I was contacted by someone a few months ago about an account that needs my attention. I ignored because I figured they had the wrong person. One day I decided to call them back after an voicemail. I called and a woman answered she said that they are a legal office that recovers money for their clients. She claimed I had a account with a bank called providian national which was bought by chase bank. That I had a credit card back in 2003 and that I breach contract. The thing is that I never had a credit card at that time at all and never any account with that bank. So she told me that I owe a little over 5k for a credit card that had a 1k limit back then. That they tried to contact me many times and mailed letters. That I needed to pay this off or they will put a lien on my stuff. They even contacted people in my family that I haven't lived with since I was a kid. They contacted my cancer sick mom who is almost 80. My sister that I haven't seen or spoken to in 17 years.my current boyfriend. I contacted chase bank,and gave them the 16digit number they included in the letter i just received. Chase could not find any account that matched my name,social,mother's maiden name or my date of birth. These people will contact anyone associated with you or your past. I assume they use people finder. They may call past or present employment. This needs to stop. Hope that this can help someone else being harassed or scam. I will be taking legal action if it continues.

Had a "scam number" (111)111-1111 call me repeatedly leaving voicemails demanding I call this number (866) 311-5152 with a case number as reference. They had some of my name correct and a previous address (fortunately not the current one).

When I returned the call the first time, I was greeted by a kind woman that just stated that the name of their "firm" was "Legal Admin". I gave her my "case number", she looked it up and said, "yes we have your info and need you to sign legal documents regarding your address at *******". To which I responded that I have no affiliation with that address. She kindly stated that she would remove my number from the list and look for further info on the person she was intending to call. She also stated that my name was a common name so she sees the confusion. I do not have a common name and it's mispronounced/misspelled constantly.

Today I was given another call from the same (111)111-1111 number and attempted to answer it. It went straight to voicemail and again I was left with "please call our number with reference #********". I called again and was graced with the presence of awfulness. This man was one of the worst humans I've had the pleasure of speaking with. Here's how the conversation went:

Him- Legal Admin

Me- Hi, can you please tell me the name of the company you are legal admin for?

Him- You called me and you're asking the name of my company?

Me- yes I received a call from your company asking to return your call. This is the second time this week. Just trying to figure out who you are that's all.

Him- then you know I need your case number to proceed.

Me- wait, what's your name so I know how to address you?

Him- lady, no need to be agressive, you're wasting my time. If you feel the need to end this conversation then just hang up now.

Me- I fail to see how I'm being aggressive, but I just want to know what your company actually does before I go spilling personal info to a stranger. You get that, right?

Him- I'm hanging up now.

Me- so you just need my case number?

Him- *condescending laugh* now you wanna give me what I asked for....?

Me- not with that attitude.

Him- *aggressively* don't f*ing call this number again!

Me- noted

Now it upset me at first but I realized that this was a illegitimate company trying to gain access to my personal info.

Beware friends, stay safe.

I received a phone call from this number and they claimed to be debt collectors. They said my wife had opened a secret bank account where she transferred a personal loan that was never paid back. They recited all of my personal info to me but got a few details wrong. Based on how they were acting, very rude and guilt shaming towards me, it was pretty obvious it was scam. I did however double check all my records, and my wife’s, and nothing checked out. After I spoke with them, they called my father and claimed he was helping my wife steal money. It was so outrageous!

This person called someone elses phone and asked for me when i asked about that he said it was in his reference papers he was looking at. He said in order to continue he needed to verify some important info. Birth date and SS#. Very insistent on getting that. He did tell me the last 4 digits and asked me if it was right. He said he was from another company that hired them to work my legal complaint they had against me. I ended the call.

While I was out this person left a message with the above phone number requesting that I call or they will start Legal action against me. I have never heard of this phone number. I am deaf and my wife is currently in a Nursing Home for Rehab. Would someone from the ScamPulse.com please email me at ************@aol.com or call me at *** *** **** and let me know what I should do. I believe this is a scam and refuse to call the number as it might lead me into a trap.

