I responded to one of these scams last year... They had called my work and talked to my boss. I really got scared. But then I realized that the law doesn't call and threaten you that they will serve you papers they just come to your house and serve you papers. When I cancelled my debit card after I had paid most of the debt off. Then I investigated the scam.... a different lady called me and said my debit card wouldn't go through.. I said I am soooo sorry I have been scammed. She said oh.... I said yes by you! She said this is not a scam I told you, that you would have to pay the original amount (like 2000) bucks or settle for 800.. and the payments you have made do not count. I told her to kiss my butt and they would to count because I have them on my account...... By law these 'fake lawyers' can't tell your employer anything about any debts. I have had it with these people. I started have my calls forwarded to my lawyer. When they answer and tell them they are my lawyer the scammers hang up. The other day I had a call from an unknown number telling me that she was a process server and had papers when I got very defensive asking what is this in regards to she said she doesn't know she just serves the papers. It has been a week and no papers. then this number called and he calls your references that you have used also. I haven't called them back. But when I do answer and talk to them they will be shaking!
