I got the exact call and message left on my vm on two different dates, one on March 3, 2015 and one today March 16, 2015. The number that appears on my caller ID is a local number from my area, but gives me the same number as yours (850-546-6444) to call back. I tried calling that local # 559-201-1377 and it rings one time then goes straight to a message saying " thank you for calling Legal Mediations Services". Also I called that 850# and its the same message. I wonder if they leave the same "Case #" for everyone that they call. My first three numbers on the case that they left on my vm are '891___' This definitely sounds like a scam call. I've been getting calls like these way too often that it's annoying. So don't fall for it.
Caller has left multiple messages's saying we have a legal matter pending and have 24 hours to respond. They gave us a case number. We have not nalked to anyone.
Received calls initially like all the ones posted, the lady being Thursday, now they have escaladed the message saying they have made a decision in my case for me since they've made numerous attempts to reach me. But, then goes on to still say call before court proceedings to work out a settlement, to have my attorney call or i must pay in full.....Lol....I wish they'd leave me the hell alone since I am not falling for their scam.
The message I got is exactly like the one many others have received. Message to call Thomas Bates with a case number. Number that came up on my caller ID was a local number. I blocked my number and called back. According to the man who answered the call, I owe $300-something to HSBC for an acct opened in 2007, but I can "settle right now" for $215. I told him I didn't have that acct. I also said that I would never pay anything without verification. He claimed I did receive it. When I said I didn't, he replied that I wasn't the postmaster... That's when I hung up.
I contacted HSBC, explained about the call, and asked them to run my ss# to see if there were any accts sent to collections. The rep ran my social and I wasn't even in their system!
I called Legal Mediators back, selected the option for customer service, gave the rep my case number, and told her to notate on the acct that HSBC has NO RECORD of me in their system. She said, "They don't show an acct sent to collections?" I repeated, "THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF ME IN THEIR SYSTEM."
