My husband got a call from this number the other day and they were asking for me (under an old name) for an account that was almost ten years old. The guy's name was Matt Ward and said that they were going to take me to court and that I needed to get a lawyer. The guy then said he knew we had a car and other assets and said I needed to call back immediately. He also claimed that the statute of limitations was no longer in effect as of 2009 (not true) so I could be sued for an old debt. My husband hung up. The same guy called back the next day threatening to sue again and to have my attorney call back. Very harrassing, deceptive, and threatening practices. (Also called from an 813-644-8778 number)
Matt Ward claiming to be calling from the IRS called my husband asking to speak with me. He claimed; he was calling about "unreported Income" which set off alarms for me because the IRS does not typically call individuals; they send letters regarding taxation issues. My husband took a message and the number he give him was 609-200-0602 however he was calling from a 901-302-9797 according to the caller ID. This guy was calling about a debt from 2001 which I believe has been paid; however it is much too old and I don't have any documentation either way. Matt Ward appears to be representing DRS a debt collection company.
Matt Ward also called me from this number, broken contract with Bally Total Fitness from 5 years ago. Claimed at first that he was the IRS, then told me I could be sued. When I asked him his company and if it was a collection agency he said "our collections agency is upstairs" I hung up, he called me back immediatly and said "hanging up won't make us not sue you" HAH sure
MATHEW WARD, makes a deal for 1,000 on old collection accounts. After reading these posts - he certainly does not seem legit. He wants your bank account & routing number !
