I got this call, same amo but not the same number. This will be my 3rd call states that they have a claim against me. 8552135764 is the other number. This is a scam... Don't call them back.
Two signs this is a scam: one, a real attorney's office will often say (when you call), "The Office of So-and-So, Attorney at Law [or some such]; how may I help you?" Not a flat, "This is a legal office" with no identification of who they are and who they work for. And two, when you [***] them out, a TRUE customer service rep will try to calm you down and deal with you as best they can (and pass you off to a supervisor if they can't), not say, "Shut up!" and hang up on you. (I've been in retail long enough to know that telling someone to shut up will get your @$$ disciplined, if not fired.)
I called back and b*****d them out. (I don't remember where in my diatribe I told them I knew they were scammers, but I know I mentioned it.) Said, "Where the h**l do you get off saying I have a lawsuit against me? I'm friends with an attorney and a magistrate and my mother's dating another attorney!" (All three are true, of course...I'm still in touch with my bankruptcy attorney, one of my former professors is a magistrate with the county and my mother is dating another attorney.) "You're not going to scare me with arrest like you scared the people on the internet!" (I didn't get to finish this next bit, but I'll type it out anyway. "And you know how I know I'm not going to be arrested? I've been interviewed for a state job!" But she told me to shut up and hung up on me.
That b***h is clearly the same one Liss talked to, because she had an accent. (It was a male that left a voicemail on my cell, though.) If they want to dance, let's dance! I'm ready. :>
