8477583000

Does anyone know if the number 832-843-0428 belongs to this company as well??

Much Thanks!

I got a call from them. They left a 3min voicemail for me of nothing but creepy music, lol.

Received a call 2 minutes till they close. Returned Mike Rogers call & receive a message their closed. Went to website to email to get information and 8 attempts still not able to send them an email. I bet if I try to send a payment thru their website it will go thru no problem! Received a threatening letter in which I couldn't care less! If you want someone to contact you provide them a resource in which they can. I have no problem paying any bill but I'm not paying for something that has no explanation and just a acct#

This is a common ploy by criminals attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, etc. all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Matt called asking to speak with whoever handles our legal matters, he was calling on behalf of ********* Insurance. I put him on hold, looked up the number on here and promptly hung up the line. Warned my coworkers about the caller in case he tries to randomly select a number from the directory.

You're an idiot

The only thing that is "not legit" is how you handle your business responsibilities.

Might rethink that after replying to a post that's a year and a half old. How likely is it the poster will have any recollection of the comment, or even care?

This company uses ilegal collection practices.  I told them wrong number three times.  They don't care who they call and I searched their ceo and it doesn't sound like it's good to work their either if your a woman.

Do not owe anyone

Claimed to be Liberty Western and mentioned a company assuming I was the responsible party.  I am close to the company and I asked what was the the issue.  Much pressure to take responsibility and that a legal action was pending against us.  I could tell it was a scam but did not have time to play along and figure out where they were gong with it.  Told them they were a scam and hung up.  A few minutes later I get a call from the CEO of the company the scammer had mentioned who is sailing in the Caribbean.  He said they had just called him and said I was suing him and his company.  He knew it was a scam and hung up.

Said I have to pay back money to metlife   that long term paid me once Social Securty pay me

If metlife wanted money back, then they would have sent you a letter in the mail.  Go up 5 posts from yours and read my previos post telling you what you need to know and where to learn more.

Unprofessional colletion reps. Threatened us with lawsuit on a debt we had under bankruptcy. Told them to stop calling and gave my case# and attorney's phone. They called several more times so I blocked them.

Got a phone call from them saying that I owe MetLife back money and they are out to collect it and has another number 18002161315 18002161710

See BigA's post above.  This is a scam for you.  What they hell would MetLife be suing for?  If you don't pay for an insurance product, the policy is cancelled, and that is the end of it.   Unless you claimed you were dead and weren't.  That would get you a letter, but NOT a phone call.

"Unless you claimed you were dead and weren't."  Actually I think at that point you would be receiving a visit from the police.
