I got a call from these people. I don't trust them. They said I owed interest from a late filed sales tax...which IS true..but they called a week later after I submitted the late filing on line. The state deducted the amount from my account and normally THE STATE sends you the late fee,interest and penalties..not these people. This woman wanted me to give her my CC number or bank acct. number...I refused, of course. It said PCR on my caller ID. I know the state does have Pioneer collections contracted, but still...I told her to send me something in the mail. What I got really made me suspicious. I received one piece of paper with some amount I owe, tax ID number and my business name. The paper did not have their business name on it, any contact name or phone number nor where to send the payment to....just some calculations with my information on it...very unprofessional looking. I think the state has a data leak somewhere..or maybe my PC. If she calls back again wanting my CC number or bank account I will hang up.
