I'm getting enough of these I'm wondering if they make good "scambait" targets. Any advise on repercussions if they're initiated by the other party and no acknowledgement is made whether they have or have not reached the person they're looking for?
I received a call a few days ago from Gene Ash of MLA Corp. She stated that she was contacting me on a fraud case that I opened with their company. I NEVER did this, I recently was a victim of identity theft, however, I went through all the necessary channels, i.e. bank, police, credit reporting agencies. She continued to inform me that I owe the company $650.00 for their service. Once again, I NEVER opened an account with this company and do not owe any money. She called me from 404-975-4584. As I was on the phone with her I googled the company and found 100's of websites reporting this company as fraud, found the BBB information, this company is not BBB accredited. I informed her of this information and she continued to tell me "If I do not pay her the money right then and there that she would have the police come to my house and arrest me for not paying my debt". I told her if she calls me again I would contact the local police, FBI, Governor, anyone who will listen and have them arrested and sue them for everything. She then hung up on me, I have not received a call from the company since.

Rec'd call from Stuart Wallace at 855-847-8968 stating that they have a claim against me and my social for computer fraud. Stated that I need to call back immediately to work out an arrangement with them in order to "exonerate" myself. He said that once the claim is filed in my local county, I will be picked up and arrested at my place of employment.
This company is using illegal collection practices by making threatening phone calls. They are a scam and it will be a cold day in hell befor I return their call. I've kept the recorded threat and will use it to my advantage.
