I received a phone call from Globlal Litigation Group on 1/21/13 stating I owe Almo Car Rental $1,422.71 for damages done to the car from a car I allegedly rented in 2009. I did not rent a car from Alamo in 2009, I have no need to rent a car. They asked had I been served a summons, I said no and the phone went quiet. I said hello and the lady said may I place you on hold. She came back a few seconds later, as I began to ask questions she was very rude interupting me by asking for a credit/debit card number. I stated that I will not give my credit/debit information to you and I have no documentation of what I'm or should be paying for. The address they had on file I haven't lived there in over 15 years. I asked could they fax/mail/email me the paper work and I was told that they will track my address by my social and mail me the information then and was told good luck to me in court and the caller hung up.
This phone # is from Winston-Salem, NC. Don't know anyone from there. I do not answer calls from any person or phone number I don't recognize. This person left a voicemail that I was named in a lawsuit, that there was a complaint on me and gave some phony case #. Told me that I needed an attorney and to call this phone number. I had 24 to 48 hours to ... (then the voicemail stopped). The actual message is as follows:
"Sharon Green this is a civil investigations unit. We are contacting you in regards to a complaint being filed against you. First I went to the claimant affidavit number PS-1707. Where you have been named a respondent in a court action and must appear. There is a contact number on file which you must call 3362830327. Please forward this information to your attorney in that the order to show cost contains a restraining order. You or your attorney will have twenty four to fo..."
I just received this same phone call. I have called them it is a scam thru Pay day loan Corporation as in Cash American or Cash Advance. They say I have closed my bank account, which is false and that I didn't pay a loan back, which is false. She told me I would be receiving email information with the legal case number. Courts do not send info thru emails.
I also got this call this morning. I am not calling them back. If someone was sueing you, I believe you have to be served with papers. Not sure what the laws are in NC but it seem bogus to me.
This Global Litigatin or Prelitigatioin or something similar called my mother stating I owed a quicken loan. I've never ever had a need to use a quicken loan. Anyway, I called the # back and the "Amber Scott" went on a rant about being served with papers. I told her I wasn't paying a dime and she must be scaming folks! In the first phone call, she wouldn't tell me anything who about the company, and wouldn't let me speak to a supervisor, no address, nothing. So she ended the call w/ "your going to jail". So I called back, but this time she changed her name to Jennifer Jones and I was like really?? You just told me your name was Amber Scott. So she then asked me "why are you calling back" you've already said you weren't paying so you are going to jail" I told her she was going to jail because this was a scam! It's a scam! Call your family and friends, it's a scam, it's a scam. It is a scam.
I told my mom to have her phone company block that number because it was a scam!
