Bass & Associates 866-900-7694 Bank Fraud

I am a federal government employee and these retards called me telling me that i owed in excess of $1500 and that i had until 5pm to send a money gram payment or they would contact my HR department to enlighten them of my using of the govt computers. They also said that i am facing two criminal charges and will be prosecuted if i didnt comply. It wasnt until i googled the name and found this forum, that i stopped taking their harassing phone calls at work. Also, there is another company by the name of Westbury Ventures sending emails to me from Fran Porter, She is also threatning consequences and that my SS# is under investigation. Anybody know anything about her???

Good Ole Fran Porter....FOrward that email and any other correspondence to your AG....They are operating illegaly as well. Westbury Ventures is also known to do skip tracing

Report them right now.

Could you also upload that email in this thread? You can delete any personal info. I would just like to see what I can do with it.

I was also called from this Bass & Associates. The address that was sent to me was 9378 Arlinton Expressway Ste 323 Jacksonville, FL 32225 and the number was 877-281-2220. When I called the company to find out what was going on, they informed me in a very rude manner that I must moneygram them 1582.80 before 12:00am or they would be contacting my state and county and I would be placed in the "system" and be made an example out of. The woman that keeps calling me goes by the name of Bethany Trousky and she made me talk to a lady named Carrie Young. What should I do about these people?

They are under investigation for threatening people with arrest and for accusing consumers of crimes. Send them a letter of validation along with a cease and desist letter. You can find these at my site. Send them certified mail.

I dont know how to upload the email from Microsoft Outlook. Tell me how and i would love to post them.

You can actually just copy it and paste it here.

: If you keep receiving emails from this address you need to respond immediately or further action will eventually proceed.

I just want to take a minute of my time to say this...... that if any of you are having issues with Bass and Associates its probably not the real thing. I am an employee of Bass and Associates and we only have one location that is in Tucson, Az. I can honestly tell you that we are not to ever use such threats at a customer ever. So whom ever has been contacting you I would be very careful on what information you are releasing to them.

Guest us and government authorities understand that.They go by the registered names of Bass Prelitigation/JacksonPhillips and they have have used your firm's name from time to time.

I think this other Bass and Associates company would do well to contact its attorneys and tell Bass/Jackson Phillips to cease immediately using their name. It can't be a good thing for them or their bottom line the more they borrow the name, right?

In response to my previous message.....I'm in the collections department for Bass and Associates. We have had meetings on how to handle the calls that eventually will end up at our office. Our attorney's are trying to get the Attorney General of FL involved now. From what I hear is that the address that they give customers is for an empty building. Its funny when you call their #s they all seem like they are disconnected.

Actually I thought the address was to a UPS Store in Jacksonville. I've also heard that they are based at a hair salon.

There is a legitimate company located in Arizona that when people are scammed by this Jacksonville, FL outfit, they assume the location of the real Bass and Associates located in AZ are the one in the same as Jacksonville. They are not, they are not affiliated with the crooks in Jacksonville.

Yes, the Jacksonville Bass and Associates are addressed to a UPS store on Arlington Expressway. I have contacted the real Bass in the other states, and they are very aware of their name being 'stolen', by a collection company who are behind on their own payments for the UPS mailbox.
