My son also received phone calls from this woman.Ms. Clemente saying he owes $500.00 to a 900 company for calls made in June of 2004, which he paid in monthly installments to his phone company.She would not give the name of her client,send anything to him by mail,was extremely rude and hung up on me when I called.I found the name Paul Kupferstein by doing a search of the phone number on my son's caller id,the # we have is...905-474-3535.
I will be calling th A.G.for ILLINOIS and filing a cpmplaint with them, I also called the FTC and have a complaint on file with them,and also since finding this site will call phonebusters.

I just received a call today from Mr. David himself. Back in May I received some charges on my phone bill for a 1-900. I called the telephone company disputing the charges though the company wouldn't reverse the charges so I paid it. Mr. David today told me that I was indeed credited and now instead of owing the $28.95 I was charged on the phone bill, I now owe $2700.00 and if I don't pay then my phone will be cut off. I asked how it could jump that high and he stated because the lawyers charge $250.00 an hour, filing fees and interest on top of the $28.95. He asked if I had an attorney and I said yea and he stated that he will see me in court and hung up on me. I called my phone company to see if the charges were ever credited to my account and they said no. I called Mr. David back and he said he wanted my lawyer's name and phone number. I told him to send me all the paperwork they had on me and he said I would see it in court. I asked what court he was going to file in and he said in the state I live in. He is very aggressive and rude. He talks a lot and very fast. He also likes to talk in circles. I did hire an attorney today and he said he was going to call Mr. David himself. I'm waiting to hear from the lawyer. I have never been so made after talking to someone as I was to Mr. David. He needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent. I will keep you posted after I hear from my attorney

As I stated in my earlier post, I contacted the BBB regarding Paul Kupferstein & Associates. The BBB informed me today that after repeated contacts, no response was received from Paul Kupferstein & Associates. It has been logged at the BBB as unsatisfactory. I am surprised that there currently are only 14 complaints against this company. If you haven't filed a complaint against these guys, please do so immediately.

I contacted phonebusters today and made a complaint regarding Paul Kupferstein. They informed me that they have had 250 complaints since January 04. I think anyone who is a victim of this scheme needs to contact phonebusters. I also filed a complaint with an agency that works with various countries to try to discover schemes etc that are out there. I encourage anyone who has had an experience with Paul Kupferstein to go the Federal Trade Commissions website and click on the link for Sentinel to file a complaint.

I have been recieving harrassing calls to my work by this law firm. I have told them to send me something in writing of what I owe. They have sent nothing. If I owe it I will pay it but but I do not deserve the harrassment. My credit references are also being harrassed. Does anyone know their website? I am getting the District Attorney involved. Help!

My attorney called Mr. David to inquire about what all is going on. Mr. David told my attorney that he wouldn't release any information to him without a letter of repsentation which my lawyer did. We haven't heard from him yet. My lawyer did ask what his name was and he said it was Juan David.

Hi Sherry

Welcome to the forums.

Please know that wage garnishment is not legal in North Carolina, Texas, South Carolina and Pennsylvania to pay consumer debt. Only child support, student loans and IRS debt can be garnished in these states.

Apart, a legal notice is always sent with orders from the court and you are asked to appear in the court to defend yourself.

Regards
Roxette

Sherry
I don't know all the details of your situation, but it is doubtful that your home will be sold. Is this an unsecured debt? Was your home listed as collateral on the note?
If it's not a default on a home equity loan, or a home equity line of credit, I beleive that this MR. David is out of line to threaten selling your home.

I received a voice message from Mr. Sargeant, Law Office of Paul Kupferstein in reference to a file #. The voice tone of Mr. Sargeant's message was quite rude. I was confused and concerned about this message. For some reason, I felt that he probably contacted the wrong household. Something told me this was weird. I tried finding out info about the Law Office on the Internet. Luckly, I found quite a few sites re: Mr. Kupferstein. I then contacted my telephone provider and asked them questions about missuse of my phone line. They said that everything was fine and had no record of tampering. I still was concerned about the call. However, I feel that these people are crooks and scammers. I feel better now that I have done some research on them and know that other people have had the same odd experience with these people. Thanks for submitting these messages.

GG,

Reports these activities of Paul Kupferstein to the local attorney general office as well as the FTC and the BBB. Legal actions can only be taken after a large number of complaints have been filed against a particular company. I suggest everyone to fill the online complaint form at the FTC and the BBB. We are sure to expect some actions sooner.

ScamKicker · Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2005 10:53 pm Subject: The LSI and Mr.David Show

These knuckleheads from Markham,ON Canada really believe they can frighten people with their false accusations and threats. It is time for innocent consumers to kick these scumbags out of business.

I had a call from the dimwit Mr. David (aka Zack, Mermer and other guest appearances in previous threads) today with the usual bullcrap of: you are going to be involved in a lawsuit citing the obligatory 900 number scam: see you in court: your phone line is going to be disconnected (yeah right...who thought of that brainstormer)blah, blah, blah! Of course no information on identity was coming forward from his end. After all he is only the monkey for the organ grinder at LSI and is reading from a script written by Spongebob Squarepants, it seems! This moron is not very good at his so called job....and should be fired on the spot for impersonating professional scammers.

Anyway I have already been in touch with several organizations both here in the States and Canada. The general advice is just to ignore them and pass on the information gathered, particulary to Phonebusters (RCMP Division), the Law Society of Upper Canada, the Federal Trade Commissionthe BBB etc. who are all listed in previous postings.

As for you Mr.David, you really should change your alias, as you and your cowardly cronies at LSI are getting quite a lot of exposure on the web and elsewhere. May I suggest Mr. I Crawled Out from Under a Cowpat for your next listing. Very Happy

By the way, say hi to Jay from all of us.

My advice to victims: DO NOT be afraid of their crap threats. The law and consumer groups like this forum are on your side to fight this filth!!

i know this post has been dead for a while but i found it while researching this paul kupferstein. i talked to a David Calls or something from this law office (supposed). it was also about 900 calls from the internet that weren't made. he threatened me with going to court if i didn't cooperate and when i said i refused since i could prove i didn't make those call (i didn't even have an internet connection at the time of the calls!) he said i'd be sued for $3100 and hung up on me. most definately must be a scam. i also hope that people read about it before paying them. thanks everyone for making me feel more comfortable!

I came across an article on channel 2 from Houston. You'll have to find the link yourself. It describes exactly what we are describing here. It is very short but it is apparent this scam is widespread and is gaining the attention of the media.
