My grandmother and my fiance both received a call from this number, informing them that "someone has taken legal action" against me, and fishing for my contact information. The person on the phone gave my fiance/grandmother a phone number for me to call along with a "case number". I initially thought that it was a scam but after the second call to my fiance I decided to call this number today. The man answered the phone "Corporate Offices" and I gave them the "case number". He said he'd review the file and get back to me, put me on hold. When he got back on the line he said something about their company received a complaint from a corporate office that will result in legal action. When I asked which company took legal action against me, he said "Ma'am, I'll get to that. Have you ever signed for information at your residence of...." and listed my address. I said no, as I haven't. He then almost chuckled and said "I have your entire social security number here but I'm going to need you to verify the last four numbers". I told him I wasn't comfortable giving him that information as I have no idea which company he represents or what this matter is regarding. He then got very rude and frustrated, stating "I already have the number, I just need you to verify it before I give you any information". All this time he refused to give me even his company name or his first name or the company that filed a complaint against me. He then said "Ma'am, I'm not going to play these games with you, if you're not going to verify any information, you can just go to court". I hung up on him. A google search for the phone number I was given resulted in NO legimitate businesses. Evidently this man had given my fiance a company name of Muller & Associates or something like that, but refused to give me this information in our phone call. A google search of this company results in one hit, a software company. ??? This screams scam to me, especially considering I have no outstanding debts and have never applied for any kind of payday loan. Anyone have a similar experience?!
