Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them. Tell 'em no scammy debt collector is going to push you around.
You have to get tuff with these people because, being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking). the only thing they understand.
Angry man named Howard Grable called and said there was a pre mediaton and if I did not call back they will carry on to further trial didn't state a name or anything or case I'd number you know why cuz it's bull I wish these people go find real jobs instead of trying to scam others
I just received the same call. Something about a loan over the criminal amount and they are charging with a felony for stolen money??????? WTF!these people need a life
Call from 801-317-1623 recording stating Howard Grable from Pre Trial Mediation and there is a pending case against me. No one legit would call and leave a message like that.
