Received a call at work from this number. He said his name was Jacob Meyers. (May not be correct spelling.) Claimed to be an attorney from California and that there was a suit against me in my local court system (I live in Chicago, Ill.) This suit had been filed by CitiCorp and was bouncing around from 2006. First I heard of it was March 27, 2009 when this guy called me. He said that if I didn't come up with $5,000 in the next few days, I was subject to arrest, wage garnishment, and who knows what else. He did't get anything from me. I think the whole thing is a scam. I'm talking to an attorney.
Same story as Bob. Jacob Meyer said he is an attorney and that I owed $5000 to Citibank past due from 2004! Very threatening. Again, same as Bob. Threatened with jail, wage garnishment, the whole bit. Yelled at me every time I wanted to ask a question. When we checked our credit report and called Citibank and confirmed that we didn't owe money, Mr. Meyer changed it to Bank of America and said it was from 2006. We called Bank of America and they confirmed that we do not owe this money. When we told Mr. Meyer of our findings he became even more threatening. He told us that he was going to make it his personal mission to make an example out of us. I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, put a security alert on my Social Security number, and filed a report with my local police department. Hopefully the FTC will make an example out of Mr. Meyer!! What a scumbag!
