I got a message from my sister in law saying some was trying to reach me in a urgent matter when I called it was answered Micheal Michael Green Associates the number was 844 717 3760 saying that I had three charges against me is this real how do I find out???
They are at it again. They are harassing my 12 year old daughter. Leaving messages about a bench warrant as we'll. The numbers they are using today are 406-631-1003 and 855-874-7511.
My first clue this was BULL that when I called back the lady (Cynthia in the legal department ) sounded so ghetto and uneducated. She had the nerve to hang up on me when I wanted to give her a "case number" instead of the phone number. I called back and she hung up again. I called a third time and hit 1 one the and someone else answered. She was helpful after I told her I would get my own attorney and sue the hell out of them if these calls did not stop. I have made a complaint with the BBB and sent the company a very NICE email. Next call will be the police.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:
•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.
•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
•Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
•Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.
This just happened to me. Michael Michael Green and associates just contacted my ex-sister in laws father in law. How that happened I don't even know because I don't even know her husbands dad. They gave me a case number and a citation number. I was actually really worried that I did miss something, but then I remembered my wallet being stolen about 7 months ago. thank you to all who have posted on here. You saved me a lot of worrying!!!
Michelle Williams called from Michael Michael Green LLC. 406 551 5520 wanted me to call 1-866-688-1019 left a nasty message with a name I have used in 15 years. Threatened to serve my a bench warrant at my job (which I don't have ) if I don't call them back and resolve the issue. This is the second time they tried this last time they refuse to prove I owed them money and never called back until now
