I have been contacted by these people and i knew something was wrong because when they left the message they muffled my name and i don't even think its my name they are saying. They said they are gordon capoli and associates and the phone number is 877-860-8240.
I recieved a phone call from these individual portraying themselves as
Atorneys stating that i owed 1800 dollars for a payday loan taking out back in 2008,They were very rude and stated that i wrote a bad check and that it was considered a theft and fraud,I stated that i have never written a check out for a payday loan,then it went from fraud to a civil matter they said Believe they had me scared
They told me if i gave them my checking account number they can hold off on the paper work to have me arrested something didn't seem right.
They wanted the Money upfront and would make no deals i would not give info it got them frustrated they started telling me things like
we can ruin your life so you need to pay,.
then they put me on the phone with someone else and the women stated that
she can help me out if i pay the full balance with a credit card they called it a transfer and then they would drop the case.
i stated that i wont do that!
the first time they called it stated unknown caller
then someone called back and from a buffalo Ny #
This person called my job and my personal cell phone today. He stated his name was Mr. Shapiro and said that I owed nearly three thousand dollars for checks that I written across the state lines. He threatened to have me arrested and that he would report this in the morning to the county in which I live. He said that I have to make a payment of at least one thousand dollars today. Otherwise in the morning would be too late. He kept repeating my social security # (which was uncomfortable) and he said that he would have me served at work. It went from he had to have it all on a credit card today or by the end of the month. Me knowing that this was not correct asked for information on who the checks were written to and for what amount. He could not answer this information and refused to let me speak with anyone for more information on this. He said that he was with a Law Firm and he was the only one that could help me. I will be reporting this to the Fair Debt Collection Act and BBA. Ridiculous!
Mr. Shapiro called my job and told one of my coworkers that I need to call them soon. He was trying to get my phone number from her telling her that I have a court case that is going to send me to jail. When I called him and repeated the case number he repeated someone elses social security # by accident. Then said her name. He not only told me to shut up when I started questioning at him but he got very defensive I asked for more info about the company. Clearly this man is a fake who knows my info and I dont feel safe that he knows. I havent written any checks since 2007 how can I have had a bad check?
