Just got a call from these people saying I had to pay $800 to settle for funds wrongfully given to me in 2012. What funds? I would have remembered $800 appearing in my account! Anyways Couldn't provide any information, couldn't fax me any information, kept putting me on hold to talk with the "Lawyers". She kept offering me a payment plan and when I told her not until I receive paperwork she put me on hold to transfer me to someone else and eventually the call got disconnected.
So what ended up happening, I received the same call and they left a message to give them a call back. But I receive countless calls a day from scammers that I don't know which are legit or not. From the sound of it, it seems like a scammer to the simple fact that you are getting the run around and they wont provide with valid information. But you would know better than me since you actually spoke to them. I was just curious with what your opinion was, so that I know whether to call them back or not.
The Illinois Attorney General’s office says the bogus debt collectors they’ve heard about use a variety of names, including: Morgan & Associates, Federal Bureau of Investigators, DNR Recovery, DNI Recovery, Legal Accounts Association, Department of Law and Enforcement, CashNet USA, America Legal Services, Quick Cash, and ACS. If you hear from any of those companies, be sure to report them immediately to your state Attorney General’s office and the Federal Trade Commission.
