Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a DIME until the debt is validated.
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply block their calls and ignore them.
If they continue to bother you, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
I was told to call my local police dept and report it, as they have all my info and I called my bank and put a freeze on my account. This is a scam and they are trying to get money off of u. The police are coming out now and I am giving them all the info I have on them. Don't give them any money are report it
Called me today and my folks yesterday. I answered today and gave them a bogus SS#. They acted like that was right and started rambling about something. I started laughing and told them to **** off.
