I have gotten calls from them too. I blocked it. I figured it was connected 757-296-0105 or 612-424-5636 and possible a slew of other numbers. They claim to have preliminary documents to take about and want me to call them back before things escalate. They don't mention my name at all.
I am getting the same calls and do not know how to stop them. And it is usually when I am at work that my phone goes off about three or four times. They do not use my name. They just say that they received my file and that I need to contact them immediately to collect a statement from me. At first I got really worried, but when I called around 7 PM my time and the phone just rings and rings. No answering machine. That is when I knew that something was wrong. I know it has to be a scam. They are two callers but have been using about three or four names. I called my wireless provider to block the number.
I have received a call from the 202 number as well. I did get an email from a law firm saying that I may be owed money from a settlement that was reached against Sallie Mae. Apparently they had a class action lawsuit against them. This is the only thing I can think of that it could be related to. OR it's another scam.
Ppl like this got me in trouble with a real lawyer calling to obtain info....smh I thought it was another cam but its real...so bc of 20268805522 calling trying scam...I'm n trouble with something that's real...smh
From what I gather here and other places on the web these 'callers' just 'grab' at random numbers. They're fishing so don't bite. I'd hate to see these people get any scratch from anyone.
Same as all the fore-mentioned complaints: they don't say who they're calling for, what they're calling about or what company they're from. They sound intense, urgent, angry (but professional, like lawyers)
--the implication being that there are some proceedings against you to which you have not responded. I've now received my 3rd call. "Amber Knight" (the name sounds like a stripper's) called twice and a man called once. The latest message states they need "to obtain a recorded statement" re: "a matter that involves you directly." They call from: 540-369-3052 listed in Frdericksburg, Virginia and 202-688-0552 listed in Hyattsville, DC. It's daunting to hear they call for months on end.
Here's some information that may help us all. I haven't tried it yet. But I just obtained this information from my cable company. If your phone is packaged with your cable, you can block these numbers using your TV remote. You can also block these numbers by going onto their website. I also have a landline and right now I'm not sure which number these calls are coming through on. If it's a landline or a cell, call your provider, ask what to do, and post here. Good luck to us all.
