I got a very disturbing phone call by this phone # claiming that I took out a personal loan back in 2013 for $1100. (I've never taken out a personal loan). They asked my to verify my last 4 digits of my SSN and my address (They had the incorrect address which they asked to update their records and I refused.) they asked to verify my last name. (Which changed because I got married) and my email address was partially incorrect. I replied that I would not verify information until they told me who THEY were. Finally they disclosed that they were Johnson & Johnson a firm that assisting with a courtesy call to let me know that criminal charges have been field against me. And that notices were sent to the address they had in file and that they could not mail anything else out to me after 3 attempts. I asked how am o supposed to resolve this if I don't have something in writing? The caller replied that it could be resolved by me paying 50 cents on the dollar for what I supposedly owed. I said I am absolutely not payoff cent for something I NEVER borrowed! The caller them advised that she will close the case and that I need to get a criminal attorney because there will be a warrant for my arrest. And hung up! SHE WAS SO NASTY, RUDE, AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I called my husband so upset. And decided to look up this phone number. I came across these posts. It's most DEFINITELY a scam.
That's a common thing with scam artist now and days they think they can scare people into paying them over the phone. I dont waste my time paying companies over the phone if i owe someone money fine ill work something out with you. But when it comes to paying over the phone no never a good idea at all.
TL DR .. tell them to [***] directly off if they cannot provide you with legitimate info of a debt that you know about and send you written mail notification. Seriously folks, this is a scam. No, seriously. Don't be a schmuck.
C'mon just press 1. Have some fun. i love this sh*t. I had one stupid Biych on the line for 10 minutes giving her all sorts of crap I do and using Scooby Doo character names and references. It made me feel good.
