I'm a recent graduate and received a call from the Jones Group trying to collect a debt for $250 from me, but I have received no written proof of where the charge came from or gotten any mail from them notifying me this debt existed. the woman i spoke to said HIPA rules kept her from telling me more. I also noticed while on their website that the phone number they list ends in -9998, whereas the phone number that i received a call from ends in -9997. Is this potentially a scam?? and if so, what can i do about it?
I have received daily vm from these rude and ignorant people. They insisted I verify information, "to determine if we're speaking to the correct person. Last 4 of your social and address"? I know from experience that is all identity thieves need to become you. My daughter is a business banker and takes all kinds of security measures regarding her finances and she was recently hit on 3 of her credit cards at the same time. I told this guy, "Mr. Mack" to send a letter because I'm not verifying anything. If I'm the person they want and they think they have my address send a letter. And then I blocked their number.
