Whaddya know.....the feds went after some debt colletors. I don't think many across the country would be shedding any tears. Hope none of our California peeps got calls from these people. They kept switching names and had like 7 companies. They are also going after them for trying to allude law enforcement.
Federal officials shut down California debt collectors for alleged extortion, false threats.....
A group of California debt collectors have been shut down after being accused of extortion; humiliating debtors by calling their friends, employers and families; and making false threats of lawsuits, the Federal Trade Commission said Thursday.
A temporary restraining order was used to halt four people accused of operating an elaborate debt collection scheme under seven different company names from boiler room locations in Orange and Riverside counties, the agency said.
In a complaint that alleges false and misleading claims, Thai Han, Jim Tran Phelps, Keith Hua and James Novella are accused of frequently changing company names to avoid law enforcement. Some of the names include Western Capital Group, Credit MP and Crown Funding Co.
Using a court order, the FTC has frozen their assets and has appointed a temporary receiver to handle the defendants' business while they proceed with the case.....snip~
