I got a call this morning from this company stating they would arrest me and charge me with 3 different felonies. The callers name was Monica Harrison. The phone number they called from was 281 407 5593.
I got the same call, stating I was going to be charged with three counts of check fraud and one count of malicious intent. I was freaked out, but then contacted my attorney. She told me that these guys seem to be some sort of scam. The woman who called said she was from Kern and Brownstone attorneys. I looked them up on the internet. No such company. My attorney also did a reverse phone number look up and saw all of the complaints against them. Don't trust these people. Don't just assume that because you have bad debt or credit issues that you must owe the money.
These guys are just lower than low, attacking people and trying to scare them into sending in money. Don't fall for it.
Did these people leave a call-back number?
Did they call from any other numbers?
I ask because several scammer collection agencies use this tactic...usually followed with "UNLESS you pay us $xxx TODAY and we can cancel the warrant" and want a credit card number.
I started getting these calls in June, and I called them back at the original number and spoke with someone a few times, then I called one day and number was disconnected. I called number listed on my bank account next to the payment, that number was disconnected, I googled the place (Fair Credit International) and found a number, but started getting calls from SEVERAL people regarding the same FICTITIOUS bill, then I realized something was wrong. I have a tally of every call and every number and every name that I spoke with, along with my bank statements where I paid, and I'm going to the police!!
The numbers that they have called me from and that I called them at.......888-552-6595, 678-681-9703, 213-375-3961, 404 996 5401, 281 205 8388
