Just trying to annoy you, as to what they are, just your average collection scammers using the same old lie. Keep posting any info you can when they call, The more we get the easier we can get the fools shut down. I find them more annoying then anything else, they get defensive when you confront them with what they are. They know they are scamming they don't want to get caught. I think putting things like facebook as a warning to friends and family to watch out for may help. But also watch for strange friend request on FB, usually with a photo of young women in bikinis or scantly clothed. this a way scammers use hoping to contact you to mine your Info.
This must be a scam - I owe zero dollars to anyone, yet receive a recorded call stating that I am in trouble with the Federal government. You have no way of speaking to an individual so that you can inform them of their mistake. I truly wonder if any person who even does owe money would be threatened by these amateur collection tactics.
NOTE TO CALLER: "TRY A NEW STRATEGY" , even a real deadbeat would not be called to action with such nonsense.
Go away until you get your records straightened out and you have something concrete to talk about, like contract numbers, lender information, amount owing - date of alleged loan, where to contact,
I feel sorry for the employees who have to go through this crap on a daily basis - working on commission being pimped out on on every call.
It was a recording that said there was a legal filing in process and to call a certain number in order to stop it. What was cleaver was the other day they called and said it was "check systems" reporting someone attempting to access my checking account. So I called, thinking it really was check systems. The man who answered told me that he would check on the report and said yes, that a collector was trying to get his money from my account. Well, it was a closed checking account from years ago so i wasnt worried, still thiniking that it was a real threat. So then the guy said "so you are saying that you don't owe that bill and don't want to try to resolve it?" Ok at that point I thought... why does check systems care if I have a bill or not, and if i want to resolve it? So that was the clue for me and i hung up.
