It's a scam. They have been calling off and on for about a year. Different phone numbers, different people who call, but it's always the same message. I block the numbers once I get a new one.
The one today said it was an attorney but didn't give me his name. They make it sound official so they scare you into paying. But don't give any information or verify any information over the phone. I believe if it is legitimate they would send me something to my home address. I've lived at the same address for 20 years so it shouldn't be hard to contact me if they are legit.
I just picked up my message and right away what comes across my mind is that it is a poor way to scare someone to pay a debt and that why would they call from 313-556-2618 with legal threats rather than formally with a proper letter. Anyone calling like that leaving a message, I just don't trust.
Got the same call, have been getting them since the govt. shut down, but always from a different number. Said they were the information center, would not give me his name or address. I asked for verification of debt and said I could get it if I paid something to them. When I refused to and said I would wait for it to arrive to show to my council, I said good bye and hung up. He called me back from 610-675-0233 and said "you will get your documents when we see you in court, good luck" LOL...
What a bunch of crap heads. really, I have had these since back in what November, no court yet. they are trying to scam me and this once was from Detrioit. Had Carolinas, Ohio, Texas and they all are IP phones. Also I tried to hide my number and it did not work, how is that possible. I knew better than to call them back as now they will just keep calling me, but I had to tell them off, was it right? HECK NO, did it feel good OHHHHHHHHHHHH yeah...
they just called again like they have been for months now. same recorded messege and voice asking for my husband about fraud and what not. and to have him call them back so rights can be forfeited. they call from numerous different numbers leaving same exact messege.
