got a call today, 2/5/2013 1:11PM from 6125641321
asked for my ssn
I asked for who is calling, I got a first name only
I asked what company, she said 'convergent outsourcing'
that was enough for me to start researching and I hung up.
This number is touted all over Minneapolis as belonging to "reliable locksmith, 730 2nd ave, minneapolis, MN 55402-3400
I went to the address to check: it is a highrise in Minneapolis, no locksmith nowhere in sight, also not on the skyway. Asked a janitor, and a security officer: 'never heard of it', they worked years at that place.
Further googling brought out that this is a fraudulent collection scam, supposedly a reputable company operating since 1950. Many online references for fraud calls and credit report 'hijacking'/'extortion'.
From recent a- to c- on bbb: if this is the company that called: they have created a fake duplicate 'online identity' to hide their number.
If anything violates the fair collection legislation.... working on putting this together to have their Minnesota license revoked. Anyone wants to join? post here.
