I knew this sounded crazy the minute I received this call. A "Ms. Lopez" called and left me a message to call Mr. Goldstein at 607-299-0796 regarding a claim against me and my social security number. If you look up this number, there is no company name tied to it online and a slew of comments regarding fraud. More importantly, I went to the Better Business Bureau and there are over 90 complaints filed against this number and ficticious company. NEVER entertain answering the phone for these people and NEVER give out any personal information. Too many innocent people become victims of this scam.
It started on Nov 22 2013 I rec'd a call from a Debra Love from Check Systems stating I owe on a loan of some sort back from 2010. She proceded to tell me about check fraud and that I could go to jail,,,yadda yadda yadda. She bullied me and scared me and somehow I agreed to pay $108 from my debit card to stop any legal actions. They had someone from American Mutual Holdings take the payment. Now when I was speaking with Ms Love- I was doing errands for my job so I was not in my "comfort zone". When taking the payment from me I guess that I agreed to a final payment of $800 something to have taken from my account on Dec 20. Well the payment that I authorized never went through for there was insufficient funds in my account. A Allan Goldstein left a message and they are calling me every day, calling my husband on his work phone ( I have NO idea how they got number)
I called someone from their company on Thursday Dec 26 to ask them to send me proof of the original debt that started it all. The gentleman, "Gibson" was like- "you telling me that you dont want to pay on your debt? Is that what you saying, well since you dont want to pay on your debt- I will have the sheriff of **** county serve you then you are going to jail for check fraud and breech of contract!!!"" I told him again to PLEASE send me via US MAIL the original debt to my mailing address- then I hung up. Now today (Monday Dec 30) and guy by the name of Mark Brady left me a message on my voice mail something about my statement of admission.... and that he would have my paychecks garnished and all that. He wants me to call him or he will be sending all the legal stuff w/in 72 hours and that I would have to sign for them. I have been given the name of like 3 different companies. I have no idea what is going on. I feel like a fool for even giving them the $108 to start off with for now they wont leave me alone.
These people keep calling me too...so annoying! Spouting the same stuff. Ms. Lopez called, then I was directed to a Mr. Marc Anthony [I think they have a thing for celebrities]. I received a call today from Mr. Goldstein threatening me with garnishment, taking my car....etc. I have reported them to the BBB. Waiting for a response.
Received call listed as unknown caller on ID. Said she was a directory caller for Mr. Goldstein. Said that they are tax mediation with some tax system allegations and needed more information of my home address and job information. To please call back at 607-299-0796 and leave my information. There are so much companies that are made of fraud just to steal peoples identity and they dont care. I was advised by attorney that to go direct to your creditor and resolve. And or if you could get more information on this person or persons to file against that company for harrasment and wrongful debt collecting procedures. You could also contact the media they love this kind of stories.
I got this call last month. Called them back and this totally rude jerk was telling me that I owed Wells Fargo $400 for an online loan that they paid in 2010.
1. I have never gotten an online loan.
2. Why would Wells Fargo pay it?
3. My credit report was just run in October nothing on it about owing Wells Fargo anything.
I told them I'd have my attorney call them. They left me alone for about a month. I got another call from them and just ignored it. Seems like one of these creaps gets your # and then they all crawl out of the woodwork like the cockroaches they are.
