United Legal Alliance review: Scam 40

the same thing happened to me and I am in the middle of speaking with my bank. They do not know anything about this company. I was advised to send them a letter that stated for them to cease and desist until they sent me further proof that the debt is owed. This is a fraud do not agree to anything with this company until you get further proof.

This happened to me as well for debt in 2007, and they wanted me to set up payment and threatened to come to my job to serve me papers? Let alone they said i committed fraud and took money and ran as well. So lets just say they are a scammer, when i proceeded to give him an accurate address to serve me, because i told them to take it to court, he wouldnt listen and hurried up and said " See you in court, it is for the judge to decide and hung up on me" Wow..tyhe number they wanted me to return the call on was [protected] and the women who called was " Kathy John", however when i called back and man answered. It sounds really lagit, at first, but if you press the number 2 option or the#3 option it prompts you to leave a message and a LAGIT company would not have this as an option it would keep you on hold and suck fourth, also they had my current address wrong.. Btw i live in Maryland?

I just received the same EXACT! duplicated, scripted voice mail today... Accept it was "Terry Rayman" that was speaking. Female, with a southern accent. HHmm. Interesting, southern accent from Singapore. "What A Country!" You know, , us law-abiding, doing the best we can with what we have (and had at the time) need to be LEFT ALONE. Just because someone has a few bad wounds on their credit report, it shouldn't allow someone else, I don't care who they are, the capability to harass them. We're all trying our best to get through this crappy economy era, we don't need anymore stress than what we're already under.

I want to say "thank you" to dsanfordp and katieabbey for posting your messages. I can only hope that others who get Zapped by this company, do what I did. "Google search" it, end up here at this thread and learn...

I just got this same exact message for my sister who lives 3 states away. This was from "Leon Cross" special investigator. Thankfully as soon as I called the number and googled the company name I came across this thread. I spoke to them pretending to be my sister. They didn't ask for any personal information to guarantee that this was the right person. They said she owed HSBC bank $1682.09 and that they were filing charges for Fraud. Malicious intent to defraud a financial institution. At that point I let them know I googled the company and I was aware of the scam. To that they replied that they didn't really care what google showed, and that "I" was facing legal action. Then they tried to record something - at which point I interjected my real name, and that the person they were looking for didn't live in "my" state. That we are aware of the fraud and we will be contacting our attorneys. Then I hung up.

I just got a call for my 22-year-old daughter who was not home at the time. They told me to have her call [protected] and ask for Kathy John. She told me there has been a complaint filed against her but wouldn't tell me what it was about. I spoke to my husband and he said it sounded like a scam so I googled it and saw that it was a scam.

I recieved the same call! My call came from Lisa Lewis - private investigator. I was instructed to call [protected] as well. I spoke with them twice to try and figure out what was going on. I also had my lawyer call and recieved a different story with each call. I recently moved out of state with my 2 year old. My daughter had a different last name than I and they referenced her last name. When I asked how it was possible because she is two and her father is deseased, they denied ever mentioning the name. I said I did not recall doing this at all. They said that I better remember by the time the court papers come and hung up on me. I called back some time later in attempt to gather more informaton. They gave me the address I gave when I allegendly opened the card. The address was from Iowa and I lived in New York in 2008. I told them there was no way this was me. I also told them that it was not on my credit report. They said they were going to forward the information to their lawyers and mail me some information. I asked them to verify my address to ensure the paperwork came to the right address since I just moved. They said it would be sent to the address on file. I asked what address they had and they said "the right one" and they hung up. My questuion to everyone else is have you recently filed a change of address with the post office? That is the only way they would know mine and my daughters last names. Also they orginal call was recieved on a landline phone inwhich I just had hooked up. I live in IOWA.

I received a call as well from someone name "Lisa Lewis" stating she was a special investigator and that a complaint was filed against me and to contact [protected]. I made several attempts to reach someone at that number (United Legal Alliance) but always reached a recording to leave my personal information.
I have no clue who this company is, no record of this company on my credit report. I also called every court house within the area of Babcock, Texas and there's no record of my name or the affidavite number I was given on file.

I received a message from Terry Raymond wanting to talk to "Jennifer excuse me Johnny H." regarding a restraining order and a case reference number of AVA-1181. Terry told me that Johnny (first off Im a female named Carrie who has been in a relationship with another female named Jennifer for the last five years and neither of us have ever dated a Johnny) is wanted for domestic abuse in Texas (We live in Wisconsin, both of us, our whole lives). I was given one week to pay $3617.68 in costs for the damage and medical bills caused to my significant other. When I told Terry there is no Johnny H. at this number and never has been she accused me of lying and told me that was a crime and I could have charges brought upon me for lying to an officer. I told this woman that neither of us has been to Texas (Jen had, but when she was a teenager and went with her high school band class... shes 25 now). I asked for the government ID number, since every government employee has one and she accused me of giving her attitude? She then demanded payment to have the charges dropped. I told her poor Johnny is going to be pissed and to give him my best when she found him.