Susan Mullins has been leaving messages indicating that "legal action" requires my response and if I don't call back and speak to a mitigator I forfeit my rights and will receive paperwork at my home or business. I took the call today and "Susan was busy" but someone else could talk to me and when I said "Go ahead, I know this is a scam" they hung up. They have tried to call back. No paperwork has ever been sent to our home. I know we don't owe anyone money.

A old man, sounded Indian, called me without a missed call and went straight to voicemail. They said something about administration and to recall them before they take legal action against me. Last time I checked I didn’t do anything that requires legal action......

They continuously call to collect on a debt that is not real. They threaten arrest and lawsuits and demand payment immediately. They refuse to send proof of the valid debt and they call family members and employers. THE DEBT IS NOT REAL and they will not stop. They have been calling me for years under different names and it is ridiculous. I have added them to the do not call list and told them to stop calling but they don't. It is frustrating and embarrassing. Someone has to stop these people from scamming others, who actually work, out of their money. I am contemplating changing my cell phone number to get it to stop but I don't I should have to go through the inconvenience when I've had the same number for 20 years and I'm not in the wrong.

This is a voicemail message that was on my phone.

For working hours and once again expired after that you will be taken under custody by the local police as there are four serious allegations pressed against your name at this moment we would request you get back to us so that we can discuss about this case before taking legal action.

I received a voicemail today from a woman named *** ***  who said that she was calling with dispatch from the "county" and that they have sealed and certified documentation to deliver to my property address that they have on file. She said for me to get more info that I need to contact them immediately. She left a contact number and a case file number and told me that if I didn't contact my case manager it would be looked on as noncompliance and that further action would be taken with or without my cooperation.

When I called back about an hour ago, a woman answered saying the business was called J.B. and Kramer Group. I asked to be connected to Sophia Garcia and she told me there was no one there by that name.

When I gave her my name she put me on hold and transferred me to the "litigations" department. I then spoke with a woman who told me I was being sued for a Wachovia account I had when I was 19 years old living in Philadelphia that was closed out in 2009. She said they had sent me a Demand letter on January 10. I asked her if it was sent certified and if someone had signed for it and she said no it was sent in the regular mail. I told her I never received such a letter. She told me that since I never received it she might be able to help me. She told me that at the time account closed I owed $761 but now with interest and court fees I was to pay $2800 dollars. She told me that I was to be served by a Marshall in 24 hours, but that she could help me avoid being served if I agreed to one of 3 payment options.

I asked her to resend the initial letter they supposedly sent once again and she told me that she can only send it if I agree to one of the payment options she mentioned. I told her that I had no recollection of the account (I had Wachovia when I was living in 2007, but haven't had them since) and that I would like them to resend the letter she said they had mailed out, she told me there was no point being the police would be knocking on my door tomorrow.

I also told her that I don't believe this account is mine since it hasn't showed up on my credit reports and since I'm currently a Wells Fargo customer (they bought out Wachovia in 2008- if I owed this money to Wachovia which Wells Fargo purchased, why would Wells Fargo allow me to open an account? I've been with them for over six years).

I told her I don't know why they'd be coming after me for an almost 10 year old debt. She proceeded to tell me that I'd be served and would have to go to court and that they would put a block on my bank account, garnish my wages et cetera. I then told her that the statute of limitation was sure to be up. She then continued to speak over me and yell, so I hung up. I checked the statute of limitation on being sued for bank account debt in Pennsylvania (where I had a Wachovia account 9 years ago), California (where this company is said to be based, and Georgia (where I currently live) and their way past the statute of limitation in each state.

I then proceeded to find their website and nothing comes up. I called back and was given the street address by their front desk and all that comes up is a UPS store. I've spent the last hour trying to research whether or not their legit and came across several message boards with people experiencing the same thing in regards to Wachovia and old bank debt.

A man by the name of Anthony Benson said he was a part of a law firm collecting a debt on behalf of a client. When leaving a message the voice was automated when saying my name. This person had old information on me and couldn't give me updated information but the longer we were on the phone I felt like he was retrieving new things about me. The number that I was called from is 1-877-672-6923.

At this point I haven't lost any money, and I pray to Jesus I won't lose anything.

The scammer I believe is attempting to take personal information.
