Re: [Scam] Card Services relentless phone calls revisited

Interesting information about the Delta Outsource Group. I haven't heard from the Card Services Scam people for over 6 weeks, but I did file a complaint with the FCC that contained specifics about their spoofing and persistent infringement at the end of April. As expected, I got a form e-mail back from them that was fairly useless. I also re-registered both of my phone numbers with the National Do Not Call Registry, even though it's supposedly not necessary, and I haven't really been bothered by anyone following the 30 day clear-out period after re-registering. Makes me wonder about the validity of the claim that you never fall off the list...

If you want information on this scam and the people behind it I recommend checking out this website:
»onthespotblog.com/the-hu ··· ervices/

The players we know that are now involved, including names and cities are:
Ambrosia Web Design LLC, Chris Ambrosia, Mesa, Arizona
American Debt Negotiators, Ran David Barnea, Boca Raton, Florida
Associated Accounting Specialists Inc., William R. Page, Port Saint Lucie, Florida
Castle Rock Capital Management, Roy M. Cox, Laguna Niguel, California
Concord Financial Advisors LLC, Lee Cestine, Mesa, Arizona
Financial Services Solutions LLC, CEO Unknown, New York, New York
PHL International, Mark Burton, Deerfield Beach, Florida
Premiere Debt Solutions, CEO Unknown, Orlando, Florida
Red Leaf Capital LLC, Leroy Castine, Mesa, Arizona

I have received more than 150 (I have them documented) calls from these criminals. I have filed more that 50 complaints with the FTC however due to the fact that they hide behind spoofed numbers I doubt that they will ever stop any of them. They ask for up front fees and charge your credit card without performing any services.

I find that I am getting great enjoyment by pressing 1 and talking to one of their "reps". I have a phony name, credit card number, and security code that I use. The only legitimate number that I give them is the customer service number from a credit card that I no longer use since the card raised my rates.
I try to ask the criminals as many questions as possibe to keep them on the phone as long as I can. The scammers seem to get upset once they finally figure out that THEY are getting scammed. I guess they think their time is more valuable than mine.

well, they called my cellphone, but since it was an unrecognized number, I didnt answer. Now its just relentless, and its a different number each time. Since number spoofing is now illegal, these fraudsters should be investigated, and despite the fact that the CID is spoofed, the phone companies still know where they originate and terminate.

Some on your list have already been the subject of FTC action, such as Roy M. Cox of Castle Rock Capital Management. Not surprisingly, many are habitual repeat offenders, and are the subject of multiple FTC actions. FTC action is grossly inadequate in these cases. The millions of unsolicited "Heather" "Rachel" et all, Card Services robo calls will not begin to subside until these criminals are charged with Federal Felonies, are convicted and subjected to significant jail time.

Civil action by the FTC against such criminals is totally ineffective. All of those involved know that they are violating FTC regulations. The FTC prohibits unsolicited calls for any kind of debt / interest rate reductions which require up front fees, period, and that is what these robo calls are about. The FTC civil actions have been nothing more than whack-a-mole interference. Which is why numerous individuals are the subject of repeated actions, despite signing prior agreements that prohibit future involvement. The FTC levies huge fines, then rescinds them based on inability to pay. The FTC settles for the minimal cash on hand, and enjoins them from future "telemarketing". The criminals sign off, then go right back to business. The entire operations are clearly criminal, intent to defraud, etc, and should be dealt with in criminal court and not by civil actions.

The banking system is also at fault here, without merchant accounts and ACH processing these criminals could not collect the scammed funds. Though the criminals use obfuscation, layered corporations, multiple bank accounts and offshore stashing, patterns of obvious fraudulent activity become apparent after a short time.

If you are interested in obtaining useful tracking information on the callers, I suggest another angle in the conversations. Act very interested in the rate reduction scam, as you have multiple high interest cards with large balances. Tell them that you don't give out card numbers in response to unsolicited calls. However, tell them that if they provide you with a verifiable number that you will then call them back and provide the info.

Since many of the operatives work on commission they will provide direct contact numbers if they believe you are serious about completing the deal. Verified return phone numbers are an excellent tool in tracking the people behind the operations.

Many of the inbound robo call numbers are spoofed, as most of the bolierhouses, both off and on shore, are using Voip SIP Trunks services. Throwaway DID numbers are also used. Some of the robocalling is operated by the end use scammers directly. Others are contract services who earn a referral fee once you are transferred to the scammers.

In a follow up post I will document one group associated with the Rachel "Card Services" and the pond scum, including a lawyer behind one of the operations. Follow the money ..... track the recipients ... and take a close look at the processors and banks involved.

Some of the above list of players are not quite accurate.
Client Services Inc is a "third party debt collector" involved neck deep in the "cardholder services" scam. Financial Services Solutions, LLC is/was their fraudulent offshore shell, same CEO as CSI. Red Leaf Capital, same ph # and address as one of their "call center service" is showing some health/medical/assistance on facebook!?! So, what the %#* does a "third party debt collector" do with a "Capital" this and a "Financial" that anyway, and who would want to get health/medical/assistance from such a disreputable "third party debt collector"??
Client Services Inc, MO, KS, TX, FL, NY, 636-947-2321, 636-255-3120, 636-255-3214, 800-521-3867, 800-521-3236, 877-655-3439, 903-337-2000, 903-416-6900, 903-337-0770, 407-660-7878, 212-532-1815.

Now for AWD's collection of fraudulant "affiliates".
Ambrosia Web Design, LLC 2906 S Revere Circle, Mesa, AZ 85210, 888,-583-1956, 888-654-2988, 480-703-5818 Shows “not in good standing” - AZ Sec of State docs.

So, which one has the “business address” that was a vacant dirt lot?

Even after reported as using several alias names- “Leroy Castine, Chris Ambrosia, Lee Cestine”, AWD continues to operate and “Rachel-robo-call“.
Just take a look at the available online AZ Sec of State scanned documents. Forms are filled out in the same handwriting!
“Ambrosia” must have forgotten how he signed AFB LLC- “Leroy Castine”, and Concord Financial Advisors, LLC- Lee Cestine”.
Signatures are the same!!
AWD’s “Chris Ambrosia” is signed a little different, but the handwriting is the same!!
Isn’t that a Felony FRAUD?!? It certainly is from the American Consumer standpoint!!

A letter posted to the FTC Facebook page-
Dear Federal Trade Commission,
We hope you will not remove the below comments provided just as they appear online, with poor spelling, grammar, and use of all CAPS. They are important to show the criminal mentality of “cardholder services” business practices. They describe clear violations of not only TCPA DNC laws, but also under RICO-The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

From you tubevideo comments:

Thanks for the info. Judging from all the comments, lives in a van somewhere in south Florida, which is a hellhole of these telemarketing call center scams.

In my post above describing comments from "Damnedsoul53", she says- "bwahaha never gonna stop us!!!!!"

Hmmm. . . I wonder. .
"Damnedsoul53" real name is “Corinne Chamberlain“, a “cardholder services rep" that lives in a van at, or near a public park. The actual call center location may be near Daytona Beach, Fl., but works for robo-Rachel scammers- Associated Accounting Specialists, Inc., out of Port Saint Lucie Fl. 34986, 877-982-7526. Her and another most likely have previously worked for MCS Programs, LLC- Florida office, under Miranda Cavendar, whom were sued by the FTC, and all permanently ordered not to violate any Telemarketing Sales Rule.
