Here's how the scam works: They call and tell you that they are collecting for an old bill that you owe some company. They will say that the bill is for some huge amount (maybe 6 or 7 thousand dollars), and that they are authorized to accept a payment of a much smaller amount (usually 5 or 6 hundred dollars) if you pay right now. They may ask you to pay by an EFT from your bank account (you give them your account number and bank's routing number), or they may have you take out a new credit card with cost of the "bill" put on it. Either way, they will take your money for a bill that you don't owe, and try to make you feel that they are giving you a great deal! Also, if you give them ANY of your financial information, you're likely to find your accounts drained, and/or your identity stolen. Their job is to CON you. They can't do that if you ignore them. Never, ever reply to these criminals.
I have reported these scammers to the FTC via the National Do Not Call registry several times. It's now time to contact our Senators to insist that they force the FTC to take action. These scammers try to scare people to pay bills that they don't owe. By using the telephone to commit fraud across state lines, they have committed Federal crimes.
Called back to back within seconds. No message was left. Don't know who they are or why they are calling.
Keeps calling for someone who doesn't live here. No message. I guess they think we are lying, so they keep calling back.
Collection agency trying to collect on an already paid EXXON/Mobil account that was paid in January 2005-I think not-it is beyond the statute of limitations anyway. 4 calls in 2 days.
