I received a call from a man on 7-16-21 around 5:00pm, who left no name only a message to call back or he would refer this case to skip Tracig he called fro 1-312-292-7859.

They started calling me this week. They can keep leaving messages if they want but I have no debt beyond student loans. Anything prior to my bankruptcy was included in the bankruptcy. 🤷‍♀️

I've gotten calls from Chris, Jared, and Jason. The voice and wording is exactly the same and the length of time is exactly 32 seconds every time, indicating that it is a recording. They never mention who they are calling for, just to call them back "at this number" (but there's never a number) or go to the link on their website. They also call from numbers from around the country (New Jersey, Nebraska, Orlando, so far) or it just routes directly to voicemail.

They have been calling and texting me non stop. They texted me this morning at 730am. I told them that they are violating text opt-in laws and that the bogus debt does not exist. Then they send me this :

“ The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued a final rule that essentially updates the rules outlined in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Among some of the updates made by the new rules, the CFPB explicitly says debt collectors can send unlimited text messages, emails and direct messages on social media platforms to consumers. Additionally, the rule requires that debt collectors who use electronic messaging — such as texting, emailing or direct messaging on social media — need to provide a simple method for consumers to opt-out you made arrangements with is and defaulted on the payment“

So I replied with this:

“ I'm sending this to my lawyer. All of my debt has been paid. Stop texting. This is invading my privacy. And no, I've dealt with other debt in the past and they never text without a text in option especially in New York State. Have a great Easter ”

I just got a VM from “ compliance manager Chris from marlin recovery.” The VM states “this is compliance manager Chris from marlin recovery. I had my secretary leave you several messages last week and have yet to hear back from you. I urge you to take a few moments to settle this matter, again this is very serious and you need to handle this account today please. You can call us back at this number or with just a few clicks at MARLIN RECOVERY .com. We need this resolved immediately. “ They have been calling me every week. 😒

I just received a call to from them but they used my brothers name which doesn’t make any sense how do I stop this van they be violated or charged they intimate people need help

I have been getting calls, messages and texts from multiple #s for this company for several months now. I tracked down the account they claim to be collecting on to the original creditor from 20 years ago. Come to find out this account doesn't even belong to them. It was purchased by a different company back in 2014 and they still own it. The account has reached it's statute for collections. You cannot reach a human through any phone # for this company. The chat doesn't work and no one replies to their online contact feature. They are simply trying to get people to send them money online with no options for speaking to anyone.

remove

I also received the same message.

remove

I just received a call from Marlin Recovery.com Claiming I need to settle my account with them immediately or else, they will take it to the next phase. They have been calling me starting in January of this year! Leaving messages for me! They need to be shut down immediately!

remove

I am pretty sure they are the same "group" that was calling be before as Debt Recover Associates. I reported those calls to the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau... I guess I need to start another complaint.

I've received so many phone calls (even a text) from these guys. Their website is designed so that you can't get to anyone and that so that they can get more personal information from you. I've started saving their VMs so that I have a time record and blocking any number they call from (that usually buys me about a week between calls instead of every two days). I see a mention in the article title and the comments about a lawsuit. How do we get involved? I want these people to have their time tied up so much they can't harass anyone else. Any thoughts on how we all might get some legal action started on them?

In Colorado here. Just had them leave me a message as well. It was from Chris. Says we left a message already and we have heard back. We do need to aspartame if this is a good phone number at this point.Of it isn't, we are going to have to send it to the skip tracing department. And so on... these guys are losers.

remove

I just got another call from them. Went to website and they asked me to enter my social and I was like I’m no, collection would never so I hung up

remove

Second time I called. I called back from a friend at the FBI. When they saw the number they never called me again.

remove

I have received four or five very ignorant messages from a man name Chris from Marlin Recovery. No information besides they are going to be contacting a skip tracer. How do we get involved in the lawsuit for these scumbags?

remove

Hello, I got a call from Marlin Recovery and I do not know what this is about. I need them to please stop calling my phone...

remove

Also received same message this morning

remove

Also received same messages.

remove

They get your name from the caller ID and then claim to have a collection account in your name. These scammers need to get a life!

remove

I got a call from these people so I went on the website and chatted with Marie. I asked her who this debt was from, when it was made, and how much the original debt was. I told her the name on the screen was never a company I had an account with. She told me that I would have to file a report with the sheriff's department claiming identity theft. I told her I couldn't file a report if I didn't know who the company was and when the debt was from. She never gave me an answer. I have not had any accounts in almost 5 years.

