To report Extortion Scam Operations, file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,CFB,FTC & FCC..
The so-called law firm of O'Connell, Greenman and Assoc. is completely bogus. They called me from Miami for a collection agency in Tacoma about a debt that supposedly was incurred in Pittsburgh. It has no email address, no business address and is not listed with the BBB. They called about an account with Capital One from 2000. I held no credit cards at that time. They threatened me with 2 summons for fraud and intent to commit fraud. They harassed my family and friends. I laugh about it now but I was upset at the time. My advice is: tell them, not so politely, that you know this a scam and that you've reported them to the BBB. I guarantee they'll never bother you again.
Same firm and damn near same amount from 2000-2007 on a $500 credit card an investment firm bought the debt and now wants $3284.24 for late fees and legal fees, same lady called and answered 3 different numbers, has first 5 digits of SSN but would not give her last 4, said they will not notify you in writing of the case but that you have 2 summons for fraud. whats the recourse on them? is this illegal?
I have tried blocking the numbers but they keep calling from more, today they called from 301-500-2020, 804-482-4003 and the 786-924-0413. Same messages. I called back the 301 number first and was "disconnected" when being transferred to someone who could help since they did not have any information, they called back from 804 number which I proceeded to tell them to send everything in writing including the old Cap One info since it was 2000-2007 on a $500 limit card they want $3248.86 back now. They identified themselves as O'Connell Greenman & Assoc. I proceeded to call all three numbers back, out of 5 tries the same three people answered various numbers, I received one person on all three numbers in a row. Each time I asked them to tell me who they were and if they represented O'Connell Greenman on the Cap One scam and the poor guy stuttered so bad once he knew someone called him out he didn't even think to hang up, just kept saying um. The lady was very combative and had me repeat the number to her, after I gave it to her she tried to repeat it back to me wrong, she knew I was on to her. When I called her from another one of the numbers I asked her why I just got her from a VA number but the first time was a FL number, no response, she hung up. When she answered the MD number she politely answered using a different intro and company name, when I said "I got you again from a new number" she hung up, now all three numbers are just hanging up as soon as they answer. Morons, I hope they haven't gotten anyone.
i am so glad you posted this my fiance got a call from the same 301 number and i called them to ask for a website and they said they don't have one which i thought was very odd then when i called back a woamn picked up and didn't greet with a company name as professionals would do she just said "hello" which i thought was even more odd, they told my fiance he owed $900 fro a $300 payday loan he took out in 2008 ( total lie) he told them he didnt know what they were talking about and asked them if this was true how come it didn't appear on my credit report they said payday loans dont appear on credit reports if they are delinquent ( lie number 2) i then got on the phone and proceeded to ask the woman a bunch of questions which made her become very defensive and somewhat snotty then all of a sudden she passes the phone over to a "RAQUEL WATSON" who defended her fake company but kept saying "we are a call center" blah, blah, blah boy oh boy the world we live in today is such a mess, trying to steal money from innocent people disgusting abd what goes around will surely come back around!!!!
