Reported by Meiissa on Friday, 05.24.2013 @ 16:57pm reporting number 888-254-0096
I had a missed call from a restricted number. When i checked my voicemail, a monotone yet rude woman (Susan Stone), who left no company name or collection agency name, alerted me of a case number that I was going to be taken to court for. She left a pone number 8883240361 with the case number. Told me I\'d be expected in court tomorrow (24 hours from the message, which seemed ridiculous). I called back and an even ruder female informed me that i was being charged with fraud and a bad check by a payday loan company. That notices had been sent for the last 4 years to a 4 year old WRONG address, and was ruder to me when I told her I hadn\'t lived there in forever. That it was my job to inform them of that and that i was waisting her time and to just pay them the $414 I owed. She hung up on me. I called back and a man stated "i don't even know if the company will ACCEPT your payment at this time, as they have a court order out for you". He told me he'd call me back but hasn't. Since then I've been looking up their phone number and all i've found are "scam" comments from several individuals. Caller: Recovery Process Susan (Suzan) Stone Call Type: Debt Collector

I was getting so many calls on my cell phone I was at my wits end. I was ready to get a new number. I called the number back and they say they are Gemma Communications. I entered my number to have it removed as they instructed but it didn't work. So, I looked up their website and emailed them at contact us and threatened to send them my cell phone bill (which I still might do if it has cost me money). The link for you is below.
Email them at contact us:
