A person by the name of Rick Williams calls up claiming to be from SW Recovery Service and leaves a message that we owe a cashnet.com company money for a "payday" loan taken out over the internet in July of 2009. Checked bank records and of course nothing showed. He called back and I told him that their was a similar claim back in December around Christmas time...I played along with his game and then calmly informed him that not only was the military criminal investigation division (CID) notified but also the FBI for fraud. Mr. Williams sounded a bit nervous upon hearing the steps previously taken. He also said that a "Jim Moore" was his supervisor...
Got call from this number - after I asked him several times where he was calling from, he finally told me "Southwest Services". He had the wrong information about our company and when I told him he was wrong - he was fishing for the right information. Did not give him any info.
I asked what line of work they were in and he said recoveries - which I tool to mean they are one of those companies that "help you recover" bad debt from customers who don't pay. I told him we had no need for his services and he answered back with a snotty "I didn't ask you if you needed it - I asked who your CEO was." Needless to say I hung up on him.
