These people have called me several times over the past few months.They start with something like"There's a lawsuit against your name or social security # for monies owed to this company.Validated with the company that my account was in good standing and this is a scam.They called me 7x today at work asking me for my attorney's name and that there is a major lawsuit against me etc.Claiming to be a debt collector from the Dispute Resolution Center.Also were able to tell me where I live and what my social security # is. On occasion they have even represented themselves as law enforcement officers from the Crime Prevention Division. Please make this stop
May 23, 2010 - My sister started getting these 3 days ago. They're calling her cell, her son, and her work numbers. Same story as the one above. Even if she doesn't answer, they call repeatedly non-stop. I'm reporting them to Clark Howard to see how he can advise her. It seems that they may have gotten her information by hacking into the database of Old Navy, where she worked part time a few years ago. She's putting fraud alerts onto her credit bureau files. They all have generic-American sounding names (Mike, Gary, etc) with heavy foreign accents. So far she's tracked over 20 different phone numbers that they're using within these few days. She nailed them when they said that they had tried to withdraw the amount due from her Wells Fargo checking account in June 2009. Her comeback was that she'd NEVER had a Wells Fargo account. His response, after threats of heavy fines and imprisonment within 24 hours, was that "Only God can help you now." Quite original, don't you think? She also said that she's recording the call, and that didn't phase them. Their whole spiel is intensely abusive... "Do not lie to me... Do not interrupt me... etc." Does anyone have any idea of how to stop them from calling, since not answering doesn't stop their attempts
Fake collectors called from out of country with bad broken English saying they are from the "Law investigation" said we owe $6000 he actually said "U.S. Dollars". Threatened to take my mother and my sister to jail and said the police will be our way very soon unless we take care of the matter. also said that there is a good chance that if we pay now, the police could be already dispatched in route to pick them up. He very calmly said that he would do everything he could to get them released as soon as possible. The number he called from was 052-797-777 , the number he has left on the voice mail was 360-930-3395, even though he called from 052-797-777
They call my cell and work number. I have asked many times for them to stop. They keep treating me with jail, law suits and a lot more. Please make them STOP>
