Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Can anyone tell me if KBS Collect or KBS Collection located at kbscollect.com is a scam or a legitimate website? The only information that is available on the website is a telephone number. There is no physical address of the company and I cannot find out who is operating it and from where. I can call the telephone number but I am afraid the person on the other end can tell anything. So, I decided to research the company for myself.

They are a debt collector. If you get calls from them just handle your business. Calling someone a scam doesn’t erase the debt.. and if it’s a wrong number just tell them.
LMFAO IF YOU ARE “LEGIT” and not scum then POST YOUR STATE BY STATE Licensing NUMBERS! Prove that you are legit and not scammer scum. Clowns.
I received a call from KBS stating that I was in breach of contract with one of their clients. This is a scam. I am not in breach of contract with anyone. They are threatening to serve me with papers. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! Please report any messages you get from them to help others. There should be a way to stop all these scammers for good!!
KBS COLLECT is a legitimate consumer agency.

Bull Sh*it. This is a reply from one of their sub-human employees. KBS COLLECT is a BS scam company. They are under investigation in 3 states and have been fined in California. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION OR PAY THEM. TOTAL FRAUDS AND SCAMMERS.

Scam scam scam scam scam
On August 11, 2022 at 9:58 am, I received a voicemail from www.KVScollection.com. The message was: "Yes, this is Phillip with KVS. We have received the preliminary paperwork in regards to breach of contract with one of our clients. We really need to get this matter resolved as soon as possible. Please either give us a call back at this number (1-470-461-4056). Or if you prefer electronic communications, go to our website KVScollect.com. Bt law I am required to inform you that this communication is from a debt collector. Thank you." I went to the website and they said that it is for a breach of contract with Sprint for $516. That could not be true because my cell phone carrier currently is Sprint which has merged with T-Mobile. I went to the website to check and see if this company is a scam and they are listed all over the web as scammers.I reported them to the FTC and the consumer complaint department. THIS IS VERY MUCH A SCAM.
I just received a similar message. Phone # 270-303-8705. Happy I looked this up. The message was a little different in that it said they were trying to track down one of their clients???
Received a call today from Phillip. He left a number to a cellphone. He reported I am in breach of contract and I need to contact him immediately to resolve the matter. When I tried to pull up the site, I saw these posts. Thank God for each one of you posting your experience.
Literally just got a phone call and glad I came across your post. Same guy same message!!
I just got one to and decided to look it up. Thanks everyone.
I just recieved a call from ol philipe as well I told him the only contract I breached was with his mother over child support for him all them years ago lmao
thanks for all the reviews this puts my mind at ease
No, it is NOT. Scam site. Don't come here to defend yourself. Get a real job.
Are you sure it's not a scam, I just got a call from them saying they were trying to collect on a breach of contract with AT&T, keep in mind same job 20 years and a credit score of 800, oh and I've never been a customer of AT&T. So either they are scammers or they called the wrong Jennifer that happens to have my same last name and birth date, but they wanted me to give them my SS number and Address needless to say I didn't
KBS COLLECT IS THE NEWEST VERSION OF A SCAM DEBT COLLECTOR. FORMERLY KNOWN AS ASG RECOVERS and prior to that it was SMITH GREGORY. Same trashy scammers. Same contact numbers. Same BS scam.
It is a total scam. I got no mail or calls from this company either but received that same message from Christopher. I think they used AS-G for a contact to. Don’t get scammed
Received a call on a Saturday morning at 7am from Christopher stating they had been trying to contact me via phone and mail. (Never received either) It showed as a Washington State #. Googled the number to no avail. My scam alert caught it and sent it to voicemail. So annoying.
These people have been calling me for a couple weeks & leaving voicemail with their website address, so I finally went to the website today to look. It says I owe $804.19 to First Bank, but no additional details about the account age or account number. I have other debt that I am actively working to settle & all their websites include this information. I also check my credit report regularly because I am trying to clean up my credit. There has never been a debt on my report for this amount or for KBS or First Bank. Called the 888-530-5476 number on the website & spoke with Claude (after their automated system told me how much better it would be for me to just pay via the bot, rather than talk to a person). Claude claims this account was opened in Feb 2006 & was in good standing until Jan 2008. I asked why it's never appeared on my credit report or why I would never receive any collection attempts before now on something so old. He stated that this did seem strange & obviously I was wishing to dispute this debt, so he would mark it down as such & the burden of proof would now be on First Bank & I would no longer receive calls. Unless of course I'd like to just settle it real quick for a reduced price? LOL!This c**p feels scammy af to me, y'all. I know I have debts, but this is not one of them. I feel sorry for the poor people who fall for it & settle for a "reduced price" just because they're worried about their credit.
