Stephanie Lowinger owned Neiman, Rona & Associates in Buffalo, NY. In repeated, harassing phone calls to soldiers’ relatives, she and her employees falsely claimed to be lawyers, lied about how much money was owed, and billed fake charges to victims’ credit cards, according to a press release by the New York Attorney General’s office.
Lowinger pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor fraud charge and agreed never to work again as a debt collector in New York State.
