I received the same phone call on my cellular phone and at my mothers home where I no longer live. They seem to call me from random numbers all over for the past few years coincidentally every time I have my credit run. I have officially reported them to the FCC since they have been investigating this type of fraud for years. I blocked the number, filed a complaint and I ENCOURAGE you to do the same thing to!!!
Here's the link to report them https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx
PLEASE REPORT THEM AND GET THESE CON ARTISTS SHUT DOWN.
I got the same call. Said there will be summons sent for two charges of fraud. I told them I spoke to who they say their 'client' is and that their 'client' felt that this was a scam. The lady said well why is it in our office then. The so called client doesn't even service my state. I told the woman I would be more than happy to send her a money order and pay this just to get them to stop calling me just give me the address to send it to. Of course she wouldn't give me the address. I had previously asked for documentation of this so called debt and she said no we do not have time for that we either need to set up payments or get you in front of a judge. She told me the company name is AMG which I can find nothing about. Oh and she first called me from this number which says it's in Seattle Washington then the same lady called me from a Pittsburgh Pennsylvania number. When I called the PA number back of course no one could connect me without a 'case number'. So 15 minutes later I called the "Seattle" number back and same thing. Then I called "Seattle" back a few minutes later and guess who answered the phone. Yep the same lady that had called me from PA not even 30 minutes before.
Validation of debts [15 USC 1692g]
(a) Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing --
(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and
(5) a statement that, upon the consumer's written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor.
(b) If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection (a) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector.
(c) The failure of a consumer to dispute the validity of a debt under this section may not be construed by any court as an admission of liability by the consumer.
Called again followed alfalfa's info asked for an address guy said he couldn't provide that, asked for a customer service number he said why won't I just let him help me, asked what CT stood for he said credit therapy. So I said you aren't actually a law firm like you told me he said we are then got frustrated and started making fun of me and said you can pretend to know what you're asking and google what you want but tomorrow you're gonna see me in court! I said then I know you're lying because it's 6:00 and what court do you know will get you a hearing in a day.. They just called again and left a msg this time it was called process and summons or something
Another day of these calls. This time from 804-591-1748. After calling them back like 20 times back to back and asking how they like get calls back to back she gave me an address of P.O. Box 380 Fairless Hills Pa. I'm sure its bogus. She said she would send out the paper about the debt and I was to wait for it. Riggghhhttt.....
Process and summons - 206-787-9945 called my job and my home six times in the last two days, 9/24 and 9/25 and left a recorded message and treaten that I had commited fraud and they are calling my Human Resources Dept. to get my correct address and permission to come on my job and give me a summons, or come to my house. The girl who first called was very ignorant the first day, and then the second day man called back and left his message. Finally I called the number back and he answered "Can I help you?. When gave him the case number he said the same thing the girl said. I asked his name and he gave me one. I told him what he was doing was illegal and he said it was not. I asked him for his title and company name and got scared and hung up the phone on me. Then she called back again and said since I wasn't cooperating, this was my final attempt. "Good Luck In Court" and hung up.
