RPM "Receivables Performance Management, LLC" seems to be phishing for people's bank and credit card account numbers. It's really quite scary. Today I received a valid looking letter from RPM. It said I owed them $14.38 apparently from a Sprint charge, and that I needed to contact them if I felt the charge was incorrect.
I called the toll free number in order to inform them of their miss-information, as I have paid Sprint in full nearly 10 years ago now. After forwarding me to three different people with no explanation as to why I was being transferred, the final lady asked me how I was going to pay for the $14.38 charge. When I told her that I had paid Sprint several years ago in full, she asked me how I was going to prove it?

In all actuality, I cannot prove it because I do not keep 10 year old paid-in-full bills. After hearing her argue that I needed to pay the $14.38, I asked if this was some sort of phishing scam over the US mail...she hung up! I guess I got my answer. These people are ripping innocent people off. It is so sad.

A mail had an ups returning label and a box. A letter said that I had a must-return device. Since I never used sprint, I neglected. 2 days later I got another mail claiming that I must pay $147.67 from rpm collection company.

Looks like the first mail made me to feel that I had something to return. If real, it took time to return and process. The second letter could not be received that fast.

Of course, I could see many people's comments for many years. How come this kind of scamming guys can existe for long? Some site claimed rpm is a good normal company, which might be made by them.

Be careful!

Just received a letter from rpm. It's stating I owe $200 for Verizon. I haven't had an account with Verizon in 6 years. I called Verizon myself and they told me I owe nothing. This is a total scam! Don't send them anything!

They sent me a letter also stating I owed AT&T almost $102 and I know for a fact that's not so. Due to the fact I had filed bankruptcy and had included them in it. Not my fault they didn't respond to my lawyer to get their payment .So, my feeling towards that is...DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY! It has SCAM written all over it. If AT&T deemed me as owing them money, I'm pretty sure they themselves would send me something, as they have before. And I have satisfied all debts with them and have had cellular service with them for over 8 years. Imagine that! Just Beware...SCAM, SCAM, SCAM ! I have a good mind to contact the Better Business Bureau and report them. Sounds to me like a good idea. And everyone else should too. Seeing that they have done this on several occasions.
Plus, I agree with "justfedup"...DON'T GIVE THEM A THING!

RPM is a scam. I successfully sued and won $750 owe plus attorney fees regarding a bogus $75 debt. If you were contacted by RPM call Lemberg Law they only deal with RPM and don't charge you a dime. They ALWAYS win thats why they don't ask for money. Jodi Burton at Lemberg Law was very helpful and they are for real.

dulzurachapin RPM is sending and calling people with boggiest past due bills. they went as far as telling me I owed a bill that I had paid 12 years ago. they did not like it when I had proof that I did pay it. then 3 months later they sent me a letter for the same bill. I sent the bill and proof of payment to states attorney. so if you get a letter from RPM or receive a call don't give them a thing.

fraudulent collections is a scam - I get "IRS" calls all of the time, but never from the IRS. When the caller has to hide who they are, and will not disclose why they called - it is a scam.

Here's an idea, learn how to form a proper sentence. Just because a collection agency tells you that you own them money doesn't always mean you do. But being the rocket scientist you seem to be, you should have known that.

I also received something from them which was for a Verizon bill I paid/satisfied back in 2008. I also do not keep 2-3 year old records and did not have anything to prove that I had paid. Suffice to say, I am not giving these crooks any of my money. It's creative what they're doing but someone needs to be put in jail ... and it's not me ...
