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.
NO - SHE'S A FRAUD, AND SHE'S NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO BRING ANY CHARGES AGAINST YOU FOR ANY REASON AT ANYTIME.
SHE'S GOT MANY PEOPLE WORRIED, BUT SHE'S THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE WORRIED, BECAUSE SHE'S ATTEMPTING TO "STEAL" FROM YOU, AND YOU NEED TO NOT WORRY ABOUT HER. THE FEDS, AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL DEAL WITH HER, PROPERLY.
DON'T WORRY. USE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY FOR GOOD THINGS. DO NOT HAND IT TO THIS CROOK.
TAKE CARE & GOD BLESS.
MS. NICOLE CALLED ME TOO AND SHE SEEMS LIKE SHE KNOW WHAT SHE IS TALKING BOUT..THIS LADY SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME. I EVEN GAVE HER MY DEBIT CARD INFO TO TAKE MONEY FROM MY ACCT, SHE WASNT RUDE OR ANYTHING BECAUSE I WAS SO SCARED THAT I WAS WILLING TO PAY THE MONEY UP FRONT. SHE TOLD ME THAT I COULDNT HANG UP THE PHONE WITHOUT PAYMENT OR ELSE THERE WOULD BE A WARRANT FOR MY ARREST. HE [***] EVEN READ MY RIGHTS. LOL
" I EVEN GAVE HER MY DEBIT CARD INFO TO TAKE MONEY FROM MY ACCT,"
Call your bank RIGHT NOW. Cancel that card. Ms. Nicole is probably emptying your account right now. If you work fast enough your bank will be able to freeze your account before she empties it.
Read the rest of this thread. Apparently Ms Nicole is a scammer. Don't give her any money until she proves that you really owe it.
