Hi, you all are going to want to read this!!!
So I decided to call back this number to face whoever it was that was calling, and whatever I had coming to me, to get some peace of mind. The first time they picked up, I got this girl who said I was calling the JOHN HILL LAW OFFICE. I got to asking legitimate questions and she hung up.
A few minutes later, I called back and this time I got a guy. Surprisingly, I was able to get answers from him. He said his name was a D. Stenson, and he even provided me with the address and website link to the firm he said he worked for: JOHN HILL LAW OFFICE. In the end, he said that I was contacted in relation to some case against me by the "credit bureau". To finish things off, I said that I didn't know the person that he was looking for and he told me to disregard the call.
Now what was really interesting is that the information that he gave me about the firm, and even his personal name are in fact all real, but being misused. If you go to this link, www.hill-law-offices.com, you'll be taken to the website of a REAL firm, with the same mailing address that I was given, and even a D. Stenson that works there. However, I called this office through there real number (a 510 area code), and they were already aware of their information being used and assured me that it was not them who contacted me, and that I didn't have anything to worry about. Further, this JOHN HILL LAW OFFICE doesn't do any work for any credit bureau, but rather workers' comp.!!!!
In closing, I'm glad that these scammers gave me fake contact info because through that I was able to get to the truth.
To summarize, there is a real and legitimate law firm in California by the name of JOHN HILL LAW OFFICE, but these calls that we have been getting are not from them. They are from wrong-intentioned people claiming to be them!!!
I wanted to share what I had found to provide some peace of mind to you all.
