So I posted an ad on craigslist trying to sell my car, I got a text message the following day from a number that wanted to buy my car I tried calling and this number calls me saying his name is Steve and then proceeded to text me to use paypal to pay me for the car, got an email from possibly paypal saying 21 grand was sent to my paypal account and all I had to do was send 500 dollars for an agent to pick up the car..I knew something was up so I called paypal and they said basically it's a fraud forwarded them all the emails and "Steve" from this number called me back "What happened" I told him I just had gotten off the phone with paypal and they had clarified that all those emails and everything going on is a scam. Then he hung up on me.
So my friend was recieving phone calls for me from this number. So I called they misunderstood my name and the Guy, Robert Garcia, told me I had no business calling this number and hung up on me! This man was very rude! So I called back and got the same Guy finally he understood my name and told me I owed money. Finally got the name of the company. Its name is Halsted financial services! UT they Gave my friend my social security number and bank account numbers!! I don't know how they got it! But they should not be giving out person information! If she didnt know me and was a random person they could have committed identity theft!! I am not happy!!
I just received a call from this number and the girl on the other end asked if they were speaking with me and on the third time I'm like yes this is she...for the THIRD time. She said she was sorry and had to make sure it was the right person she was speaking to. She told me I had a collection account with Chase and I told her that it wasn't mine and I wasn't going to pay it and she said that's fine because they're just going to send a form to my employer. I said go right ahead and hung up.
