First of all its illegal for bill collectors to threaten people. Second, I have received calls from the same number but from a "different" person. When I asked for documents or paperwork from them they said it was not possible. It IS Shapiro and Price and they ARE fake. I googled the man that was calling me and Shapiro and Price and I came up with a California listing but for an attorney, I called and the man explained to me that this debt collection facade has been going on for months and that it was beginning to disrupt his business. Marshall Joe Thomas is a scam artist and Shapiro and Price is a load of crap. They told me the same thing, that I would have a suit against me and that I was going to go to jail; they also said that they mailed out documents to me and left a voice mail saying that I was to report to the appropriate court date. They do not know my address and they cannot just mail out paperwork for something like that, it has to be served to you. I received these calls at least 4 times a day for a month then they stopped, they just now started calling again.
They called me numerous time threatening me saying they gonna have me picked up to jail if I don't give them account info to debit payment .The man sounded very suspicious told me I owe 2,230
He pretended to put me on hold to speak with the attorney and came back to tell me between the two of us he can arrange for me to only pay 800 I told him it's too much and he said could I do 435 +a $7 fee.I didn't know at the time I gave my info but a few minutes later I called my card holder and I cancelled the account.
did you receive any help from Attorney Gen office, or other organization. I received a few calls and I would like to report to but I have no time to waste if it does not work.
