I got a call from Starnet Paete (352) 224 3858 Andrew Johnson Badge # AJ9210 claiming to be a restitution officer of some kind threatening me and telling me if I do not pay them $310.00 for some on-line payday loan I alledgely received that I would be court ordered and that they would sue me and come to my job and arrest me. I almost had a nervous breakdown behind this. I kept trying to explain that I was not me. I never received any kind of money whatsoever. This man was so rude to me and treated me like I was some sort of criminal. I was in tears, ny nine year old son was in tears and all he kept telling me was to shut up and stop crying or he was going to hang up on me. I wanted to me to send a faxed letter to (352) 260 0994 stating that I did not intentionally commit fraud with a copy of my photo identifcation number. He also wanted me to give him my debit card number. I am stressed out. If I was an elderly person I would have died and had some sort of heart attack. These people should not be allowed to treat people like this. Something needs to be done.
This number came up as "Starnet - Paete" but the message purported to be from Vanderburg Chase , a collection agency.... and asked me to verify my name and social security number for a "legal matter". I know I have no outstanding debts in collection so this has to be a scam.
I googled them and it looks like they have used illegal tactics to try and collect on old debts that have been paid off.
I got a call from them less than hour ago. The man was SO RUDE to me!!! The backround from his phone was very noisy so I could barely hear him. He asked if this was Jessica Taylor (or so I thought..so hard to hear) and I said yes. So he gave the first 3 numbers of a SSN that was not mine so I said "No, that's not mine. Can you say again the first name of who your looking for? I think I misunderstood you." So he said "GLINDA Taylor." I said "Oh sorry, that's not me." Then with a big attitude he was like" WELL, WHO IS THIS THEN?!" so I said my name and he's like "I ASKED IF THIS WAS GLINDA AND YOU SAID YES." Then I said "Okay sorry. I didn't hear you too well because your backround is noisy." Then he goes "YOU KNEW I ASKED FOR GLINDA. GLINDA AND JESSICA SOUND NOTHING ALIKE." So I just hung up. What an a**hole. He was practically yelling at my. I heard him say my last name and just figured he had the right number....I mean, how often does someone call looking for someone else?
Received a message from them on my work phone. They use scare tactics to get you to call them back on outstanding debts saying you have a limited amount of time to respond or they will schedule a court date within 24 hours to see "the judge" in las vegas court. Give me a fking break. Even if it's a legit debt, I highly doubt they are that special of a collection agency and have the power to be able to schedule a court date that quick. Besides, I could care less, bring it on, they're not getting jack from me. Oh and by the way, they are associated with Delanore Kemper and Associates, another infamous collection agency that uses the same tactics, they are probably one and the same!
They told me they were a collection company and I am in legal trouble. First of all--I have no debt or anything in collection, secondly I am in law enforcement so I know Im not in trouble and when I told him this--he hung up on me!! This is a scam to get your info or CC numbers--WATCH YOURSELF!!
