888-310-5679

caller is requesting credit card  and banking information and demanding payment from old debt.( teh credit card never existed --never had a credit card from HFBC)
when you call the number back the man answering is very defensive & wants to know where  you got the number - he won't tell you who you're calling he's just concerned about how you got the number.

Got a call from O2 Info Tech LLC from 2 numbers wanting $780.00 from a bank account to fix computer network problems!!!
2 numbers:  888-448-2359 & 888-310-5679

This is a new legal entity &  business since 2019. We do not know the prior business before this.

Responding to a post from 2008? I am pretty sure Lydia has lost interest by now.

So you took the time to look up a known phone number yet didn't bother to identify this "new legal entity & business"? Why?

With a post that vague we now know for sure that you are a scam company operating illegally to steal money from people.  Thanks for confirming that calls from this number should not be answered or trusted.

As 01/01/2020 this number (888) 310-5679 now belongs to (exclusively behind scenes llc)  and our company does not know about any past owners of our new number. We are a honest company and has chosen to clear or slate.
If you have any questions call the toll free number.

Thank you,

rd anderson

The address on the website is a UPS Store.
Twitter account says "Joined September 2018"
Facebook account says "Page created - February 26, 2019"
Youtube account says "Joined Jan 21, 2020"

The California Business Search produced: Results of search for LP/LLC Name keyword "exclusively behind scenes" returned 0 entity records

Couldn't help but notice there is an online store and the local number on the website is also PJWholesales, twitter account says "Joined June 2016"

I can't find anything in any State with a Bizapedia search on either that name or by adding "the" in it.  Bizapedia is a lot more forgiving then the actual state sites.  What did the Whois info say?  Anything worthwhile?

Also note it has an ASN (Advanced Shipment Notification) account with Amazon

So they send stuff to Amazon?  Are they selling on Amazon and then letting Amazon fulfill the orders?  I was going to go to the website but I haven't had time to go to a VPN first.
