That is their same MO they scare you. They threaten you. They call names and get loud. When you ask for a physical location or a debt validation letter you will never get it!!
What has happened is they have purchased your personal private information. The original debtor sold it to them more than likely. They make calls to scam and they such you dry if you give them your checking account number!! So do not!!!! Also they work with Money Pak and Green dot corp. Money pal will claim that they have fine print on the back of their card and they will not identify the crook you paid. They support this activity and cover for them.
You've got to love the loan amnesia Gunnar. These shills forgot one other thing, if they try to ply their trade here they will be dealt with accordingly and a permanent record of the illegitimate ways will be put on display for the whole world to see.
Nice try you liar. Debts are a civil, not a criminal matter. We can only hope you get picked for fraudulent use of telecommunications devices. Hey, when that happens please return to tell us how it "felrt" (sic)
I receieved a call from this number, today. The exact same script above "Hello this is Recovery State solutions. We are handling a claim in our office pertaining to fraud and we need a statement from you. We also need (you) to give you the information on the case. You can reach us at 720-636-8243. Thank you" The call actually originates from phone number 720-636-8244. The lady did NOT say my name, nor did she leave her name.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:
•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
•Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
•Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.
Do not give anyone from this number any information. Per Colorado Attorney General's office they are NOT a licensed collection agency. If you get a call turn it in to Colorado Attorney General's pffice so they can make other victims aware
