I have not received calls directly on my phone, but my mother has on her cell and one of our supervisors at work keeps getting these calls. Both numbers 214-504-2986 and 302-241-0396 have appeared on caller ID or been left in a recorded message indicating pending legal action against me. They call themselves Global Acquisitions and when I requested a letter for this alleged debt as required by collection laws they abruptly stopped talking. I then told them to deal with me directly and remove all phone numbers they have-interestingly enough, I never get a call from anyone. Then the call went dead. It's really pissing me off! I have filed a police report in the past with my sheriff's department and the calls stopped but now years later they are coming back again. Guess I'll be making a trip to the sheriff's office again!!
Received a threatening phone call last week (I was not at home-left a message) threatening legal action for some bank fraud debt. ?? Funny thing is they used my maiden name. They left a call back number of 302-241-0396. Caller Id showed caller unknown and withheld their number from me. Has to be ANOTHER scam. So sick of them.
SAME exact thing happened today for two different numbers. The first people got irate when I asked what this was about, so I let them know they would be hearing from an attorney and they hung up on me...so I had a lawyer call, to which they responded with a hang up. These people are liars and scammers. You have rights to full disclosure of any debt, if they are legit tell them to mail you something and you will review it and contact them THEY WILL. Otherwise don't give them a red cent.
On Monday, July 21, 2014, a representative from "Global Acquisitions" called my 92 year old mother and left her a voice message that she needs return the call @ 302-241-0396 regarding a State and Federal Claim filed against her. My Mom called me, in turn, I called the number which rings and rings until an non-identifying automated operator answers, "please hold, and someone will answer your call". Three minutes passed, a person named Daniel White answered (he sounded like he just woke-up & street thug) he said, "I need ta know the name and telephone number of the person you calling about" - I said, what kind of business are you in, he said, "I need the name and number you calling about", I said, I work at a law firm and I'm not giving you any information about my Mother, he said, "I'm glad you work in a law", and I said, me too, thank you, now what type of business are you? He said, "obviously you don't want to get ta the bottom of this", I said, the bottom of what? he said, "good bye" and hung up.
I recommend that everyone contact the Federal Trade Commission and inform the FTC about the call so that the telephone number and these thieves can be investigated, indicted, convicted and sentenced.
