0 irritated 2 Mar 2011 | 2 replies I received 4 phone calls at my place of employment from a lady from this phone number. I am not allowed to receive personal calls at my work. The first time she stated her name was "Alexis", the 2nd time she said her name was "Gina" and the 3rd and 4th time she was very rude and threatening to my boss and called herself "Tabitha". Evidently this is from a scamming debt collector. My boss told her not to call any more and she proceeded to tell her that the police were coming (another threat). And then she back-tracked and stated she worked for an attorney and could she give me a number to call her back at.

I called her back (on speaker phone) with my boss witnessing and listening. She told me her name was "Gina" and my boss told me that was the same lady who said her name was "Tabitha". She wouldn't tell me what company she was from but I do know that this is the same company listed as "Western Performance Group". These people are fraudulent scammers who use "scare tactics" to try to threaten and bully you into giving them money. Please don't fall for this. I almost did. Caller: unknown

0 Cristina replies to replies to irritated 15 Mar 2011 I received a call from them yesterday. She swore up and down that I would be served with papers at my place of employment and my wages would be garnished! HA!! I'm self employed and work from home, so that tells you right there how well they have their facts! She's trying to collect on a credit card that my last payment made was back in 2004. She's claiming that the SOL start on the day the company sent it to charge off which was in May of 2008. First of all, a company wouldn't hang on to it for 4 years before sending it to charge off. Secondly she made the point that she still had until May of this year before the SOL expired. Guess she hasn't done her home work, b/c Texas has a 4 year SOL so if she had her stuff straight, she would know that if it was accurate, that she had another year. I told her that I wasn't paying anything. Then she proceeded to tell me that she could get a $4100 debt down to $947. Whatever! Not getting a dime or anymore of my time!



Glad you didn't fall for it either. They think that they can throw around the 'serve papers' threat. Thankfully I'm a little smarter than that and do my research before agreeing to anything! Sadly though - their tactics have worked on others. Hope this helps!! Reply !

0 Shirley 22 Mar 2011 I received a call on my cell phone yesterday afternoon from a woman named Alexis stating that I owed a debt for a credit card. She said in her message that if I didn't respond to her call that day she would assume the information she had was correct and would take further action against me. When I returned the call she told me it was for an unpaid credit card debt and that if I didn't give her a debit or credit card number she would have me served by a sheriff at my work for a wage assignment and then I would have to appear in court and pay not only the card debt, but an additional $2500.00 for lawyer fees She never gave me any information on what credit card this was from nor did she give a company name. She was very intimidating and still gave no information where this was from. I am greatful for those of you who have posted your personal experiences with this same person. Caller: No Information Was Given

0 Denise 14 Apr 2011 Someone named Alexis from (657)859-6703 called my husband at work today and informed him that she was attempting to collect an old debt of mine. She stated that I had ignored her phone messages repeatedly, (funny since my phone has been unplugged for months) and that I had better get in touch with her tonight or she will have him served at work tomorrow, and garnish his wages.She also informed him she would be filing a case with the DA, and then proceeded to give him a supposed case number as though she had already filed. If I remember right, someone from this company called me on my cell a year or so ago claiming to be an LA county Sheriff, and stated that they were going to serve me the following morning and that I must stay home and wait for it When I checked to confirm this with the sheriffs.office, they knew nothing about it.

Also, I failed to mention that this debt in no way involved my husband. As a matter of fact, he knew nothing about the account and was completely caught off guard. by this phone call. It seems that they operate on scare tactics and intimidation to accomplish their collection goals. They need to be taken down!!!. Caller: no name given

0 masterd 10 May 2011 i also received a message from this alexis woman asking me to call her back with the name of my lawyer

she said she had an officer come to my workplace but i wasnt here so the papers she served were returned back to her

she's very scary...watch out for her wooooooooooo Reply !

0 Brad 18 May 2011 Alexis tried calling my girlfriend and tried telling her that she owed her money from credit card dept. I am looking forward to chewing Ms. Alexis out. On her voicemail, she says, "This is Alexis, please leave me your account # and your name, and I'll return your call." Do you really need an account # to call someone back? Did she mean, "Leave your phone #?" This lady is a joke and won't answer my calls. I work in an office and get chewed out daily by our clients and the manufactures we have to deal with, Alexis sounds like a "wannabe." I look forward to chewing her A** out! Caller: No idea Reply !

0 unknown3 3 Jun 2011 I would like to thank you all for sharing your experiences about Alexis. It saved my life. I had a call from this crazy woman. she told me that if I give her $2000 she will write off all the rest of the balance of the credit card debt that I had since 1998. She also threatening me to with Criminal charges. As you all know, people do not do time in jail because of Credit card debt unless they used someone Else's credit card because they stole it. As you all very well know, once you give these people money, it starts the whole ball rolling again on owing. It is like having these debt come alive from the beginning. I wish so deeply that these people will be destroyed. Thank again you all for sharing. It saved my life. Peace and I wish you all good karma. Reply !

