Got a call from David at this number also....Just for all you guys I had a little fun with this. I knew this was a scam, so I played along, ( I work for a bank in fraud protection credit cards) I was told iI owed $5562.00. I was told that i needed to pay this today, to avoid charges. When I offered to pay, Mr David said they would drop all charges for only $355.00. I was asked if there was a CVS, Rite Aid, or Walgreens. Then I was to buy a Green Dot, PayPal, Ebay money Pak card, I was instructed to call him back when i got to CVS, the call was to make sure I purchased the right money card. I played along called him back advised him I was having problems with the $355.00, he asked how much I had, I told him $200.00, He told me they would drop everything, but I had 15 min to call back. I waited 20 min, he called me back ( now 4th phone call back)
He wanted to make sure I was at CVS purchasing the card, I advised him I had, at this time he wanted me to read him the card #'s and scratch off the authorization numbers on the back of the card and read it to him.
I then advised him who I worked for and told him I was recording the calls, had all the neccesary information to locate him and advised him he was scamming me. Mr David was very Irrate, began using profanity, called me an idiot and a lot of words I do not want to print here. FYI, This is a SCAM, do not pay attention, they threaten to charge you with felony's, and file lawsuits, and federal charges. It is a violation of the Fair credit collections act, violation of all state regulations for collection activities in my state. They are looking for people who are not savy and trying to scare you into paying. REPORT TO YOUR BANK AND AUTHORITIES! The information they have as confidential is information that is public record and freely available. PROTECT YOURSELVES, DONT LET THEM SCREW WITH YOU!!!
