Scam call from Lampton & Associates Law Firm
Once calling this number 844-245-6964, I was advised I had a debt from 10 years ago that I was now being sued for by Lampton. The amount of information they have is extreme and I believe this is due to the credit companies being hacked. These large hacked companies need to lock down all effected accounts to prevent these issues.
The scam artists will not give much details and will only ratchet up the threats, tow my vehicle, and garnish my wages. As they sound American this should be an issue the FBI looks into and arrests these people. I hope people do not fall for all these spam calls before something is done by the government to protect everyone.
Of course, I kept calling back until they disable the numbers I had. This proves it is a fake company trying to defraud people.
"Lampton & Associates" Phishing Scam!
I called the number, and some dude answered by saying "Lampton & Associates". I gave him my alleged case # . He then proceeded to explain to me that a debt with Premier AON had been referred to them by third party collections, and that his law firm was taking the debt to court for repayment. He had my name, address, and the last 4 digits of my ss#. Which is very easy to find on the web btw. He explained that once I am served the legal docs, that a legal process would be triggered, but it was possible to settle for a lesser amount. He said the debt owed was $8,500, but if it went to court it would likely result in additional fees totaling $12,000-$14,000. He did sound very convincing, but I had a feeling he was full of crap. I asked his name and what he does there, he said he was one of the attorneys, and his name was Patrick Davis. I looked him up, and found nothing. After the call, I realized this was very likely a phishing scam to confirm some information. I have now locked all of my credit info, and I am monitoring for any activity ran against my details.
Hang up on these scammers!

Type of a scam Phishing
I called the law firm phone number (Lampton & Associates) she provided. I gave them my case # and was transferred to another person. That person ("John") explained to me that a debt with Bank One had been referred to third party collections and that his law firm was taking the debt to court for repayment. He had my and my husband's names and the last 4 digits of our social security #'s. He asked me to confirm mine before we talked further. He explained that once we were served, a legal process would be triggered, but it was possible to settle for a lesser amount. He said the debt owed was $8,900, but if it went to court it would likely result in additional fees totaling $12,000-$15,000. I expressed concern and shared we had no knowledge of this debt. He said it was under my husband's name and it might be best to talk to him first, but likely the collections agency had been trying to reach us by phone. He was very convincing and appeared to have my husband's credit score and answers to my questions. After the call, my husband ran a credit report and did some research on Bank One and this tactic. At that point, we realized we had been caught up in a scam.
We were also recently contacted by a third party who gave us a phone number to call Lampton Associates. They gave us the same spew regarding a debt for a car that we owned 20 years ago, a car that was never financed through the dealer and which we paid cash in full. They had all our personal information and stated it was too late to settle out of court and that we would be sued. There were many red flags that we didn't notice until playing back the conversation to ourselves later.
1. We were informed that contacting a lawyer would not help us and would only increase our costs as we would also need to pay their lawyer fees and court costs. We did in fact seek legal representation, who informed us that the Lampton was not the law office that this particular motor company uses and that the case number was not pulling up as an open case in our county.
2. The car we were informed we were bing sued for was never financed by any dealer and was actually the universal password we were using at the time. Common password question, (make and model of your first car).
3. They informed us that they sent a letter to our home with a settlement figure. Never received a letter, why wouldn't it be certified and tracked?
4. They informed us that usually they do not attempt to collect if they don't feel like they could collect from the person being sued, however they could see that my husband had good credit and was doing good financially.
We alerted our financial institutions and locked our credit with the burials. It's scary to realize how much information they had. They also used some scare tactics like stating they would put a lien on any property or garnish wages if needed.
We will keep an eye out on the lawsuit they said would be mailed. Wondering if you received an paperwork from them after your call.
