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.
we recieved a call about a month ago from a phone number 320-227-8082 from a brian deetz now a month later and we get a call from 405-212-4210..same guy same voice..the 320 number is dissconnected. the 405 number says he works for a bureau of checks and fruad for a white company..the call id comes up as a weinberg cockra ..he gave a badge number of 21032 .i checked with my friends at the real bureau of investigations and they dont have anyone with that badge matching the name ..so i reported it to them..
recieved a call from 405-212-4210 at work telling me i am being charged with 2 felonies for check fraud and something else. That i am red flagged.. i was very nice to this man by the name of mike tipton.. i told him i did not have the money and asked if i can make payment arrangements and was told NO. he then transferred me to another man and he told me NO and then they both told me i had 1 hour to come up with the money and to figure it out and hung up on me... i called my local cash place where i had borrowed from a while back, not remembering that it wasnt paid off and they told me they had sold my information to a debt collecter and that this sounded like fraud.... any one else get phone calls today?
I too recieved a call from this company!!! They called me in reference to someone else, leaving me a threating voice mail massage... I then googled the number and here I am.. Thank you guys for your post!!!! What can we do about this company?!!?
Not much besides warning your friends and coworkers and reporting to the Internet Crime Complaint Center http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG, as appropriate.
OMG!! My husband and I just got the SAME EXACT phone call from the same man claiming to be Michael Tipton stating that my husband owed a check cashing place $300 and that if we didn't have it paid in full in 2 hours that he was sending a sheriff to arrest my husband on 2 accounts of fraud! This has to stop!!
