I have received calls from this alleged debt collector for at least six months off and on. They harass my family as well and will call from random numbers using VoiP and RoboCalls to harass individuals.
I have started recording the conversations and saving the voicemails. Most recently, I received a threatening voicemail (after my family also received the same voicemail), indicating they would be serving me legal papers for a civil lawsuit at my home and work the day following the voicemail left -- Less than 24 hours after leaving the voicemail "or else."
BG&M ASSOCIATES THREATENS TO SHOW UP AT WORK....HARASSES ON WORK PHONE
While the voicemail was left by a "Mike Jones" with "US Document Services," the return number (left as 877-679-4218) directed a return phone call back to a BGM & Associates, formerly BG&M Associates/BG&M Funding/BGM and Associates. The associate on the call, identifying himself as Zach Taylor, stated he was representing Edward T Weber/Edward Weber, Attorney at Law.
EDWARD T. WEBER HAS RETAINED BGM & ASSOCIATES, A COMPANY DRIPPING IN LAWSUITS
When asked who he was with and the mystery of the unlisted number, Zach Taylor with BGM & Associates indicated they are not listed and demanded to have my full social security number or birth date first before confirming his information. He only stated the company, "BGM & Associates/BGM and Associates" and that he had been retained by Edward T. Weber, a one-star rated attorney on Yelp, by the way (see link below).
In a recent FTC report and blog about similar phone calls from BGM & Associates (and since my uncle works for the FBI), I do not release that information without confirmation of company address and intent -- Much less one that violates federal law and threatens to show up at work. I informed BGM & Assoociates thatat myy employer prohibits phone calls and any business not related to work on my work phone.
THEY ONLY WANT PAYMENT....OR YOUR FULL SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER....OR ELSE?
Once I informed Mr. Taylor that I would not release that information, he proceeded to call me by a pet name and tried to coherce me to divulge my personal information and use my job as a fear factor for information bait. When I said I would be having my attorney contact him, he raised his voice and asked, "WHAT's your attorney's name? Who is it? Is that your BK Attorney? Your divorce attorney? What's his Bar Number?"
DEGRADING, FLIRTATIOUS AND ILLEGAL DEBT HARASSMENT...WITHOUT PROOF OF DEBT
When I said (again) that I would have my attorney reach their office directly and that I would be passing along all the information from our phone call to my attorney, along with a recorded audio file of the conversation, he hung up.
Approximately 10 minutes after hanging up with BGM & Associates, they called my work phone back after being instructed not to and hung up upon answering. My family member also received a phone call from the BGM & Associates linked number around the same time. They have also threatened other members of my family on their cell phones, with phone calls to either or both of them, soon after or before calling to harass me.
WITNESS, RECORD & REPORT. DO NOT RELEASE PERSONAL INFORMATION OR SAY THE WORD "YES"
For this particular phone call, I also had a witness in the room who also monitored the conversation. From this, I have decided to pursue legal action, personally, and the government complaint process and corresponding action with vigor and unwavering diligence.
I have started recording the conversations and saving the voicemails along with a record of inbound numbers for scanning. The company is also not listed with the California Secretary of State, where they purportedly are based, and make calls from Nevada and is reported as a scam collection agency online.
