**Scam Campaign Report: Cross Country Financial Corporation Debt Collection Scheme**
This campaign involves a coordinated debt collection and credit repair operation centered around phone number 8882337130, which has generated 48 FTC complaints and 30 FCC complaints specifically targeting consumers with debt reduction offers related to credit cards, mortgages, and student loans. The phone number has been reported together with Cross Country Financial Corporation, a company that has received 3 CFPB complaints in the credit reporting industry. Cross Country Financial Corporation operates in conjunction with Credit Corp Solutions Inc., a debt collection company that has accumulated 2,727 CFPB complaints, indicating a significant pattern of consumer harm.
The campaign demonstrates geographic targeting with concentrated activity in Scottsdale, Arizona, Lexington, Kentucky, and Milford, Connecticut. Community reports reveal that businesses are receiving near-daily phishing faxes from entities using similar names including "Cross Country Loans," "Affordable Loans," and "Trust Business Capital," all offering small business loans. This suggests the operation has expanded beyond individual consumer targeting to include business fraud attempts through multiple communication channels.
The relationship network shows these entities are consistently reported together by consumers, with Cross Country Financial Corporation serving as a connecting hub between the phone-based debt reduction calls and the broader debt collection activities of Credit Corp Solutions Inc. The high volume of complaints against Credit Corp Solutions Inc. (2,727 CFPB complaints) combined with the cross-reporting patterns indicates this is likely a sophisticated operation using multiple business identities to target consumers struggling with debt.
To protect yourself from this campaign, never provide personal or financial information to unsolicited callers offering debt reduction services. Legitimate debt collectors and credit repair companies are required to provide written verification of debts and cannot demand immediate payment over the phone. If contacted by 8882337130 or any entity claiming to be Cross Country Financial Corporation, hang up immediately and do not click any links in emails or faxes. Report these contacts to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or file complaints with the FCC for unwanted calls. You can verify if a phone number has been reported as fraudulent by checking with the FTC's consumer database or conducting online searches for the specific number.
This campaign represents a high-threat operation given the substantial complaint volumes and multi-state targeting pattern. Consumers should exercise extreme caution with any debt-related offers from these entities and report all contact attempts to federal authorities to help build cases against these operations.
