- Alfalfa replies to Halfpint1031The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:
•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
•Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
•Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

If you don't return the call or if I don't hear from your attorney either the only thing I can do is wish you good luck as situation unfolds on you. Thank you and goodbye."

- NanaLori replies to Halfpint1031| 1 replyHe told me his name is Terry George and is an officer of the IRS. He wanted me or my attorney to return the call and do not try to disregard the call. "The only thing I can do is (cannot understand---sounds like block)". I called back and left a message but will NEVER give him any personal information and ask him to put it in writing.
- PAMHe told me he was IRS officer Terry George this is the second call first was from 716-214-1354 the next was from 716-214-8048. I called the police station in Gowanda NY they have had no complaints about this guy. I did a reverse search to find the location of this call. I was told to call my local PD. MY next call will be to IRS
- Call type: Debt collector
- Terry replies to NanaLoriI received the same message and name as well.
- CorrinaI just received a call from Terry George that I owed the IRS! I have never received any notice from IRS that I owe, and I have been filing taxes for many years! He said a warrant is being sent out for my arrest because I have ignored the calls for 4 days..lol He gave me his badge number #27019, he said to call back at 716-241-8048 x301. He told me once I have the green money pak to call and he give me the address and the name of the office to send it to. Then he said to go get a green money pak from CVS or Wallgreens, 3 for $500, 1 for $400, and 1 for $85 dollars and even said the amount for the sales tax for getting the cards..lol
He told me to call him back in 2 hours but then said maybe in 1 hour, yes? NO!!
Who ever this guy is he made my heart rate speed up and I hope he gets caught! - Viviana| 1 replyPlease stop this person ASAP! He introduces himself as the IRS officer Terry George. Very rude and demanding a large amount of money in the form of the green money packs -just as Corrina stated.
