I got a call from Ed Chavez today at work with a thick Indian accent. Caller ID registered under the 971# I advised him that the person he was asking for was not available, and he begin to say well this person is there and my investigator saw them enter into work today, and put them on the phone now because we are going to lock them up. This is so funny as I type this, but quite ridiculous. I called back Ed Chavez at the number of 347-246-5183 which appears to be a New York number. I told him that he has been in violation of 13 of the 16 Fair Debt Collection Practices if there is such an owed debt, and at this point his calls are considered harassment. I further went to advise him that his call was being recorded (as you’re suppose to announce when they are being recorded) and he said "you don't need to tell me that your calls are being recorded, I don't give a hell." He further went on to say he will have me fired from my job tomorrow. I verbally told him to cease all phone calls to my place of employment and to my cell phone. Waiting to see what tomorrow brings at the 9-5. The thing is to keep your cool. Don't let these scammers get the best of you.
