DON'T FALL FOR IT! Just got a call from "Michelle" today too. I recorded the entire converstation and will be forwarding the recording to my attorney general's fraud dept. Hopefully, she'll be faxing me her "proof" along with the "restitution" she claims I owe. The more info you have on these losers, the better. These people are scam artist. Another name to look out for is: "Amanda Graham", that's the name she left a few months ago (actually sounded like she was reading) on my voice mail. Her enunciation of just basic words made the entire message laughable. They'll refuse to tell you the name of their company. They only want you to wire them money via moneygram by using bogus scare tactics. They'll use the following words: INVESTIGATORS, INSPECTOR, URGENT, OFFICIAL, FRAUD- ONGOING INVESTIGATION. I think you get the picture. These losers are trying to collect on old accounts that have either been paid, written off or the SOL has expired. They'll tell you they won't mail/fax proof of debt. A cease and desist letter is worthless because they won't honor it because they're crooks! They'll violate FDCPA constantly harrasing you on your job or by calling your relatives. They'll say there are "pending charges" in your local County against you. ALL UNTRUE! Please don't ever send these vultures a dime of your hard earned money. Let them know you understand the game of junk debt collectors and you're recording the call. Do not trust the number that's on your caller id because every month, it changes. They're using call spoof by using a fake caller ID number to ensure the call isn't traced and to prevent websites such as this to prevent disclosure by allowing victims to see they're not the only ones being targeted by these ruthless thugs and thugettes. Two Numbers they've used in the last few months are: (717) 889-4668 and (512) 807-7752-- Luckily I have recorded every call and I've saved every message they've left me and I'm currently working with NC Attorney General Roy Cooper's office regarding this particular group.
Received a call from this number claiming he was "Inspector Bishop" and that I was a person of interest in the county I live in (not the same zip code) in an ongoing case. Said that it was important that either I or my attorney call him immediately. What threw me off is at the end of the message he spouted out some jargon about it ibeing required by federal law and the county I live in that I respond to this. It sounded official but didn't add up. I did not call this number back but researched online and found that it is a scam.
I got a call from this number saying his name was Mr. Harry Palowsky and that he was representing the city of Katy. And that it was an attempt to collect a debt and to call him back at 7178898093. I called the # and it kept sending me to vm. Really freaked me out, glad i read this!!
This Mr Harry Palowsky called my job and threatened them. and said he is going to have me arrested at work due to some white collar crime.. He would not state the name of his business or collection agency he was calling from. ITS A BIG SCAM...
A Michelle Middelton called me and said that I owe for a bad check from over a year ago, a internet payday loan that was paid off. I advised her that I need a letter stating what and who I owed, she said I owe Fox Enterprise and I need to send $100.00 today to stop the process, I said I do not owe anything, and asked her again for the information to be mailed to me..she said she already gave me the info and I need to get this taken care of today. I advised her that my lawyer would take care of it, she said she needed my lawyer to contact her within 1 hour or the paperwork will be processed, she said that this was not a debt collection company. She still would not give my any other info, nor would she get any proof mailed to me. She also kept asking me if I hit the okay and send button when I applied for the online loan...I said NO. But I already paid this thing!!
