So I just got my first phone call from some guy by the name of J. Price calling on behalf of Mr. Hecker. They left a message and I called back. They answered with "Law Office". Seriously, "Law office"? How professional...
Mr. Price was nice to me for about the first 30 seconds until he asked for my credit card account number and I refused to give it to him. I actually have a credit card with the company he mentioned but the balance he gave me was actually less than what I owe! When I told him that the amount was wrong(didn't tell him what the actual amount was), he implied that I was lying. He then gave me the last four digits of "my" account number, which was incorrect. Told him this and again he implied that I was lying. He then gave the last four digits of what he said was my ss#, which, big surprise here, was incorrect.
He said that the account had been opened in 1996 and had not been paid on for a long time. I informed him that I had paid my credit card just last month and had been paying every month. When I refused to give him any information, he got annoyed and said "We'll see about that!" and hung up!
Oh and by the way, in 1996, I was 13...
I just wanted to thank those of you who have written posts, warning others about this. I actually Googled the number right after they left me a message and found these postings. I was able to call them prepared with the knowledge that they're idiots and scammers!
