouldn’t give me their physical address or send me any paperwork for this debt. They sent me a form of payments (Which still didn’t include an address for them) and had me sign a debit card authorization. My last big payment was due in April but I hadn’t received my refund yet. So I went to call “Mike” and the phone # was disconnected. I googled it and discovered it was an Internet phone #! Then I researched the phone # provided by the “business” and it’s under someone name Amanda.. which is the email address that wrote me. Not a business name! After googling I discovered and read many comments they tried scamming so many others. I have not been able to find any credible sources for any of the information I have for this so called debt collector. Im only assuming they are in California because that’s what the charges showed up as in my bank. I’m currently in the middle of disputing all charges through my bank. Please be careful, don’t fall for it!

My friend has been working extremely hard to maintain her credit. Some months ago a CS Industries contacted her at work threatening to arrest her due to outstanding checks. She promptly called to settle the account. She has been making payments to them and recently she contacted them to pay the account in full. They began acting real suspicious when she asked for a letter and receipt to show the account settled. Well, they have yet to respond. Please always verify as much as you can about debt collectors contacting you. My friend needs assistance with trying to collect her money back. She is not in a position to just walk away from this situation.

A person called my place of employment said they were trying to reach me to serve me to go to court. They left 14243055837 phone number and a reference account number and said that I had 2 hours to reply. My employer called me and gave me the info I wasn’t at work yet. I called the number and a woman that spoke perfect English. I gave her the account number which she pulled up then told me my complete social security number which really surprised me that she would give it to me and not ask me to verify it. Said it was in reference to a Bank account I had when I was younger that was overdrawn. I told her that it should of been taken care of when I filed Bankruptcy 4 years ago. She stated that I couldn’t file on this account and I needed to pay 1500 and some change. The weird thing was how much info they had about me. She then proceded to tell me that they were going to take me to court and garnish me unless I could pay the balance today. She also began fishing for more information about my wife and everything else. Red flag after red flag went up so I told her that I would like to pay her the money today. She then sent me a email which had Cs Industries in the letter head and a pdf to fill out and fax in my debit card info. She told me when she sent the email I had 1 hour to send it back signed. I notified the local Sheriffs office and was given a email ic3.gov for the Scam Alert for the Secret Service. Its been 2 hours no phone calls and no email to let me know im over the deadline. BEWARE
