Collect Pros Michael Ross Collection Scam US Weekly Magazine Carson City Nevada
Received notice from collect pros that they were trying to collect a debt for US Weekly. Since I have never signed up for htat magazine or received a copy of that magazine I called the number on the notice to be directed to their website www.collectpros.com/dispute. Disputed the debt. Will be sending a certified letter officially disputing the debt IAW the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (15 USC 1692g Sec 809 b). Emailed US Weekly, they responded that there is a company in Massachusetts that has been trying to collect from customers (unauthorized). Return address on the envelope is 311 W. 3rd St Carson City Nv 89703 with a Tampa Fl postage permit. Address that they want me to send money is PO Box 4133 Woburn Ma 01888.
I did a search on Google for that company and found many complaints about this company. Mostly that they were trying to collect on debts that are not valid.
Reported them to the Better Business Bureau. According to the BBB website there are 142 complaints, that the company is not physically located in Carson City Nv and the physical address is not known. Website domains collectpros.com and gscmcollections.com are registered to Santrinico Enterprises Ltd in Lamaca Cyprus. Business Mgt: Mr. Michael A. Ross (Manager); corporate filings in some states list the following additional member manager: H&B Capital Holding LLC, Dagit Holdings LLC, and Spyder Marketing Inc. Alternate Business names are Collect Pros LLC, GSCM Collection Department, GSCM. Also BBB cannot determine whether or not they have the proper licensing, bonding or registration to lawfully do business.
Sending a complaint to my State Attorney General's office and to the Postal Inspector (as a complaint for mail fraud). I've reported this business to the FTC and to the consumerfinancial.gov site (possible Fair Debt Collection Practices Act violation).
If you receive a collection request from this company or any of the companies they are associated with do not send them money. Contact the company that they say they are collecting for to verify it's a valid debt. And make sure you report them.
