This company specializes in getting ahold of anyone they think might have some interest (or not) in the estate of a deceased person,  in an attempt to collect a debt the deceased might have owed.

In my opinion this is just  a legalized debt scam.

Fact is, depending on the state where the deceased died, payment of the deceased's debts is the duty of an executor or administrator.  And that's only if there are enough assets in the estate to pay them.  This  of course, requires an actual probate proceeding.

But this company doesn't care about  legal niceties, they continually try to contact relatives of the deceased in an attempt to somehow (psychologically ) strong-arm the relative to pay the debts of the deceased even though the relative is not liable.

Sad to say, this group is quite successful financially.

They sometimes use deception to make a person think he or she  IS responsible.  Don't fall for it.

Ignore and block any calls received from this group. If you're thinking of paying. even though you are not legally responsible, make sure they send you a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.

If there IS an estate, make sure that all communications are directed to the executor or administrator.
