I received a call from the # 612-861-7270 stating that it was of importance to call the office of Joe Pazutto. I just received this phone # and it is unlisted. Are these debts valid? To what extreme will they go? I looked him up and he is from Arizona. I think I'll wait and see if they call again.
I received a call from this number. They left a message. I called back. The Joe guy answer and asked for my social security number. When I would not give it to him he was very rude and hung up. 2 seconds later the lady Sharon called and would not tell me what it was about. They said they handle many differern't cases. She ended up saying she must have the wrong person.
I have been getting calls form these people for a while. thought I would do some research and came across this site. these people sound like they are scammers trying to fish for social security numbers to really take you down. Never give personal info over the phone. It's nice to know this info so I can relate this matter to further would be victims. Thanks
This is the Law office of Joe Pezzuto. 6636 Cedar Avenue, suite 330, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55423. Fax: 612/861-7323; toll free 866/526 0101 There are two offices: in Minnesota (Kevin Landberg) & Arizona (Joe Pezzuto). the office represents creditors. the people from the office are indeed rude. Advise them in writing that you would take legal actions against, sometimes it makes them more reasonable. thanks
They have been calling both my phone and business numbers without leaving any messages until today. A woman left a message on my electronic message service, which has an out-going message telling people it is for messages only and clearly identifies that it is for messages for me only, and left a message that might have been for a relative. I'm not sure about that because she only left a first name of who she was calling for. And then she did not hang up her phone and I got 3 minutes of dead air before my service cut the call off.
I did a business check and here is what I found; The Law Office of Joe Pezzuto is in Phoenix AZ phone #602-274-9911 and is a debt collection company not an office of lawyers.
They also have an office headed by Kevin Landberg at 6636 Cedar Ave S in Mpls, MN. The 612-861-7270 is one of the numbers that location has.
They are not real lawyers. Pezzuto may have gone to law school but his company is a bad debt collector. They are making what is called 3rd party calls in the attempt to locate someone you might know. If they were calling about you they would have left you a message, but instead they are fishing in the hope that they can speak to you directly and pressure you into giving them information on a 3rd party.
You are not required to provide any information on anyone and under both the Federal and Minnesota DO NOT CALL Laws they are not to make 3rd party calls and if told to remove your name from their records they are required to do so and never call you again.
I would recommend that you call the number they leave after 10 PM in their time zone, so that you will be sure to get their voicemail and not have to argue with their staff, and leave them a message back telling them to either leave you a detailed message of what their business is with you, but only leave your first name and the number they called, and also tell them that if they are calling about a 3rd party to remove your number from their records.
If they continue to call, if you are in Minnesota contact the State Attorney General's Office and file a complaint.
