I spoke with them a couple months ago, thinking it was in regards to some old medical bills.. what I found out, was that I apparently owe a Sprint bill from over 12 years ago! I told them they were nuts, and I had no way to confirm if I did or didn't owe a bill that old.. I've moved several times out of state and back in that time frame..I was told I could call sprint and ask about discharged accounts.. well, if it's been discharged, then paying wouldnt help my credit report and basically it was explained to me that they purchased the list of bad debts and use whatever scare tactics they can think of to collect money.. I told them that if I could even be convinced I owed a 12 yr old bill.. and for some reason felt the need to pay it.. I would only pay it to Sprint.. since that's who I owe it to.. so they probably shouldn't waste their time with me.. I thought I got thru to them.. but they called back again today.. immediately saying that they will not discuss anything until I confirm my birthday.. which they have correct and creeps me out.. my advice is just to hang up..
Some lady from this number calling my parents home looking for me. I'm 28 Years old and haven't lived there for 10 years! Harassing my mother looking for me saying they are a Law Firm. I am seeing they are a "debt collector". I'm a real estate investor with 3 homes currently (with open morgages). I don't have debt (if I did, I couldn't buy 3 homes, now could I?) This is a scam, and if they call me or my family again I will absolutely be opening a harassment case. Don't bother picking up for these crooks, so obviously a scam.
