I let them steal my money

Not even thinking twice because I didn’t want to be pursued with court hearings. Don’t them serious.

SCAM SCAM SCAM!

They just called me from a line with a terrible connection (even transferred me to a 2nd person wit an equally choppy connection) telling me I owe Verizon for a bill from 1995. They were aggressively attempting to get me to confirm my personal information and obtain payment by threatening me with legal action.
Not only is it not appearing on my Credit Report but Verizon has no record of it. Be careful out there!

A woman called stating she was with a credit card company and my dad owes. She gave us a number and an a case number. We called the number to which a David Gonzalez from National Consumer Group answers. He informed us that my dad has an account opened from 1998-2000 and he has an outstanding balance of over $5,000. He said they sent out a notice of 30 days for him to pay it before closing the account. They said they sent it to a previous 3 addresses. We informed him we received no letter. They said they could send out another but cannot send it by mail. Only email. So I gave my email because my father is elderly and incapable. I looked up National Consumer Group and nothing but scams appeared which led me here. Be careful. Scams on everyone and more so the elderly.

Why you would accuse National Consumer Group of being a scam? Is it because someone else said we were? We do not scam anyone, especially not the elderly. We assist people of all ages with outstanding debts and have many satisfactory reviews from people that were willing to acknowledge the debt they left unpaid and appreciated that we treated them with respect and dignity and gave them generous financial terms to resolve the account so it is satisfied once and for all.
We understand it is not the most welcoming and pleasant phone call to receive that
a debt was left unpaid and is still owed from several years ago and we are calling to collect on it but that does not make us a scam. These accounts are real debts that were opened by the person we are contacting and in the event that it wasn't opened by that person and you have proof that the account was opened fraudulently or if it was previously resolved through a payment plan or bankruptcy. We welcome you to send us that documentation and we will make sure our records are updated and the account will be deleted from our systems and we will send that information to the appropriate parties.
When Mr. Gonzalez spoke to you did you indicate to him this account was opened fraudulently under your father's social security number and you previously filed an identity theft report? Did you indicate you were or had in the past disputed the validity of this account? If you feel that the account we are contacting your father about falls into any of these categories we welcome your phone call to discuss this and we will update our records accordingly but to go on a public forum and call us a scam is inappropriate and irresponsible and we expect to be treated with the same respect and dignity that we give to everyone we are contacting. - National Consumer Group

I was threatened and told I would be subject to court if I did not provide my personal info over a bogus claim. After 15 minutes the woman I was speaking to got pissy and hung up. Absolute SCAM!

I just got a call from them. They said they were trying to deliver a subpoena to me and wanted to make sure someone was available to take the delivery. They would make two attempts to deliver to my home or work. After two failed attempts, the case pending against me would go on in the courts without me. I was then transferred to someone to give me more details about the pending case. She verified my birthday. When she tried to get me to verify my social, I refused to do so. She said she understood my situation but needed to do so because it was sensitive legal information. I still refused and she abruptly ended the call. I pray those less discerning won't get taken advantage of.

Type of a scam Debt Collections

This company called my husband, provided him with a claim number beginning with FC, and stated that they are representing a credit card company who is taking me to court for a credit card that was opened in 1993 and supposedly charged off in 2000. They were asking for double the amount of what was charged off but for a one time fee they would lessen the amount. They could not provide me with the original credit card application or agreement stating that it was "media material" and we would have to subpoena the court to obtain. They sent me via email (which I begrudgingly provided) a "Notification of Assignment of Debt" letter (not as an attachment) with the National Consumer Group logo (without an address). In the letter it had the name of the Credit Card Company and a credit card number. I was advised that I had until Close of Business to pay or set up an agreement for them to not proceed with legal action. They also stated that I had to respond to the email with the last 4 digits of my credit card number in order to close the account.

Company: National Consumer Group

Phone: 877-910-4794

Location: Pacific US

Agent: David Gonzalez, extension 905

Claim number: They provide you with a claim number beginning with the letters FC

Note: They had my husbands name and number, my mailing address, the last 4 digits of my social security number and my date of birth

I called the said Credit Card company and provided them with the credit card number given by this company and they did not have record of the account. I then proceeded to tell them the situation and they stated that the credit card company would have record of account 6 months after being charged off nor would they continue 20 years later to collect original debt to include interest and fees or threat of lawsuit.

I then went to the Better Business Bureau, saw that they were not ScamPulse.com accredited, noticed that per ScamPulse.com they were no longer in business and then searched for scams from this company where I found a recent scam just last month similar to what I described.

I answered a call from this group and they claimed I still owed a debt from a 16 year old bank debt that rolled off my credit report 7 years ago. The guy David Gonzalez said if I didn't pay they would garnish my wages and take my property. I got scared and gave them my credit card number and they asked for my social security number as well.

Did you stop payments or was it one lump some you had to pay?

Type of a scam Phishing

This company gets a hold of your phone number and leaves false messages, ie. "We are trying to reach you. We have a package to deliver to you but can't get a hold of you. This is our 2nd attempt to contact you. Call us back" then provides an 877 number. When you call them, they will not provide any information until you give them your social security number and other personal info. A bunch of crooks!
