Callahan & Associates Reviews
Fraud ALERT
Callahan and Associates is a bunch of thieves trying to pose as a law firm to collect information they have either stolen or obtained illegally. Donnie Edwards 408-766-3924, Shea 408-766-3924 these numbers are via VOIP which are internet phone lines that can be tracked if you want to spend money to do so but will lead to more crap. They can provide nothing in writing as it would allow someone to actually locate them and they would be prosecuted for fraud. See if you can get them to mail info or email as will tie them to their fraudulent activities. They will use the attorney name and bar # of Jonathan Robert Medina California Lawyers asociation #272308. There is no info available for this person, no phone, address etc... These are just thieves trying to steal peoples money.
Spread the word. I am hoping this will show up in google when people google the number
This is a fake law firm. They will not tell you the name of the firm (Maybe they will use M. Callaghan & Associates or M. Callahan & Associates) but will not identify the lawyer who runs this. When does a law firm not identify attorneys?
They will try to scare you into thinking you owe money by violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and making threats that you have been sued and they want to take your deposition over the phone. They will then throw a handful of legal terms at you to make them sound legitiamte.
It's a call center with employees being paid hourly to scam you to the next level of scam
Some Call Center Names:
Sage
Caitlin
Derrick Stevens
Steve Klien
Donnie
They will answer "Legal" or something else
Once you get past there then you get to a "Mr Martinez"
I am hoping this thread will encourage everyone to avoid them and post as much information to bring these scam artists to justice. If they want to pretend to be a law firm then let them pretend to do so a "prison lawyers"
Many anti-scam perople have resorted to crank calling them as payback and have filled their mailbox.
Remember, the more time you waste, the less time they have to scam people.
I received a disturbing voicemail from a company saying my information was in their office to call them back immediately. I called the number that was on my caller ID 4089876304 .I spoke with Michelle she told me my bank accounts would be seized and my paychecks and income tax would be taken from me . I got heated with her when I asked for information to be sent to me and she hung up. I called back and got transferred to her again . She transferred me to someone else that said I said I worked for the courthouse which I never said wanted to play it back. Hung up on them . Called back and got Dan who rattled off my age etc I asked for their mailing address and he rattled off an address in my hometown. They are total scammers !! Beware
I received a call on my cell phone from a 951-387-3966 (it read scam likely on the ID). when i called the number back from a different phone, i was told to call 800-268-0307. once i called this number i was told that i would need to come up with $11000+ or i would be forced to go to court and the attorney would charge me another 10000 making the grand total 20000+.
The car they were referring to was from almost 10 years ago. The type of car was correct, the finance company was also correc, but the amount wasn't. The amount that they were claiming to sue me for was way more than the car actually cost. The first chick did say that they had tried to contact me.
That's when i said i have seen this number but my phone said scam so i don't answer. She just looked over that bit of information. She then forwarded me to another young lady. However, i was suppose to be forwarded to the attorney.
The next chick i spoke to informed me that i could pay $1000 by the end of the day today, or make arrangements, which is something that they don't do, but i would have to put down at least 20% of 11000. I told her that there was no way that i could ever do that, and she stated that then i would face up to 3 years in prison on top of the fine.
i was told that if they froze my bank account and income tax, they could do it for 10 years until the debt is paid and extend it another 10 years for an extension.
I did tell the chick that i would kill myself because i can't go to prison or afford that amount. she quickly disconnected, stating that she would need to terminate the call.
They called with an automated phone system saying that there was a lawsuit being filed against me and to call +1-800-268-0307 to make payment arrangements. So I called and was told that I owe $1,205 on a car that I owned 8 years ago and was claimed in a bankruptcy. They proceeded to tell me that bankruptcy did not cover this amount and that my bank account would be frozen and they would take my paychecks if I did not either make payment arrangements pay it in full or show up for court which will be filed by the end of the day the next day. They knew my social security number the company that this was with and the amount I did not offer any other information. They said that their lawyer contacted me yesterday and that I did not respond back which I never received any phone calls from any lawyers ever and nothing in the mail no contact at all.
October 2nd.2018 I received ic computer generated voicemail stating Callahan & Associates calling me because my bank accounts were about to be seized.My tax returns are on order and I have 2 civil complains from American Express.I dont have any accounts with American Express. THEY HAVE MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND DATE OF BIRTH. I belive this is identity theft of some kind. The message has been left from phone number 951-387-3966. The left call back numebr is 800-268-0307.I called back and there is computer answering which connected me with some sort of live representative who tryed not to give a chance to talk and I tolld him never to call me back. He mention they sent a letter 45 days ago which they never did. The person called me back from 408-221-4615 trying to argue with me. I blocked his number....
Callahan & Associates On September 24, 2018 I received a threatening call from the above company. The call came from 951-387-3966, but listed 800-270-9061 as the callback number. The message stated my bank accounts were about to be seized and a warrant had been issued for my arrest. I called to explain this bill has been paid years ago, but was told by an individual (a male) that I still owed $1,114.00 for a 2008 payroll advance.
He was very rude and stated that I was a liar and a person that never paid my bills and I would be standing before a judge real soon and the judge would not be very kind to me because I was a which had been paid several years ago. I hung up on him and called their direct line and spoke with someone who identified herself as Lea Davis.
I informed Ms. Davis that I was out of town but would fax her proof of payment on October 1st. Today I called the 800-270-9061 number and obtain an email address to forward the information. I am sure this is a fraudulent claim.
