This number belongs to an underground collection agency. They will not provide you with any of their information such as mailing address or location. They are trying to get people to use their banking account or debit cards to pay on old account pertaining to a payday loan etc. They will call your friends, family and employer which is against the Law. They will say you gave them permission (which is not true) to do so and will refuse to remove the number. They will leave illegal messages with employers saying you own them money to get your attention. Don't be harassed by these people using strong -arm tactics. if you speak to them ask them to send you the bill in the mail and they will hang up on you. They also will use additional numbers such as 919-230-8134 and 205-379-8756. They use fake names and will not give you any information on them so do not give them your checking account # or debit card # if you do they can take whatever they want out of your account and you will have no way of contacting them. Scammers using an old data base to collect. They don't know if anything has already been paid to the previous company; and they will only request you contact them by fax. They will not mail you anything so you know they are not legit.
A woman by the name of "Michell" tried to get in contact with me. She stated that they had been trying to reach me (which is an untruth) and that the police were going to arrest me on my job. She also stated that this call was in reference to a 2012 unpaid bill (which was paid and i have a letter to prove it). This is the second time within a month some unknown stranger has contacted me about the same bill from 2012. I talked with the police and they told me of a scam that is going around. If you see this number 919-364-0745 or 1-541-371-2972 WATCH OUT! They are scams and they want your bank account information. Also inform your family members of the same information especially the elderly in your family. They almost ripped off my mother. Theses people will even try to get you to contact other family members and friends to help you out. They are not legitimate!
I got the same call from a girl name "Michelle" last week and again today. She state that my husband is going to be charged with bank fraud. Said they were filing 4 charges against him for an unpaid payday loan advance back on May 12, 2012 in the amount of 1200.00 that was deposited in my checking account. I know it is BS because that is my birthday and I would know if that much money was deposited. I even went as far as calling the local Sheriffs department to come out and take a report. The three numbers they called from last week was 252-297-1685 and 1-704-461-3379. Today they called from the 919-364-0745.
Watch out Amy. They are also using the number 919-230-8134. This time they are stating they are from Telcove Operations of NC. Which is actually a business consulting firm NOT a debt collector. She is still claiming her name is Michelle Brown and she still contacts family and friends. My police dept. stated that if someone do come to your job pretending to be the police, call 911 IMMEDIATELY.
