These idiots think that they can threaten you to pay them money. They will tell you that unless you send them X amount of money right away, they will trash your credit rating and put liens on your property. They don't have the brains to realize that they need to provide documentation in order to collect a debt. They seem to be affiliated with the Nigerian internet scammers. They must make cold calls hoping that people will send them money based on their threats. Report them to your state agency with the name of the caller so that if they ever come to your state they can be arrested and charged with illegal business practices.
I am a California contractor also and have been getting calls from these idiots. Threats to trash my credit and put liens on my property. But they don't seem to have any documentation to back up their claims, just trying to get money by using threats. Let me know how your lawyer does, I'd like to put them in touch with mine. I pay my debts and am tired of the harassment from these guys.
I got a call from these guys today - the caller identifies himself as Travis (unintelligible last name), ask for Diane (the company owner), and says she'll take his call. When asked who he's with, he repeats 'Travis... and she'll take my call, but adds his attorney is there with him. When asked again to identify who he's with, he hangs up.
However the CLI is coming through with a slightly different number: 469 298 1194
This guys calls trying to get our business to collect past due receivables from our clients. We've asked them for months...and months...to take us off their list.
I think they've taken our contact information from the California State License Board website because he always asks for my husband, who happens to be the president of our company. Interesting though, I'm the majority shareholder, but the "little woman" can't seem to talk for her company.
He yells, swears is so rude and I was literally shaking when I hung up the phone. I can't imagine we'd have any clients at all if we used these people. We don't need their services, but still!
