I rec'd a call from this phone number stating they were looking for a relative and they had a claim filed against them. I advised this relative of this but when I looked on my caller id they have called me a total of six times but didn't leave a message. I reversed the 704 number and came upon this website. I advised this relative and they gave me the 866 # and we called both #s 704-323-8978 and 866-545-9413 and they were both disconnected. I advised them to file a complaint with the BBB
Off topic, but you may want to consider running a spyware/malware clean-up program. I've never observed any malware here. Avast! is a great antivirus package and is free. Spybot Search & Destroy is super for cleaning out malware.
I've never had this side poking me for any more information than a nickname and the validation code.
Message on my voicemail indicated a civil suit was to be filed against me and a summons would be issued to both my place of employment and my house, which was clue No. 1 something was wrong because a person only needs to be served once. The sheriff has better things to do than track me down twice, and the recovery dept/attorney has better things to do with money than pay for service to me twice! Indicating they would go to my work AND home sounded like a threat.
The debt they were calling on was over ten years old. Initially, I was willing to pay the debt, but they were RELUCTANT to give me any time to look things up, catch my breath, etc. It had to be NOW!
While on the phone, I googled BCN recovery (nice looking fake company website by the way) and Shepsu, who was supposedly the entity responsible for processing my payment. All I found were warnings....hang up now, scammers, etc. Phone number was 866-545-9413, and my Case No. was RED21722.
As soon as I asked the guy for his mailing address once I was on to him, he got very defensive and said he couldn't give me that information for security purposes, even though their supposed mailing address is posted on their "website." I then knew this was a hoax and advised him to never call me again.