We had something very similar happen to us before and we almost lost $750. Please everyone remember every time you enter your information online the host of the webpage has that information and can sell it to the highest bidder. I believe these people bought our information from an online pay advance we took out almost 2 years ago. If someone calls you regarding a debt remember these important things
1. You ARE entitled to all legal papers regarding this debt.
2. You ARE entitled to all the information collected regarding a debt.
3. You ARE entitled all information regarding the company who claims you owe the debt.

Several post offices are now privately owned and operated for profit. I saw above Lashon07 thought that filling out a change of address card is how these people found them. Find out who runs your local post office. Good luck everyone and keep posting. The more aware people are of less likely they will be fooled.

hi, im another of thier scam victims tht got a v0ice mail stating the same problems with an court order against me for a fraud that i commeted back than. The name of the person Terry Raymond the same person that i saw from one of the victims that posted their story. What should i do at this time im a victim like the rest o you people. regalcastro@yahoo.com

I got a message from a so called "Jerry Reeves" special investigator from "United Legal Alliance" say I had a restraining order filed against me and left an Act of David number and a phone number ([protected]), so i called this number and lady answered and asked her what' s the company about and avoided my question and hung up on me. Long story short there's no doubt this so called "company" or whatever they call themselves are a SCAM!

I also revived a call saying that a "serious complaint" had been filed against me & that their would be a court date set. Thanks to Google & everyone who has posted on the site I was able to avoid this annoyance. The only difference I'm seeing in my story & the ones previously posted is that they left a new number for me to call: [protected]

I also just got a call to a family member for me to call this [protected] and to refer to a case #, I called and got a tela promt that either I choose I have my accounts frozen, I am a atty or the 3rd was I have won some money. ODD I too googled 210 and new that I did not have anything in TX but a couple friends. Also I do Not owe ANYONE money, and more importantly NO ONE would ever have called this family member other than my parents. So I knew something was up! After reading up on all these and other referances SCAM is right! so look out people thay have a new phone number! and also they came accross unknown per that family member, However it did say in some other posts that the 210 is a VOIP Cable system...
FRAUD SCAM from [protected]

I too just received a message that was left on my wifes cell #. I knew immediately that this had to be a scam. I googled it and sure enough it was well documented. I called the # back [protected] and pushed 3 (settlement) as soon as the gentelman answered I said "Hi I would like to participate in your scam" his response was " I don't understand" "I want information on how to participate in this scam" "I'm not sure what you mean" (he sounded a little nervous) I then unloaded..."Don't ever call me or my relatives with a bogus claim of $$$ owed, furthermore there is no restraing order filed against me" he immediatey hung up on me...

Be firm with them. THIS IS A SCAM! Be careful everyone

I received the same voicemail with a case number and mention of a restraining order...I have 24-48 hrs to have my lawyer contact them to settle out of court. Well, I knew something was up cuz I have filed an 'order of protection' and I know someone would have been at my door already to serve me with it as well as there is no settling out of court with an 'OP' and Private Investigators are usually not used these days with the economy. So I googled the info and found this thread. I knew something was up but I'm glad y'all wrote on here to stop others from sending money to these scammers! I'm in Illinois

I just received a phone call from United Legal Alliance from Special Investigator Terri Raymond they actually called a phone line that is used for business purposes only and stated they were trying to get in contact with a relative of mine.

This relative of mine does not live with me nor do they know anything about the business phone line and does not know the phone number to give out the number.

This special investigator stated that my relative put me down as an emergency contact and give them this number. This was hard to believe so I continued to question the special investigator and she was in a hurry to me a call back number and affavidit number.

I asked was this an attempt to collect a debt and she said she did not know and my relative would need to call [protected].

I attempted to call the number back and was given prompts but I have a mind to call them back and record them. I will not pass this information on to my relative. I believe this is a SCAM!

i just listened to my msgs & i got one from nancy parker special investigator i put a call in to my atty then googled the # and found this thread, thankfully! i feel so much better! oh my gosh i can not begin to tell you how much stress this stupid message they left caused me, my mom and my boyfriend! what a terrible, terrible thing to do to somone.

These same people did the same thing to me a week ago and I fell for it, It scared me about their accusations. The account they were talking about, I knew about it but the amount was greater than what I owe. I did give them my bank info, but they didnt make the transaction when they said they were, so I pulled up my credit report and ssaw the correct amount that I owed and called that credit agency and they let me know that they were frauds. I had to rush to the bank and close my old account that I had since I was 7 years old and open a new account. Im in the process of making out a complaint at this very moment. I cant believe these people are getting away with this!

