Collect Pros review: collections scam 203

Received the same demand for payment for supposedly receiving US weekly Magazine and demands payment of $365.75 First of all I would never order a subscription of a magazine, wanted ever magazine I want to read I buy it at the supermarket. And they Demanded I remit the money to Collect Pros, P>O> Box 4133, Woburn, MA 0188.
And when you cannot even reach someone by phone you know it's a scam. Turning this letter over to our local law enforcement as well and the FTC and the FCC. Gail the shedder

Today I received a bill from them stating I owed $224.15 for a us weekly magazine that I have never ordered. I called and was told to go to the website to fix this. What do I do? Has anyone else received this?

I just received a letter saying I owe over 300$ for us Newsweek magazine..I never would of ordered a magazine from them let alone a345$ magazine..what do I do..I did try calling the number they gave in the letter but when I get to where I talk to someone I'm disconnected..I live on as..I would never order anything like that

I received a letter from COLLECT PROS stating I owe them $365.75 for a magazine order from February 2015 to now for US Weekly magazine. I have never ordered any magazine from anyone. When you call the phone number on the letter it does not give you an option to speak with a rep. This letter is very intimidating & intrusive. Not only that, I am getting phone calls left & right telling me that someone is trying to hack my computer & they ask me to get on my computer now. I told them I will call my technician & then they hang up. Tired of these crooks, someone needs to do something about this ASAP!

Received a letter from them yesterday for US Weekly. Says I owe 299.25. Never ordered or received this magazine. I will be contacting US Weekly today. I've reported them to the consumer financial protection bureau help.consumerfinancial.gov this is also against the fair debt collection practice act. There are complaints with the better business bureau, the company never responded to. If you get a letter from them don't pay and make sure you file complaints against them. I will be sending a letter to my state attorney General today. And maybe our postmaster, couldn't this be mail fraud too?

We received a letter demanding $274.05 for the US Weekly collection - we had not even heard of the magazine at the time. Faxing the letter to US Weekly, posting the scam on Facebook, and turning the letter over to our local law enforcement.

Got the same letter from Collect Pros saying in collections for US Weekly Magazine. Owe this amount $365.75 same as above other commenters. Just what I thought it is a scam. Will fax a copy to US Weekly tomorrow regarding this scam about their magazine.

I contacted US Weekly and they said for me to fax them the letter so they can deal with the "Fraudulent company sending these out" he said disregard the letter and do not pay it. Which i honestly had no intentions in doing.

I received a collect letter from COLLECT PROS FROM N.V. For $365.75 for US Weekly magazine. I never order or received. I have PO BOX, the post office said I never received any magazine. Called US Weekly they said they do not show me at all buying any magazine, then they hung up on me as did collect pros. dated 05/11/2015.

I have a letter about US weekly Magazine from Collect Pros also, stating that I owe $299.25. I have never ordered nor did I receive the
US Weekly Magazine. I filed a dispute online, but am confident it is a scam. Some people may pay, but I am not about to be taken for such an outrageous scam. ConniO

I was about to flip my lid at first. But, I got in contact with US Weekly Magazine and they could see that I never had a subscription with them. They are investigating this situation. I definitely believe that this is a scam. It is such a coincidence that I have the exact same amount to pay as the previous Rp205 of $365.75. They tell you to go online to dispute this but its still a mystery how to do it but I will figure it out.

I got a notice today from "Collect Pros" indicating I owed $365.75 for US Weekly Magazine that i have never subscribed too...i filed this under "GARBAGE" as i have never ordered or received any such magazine...you want your money, come find me ###s...

I just got a letter today from Collect Pros saying I owe $365.75 to US Weekly magazine. I have never in my life ordered magazines! No answer on the phone and after reading other comments I'm afraid they have my number now! Who do we contact?

I received the same thing as well i got online to try and dispute this i have never ordered magazines and sure wouldnt order any that cost $365.75. I tried contacting the company but all you get is a repeatitive message.. Is this a scam or did my identity get stolen? What do i do?

