Leave a CommentPAY NO ATTENTION TO THESE LOSERS,CALLED ME AS A WRONG NUMBER AND WHEN SHE CALLING HERSELF "LYNN CHEFIELD" RAN OUT OF SCAM COMMENTS SHE GOT MAD,CALLED ME A ******* AND ***GUP. I DOUBT THAT WAS THE "STATE'S ATTORNEY OFFICE" WHICH SHE WAS IDENTIFYING HERSELF AS. CALLED BACK TO GET COMPANY INFO. AND SHE SAID I WAS "HERRASSING HER" AND KEPT ****ING UP.THIS NUMBER IS A SCAM SO IF THEY CALL YOU GIVE IT TO THEM RIGHT BACK....
I got a call about a debt that was settled more than 10 years ago for a car that I was in a roll over accident in. The original call just stated that I need to call back because a grievance had been filed in my county and the cops are coming to get me and I need to get a babysitter...lol So I looked up the number and found all the listed information, so I called back to be transfered to a litagation specialist that informed me that I needed to be aware that the cops would be at my house soon, or I could pay the 3500 or make arrangements to have it paid in a certian amount of time. I informed the gentleman that I looked the number up and was already aware of the scam so nothing was going to happen he then threatened me and used profantiy and ***g up, so I called back to have some fun with them about three times until he put the supervisor on the phone who told me that it was going to court and that the laws of time frame on a debt didn't apply to this debt because it was over 5000 dollars so then I said I was just told that it was for only 3500 so which one is it, and then they ***g up.....lol
This is a group of people currently taking advantage of people across the United States. They go by a variety of names and phone numbers -- some of the names they use include Global****et Investigations, Worldwide Recovery Services, Worldwide****et Investigation Services and North American****et Investigation Bureau (NAAIB). Last year they were operating out of Cleveland, OH, until they were shut down -- the Cleveland BBB named them as one of the top ten scams of 2007 (http://cleveland.bbb.org/WWWRoot/SitePage.asp ... 19642b&art=4334).You can get more info here: http://www.budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/NAAIB.htm.They will probably continue using this MD number until they get shut down a***n, then s**** using a new area code, but the MO is always the same: they call and identify themselves in a way that implies they are either working for a lawyer, the court system, or the police department (all of these misleading statements are illegal); tell you that there has been a civil case filed a***nst you, they give you a case number, and tell you that you must contact them before a warrant is sworn out a***nst you. When you contact them, they tell you that they are investigating a debt that is 10, 12, 15 or so years old; they'll name some bank you've never heard of, or a credit card you've never heard of. They'll have just enough information about you to make you nervous and they'll be phishing to find out more information. They'll tell you that the debt is some ridiculous amount -- let's say $10,200 for an example -- but if you're willing to pay today, they'll reduce it to, for example, $650. But they can't give you an address. Instead, they will ask for your bank account or credit card number. They'll tell you that if you don't settle on the phone with them that moment, a sheriff will appear at your door within 48 hours to arrest you. NONE OF THIS IS TRUE. Complaints have been filed to the AG of OH, MD, TX, NY, and IL, as well as to the FTC, FCC, and the FBI (as they are trying to illegally extort money over the phone). They often target the elderly and infirm. Do not speak with them, and save whatever messages they leave on your phone. If you get a phone call, file a complaint online with the following organizations:http://www.oag.state.md.us/Consumer/complaint.htmhttps://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=enhttp://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htmas well as the Attorney General of your own state. Remember: whether the debt is yours or not, you should not be dealing with these people. They are not a legitimate organization.PLEASE -- file a report. You were smart and savvy enough to do research on this number; not everyone is that lucky. REPORT THEM!!!
they said i needed to pay up front but i know is a scam and if i didn't pay up they were going to sue ****ey said they were in maryland is just a scam
A man called and said I had been named a respondent in a court matter, and I will soon be subpoenaed to court, and I must call back in 24 Hours to avoid further litigation.... I didn't call them back. I'll wait for a subpoena I guess. Does anyone know who these people are?
