Has anyone ever heard of this law firm? I searched on the internet only to find that they are a supposed scam law firm representing payday loans. She told me in her voicemail that if I don't return their call by today, they will be filing papers in my county and she actually named the county. The number she left was 800-351-4253. Her name was Rebecca. Has anyone dealt with them?

Haven't dealt with them, but... That statement about filing papers unless you pay RIGHT NOW is called 'overshadowing.' It's designed to overshadow (deprive you of) your right to have them validate the debt, and it's illegal as hell. That alone should tell you something. Did she say what she was collecting for?

No, the only message she left me at home AND word, was she was calling from Lombardo, Davis & Goldman and I have two complaints against my social security number that she needed a return call. There was another number that came up on caller ID 716-335-9654, but she left me an 800 number to call. If they were a ligit law firm, shouldn't they have a website?

Not all law firms have web sites.

Just curious here... Do you have any idea what they might be calling about?

You can certainly call them back if you like. I'd think seriously about recording the call, if that's legal in your state. Verify your name and mailing address, then tell them you'll be expecting something in writing. Then, just hang up. There's nothing to be gained by conversing with them. If they become abusive, hang up. You aren't required to put up with that.

What state do you live in? We can check it for you, right fast like.

Also, do you know how to record a call? Lots of folks don't. If you need help, ask. I have a guide I can send you.

I live in Pennsylvania. And No, I do not know how to record a call. They just called me AGAIN at work and on my cell. She said that I have two formal complaints against me regarding contract & theft by deception. What the heck does that mean? If anyone has an address for these people, that would be helpful so that I can write them a C&D letter. I just checked my work VM and she said that I have two formal complaints against my SS # and she wanted to discuss some options with me before she files paperwork with my county's clerk. Is that possible?

Do I have the right to tell them I am recording the conversation and if so, how do I go about recording a conversation over the phone? I cannot find any other information on this supposed law firm.

I sent him a private message. Thanks for your help. I just need to find their address now. I didn't have any luck on this website, unless I didn't search the right way.
