A week ago i got a phone call from a person claiming they are from the summons department , and they were looking for a person that i didn't know so i called back and told them tthat i don;t know that person. Now Monday i got another phone call same voice and same message , but this time in my name but the number was from minnesota , the first call came from a south carolina number and today i got another call but now its from a californa number same person. How can we stop these calls
Well first off, these are obviously debt collectors in an attempt to scare you and secondly, they are out of line and actually violating sections in the FCA by threating you with legal action. If I were you, lawyer up and get some money out of the scumbags...teach them a lesson. :) Save your VM's and record your calls and give all that to a lawyer so they can be sued...I think it's like a $1000 fine each time they threaten you.
Also just received a call from someone from this same number claiming to be from the summons process department. Essentially telling me that this is the third and "final" warning before they send the matter to court. They were looking for a personal address to deliver the "summons order" to before they contacted my HR dept to make "arrangements" at my work. Funny thing was, they were calling for the wrong person...obviously this is some sort of scam...
This sounds like a classic case of the payday loan affiliates...they give you a wrong name just get out to you and then you give them your right name when they ask to confirm they "have the wrong number"...then BOOM your on their database and they are trying to scare you with paperwork as they claim to be from a summon department...then they go dormant for a year or two just as your forgetting about the whole incident, and out of nowhere they try to scare you again!!!
I recieved the same call for the last two weeks first the woman called with a different persons name and with the case number Qp37750 , i called and told them they had the wrong number. Then Monday Oct.7 they called me in my old name , because i was married before, so i looked up the number and i saw that many other people had gotten calls from this same number. Then today i recieved another phone call but this time from a different number but same voice different file number QP14372 , i was instructed by a sheriff of my county to contact them back and ask them for information .So i did and the man kept asking me to verify my social security # when i asked him who he was , and who was working for he said a law firm, when i asked for the name and address he began to get upset with me and told me i just needed to pay my debt and when i told him that i contacted the sheriff and the FBI , he got mad at me and told me i had no right to contact them. Then i asked him why he contacted me from 3 different phone numbers he got offensive and indicated that he is allowed to have three cell numbers , then i stated that why would a legit business have their workers calling from a cellphone , he got even madder at me and stated that a company can have many numbers from different states so itold him that they would be contacted by the sheriff and FBI and if he would like he can speak to the sheriff right in front of me, he got angry and hung up. So yes i believe this is a scam. I was told if they do mail me a summons to bring the letter in and they would verify if its legit.
