This is an unlawful attempt at a creditor of some kind, to use a foreign telemarketing company to  spam call us and make illegitimate threats of legal action against you. This is completely illegal and they are getting away with it. THey are claiming that the "state department" or a law firm is filing charges against you and for you to call back with an attorney.

Think of it this way - why wouldn't the creditor or party seeking damages against you attempt to contact you directly? Them releasing such critical and confidential information violaties the FACTA and FCRA acts and is in the realm of felony territory.

THIS IS FRAUD - DO NOT ANSWER OR WASTE ANY TIME WITH THEM ON THE PHONE.
CALL THEM BACK FROM ANOTHER PHONE NUMBER AND REPORT THAT YOUR # IS ON THE NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY AND TELL THEM THAT A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED AND FOR THEM TO REMOVE YOUR NUMBER IMMEDIATELY FROM THEIR DATABASE.

Go to the National do not call registry and put all your numbers in there and file a detail report against these people. LEt's get them sued, fined, prosecuted, and put out of busines.

some lady with a thick accent just left me a message
To call her back or have my lawyer call her back.

Ignore her or block their calls. If you must answer, demand full, verifiable proof of their claims be mailed (not e-mail or fax.) to you. She refuses, she's a fraud or is a 3rd party collector using illegal ploys in an attempt to seperate you from your money. Simple as that.
Research the FDCPA. Google it. It explains it all. Bogus collectors hate an educated consumer!
Live Well.

thanks for the reply.

just glad to see that i am not the only one getting these
stupid calls! :/

i have had this happen a few weeks ago with a different
'company'.  i googled the number that called me that time,
found 10+pages of complaints on ripoffreport.com - same scenario.

the said i owe $500.00+ .  never once received a collections letter.  so i knew something
was weird next to the almight thick accent.

I agree totally with you,I'm getting ready to have that number changed.
