Don’t Do business with: “Check Management Services [CMS]” (collection agency)

I recently got what I would call a Scam because they made me feel like they were REAL Police Officers and that my wife was in the court systems. I thought I would warn people about this company because of their UNETHICAL Way of how they get their money for claims. I have been tricked and to a point scammed to give them my money and I wanted to warn everyone else about their tactics and who they are. I tried to file a police report but they said that this is unfortunately not a crime because they used the WORD “Investigator” and not Detective in their Voice mail Message. I would encourage anyone and everyone who reads this and being harassed by these people to do a few things:

 

  1. Record your Call with them — It is however Mandatory to have tell them so they know you are recording the call, and get all the information about them. (This will help you tell people)
  2. Get everything in WRITING — Another way that will help in this message because you can warn others of this company who will probably change their Phone number in the future because of this blog Post!!
  3. Now your Rights with Debt Colelction — This is great resource that I should of looked at when this was being done but didn’t. I know know what they can and can not do! Read it and make sure you know your rights. Help fight this injustice by reporting them to the FTC if they try this on you!!!

Anyway these are some of the things you can do to fight back against this company. I know will tell you what I numbers and people I have found to help others who have scared us honest working Citizens.

Some of the People that I found to be with this company are:

  1. Chief investigator Morgan or “Lead Investigator”1
  2. Case Investigator Rogers1
  3. Investigator Mills
  4. investigator Tyson
  5. Todd Williams
  6. Lester Kincaid

These are just a few that I have found but If you get a call from someone else please leave a comment on what happened so others can find this post and also be warned about this company. Now I will talk about the Numbers that I have found to be associated with this company:

  1. 877-485-50402

5 things to do when You get scammed and burned!!

I usually don’t like to talk about this but I was recently scammed by a scam artist who tried to make me believe they are Police Men and they were court appointed “Lead Investigators“. Suffice it to say that I found out two or three days later from friends and family that this was not right. After Googling the Number “1-877-499-9473“. Which if you are like me quite confused but thankfully I had other resources like what my Credit Card said and they said it was “CHECK MANAGEMENT SERVICES 716-6942500 NY“. Anyway I have already talked about one scam when it comes to cash checking.  I also want to talk about how you can tell if it is scam, some of the more common things t hat I find are:

 

  • Must Pay Now — These are scams that say that you can get something for really cheap, if you pay now.   This should always be the first flag.
  • Scare Tactics –  These are scams that try to scare you into buying a product or giving them money because something is about happen.   They try to confuse you into paying.   This is also one of the RED Flags.
  • Free products –   Here is another that I find because you have to read the fine print and see that you aren’t really getting it for free but trial and that you will be charged for the product after a certain amount of time.   This is another RED Flag, in my opinion.
  • Pressure Tactics –– This can be anything from constantly calling you to making radical claims about product.   If you have any doubts.   Always ask yourself “Could this be to GOOD to be TRUE??

I know I will have missed a few key ones but these are the ones that I see all the time. I know want to talk about what you should do:

  1. Call your Local Police Department and File a Complaint–  This is a must because most banks and credit card companies require proof that there was a crime committed.   By doing this you are fighting back against the scam and showing them you will fight for your rights.
  2. Call Your Bank or Credit Card Company — Now since you made the complaint you should now have your bank or Credit Card company reverse the charges so you can get your money back. You will have proof that this was illegal and the bank/Credit Card will comply with all Local or State laws. This seems a sure way to get your money back.
  3. File a Complaint with the BBB — This one can be tricky if you don’t know who the company is but if you look at your credit card information and Google it you might get an idea to where look
  4. File a Complaint with the Federal Trade Commission — This is one of those that you have a choice in how your proceed but this will help out when all else fails. They might even be able to give you more information about the company and help you get your money back. This is however just a guess but it is a good way of fighting scammers.
  5. Tell you Family and Friends about the Scam — This is also important because most of the time these scammers find you by talking to your family or friends. So warning them can keep them from getting to close. Although it will not always work, it does provide a little protection down the road.

I intend to file my complaints to all the above plus more to fight this particular scam so I can get my money back. I am sure this isn’t over by a long shot but I do Hope this has helped you in a small way like it help me. If you have come here trying to find out information about the number and haven’t paid them, don’t do it. Call you local Police and report them and still report them to as many places as possible to help those who have been scammed or could be scammed. If you know anyone who has been scammed maybe it is time to show them this article so they can find out how to get their money back.

Have a Good Wednesday, See you Friday!!
