I received a letter saying I owed on a Credit One credit card, that Midland Credit Mgmt acquired claiming to be a law firm. They said if I didn't respond, would take further action by taking me to court and suing me basically. I thought it was a scam so threw away the letter. My daughter calls me and says they called her and her husband looking for me and that it was imperative I call or again taking to court. I have no idea how they got their number which is very scary, but so unacceptable. So I called the number left and spoke to someone. They claimed it was in process for me to be served and taken to court for this credit card and after all the legal fees would end up owing $3000. Unfortunately I started to believe may owe because I have had a creditone credit card, but was busy at work so didn't stop and think about till after the fact. I asked if I could make payments and she said she would talk to management and get back to me. Basically said they got the cost lowered down to $1800, really? lol just like that, mind you the amount owed initially was $754. Like a dummy I did give her my debit card, I know dumb. But she said she would email me a form had to sign to approve. I did receive it but deleted it. Come to find out, yes I did have this card but back in 2019 and it was paid off. They literally had the last 4 digits of the card, my info. I called Midland by the way and they said no balance with them or in collections. That they showed account paid back in 2019. Wow! This is 100% a scam but boy they get you going as they have all the info. Its criminal.My guess is they have a list maybe they go down of accounts and call and see who would actually believe and pay which is terrible.
Don't fall for it. I almost did.

Type of a scam Debt Collections

Scam. Don’t I’ve them any info. Hang up.

This company is a scam. Received a call today from michael regarding my mom’s credit card debt, for an account she’s never had. Before giving me any info, I had to verify my moms birth month and day, last 4 digits. I should have known better. He claims it’s for a credit card with credit one from 2012. My mom has excellent credit. Why would she have a card with credit one?! I called credit one and they have no record of an account with my moms name. Nothing on her credit report dated back to 2009. Claimed they sent documents and letters many times. We have yet to receive one. They will threaten and intimidate you to pay. Don’t. Don’t even give them a second of your time. It’s wasted energy. I don’t know how they can get away with this. Accounts don’t even exist.

Currently working with my state AG - highly suggest everyone do the same, especially if you gave them any money - and they are working on a subpoena for both Midland and CSC global.

Their address in California is a virtual address. They are not actually IN California. They employed CSC Global in Delaware to file their business license for them in California. This is a common practice in business and CSC is a middle man caught in the scam. This way it's hard for the average person to track them down.

With some help I was able to get the IP addresses off their website. It's registered in NY. That's likely where they are located, though I imagine most of the employees are remote.

You can google your state AG and file complaints online. Also the Federal Trade Commission and the CFPB are two federal regulatory agencies who have the ability to hold these scammers legally accountable. These three agencies may also be able to get you money back. I cannot stress enough how important it is for all people to file complaints, even if they didn't get your money. It's the only way to stop them.

Use of "Debt Collection" for Phishing

Today I received the same type of cal/scam. I received a call originally from United Delivery stating they had papers for me to sign. I asked them what type of papers, they couldn't say. They called back and I let it go to voicemail. A phone number was left to call 844- 970-1806. When I called I was eventually transferred to someone named Shannon Mills. She indicated they called regarding an old debt going to litigation in a civil suit in New Jersey. The information she had was over 20 years old but she had my SS#, birthdate etc. This is unnerving. She gave me dates of 2014 for a purchase and when I asked for more information, she said she couldn't provide more. I told her that the information is not accurate and asked why it isn't on my credit report. She asked how would I have access to that at which I indicated I check my credit report every month. She said she would let the processors know and hung up.
I tried to call back and get more information, but she was abrupt and brief on the phone. When I tried back a third time, receptionist placed me on hold and no one ever came back after 10 minutes.
There was never any call recording disclosure or debt collection recording.

SCAMMERS!

I just got a call from Midland, threatening to "sue" me in the County I reside in for a civil complaint. I spoke with a Samantha, and of course she was nice and understanding when I told her the debt that they are trying to collect is invalid. It's a debt with Best Buy that doesn't exist. I have been harassed regarding this non-existent debt since 2011 and I refuse to continue to have my information sent from collection agency to another. I even had BB send a formal letter to me back in 2019 advising that I had $0.00 balance with them. When I called back to advise that I am pursuing legal counsel, she got nasty. She said that they sent me a Demand letter in September, but of course they didn't. There are hundreds of negative comments made against this company and it seems everyone is in the same boat. Ignore, Block, and send a Cease and Desist so they will stop. I have A Tier credit, another Best Buy credit card and purchased a home recently. If this was a valid debt, it would reflect on my credit report, at the very least. The amount of scammers these days are unbelievable. They should be shut down and all put in jail!

My ex-sister-in-law received a call from
A gentleman looking for me. I called bank and had a case number in which I spoke to a Shannon Mills. She had my SS#, birthdate etc. I found this a little creepy. I told her I was contacting my lawyer to call her, and she was fine with that. I then called back and spoke to a Gentleman telling me I’m going to get a summons in the mail for a car repossessed in 2004, and was being sued for almost $8,000.00. I’m not sure if this is a scam or not. Can someone please help me out with this?

Scam

SCAM! This company contacted an employee my husband worked with over 22 years ago stating he had a file and case number. It was this gentleman’s responsibility to contact my husband. He has no such thing related to him. Block their number if you are contacted by them especially regarding another person.

They are hoping they are going to get a person on the phone and intimidate them into giving personal information. Just hang up and block the number.

I got a phone call regarding a family members "formal complaint" that may be filed against them. The family member and I called the number provided in the voice-mail with the case number, the guy who answered the phone, Michael, seemed nice at first. But he asked for verification of birthday or last 4 of social. When she told him that she would not be verifying any personal information he became very rude and argumentative stating that birthdate was not personal information and public. So she told him that if its public information then he should already have access to the birthday and there is no reason to verify. He stated that he needed to verify the birthday and that he cant divulge information without it. He began over talking her clearly distraught that she was unwilling to comply with his request. She asked him "what are the legal repercussions if i do not resolve this with you today" to which he stated you will probably be given a court date to which she responded okay, go ahead and send the court date. He was clearly upset and said okay send it to ..... and proceeded to list off her home address as if to intimidate her with the fact that he knew her address (which is also public information) . If he was so concerned that she was not the person she said she was why would he be so willing to state her home address?

IF this business is a legitimate debt collector they are extremely unprofessional. If i owed them money i definitely would not be willing to deal with them.

Type of a scam Debt Collections

This fake debt collection company called and harassed me multiple times, called my brother somehow finding his number, called my ex husband, somehow finding his number, and who knows who else they’ve called. When I called them back asking their name and website they got extremely rude and hung up. They tried telling me I owe money on a card that doesn’t even exist. I’ve combed through all of my three credit reports and have zero collections. I am at a 2% credit utilization right now with great credit. This is a scam, and they’re trying to collect money and take money from people that don’t owe anything. They even threatened on the voicemails that they are bringing me to court and taking action immediately if I don’t call to settle my account.
