got a call today; he called 3 times and then left a message. Thick accent, I could hear it was from a call center with several folks in the background calling. He sad my name and cell # and said I was involved in a legal matter, it's a scam.
I got the same call and called them back and ?'d the legal actions and what court and was advised that the person that left the message was out of the office (sounded like the same person) I requested that they send me Written notice of the debt and not to call...Thanks for the advice
I just recieved a call as well. Seems it was right after you David! Wouldnt doubt its the same guy either. Scared me at first, but good thing I looked up the number before wasting my time, and more importantly my minutes.
They actually called me back and left another message and giving my full ss# on my answering machine. When I worked in collections you were not allowed to leave such info on a machine actually you were very limited on the info you could leave only your name and that it was an important matter and you couldn't even say that you were a collection agency or anything like that..I think I'm going to call them back tomorrow and see what information I can get..Like and address to mail a payment. see what I can get accomplished from that.
I am glad that I researched this number before I do anything. This Indian guy just won't give up calling people on both home phone and cell phone! I already got several calls today, exactly like what everyone is talking about, guy with thick indian accent, telling me about some "very legal actions" against me. But when I started question him, he couldn't really answer any of it (or maybe just because I cannot understand his English). So I asked for his number and googled it. Thank you to for providing all the information regarding filing a complaint. It's scary how he got my number and information, going to report and file this so these evil people won't be able to get away!!
This is the same number the guy who called me used. He left me a very nasty message. However, when I called him back he could not tell me a thing. I knew something was wrong because of the language he was using. I am a collections manager so, I knew right away he was violating the FDCPA laws.