I just received the voice mail message of a call from these folks...to an acquaintance of mine, same modus operandi about a complaint being filed and restraining order, etc. I have no idea how they got the friends phone number associated with my name.

I returned the call, and the people that answered are so stupid that they make the average collection agent look like a genius. I was hoping to get some kind of a location address or real name so that I could chase after these folks to make their life a living hell. Of course, they are unable to provide souch information because the whole operation is a poorly operated scam. By the way, I'm an attorney, and I do collection cases for both creditors and debtor defense.

I received the same call, but it was for my friends mother. I called the number and then did a google search on the name of the company and this is what I came up with. A long list of people like myself who is being harrassed. I did not get a chance to speak with someone because of the time that I called. Great to know that blogs like this are in operation.

They are still at it, I received a call this morning from a Craig Jones "Investigator" from United Legal Alliance. He told me that there was an affidavit for legal action on me out of San Antonio, TX. His "role playing" of an investigator was very unconvincing; he hesitated to answer my probing questions with regards to the legal action he was talking about. He gave me a phone number to call [protected] and told me it was imperative to call that number IMMEDIATELY upon hanging up with him in order to verify my address. So upon hanging up with Craig Jones I immediately called...THE POLICE!

I just received one of these phone calls the lady left a message on my machine. Her name was Nancy Parker she said that I was in violation of a compliance code 7592. Give me a reference number, and told me that it was regarding a restraining order . I Google the number it belongs to a lock smith in Texas. I called the number and it belongs to a company called United Legal Alliance. I searched the web for the company and found out that it is a scam thanks so much for people posting what they found. My husband and I thought it was weird to have a restraining order against me in the state of Texas. We live in Missouri. She also told me to give these number to my attorney and Good Luck!

Just posted about this phone call. Just talked to my attorney and He said do not reply it is a scam. A bad one at that!

Make sure you drill them full of questions, and if they happen to get one right (of the which I doubt they will). Don't give them any, I mean any of your information. My arguement with these jokers was that even if they gave me this I.D. number and phone number to call, I'm not obligated to call and find out anything. I then proceeded to tell them "There better be someone a police or whoever it is that can serve me a suppina come to my door".
By the way they won't tell you a thing about who has a complaint, or pertaining to what it is for. They told me I had to find out with the I.D. number and phone number they wanted to give me. I never accepted there gimmick, but I can't say that I didn't know it was a gimmick at the start. They did sound pretty convincing, but at the same time they conveyed the spirit of a go get em telemarketer. THANK GOD FOR DISCERNMENT!

I just received a call from Mike Jones (what a good fake name don't you think) from United Legal Alliance...GUARANTEED FRAUD...I have perfect credit...never had a debt in my life...so I can tell you this company is fraud...plus I called back and I am an attorney also and I am trying to get information out of these guys to shut them down...there causing several people headaches for no reason...if you find out any details where they are located or any different numbers please make a post and I will check this board periodically. Thanks

I had this stupid so called "Craig Jones" call my mothers house tonight. I had picked up the phone first he told me ma'am this is not a bill collector and i am not trying to sell you anything i promise. I am a special INVESTIGATOR and this is a very serious matter. It made me concerned for a moment until he was asking for ******** Hill Jr... there is no "jr" in my family. he said well this guy is trying to use your mother and fathers name... that there was a legal matter going on with this guy and he is using there names... So then i gave the phone to my mom. She was asking him questions and he wouldnt answer any of them! no number, nothing that it was concerning, and no more information because he said he "would lose his job if he gave out info"..The only thing he gave us was CRAIG JONES and UNITED LEGAL ALLIANCE! my mom could tell that he was trying to get off the phone while she was asking him questions...
THEY ARE TRYING TO GET MONEY... THEY ARE A JOKE! STUPID SCAM PEOPLE! WATCH OUT (tis the season for desperate idiots)

My mom got a call like that this morning. It was a private number and they did not give a name. They stated that I had some complaint against me, but didn't say what. My mom started peppering him with questions regarding his "investigator status" and he couldn't asnwer why he couldn't find me his self and such. She even said call me back with out a private number and we'll talk, knowing she wasn't going to give up anything. She wanted to find out more from this. I live a clean life and work for a police department, so watch yourselves.

They called me from a restricted number and I received a message from a man claiming to be a special investigator. He stated there was a very serious legal claim filed against me and something about a restraining order. I googled the company and found numerous scam complaints on this website.

Same tired scam. Have to admit, the voice mail got my heart racing. A "Maria Jackson" left a message and said a restraining order and complaint had been filed against me. Said my docket number was BSMC1714 (the BS part was accurate), and I had 24-48 to have my attorney refute the complaint. Said the file showed a reference number of [protected].
Don't even waste your time calling these criminals.

