I received an email from an Eric Walls with email address as
[email protected]. C'mon man! If this were a legit collections company, why would they (he) use a free hotmail account? I have also received the same email from them using settlementd1@gmail account. This sends up red flags that these are indeed scams. Second, why do we all have the same collections amount due of $920, or in my case $980? Third, we would all have received collection letters via postal mail, not some free email accounts.