0 sonia 21 Jun 2011 | 2 replies I received a frantic call from my manager at work telling me I had to call Alexis Cruz back or the sheriffs department would show up at work to serve me.The number given is (657) 859-4703.Alexis said she worked for Crescent Jewelers and was trying to collect on a debt.Originally she said my debt is $7,000.00 but I could settle out of court for $1,000.00.I told her I was behind on my rent and had $20.00 to my name.She asked if I had an offer to make.I said I could pay the $1,000.00 off in monthly payments. She refused monthly payments.Said she would rather get monthly payments through wage garnishment.She then suggested that I could make a lump payment of $500.00.Told her I didn't have $500.00 to give.She told me I would have to pay through wage garnishment.Then I called Crescent Jewelers to try to negotiate a settlement and they claimed my account was closed years ago and are not trying to recover the money.Mmmm a little fishy? . . . I then called Alexis Cruz and confronted her, she said she didn't work for Crescent Jewelers that she works for another company that bought the debt.Called Las Vegas civil department to see if I am scheduled to be served with paperwork and I am not.I called to ask for an address and she refused and hung up on me several times.She finally gave me an address p.o. box 836 Tostin Ca 92780.I could hear someone in the backround coaching her as to what to say to me.I think Alexis steals social security numbers and runs credit reports.She claims to work for creditor so that you make a payment to her and runs with your money.That is why she uses scare tactics and wants to settle for any lump amount. She does not want to take payments because she is a scam! NO LEGITIMATE debt collector will call your work or harass/threaten you.Oh yeah she claimed to work for a company named LCS. I filed a complaint against her online with the better business bereau (BBB) and the Federal Trade Comission (FTC). Printed out copies of these posts and gave to my boss so he knows not to fall for her scam in case she sends fake paperwork.Going to file a police report at police station against her.Needs to be done at your local police station because we don't know her physical address.If this happens or is happening to you ask for as much information from her as possible. Stay calm.Get her address, company. If you need to act like you are going to make a payment to get her info thats fine. Say yo don't have a credit card or bank account. Tell her you will mail her a money order and that is the only way you will send it. Once you get that address file reports using the address.File reports against any name that comes up on your caller id too. Good Luck.With everyone's cooperation we can stop her and her goons. Caller: LCS or 1FC or Alexis Cruz

Here is a list of new information. Not just Alexis Cruz but other debt harassers.





After doing a lot of research I found out that she works for a company called Western Performance Group; 13681 Newport Avenue Tustin, CA 92780 (877)-523-3986. If these people; harassing you refuse to give you information it is because they know what they are doing is illegal and don't want you to file a complaint against them. If by any chance you were served with papers call 311 and ask for a number to verify if the papers you were served with were real. They will give you the phone number to a civil services department. Some of the summons papers are FAKE!! They use scare tactics in order to get you to pay. Notice they don't want to take payments? They want a lump sum. They tried that with me. Here are some links to other postings, read them to see if it applies to your situation.

Some tips:

1. If they leave a voicemail, don't respond. They'll think you're a dead end and move on.

2. If you accidentally answer, demand that they validate the debt. Google the term.

3. If they claim that a sheriff is trying to serve you, they're lying.

4. For peace of mind, follow this link:

They're based in OC. That's where they would file a lawsuit. If they claim that you are going to be served, then see if there is a case pending against you. There won't be. Without a complaint filed, there is nothing to serve you papers about.



Their hope is that the threat being served will make someone panic and then try to settle asap to avoid the headache. Don't lose your cool. Alexis Cruz is a big dope. Just stay calm and call their bluff. It's easy. They're frauds. DO NOT PAY THEM ANYTHING! They can't legally collect a debt and they won't file a lawsuit . I repeat THEY WILL NOT FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST YOU.Some tips:1. If they leave a voicemail, don't respond. They'll think you're a dead end and move on.2.

0 Misty 22 Jul 2011 This lady named Alexis called and left a message saying she was going to send me to court for a debt. When I called her back someone answered saying, "Legal department" and asked me to hold. The person who answered after the short hold had the same sounding voice as the secretary. It seemed as if she was trying to play the role of a secretary at a "legal department". She told me I had to pay a debt and that she was taking me to court. The debt she was referring to was from over 7 years ago and had by far passed the SOL. When I told her my father was an attorney she argued with me and threw out unnecessary parenting/guilt comments. I tried calling her back twice after that to request proof of my debt and last payment made. The call just went to her voicemail both times after several rings and this was during normal business hours.Where did the "secretary" go? I really hope she is stopped soon because she brings on unnecessary stress that no one should have to deal with! Caller: Alexis Cruz

0 Valor 6 Oct 2011 I received a call from a blocked number and a woman who identified herself as 'Alexis', said that she was from a collection agency and the agency was representing Citibank in order to collect overdrafts fees that I have made and the bank is suing me for these unpaid fees. She said between attorney and the overdraft fees it will cost me $5000 to clear my delinquency, but if I act immediately and send them $2000 they will take care of it. She also told me to call 6578594703 when I am ready to make the payment. I immediately went to the bank and I was told that there was no such action against me and that my creditability is good. Also, they told me that when I contact " 'Alexis' to make the arrangements to pay the fees etc" bring the information to the bank and they will persue it. So all people out there be careful of 6578594703, this is a big scam. Look out. Caller: Debt Collection Agency