I would love to know what we can do about this, beyond ignoring them. They haven't even called me, but they are calling my boyfriend's phone asking for me. "Investigator" Craig Jones says someone has filed a legal complaint about me, something about court action that I must be present for. I can forward the info to my attorney. Leaves me (well, my boyfriend) a case number & a phone number to call him back at. The phone number was [protected]. He mumbled something about a restraining order blah blah blah. I listened to the message at least 6 times and still couldn't make out what he said in his oh so professional Ebonics. What a joke.
If someone has any idea of a solution... I am all ears.
I don't want to call this guy (Well I do, but what I would say probably wouldn't get me anywhere so why bother)
I'm worried if I do call, it will somehow have a negative outcome on me.

i just got a message from my brother in law, they called my mother in laws house, dont know how they got her number but a voice mail was left at her phone and said this is Amanda Tuka that there was a complaint against me and to call them at [protected] when i called i got a voice person saying you are calling united legal alliance, so i went on line and here i am.

i just a message from my inlaws. apparently they called her house leaving a message saying that there was a cxomplaint against me. and to call [protected] called but only voice mail that says you are calling united legal alliance so i hung up and looked it up in internet and i got this page. good thing i already got scamed this year i am out about 8000.00 and i had to pay back the bank, i don't need to have or receive any more scams what is happening in this world.

Sounds like what I am going through but they have gotten smart and changed names and #'s. the names used now are Dean Marshall and Sean Willis but are the same guy. The number is located in Kentucky but when asked where the company is located they state New York. The number shows up with a plus sign (+) prior which means it is being re-routed. My friend and I told them they were dealing with southern women and don't know what we are capable of and since then we have stopped receiving calls. Dean actually used my friends number to call me to get me to answer. BEWARE!

I RECIEVED A PHONE CALL SAYING THAT THERE IS A COMPLAINT AGAINST ME! WTH I NEVER DONE ANYTHING SO WHEN I CALLED [protected] THEY SAID IT WAS A LITIGATIONS OFFICE AND THAT I WAS BEING SUIED! SCAM FOR SURE I NEVER HAD A CREDIT CARD IN MY LIFE! SMH SOMEONE NEEDS TO REPORT THEM ASAP!

I reported these "genlte" men to the Federal Trade Commission. I was informed there is an ongoing investigation and this is a scam so every and anyone else receiving these calls need to do the same

I received a phone call today from Nancy Parker. She wanted to talk to Michael Stellar. I have no idea who this person is. She was so mad and was frightening to make me go to court. She said that my information was listed as his contact. But she didn’t tell me anything about my name or address or what ever, just my phone. She did say I need to call back to [protected] and give them a case number to take my number off the list. I called some other girl picked up. I asked if they have Nancy Parker and that I need to file complain and speak to her manager, after a minute of wait I was speaking with another not so nice person – Tasha McGadi. She said that they will remove my number. We will see. All people at this United Legal Alliance sound young and unprofessional, all African-American, not other accents. Not sure if this is scam or not, but they maid me pretty mad.

Thanks to this website, I was able find out it was indeed a scam! These people left a message in my home number saying there was a complaint against me and I needed to reply within 24-48 hours or a restraining order would be issued. The phone number as stated many times was [protected], that's what led me here. Like someone said previously, you are entitled to find all debt information, I wont even bother calling them back although I'm sure my other half would love to do so for ### and giggles. Anyways, it wasn't my name but it was my last name, someone who I have never heard of. Anyways, heads up and glad to see website like these exist!

, NY-- The United States Marshal's Service Fugitive Task Force in Buffalo needs your help in locating a suspect who failed to surrender to state prison.

Tobias Boyland, the former owner of a number of debt collection agencies in the Buffalo, fled following his conviction on weapons possession.

Boyland's conviction was affirmed by the Appellate Division December 30. He was supposed to surrender to serve his sentence on January 7, 2011, but failed to appear.

A warrant has been issued for his arrest and his bail has been revoked.

Boyland, also known as "Bags of Money", was under investigation by former NYS Attorney General Andrew Cuomo for using illegal practices to get debtors to pay.

If you have any information on Boyland's whereabouts, you're asked to call Crime Stoppers at: [protected]. You could be eligible for a reward up to $1, 000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of this suspect.

Well, they're still at it. They called my dad's house about my ex-husband (we've been divorced for 12 years) who apparently has a restraining order against him. Since my ex HAS been in a lot of legal trouble (and had just gotten out of jail yesterday) I was certainly interested in what they had to say. I asked her about the restraining order and she said it wouldn't be against his person, but against his assets. She refused to discuss it with me since I was truthful about who I was... too bad they apparently aren't.

its funny how this company doesnt know how to use proper words in making these calls. restraining order? so who do we have to stay away from? its amazing how people can actually work for a company like this. its good to know that so many people are on to them.
