That is weird because I got a call from them and when I got served I no longer thought it was a joke and was sitting in court and now I have to pay over $3000.00. The only reason I am writing this is because I took advise from this site and now I am paying.
Warning dont believe everything you read on the internet. I did agree to magazines at one point and I was paying so the fraud is the magazine companies not Jaleco LLC.
Woman calls my house says they are a collection with JALECO, LLC and I owe $300. States they have me on tape ordering magazines. They say they took over another company and they are trying to settle up old debts. I or my wife never ordered anything. Say they have my VISA card on file. I don't have a VISA card. They said they would take me to court. I said try your best and I hung up. They don't know my old address doesn't exist anymore as the house was torn down.
I too received the same telephone call again, saying they have me on tape ordering magazines and that the postmaster verified i have been receiving them. All lies they have gone so far as to threaten me with going to court and owing 1200.00 to these magazine companies they have even taken money out of my checking account that i never autorized and i am fighting to clear up i haveno idea how they got my debit card number or my husbands i guess we will have to close out our account and get new cards. what do we do to stop these crooks.
I have had the same thing done to me, and they told me the same thing. some women told me that they have me on tape recordings saying yes to some magazine company, and that the magazine company is going to take me to court. saying i owe the magazine company 1289.00 but if I sent them 400$ that they could fight the law suit for me and that would be the end of it. good thing they don't know what I know about law. Then I asked if they could take a money order,(not that i was going to pay anyway,)but i asked just so they would get off my phone and I could do more research on the internet. i finally pressed so hard and kept on asking the so called lawyer, that she put on her "accountant" (i highly doubt that) that said she really needed my debit card and that she couldn't take anything else, so i said i could money order it and she said alright (after much debate) becuase she didn't trust me to actually pay! hahahaha. and it was very coincidental that there so called law firm closed one hour after she called. surely coincidence, but after much talking i got her "companies info" and looked it up online. this is what she gave me. Jaleco llc. 7585 W. Arkansas ave. Unit 212, city:lakewood,ST.:colorado,zip:80232 Janel Duncan. she told me if i called after she closed at 3pm my time, to call this # 720-287-3065 so im not going to pay and good thing my husband heard the whole conversation. mwahahahahaha. so if it sounds like a scam and looks like a scam it probably is a scam. block the # , change # do what ever you have to oh and if they have your current adress tell them you moved to canada. or somewhere like that and to take it up with the country. not you.
Just got the same phone call as the others. Sent me a copy of the supposed letter from the magazine people to my email. Told them I would call them back.. Will be a cold day before they hear from me.
NOTE: I spoke with a supposed "ALYSSA" yesterday and PUNKD her very bad....she was willing to take 400.00 from me right away without even asking my name or where I lived!! You talk about desperate for commission. I never subscribed to magazines, yet I worked for an elderly gentleman who has not subscribed to any magazines in over 10 years because he has been diagnosed as legally blind. He as no use for any of that crap...I played them right up until the point when they thought they were going to get a credit card number and then I laid into them letting them know that we knew that they were a fraud, and to go out and get a REAL JOB; stop hurting the elderly. They are pieces of crap, and I hope they get what they deserve.
