877-448-2696

I received a call from 877-448-2696...well actually, I received a call from a blocked call and said I was getting legal documents served to me and to call that number for more information.  I called and spoke with a Mr. Baker.  He stated that I had a credit card in 2006 from Continental Finance and paid a few payments on and then didn't pay any more...with fees and all the other stuff, he said, I owe almost $2,000.  I asked why they were just now contacting me and he said they had made several attempts to contact me.  He said they could settle for $650.05 but it had to be today.  He needed to know today otherwise he would have to have me served with the legal documentation and I would owe the entire $2000.  I said I had to check my bank account and I would call him back.  I did research and found this site.  I called him back and the amount I owed changed to $561.05 then later on in our conversation it changed to $561.06.  I told him that I would need written proof mailed to me that I owe this and that he and his company are legitimate.  He said he completely understood and proceeded to get my email address.  I asked him if a settlement letter was supposed to be emailed to me and he said that this was just going to explain everything...the real settlement letter will be mailed to me after I agree to pay.  He was very pushy asking if I was going to pay or not, I told him that I had to check him out first before I agreed to give him any of my bank information.  
I am very nervous and don't want to be served a judgment...but my gut tells me that this is a scam, or a very poorly operating credit collector!

First off these people are being investigated by the ks atty general. You need to call and report all of this. After they showed up at a local business looking for me saying they were the cops I called the sherriff.... Who promptly informed me this is a scam going on in the Overland Park area right now. Call the ks atty general and get them all the information. Hopefully they will catch these people.

A similar thing happened in the Atlanta area several years ago. A collector was arrested and thrown in jail for impersonating a police officer.
