They called me and left a voice mail. Somebody stating that they were a paralegal (Anthony Debrizio or Fabrezio) with Whitney Ross (?) & Associates. Claimed they were garnishing my wages and I was on notice and that the suit was filed with my county (not identified). Gave file number 60169. What's funny is that another individual from NY called me six months ago from a different company and used that exact same file number. My file must get around LOL. Anyway...it's obviously either a scam or this debt collector is using illegal tactics to try to scare me and whomever else into handing over money. They don't identify as trying to collect a debt (which is illegal IAW with FCRA).
Today is the second time they have called. It was a person stating they were a paralegal from a law firm. They had finished their depositions and were going to submit to my county (not specific) and there would be wage garnishments and asset retention recovery, and gave docket number 50883. Then they throw in "state and federal law requires us to notify you before action is taken". But they called yesterday and said I had 24 hours, and this message said I had until the end of today. I will not be calling them back.
