I received a call from this number. A woman identified herself as Nicole Cochran and said she works with the Criminal Investigation Dept. of Dorothy Thornton and Associates. She was calling on behalf of my sister and basically said if my sister didn't call by the end of the day (7-9-10) she would have a warrant out for her arrest. After making a phone call to someone else for help they said this person is probably just a collection agency and I shouldn't worry about it. Well, you do worry about it when these people are so sure-sounding and give you case numbers, etc.. I'm only posting this as another warning since a different phone number was listed when I Googled DT and Assoc.
just back from doing some work for 9/11 & have this message on my vm - stating that I or my attorney (didn't tell who they were calling for) needs to return this call within 24 hrs or a warrant (again no name) for an arrest would be issued - they are calling regarding check fraud. Left this phone number 404-935-9490 or 404-935-9487 to call - DO NOT CALL - I WORKED COLLECTONS FOR OVER 30 YEARS - A TRUE COLLECTOR WOULD NOT CALL AND MAKE A THREAT AGAINST YOU VIA THE PHONE - THAT IS AGANAST THE LAW! They need to send something in writting the entire time they are attempting to collect the debt - so my advise - just like I am going to do - call your local FBI & give them this info - (I have done this on at least 3 scams) - FBI will suggest to call your local phone carrier to have them remove this number from allowing the call to go through - however Bright House doesn't have this available yet - so just have to NOT answer the call - No FAR to us hard working folks to have these scam folks calling all day & night
These people left a message on my work phone, stating they were filing check fraud charges and that me or my lawyer should call. The first part of the message was cut off so I don't know who was calling. I am really tired of this scam
I received a VM from 786-358-5655 threatening me with a warrent for "check fraud" if I do not respond within 24 hrs, but the hese folks are really tiresome. Called herslef an "investigator" with DTA, which I assume after reading these posts would be Dorothy Thornton Assoc. What a crock
