716-332-6413

This is a rude collection agency that also calls from 866-826-5663. They are arrogant and continuoulsy threaten legal action. I blocked their number with the phone company. They are Consumer Advocacy Group,who buy bad Payday Loan paper. They have been shut down by several states and are based in New York.

This number (716) 332-6413 called me on October 23, 2012 at 9:44 a.m. and left the following message on my voice mail:

"This is an urgent message for [my name]. You need to contact or call back, immediately, in regards to an important decision being made against you at this time. Our number is (716) 332-6413 or you can press 1 to connect to the office now. Thank you."

I called them back just to hear the name of the company. Someone named Mark answered the phone and said, "Hello, Consumer Advocacy Group. This is Mark."

I looked up the number and found that it is a Buffalo, New York landline listed uner Stephanie Jones, 70 Easton Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14215 [Source: http://www.ypstate.com/info/ny/14050516.html]
