This is not a scam. 213-291-0288 is from a debt collector. They are required to verify that the person they are speaking to is the person with the debt they are calling in regards to. If a debt is not paid, legal action including a law suit in a court of law, is a course of action the debt collector can take to collect a debt.
Just received a call from this number. The man said his name was Don Mac and was a private investigator. Said he just ran a background check on me and that I was being named in a complaint. The complaint was being filed in Riverside County and I must call them right away. What a crock!
Yup...got the call today, with my unemployment for 3 years, my delinquencies with trying to meet bills and obligations, this call kinda rattled my nerves and got me worried. Since you all posted these comments and I know, I've been doing my best...I'm not even going to reply or worry about this so called, Scam.
