855-339-0379

Got call today from a goober from NY wanting my to talk to me about a complaint??

SCAM !!!!

Is this from the number 8553390379.
Called me saying I maliciously defrauded a bank. You father who is a lawyer. Looked into it.  And it was a scammer

Received a voice message today from someone stating they were calling for my name and social security number.  Person talked so fast, could barely make out what they were saying.

Same call used husbands name. Said law suit fike against his SS# gave his name as Michael Phillips caller id shows 469-729-6728 but says to call 855-339-0379

Woman by the name of  Mrs. Manning badge ID 372 said that my case was forwarded to her office she stated that she had my address and ssn. She said that she needed a statement of defense from my attorney within the next 24 hours and that she was issuing paperwork to my local court.

Typical SCARE tactic of a debt collector.  Demand WRITTEN proof of the ""problem"" that is MAILED (post office)  to you.  Then wait for the excuses & possibly illegal threats to start (but no paperwork) .  They have 5 days to comply to your request.

threatening phone call

I received the same call today from a Michael and Jose Cruz.  Very rude and threatened me that they will contact my local county about defrauding a bank.  He called from 855339-0379, but i need to call him back to 8444117897 ext 332

got a call from this #,female caller saying she is "MS.JACKSON", claiming to represent someone (wouldn't state exactly whom she represented) who had received payments by check that "must have been an oversight" by my wife as they had been returned as unpayable from a bank in our part of the country. The caller also stated that the 'company'(I use the term loosely) she represented had her "bank account, ssn, and drivers license information attached to this account, and that my wife should call them to verify their information they had on file and to just "settle" the misunderstanding about some payment that this 'company' was trying to take care of.

Whomever MS.Jackson is working for, (no company name was ever stated) is obviously #phishing as wife has had no association with a bank account and has no drivers license, as well as hasn't written a check in at least 10 years, including electronic ones....

These "PHISHER'S" ARE DANGEROUS to folk's being affected by identity theft!
Do not take calls from this number!
Block them!

My caller ID showed them from Maryland.
It also showed a phone number of 301-850-1680, though a reverse search showed this number to not exist, and that anyone using it has "spoofed" this number to fool your caller ID!

(caller id showed 301-850-1680,caller stated she's calling from 1-855-339-0379, witch several websites show as "this 800 number is non-existent!)

BLOCK THESE TWO NUMBERS, AND NEVER ANSWER THEM!

National Do Not Call List, like a lot of the rest of the Federal Govt, rarely works right!

8553390379 called in reference to my sister. said I was an "emergency contact" and it was important that I contact her to have her call them back. very rude and inconsiderate , wouldn't give their name or company. as is noted in other post typical scare tactic. total bull caca.

Keeps on calling my phone and job

Like Carla, The guy said his name was Michael, he was a claims processer, received ano account for my husband from the department of checks and arbitration. He called from 855-339-0379 but said to call 844-411-7897 ext 332.  He left no reference number of it was a legitimate debt.

"department of checks and arbitration."  Seriously, that is the name they made up?  There is no reference number because there is no account, because there is no debt.

This is a common ploy by criminals masquerading as debt collectors who are 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, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this,  all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  One of the tricks they use is to call your work place, friends, or relatives repeatedly in an attempt to shame you into paying.  They also use the “process server” ruse who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number

No.  This is not a legit call or a legit debt.  This is a scam.  Read the posts above and here is a link for you.  Do NOT call these jerks back, they work by lies and love to scare and threaten people.   If they call again, don't answer, block the calls if you can.

I received a message from a Mrs. Manning and requesting for ss#, bank acct. etc. and if I don't comply further action will be taken. Scam

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

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 the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
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. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).
