Multiple times over the past couple of weeks I’ve received a phone call from this number from an “investigator” Bolton purporting to be looking out for my best interests and wanting to “work with me” to resolve a matter of fraud and some debt I owe. She goes on to leave me her number with requests that I call her by a certain time “that day” to keep the matter from going further.
The calls come into my home number, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the early afternoon and her deadlines are always like “4:00 PM” or “5:00 PM”. Like many people who work, I’m not at home from early morning until usually 6 PM or later…I’ve returned her calls in the evening after returning home and ALWAYS get her voice mail. Despite my telling her that I’m not available to take or make personal phone calls at the time of say she calls, the calls continue to come in with the ridiculous time frame for me to respond.
Aside from my mortgage and student loans (all of which are current) I don’t owe anybody anything and I know I’m not involved in any “fraud”. I also know that anytime a debt collector starts using “scary/official sounding” titles and demanding return calls by a certain time of day, you are almost certainly dealing with either 1) a scam artist or 2) an debt collector that cares NOTHING about federal or state laws regarding such matters…in either case, they aren’t people you want to deal with.
My solution was to block their number…if they want to file a civil action against me then they can do so…if not, they can bite my ankle.
