The caller ID said the Call was from Bronx, NY I asked who it was they said hold on and someone else came on the line with the name Sara Michaels. I asked where she was calling from and she said Jacksonville, FL. I said what was the call about and she said a personal cash advance from 2008. She was calling a day before because a court summons was coming on Friday. Today is Wednesday. She then asked what did I want to do, pay a time settlement, or 3 monthy payments or go to court. I said when was this and what personal cash advance, they had my social # and email account and I asked for things in writing and she said well I guess that means you going to go to court I said whatever and hung up the phone. Then I googled the name and number and found out all this so SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVERYONE- These people are fraudulent scammers. DO NOT give them ANY information. ALWAYS tell them that you want WRITTEN proof of the debt they CLAIM you owe (p.s. you do not owe these scammers anything). They will refuse to give you anything in writing USPS mail that is. Why you ask? Simply because IF they send you via mail a FAKE debt validation letter, that becomes a FEDERAL OFFENSE because they are now using the postal service as a means to extort money. Tell them you are recording the phone call, they will HANG UP on you- does that sound legitimate???? Oh, also, process servers DO NOT call you before hand to tell you that you are being served!!! A process server gets PAID ONCE THEY SERVE you court documents. Why would they warn you that you are going to be served... that just would give you ADVANCED NOTICE to NOT BE HOME OR AT WORK. A court case CANNOT move forward in civil court if you are not properly served... THEY DO NOT CALL AHEAD to tell you they are on their way!
Do what I do, I have the feature with my phone provider to forward certain callers to certain numbers. When I get one of these calls, I have that number now forwarded to the my attorney general's office!
These guys are commiting fraud, they call from many numbers asking for someone. Then when you tell them no one lives here by that name, they will call from another number asking for someone else. Unless you call them and then they get your info off of caller Id and then call and ask for you. And try to say there gonna send papers out to your house, saying from what I've read on other numbers of there's also saying that you will go to jail if you don't pay for a fine. Which is not legit. I told these guys many times to stop calling my phone cuz there is no one living at this number they keep asking for. But they never give up. They just change the name the next time they call.
DO NOT EVER CALL ANY NUMBER BACK That you do not recognize. They will get your name and then try and scam you. These guys need caught for the fraudulent stuff they are pulling. Last time they called me which was the same person. I knew it was them, so I answered it and as soon as the person started speaking I let them have it. And told them to quit calling and said I will report them to the authorities for them pulling fraud. And the lady denied it and I said, no yes you are. By picking people out of random saying they better pay a fine or they will get locked up. By me telling them over and over every time that no matter how many times they call and ask for other people I know they are commiting fraud. She still argued and I say quit f-ing callin my phone. So the next day they called from another number from another state I answered and said I told you to quit calling and I'm letting you know that I am recording this call, and she argued say I didn't give you persmission, I said your calling my phone committing fraud I have the right to record a call incoming to my phone. She still argued and I again said quit f- ing calling my phone. These scumbags needs to be behind bars, and there getting by with fraud as we comment on them. They already have scammed a few people falling for there lies.
They must be using these prank calling apps that lets people put in any number to make there own number disguisable, the first thing we need to do is file a police report against the prank calling apps to get them banned. Cuz next these scumbags will be using our numbers for there fraudulent scams and make us look like the scammers. I'm sure that's what they are doing now. My friend has Pranked me from one of these apps or services that will let them change there number to what they want it to look like on your caller I'd. That's why these guys ain't caught yet, so let's get these apps and services changed.
