Call your bank - just in case. You never know what these people will do!! You are correct- demand written notification of the debt MAILED to you (not email, fax or phone calls). They have 5 days to comply.
This is a company Mis-Representing themself as an investagater. They are a COLLECTION AGENCY, and Scammers using illegal tactitcs to try and extort money from you. I have already reported them to the FTC.
His name is "Investagater Thurston Free" what they are doing is illegal...they wont stop calling me at work. They wont goive you their personal information, nor will they notify you of anything by mail.
Called and ask for my teenage daughter asked who he was did not give any info what type people are they going after teenager who DON't have any credit,
Just got this same call at work.. Same Free dude. Telling me that I had two felonies ready to be charged. I told him that I didnt believe him and I hung up. He called me back a few minutes later and said he spoke to my HR person and mentioned her by name. That freaked me out so I listened to what he had to say. It was the same old song and dance that if I sent over money by the end of the day all would be good. I spoke to my HR people and they said they have seen this before and she called the company and told them they were not to call my workplace ever again. We will see if that works.
How do these scums get away with this?!?!?
A lady left a message sayin she is an investigator and I need a lawyer and 'govern myself accordingly'. I called back and a different lady answered n I told her not to call my phone anymore because she sounded exactly like a lady the left message a month ago but used a different name. When I told her that, she got smart with me so I told her she needed to find something better to do with her time other than trying to scam people out of their money. Then she hung up on me. The names that have been used so far are: Jennifer Page, Linda Stevens, and Susan Helen
