I just got the same call and they said I have a complaint against me. :-) Said to call back with a coded number they gave me. So I called back and used *67 to block my number and it was a recording but said it would connect at the next available representative but it hung up on me. So by that I am sure it is all a scam! Be careful.
Total scam. Debt collectors do not file charges. Charges are filed by public prosecutors after an investigation by duly constituted law enforcement authorities. This is an attempt to scar you. Fraud is a crime. Debt collectors have nothing to do with prosecutions for fraud. Ignore these people and block their calls.
Read the other notes. This is a total scam operation. She is not sending anything to anyone. Certainly nothing to an attorney firm. The will send nothing because they do not want to be found out. They are just trying to scare some money out of you. Do not return the calls. Do not pay them anything. Ignore and block the calls. They will not properly ID themselves and they change numbers and caller IDs all the time.
Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a DIME until the debt is validated.
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply block their calls and ignore them.
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. You might have to yell at the scammer and talk over him or her. 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. If you can find them.
Husband called me in a panic saying these people called him from this number saying there had been fraudulent charges and if they weren't taken care of they would issue a court subpoena and have us arrested. After questioning several times what this was about the caller hung up on him. I had heard of this sort of thing before, and told him it was a scam. JERKS!