remove

I receive a call from them today, I went to there website and they have no information on who I owe and a bank account that is close over 15 years now,

remove

'Chris' left me this VM: "Yeah this is Chris Marlow Recovery again, we had left a message and still not heard back. We do need to ascertain whether or not this is a good number at this point or not or if we're going to have to send it to 'skip tracing' department... followed by instructions to go to their website or call them.

remove

Chris obviously has a lot of time on his hands or every employee they hire is named Chris. LOL. Crazy we all from different parts of the US and got the same call from the same person with the same message. At least they can use different names to make it halfway seem legit. SMH. Get a job like the rest of us and stop trying to steal our hard-earned money.

remove

"This is compliance manager, Chris..." I got this voice mail today with the option to call back or go to their website to handle this issue. My name was never used. My "issue" was not specified. The phone number wasn't left (called from 210-796-0064). There wasn't an account number left to identify my case. Nothing. Obviously a scam.

Last year a "process server" called my job site threatening to serve me on site. I said "go ahead". They never did. Year before "IRS" called about $15000 tax debt. As a disabled adult who has no taxable income this was a good laugh. Now Chris and his skiptrace team are a calling. Never used a loan or credit card as I live within means. From what I see here, SCAM written all over this too. And sorry little Colorado troll yes this is all illegal what they are doing to people.Now, can anyone tell us how to stop? I block number and they come back different number

remove

I have had two calls from Chris, both different phone numbers. Both saying the same messages. Who can we report this too, it is obviously a scam.

remove

Got the same call from a guy named Chris. Said that I needed to go to their website and may a payment. Said that if this was not the right number that they would do a skip trace.

SCAM!

remove

yes, they just call me and wanted me to go to their site, he says name Chris...I left a message for them to quite calling Ill sued them

remove

Received 2 calls yesterday, the phone said scam. Received a call today from Tammy, Alvin, Texas (832) 400-5196.

remove

Just got a call from them based in Los Angles. He doesn’t say what it’s for and says he’s called before. They have but long ago. I ignore it.

remove

Just started receiving calls, went to website they want social security number and personal information and never say who they are collecting for and it will be turned over to a skip tracer

remove

Just started receiving calls from this company as well. Went to the website to see what I was told about - the account they are trying to recover. I have no idea what the charge is for. Information listed is an email account I have not used in 20 years, a bank account closed 3 years ago, and a job I worked at 10 years ago. So, yeah. Complete and total scam. My credit is clean and I don't owe anything.

remove

I live just north of Houston, TX. This happened during the artic disaster last week, loss of power, loss of water and loss of cell most of the week,loss of food, all week. 2:22 am Sunday I receive a voicemail from Marvin of Merlin Recovery? Our credit has been clean for over 7 years. Harassment or not? Wanted a return call about a personal matter?

remove

Received a call from Tammy same as everyone else claiming I could resolve a financial issue by paying.

remove

Received a call from Michael at Marlin Recovery Solutions with the same message about receiving an account against my phone number. It looks like they might be associated with Portfolio who has already had a class action lawsuit against them for harassment over unauthorized calls to cell phones.

remove

I received a call from Tammy looking for my ex husband who has an account in collections. I gave her his phone number to contact about that and she thanked me. I guess it's her job to locate people. That's why we get calls from her.

remove

I also just got a call from Tammy with the exact same voice mail as above. Number was unknown. When I went to the site it said they did find an account attached to my number. The next message is what stopped me in my tracks. It asked for the last 4 digits of my SSN! That is when I decided to research this site!

remove

I also received this message..multiple calls and no messages..Then amessage was left and another day the message was left exactly the same recording.. I have no reason for collection. And also when to web site and no information to be found..just name somehow.. scam

remove

Just got this same call from tammy, the number was 1 888 745 3481.

remove

That's the message I got also, but my phone never rang, nor did a number show up. I was left a voicemail only. Usually a sign of a scam.

They mention that they have received a Fax document or some sort of complaint and that there is a pending legal matter or action about to filed against you to create the sense of urgency. They tell you that they are a “process server” and cannot give you the particulars of the case since the file is sealed. This is simply ruse to get you to call another number (often with a made-up case number) where they will ask for money to “make it go away” (this is actually the same place, they work in teams, one pretending to be the server, and the other usually pretends to be a lawyer).

They threaten to serve you at home or at work. They tell you that if they serve you at work then they will need a supervisor, security, or HR person there as a witness, hoping that will cause you to panic over the alleged embarrassment of being served at work. They also tell you that you will need two forms of ID. None of which is true.

Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them. Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else. They certainly are not going to pass up a paycheck by telling you that you can avoid being served, they are not going to give you an extra day or even a few hours to get a “stop order”.

Court documents are time sensitive and must be served within a certain amount of time. Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there really is a lawsuit that has been filed against you.
