Scam Phone Number 18886091428, Bill payment scam. Michelle Stevens, "Brookhaven Legal Services" SCAM.
I was contacted yesterday by a woman claiming to be Michelle Stevens 888-609-1428. She said she had an affidavit that was going to be filed in two hours for my arrest. I asked what I was being charged with and she said two counts of wire fraud on a financial institution. I assured her it was a mistake to no avail. I was told to call Brookhaven Legal Services @ 304-241-0171. They answer the phone by saying, ’Mediations’. The person who answered said her name was Amy Blair. She transferred me to an attorney named Greg Mansell who said unless I paid 500.00 right now he would not give me a court release number and I would be arrested at my home or place of employment. They knew both my cell number and my work number and work address (scary).
Michelle called me back this morning and said I would be arrested today and I told her, ‘ ok- tell me where to turn myself in’. After putting me on hold for a very long time she told me to go to my county court house. I pressured her further and asked for the exact address. After another extended hold she told me the address and room number. I am sure she didn’t realize I worked for the courts and was familiar with the building.
After further investigation I learned that there were quite a few people online being harassed by the same phone number.
Also, the attorney name they are using is unaware of any of these actions as I called him and told him of his name being used.
L Epps Reported: this woman called my neighbor and told her to contact me, and when I called her back she talked very ugly and I hung up my phone

Police Scam
It's nice to have someone who work for the courts, explain the bogus debt collection scam! Thanks!
The call is complete scam!
They call hundreds of people out of a list and repeat the same story to everyone. The scammers either buy database containing personal information or build such databases themselves, by collecting data over the internet or by calling potential victims impersonating law firms, banks, utilities and other trusted service providers.
They use high sounding names like “Brookhaven Legal Services” to give the call a look of legitimacy. If only people who get such threatening calls could ask the caller about his whereabouts, the scam will unfold. The crooks will refuse to give office location or provide address of an office which has nothing to do with them. All that we need to do to expose scam, is to grill the caller. If the call was legit, the caller would have been happy to provide information.
Consumers should NEVER PRESUME that they are being called, in relation to any old debt that they may have. The callers make wild phishing calls to thousands of numbers hoping to scam, a few. Or they might have bought old loan portfolios from original lender and trying to collect unlawfully. They may have only sketchy info, if at all they have any. In either case, you are NOT liable to pay till you get a Valid Notice in the mail.
IMPORTANT: You should NEVER pay any caller who refuses to send a Debt Validation Notice as per the format specified in FDCPA(Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) Don’t get alarmed by talk of, serving papers, arrest, court case, prosecution and such stuff! These are totally bogus claims made only to scare you!
Calling friends, relatives or place of work about someone’s debt and sharing information with them is illegal and ONLY scammers who want to extort money would do that. No legally registered, legitimate company, will ever do that!
The intention of these crooks is in fact to demean and humiliate victims, with the expectation that they would pay up, unable to cop up with the pressure, though they do not owe money to the scammers.
Inform friends, family, and employers a scammer has gotten a hold of your information and not to fall for it and simply hang up.
REMEMBER: If you pay money to the callers, to “settle” any old debt, you would be making a terrible mistake. Paying these scammers do not make your debt, if any, go away! The scammers will comeback with a different name, scare you con you again.
DON’T share your address or any other personal info with callers.
If any one calls and threatens, ask them to send Debt Validation Notice and tell them that you are AWARE of fraud and have been advised to act ONLY of you receive a VALID Debt Validation Notice.
NEVER call back in response to any threatening Voice Message or any message informing you of serving papers, legal action, arrest etc. IGNORE such messages.
As per law, you need to respond ONLY if you get a Notice by mail (not email)
Scamming the Americans have become an organized business in Asian countries, with a network of illegal call centers manned by low paid workers.
The sole intention of the call is to scam people out of their hard earned money, by pretending to be Law Firms, Investigators, Federal Agencies and Debt Collectors which they are NOT. They usually have foreign accent. And may turn aggressive when you question them!
We should not get taken by CALLER ID which may display a local number. Scammers call using VOIP and they are able to change the caller ID, to any number that they wish to display.
