Stupid [***] that called me today can [***] herself!! Her direct line is (218)206-8583. This place is a SCAM the bill she said I owed I called the place I owed they gave me there collection dept and the collection still had by bill and they let me know that I own them not some random fake attorney that threaten me that I will be going to court!! SCAM SCAM scam !
Part of my job is answering the phones and I just received a call from this #. Only thing that came up on caller ID was that it was a call from Minneapolis. It was a recording and majority had been cut off because of our voicemail system. All I could gather was if I wanted to do something about whatever they were talking about, I had to call 651-204-0203. I am SO sick and tired of calls like this and calls from solicitors and magazine subscriptions and people acting like they're already speaking with someone here when they are not. I have better things to do with my time!

In any event,
Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a dime until the debt is validated
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.
If they are bothering you, report them:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.) The same goes for endless telephone harassment
Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because, being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking), the only thing they understand.
Call blocker can be of some help. For some reason they are using numbers to make you
think they are in the Midwest somewhere. Don't pick up on call numbers you do not recognize. I'm pretty certain these callers are located in New York. See my entry.
The caller left this message: "This is Sabrina Dixon you must hang up now we have made every effort to reach you to assist you with your matter here I client is now demanding a decision at the end of business Monday, 5 December contacting you for a voluntary resolution will no longer be our primary concern unfortunately the matter will be advance outside of our office if you wish to resolve this matter with us and make a statement on your behalf you may contact us today no later than 7 PM at 651-204-0203 again 651-204-0203…”
No mention of where they are calling from or who the "client" is...I'm planning to block the number.
