this company called me today and i dont know who it is. does anybody know? when i answered the phone it said if this is not such and such ( the person they were looking for) then hang up immediatlly
This is Franklin Collection Company. They did the same to me telling me they had made numerous attempts to contact us. This is the absolute FIRST call or notification we have ever received. They then wanted us to give a credit card number over the phone to take care of the debt but then stated it may not be satisfied with that. When asked if they could mail us a bill, the guy became irate and acted like we were trying not to pay him. WHAT A JOKE! The bill is less than $50. I'd never give a card number to someone like that. Especially if they are going to start adding what they want to a bill. I'm contacting the company that they say gave this bill to them and will ask them first WHY since they know our address and have not sent us a bill or called us themselves. It sounds like a full blown Scam!
256 417 6176 called me on 12:31 PM MAR 10, 2012 –
CLAIMS TO BE Franklin Collection Services Inc of Tupelo, Mississipi
Supposedly representing AT&T .
Said that I owed $141 that is past due
I checked with AT&T
I paid my AT&T early today 03/10/2012
The bill was not due yet.
I PAID $131.70 to a zero balance.
That amount would have been due on MAR 15, 2012.
It looks as though they were trying to get me to pay some other amount directly to them by claiming to represent AT&T,
and by claiming that I was past due
The amount that they claimed was past due was not even the same as the amount of my next bill, which was not due yet.