Received the same demand for payment for supposedly receiving US weekly Magazine and demands payment of $332.50(that's more than an annual Wall Street Journal subscription). Demanded I remit the money to Collect Pros, P>O> Box 4133, Woburn, MA 0188.

I said to myself "WTF." May I suggest to all of you who received the same demands for a subscription you never ordered, never received and are concerned about your good name and money -- forget it, it's simple -- they try to scare you into making a payment. Do yourself a favor public -- throw the piece of paper in the waste basket. Me, I like to shred as I feel I am ripping their fraudulent efforts apart. And since I am going to dinner shortly, I will have an extra glass of wine and toast the ###s at Collect Pros. Shred it baby.

I received a letter today saying I owe 365.75 for a subscription to us weekly magazine. I have never ordered or received a magazine. When I called to dispute the debt I actually got through to someone who told me I could pay 20% of the debt and it would be settled. Told them I wasn't paying any %. What do I need to do?

I just received a letter today from the same company stating I owed $274.05 for weekly magazines which I did not order. I called the number and did talk to someone. They told me they could not discuss the matter with me, that I would have to go online and write a letter of dispute. Why so the can get my e-mail. The website for this did not come up. They really have my blood boiling because the lady I was talking to hung up on me. Huh that should tell you something. I did tell her that they were not going to get any money from me because I did not order anything. She tried to tell me I ordered the magazines online which I know is a lie. Any thoughts?

Received a bill from Collect Pros for US Weekly Magazine for the sum of $332.50. I have never heard of the magazine let alone ordered it. I don't like having magazines cluttering my house, so I don't order them. Who the H are these people? No human to speak to, just a stupid voice saying pay on line or by mail to some PO box in Woburn, Ma.
Hello, Fraud Team-FBI, get these guys.

collect pros sent me a bill this is a scam

I have found that its not a real collection. Go to the site collectpros.com and send them a email disputing. They will send a email back saying its cancelled

I received the same letter but did not order any of their product. I hope someone can stop this company.

I live in California, and I also got the same letter from collect pros. They said I owed $99.95 for a product I never ordered and if I don't pay till 5/3/15, it will raise to $119.95.. I'm very upset at this.

This is ridiculous and scary at the same time. When are evil individuals going to stop scamming the people. I received a letter as well on 4/3/15 for $79.95 for Pure Garcinia. I called the number and it does not give you the option to speak with an individual. I tried the website several times and it does not appear on my screen without an issue. The letter said if you want to dispute it, you should write to them. Has anyone done this?

I'm not falling for it if we are all going through this false collection letter. I have a credit score of over 800 and never had an issue.
Thank you for posting this. Good luck to all.

I too received a letter saying that I owed $79.95 to Pure Garcinia. I also got the sample of these for $4.95. I never received any sort of email confirmation of my order when I made it and the only way that I knew that they received my request is that after a couple of days they took the $4.95 from my account. There was nothing on the website that stated that you were going to be charged for additional product or that it was a "trial offer", just that you would get a sample for the cost of shipping. Our bank contacted us when Pure Garcinia tried to charge my debit card. I refused the charges and had to receive a new debit card. I have NEVER received ANY communications from Pure Garcinia regarding an outstanding balance or that they were going to ship me any more product. I have NEVER received anything more than the sample that I paid for. I want to write a scathing letter on the back of this stupid collection notice, but I'm not sure I want to give these folks the satisfaction, not to mention, I don't think it would stop them anyway. Anyone have any thoughts?

I have also received a letter from collect pros letter stating I owe $79.95 to Pure Garcinia. I Have never received a sample of this product. When I call the number provided, there is not a live person to talk to it is just a recording and how to pay. Not sure what else to do either.

I received a letter from COLLECT PROS saying that I owe $79.95 and if I don't pay it till 05/03/2015 a collection fee will be added and $99.95 will be due.
Last year I ordered just the sample of Garcinia and the company charged me more, but thanks to CAPITALONE I got my money back. Today I called the bank. I have no debts. They are frauds. I am not going to call them. It is horrible how they can make people pay for nothing.

I also received one of those letter today, according to them I owe $79.95 for GURE GARCINIA. Yes I ordered samples but I paid the shipping chargers of $ 4.95 and that was that! I never ordered anything else. I don't know what to do next?

