I received several phone calls claiming I owed money on a past due credit card and needed to call their legal dept. I called them back and was told I was going to be charged with 2 counts of fraud against my social security number in civil court if I didn't pay them $796 past due on a HSBC credit card from 2009.
I asked the name of the company and she told me she was from AAL (I had to ask twice because she said it fast and quiet). Their phone #701-314-1717 Grand Forks, ND came up on my caller ID.
I told the woman to send me something in the mail as I don't think I have any outstanding credit cards from 2009. All my cards with that bank were paid off and closed several years ago.
She told me I would have to pay an extra $1,000 if it went to court. I told her I wasn't paying anything without a letter in the mail. She replied that they had sent me several notices and were not going to send me another. (I never received any notices from either AAL or HSBC) She then told me she was noting that on my account and I would be receiving a summons for court.
I then called HSBC bank and asked them to verify if I had any outstanding accounts that I did not know about as I thought I had paid them all off. They told me NO. I do not have any unknown outstanding accounts with them and they never heard of a company called AAL.
I then Googled AAL and found it listed under another scam alert website, scamcallfighters.com reporting the same type of calls.
