Received a call from (347) 735-5148. It's a cell number out of New York City. No message left. For giggles, I called the number back...with a very heavy Middle-Eastern accent...."Financial Law Division, this is Sherry speaking". Financial Law division for who? What company? Who knows! Over the past few months I've gotten multiple phone calls from people just like this. Most often the number that shows up on the caller ID is "8888". Each time I've actually spoken to someone, they have claimed to be advising me of a case being filed against my name and social security number. Sometimes they even ask to speak to my attorney, if I have one. Each time I tell them that I'd be happy to provide them with whatever information they need AFTER they have provided me with written confirmation/documentation that such a claim exists. I've yet to receive anything in the mail or via e-mail confirming any claim has been filed against me. Even better....one of the times (after receiving multiple calls in one day), I decided to tell the person they had the wrong telephone number. The person apologized then asked if I was interested in an auto loan. Really?