Hello, I also received the letter from Collect Pros. It said I owed $34.94 for something called Elite Coupon Deals. I called and also got an automated service. It is obviously a scam. This is horrible, I am amazed at how m, any people got the same letter.

I went to file a report with the BBB and found that Collect Pros is owned by the company that sells the products and fraudulently charges credit cards for them.

I plan to contact the FBI tomorrow. Fraud is a federal offense and this seems to span several states from what I see in the comments here and other sites. This is so not cool!

I got a letter too about a supposed health and wellness product that I was supposed to of gotten from Elite Coupon Deals for 34.94 in June of 2014. The funny thing about it is they used my maiden last name which I haven't used for over 5 years now. I want to know how to get them to stop.

Their phone number is 1.954.607.1294 got it off the WHOIS WEBSITE *67 before you call so they don't know your number. GOOD LUCK!

I too just received a letter and I have never purchased anything from www.collectpros.com or Elite Coupon just did a WHO IS search to see who owns this website and this is the link that shows: http://www.whois.com/whois/collectpros.com they are tied to http://blog.shophealthstore.com/buy-african-mango-plus/ via Registrant Organization: Santrinico Enterprises Ltd

I am about to contact NBC 5 to report and investigate this as well as Dateline NBC and I urge all who has received this to do the same. Good Luck!

I also received a letter for Mango cleanse product. Idid not order or receive anything Called and got a machine wanting my credit card number. [protected] is the number I called.

I received a letter to for some Mango Cleanse. Never ordered anything nor did I ever receive anything. Tried to call but there is no live person that answers the phone. This is ridiculous.

I too have received a collections letter stating that I owe $79.95 and if not paid by May 5, 2015 my payment will be $99.95. I have not received any product other then the trial sample I ordered and paid $6.00 for. They said that this transaction occurred on December 2, 2014. I have yet to check over my records. I have attempted to call them and just get a recording, went to the website and the same number is listed. Saw that you could contact them through email and tried but there was no option for disputing a claim, it was something that didn't even have anything to do with the collection letter or the site. Really is strange that no other bill or any other contact has never been made until this shows up. I am going to go through my bank records and check on the date they said on the phone. Good luck everybody!

This company "collect pros" is a scam. I received the same collection notice claiming I owed money for elite coupon deals two days ago. My response by letter went out in the mail this morning. I advise all of the complaint forum readers to Not call them. They will have your phone number if you do. The business is run out of a house as well as at least 19 other businesses. These are likely to be "shells". The real business owners are very hard to track down. They are very good at what they do and the federal government is not doing enough to investigate and close these people down! They are everywhere and usually operate as LLC's. These unknown individuals are involved with stealing identities, real estate fraud and the list goes on. They operate numerous businesses, most of them entirely fake and conduct no actual business. It's just a place for them to hide the money they swindle out of people. If you do some digging, a lot of digging, you will find out soooo much and it's scary.

Like Tina B, I received a letter in the mail last week from this company with the exact same wording except for the product Elite Coupon Deals for $34.94. I have not idea and haven't called Collect Pros. My personal information was part of a recent Premera hack and I am even more sensitive to scams than usual. I've contacted my ID protection company (as part of the Premera breach) but haven't yet heard back. I live in Washington state.

i received the same letter for pure garcinia they want 79.99 for something i did not order and when it showed up on my wife's debit card we disputed the charges and the bank refunded us our 79.99 back and had us cancel her debit card.she just got a letter for the 79.99 or 99.95 if we do not pay in 30 days.I will be sending a validation of debit notice to this company to dispute the charges if they can not prove it they are in violation of the fair debt collections act.one more thing my wife had used her debit card at a branch location the made the news for a guy getting caught using a skimmer on the atm that's how we caught the charges on our account cause we started looking real close at the activity

i have recieved a letter in mail today from this company. exactly the same wording but for Elite Coupon Deals. never heard of it at all bill is for 34.94 but will add $20 if not paid. contacted collect pros with no answer. I live in Kansas
