Today (5/23/11) I received a call from (209)4980508 initially no one responded upon me answering. Shortyly after they called back and I sent them to vm. Some man with a heavy Indian accent named "Steve Smith" leaves a message telling me I or my attorney need to contact him immediately becaus the matter at hand is urgent and if I don't call back then they would see me in court. The message itself was sketchy because there was not reference number or other information not to mention I just got this new phone # less than 2 weeks ago.
I called back and an Indian woman answered with a simple Hello and no business name or greeting I told her someone called me and she told me to hold and transferred me to another woman who identified herself as Attorney Angela. She said I took out a cash advance of $300 and her client wanted to sue me and the amount due is $498.42. I asked her what company she was from and she immediately got an attitude and said she already stated she was calling from CABR...Customer Affairs and Business Regulations and I need to call back in 30 min. I told her I will not call back and she needs to talk to me now. She proceeds to tell me she need to contact her client and she will call me back. They called back within about and hour from the sam # with the same Indian man and he put me on hold.
Long story short I began to pretend as if I wanted to make payment. She told me she wanted me to send a letter with my credit card information authorizing 2 payments of $249.21 along with a copy of my licence. I told her I would. I called back and asked her if I could scan it and email it to her and she was all too happy to give me and email address of . When I asked her more questions about the original debt she hung up on me. I kept calling back I told her I wanted to make sure I was sending my sensitive information to the proper person. She hung up again and I called back and finally she tell me she has my name, DOB, SSN and bank number which she read to me and said she just told me all I need to know and then she asked if I understood English, I told her she wasnt speaking English because she was from India and she hung up again. After hours of compiling information from her, my final call bck I told her I was ready to pay which I wasnt going to and she told me her client doesnt want payment anymore and she will see me in court.
I laughed and called back and the line was busy which after constantly calling back the number went to vm. I suggest anyone who has been contacted by these people to be careful. You cant be sued these made up criminal charges which she claimed I had 3 against me. Legal matters of any sort normally involves lawyers and marshals serving you papers. Also ask questions like what was the original debt and where and when the $ was deposited That will surely get them off your phone.
