I called our vendor and talked with a credit analyst. She gave me this number so that I could contact the agency who does collections for them. They may be sleezeballs but they are a legitimate collection agency.
Leaves voice mail claiming that "you have past-due central freight invoices", and to call "Miss Walker" at 732-679-0042, x373. Calling that number gives you some kind of collection agency. Dialing x373 announces that it is for someone other than 'miss walker', but when the voice mail greeting picks up, it announces it is for "bill taylor". It appears on the surface to be some kind of calling pool, possibly a scam.
We received a call yesterday left msg on voice mail but could not make out the number to return a call to. Did catch the DHL portion of this. Since we use DHL I tried to find out thru DHL but they could not tell me anything. Today we get another phone call leaving msg on voice mail telling me that this is the second time they have called and that I need to call them back. Same name "Miss Cressler"... I called back and left msg but then decided to look the number up on Google. They are calling our main number and not our corporate number. If it were legitimate then they would have the correct number to call to get to us....
Got a semi-comprehensible voice message from someone named Steve Lehr )Lehrer) at extension 278: Something about DHL and a brokerage company I was with 4 or 5 years ago.
Definitely sounds like collection intimidation/scam
The caller claims to be with Amalgamated Financial - and the reply number is ansered by the same firm
