Debt Phishing Scam
Complaint
M. Edwards
Country: United States
I received a call from a guy today about a debt that I owed in the past. I was game so I played. I asked him for a copy of the initial contract since his company allegedly bought the debt. By law they have five days to provide me with the paperwork. He tells me he cannot because they bought the debt. So I countered by asking how they could do that without any paperwork. He said they do have paperwork but not the contract. So I said sending me a copy of the paperwork on their end would do just fine. He said he couldn't do that. So I asked how can they prove I owe what I owed (which I don't) when they can't even provide proof. When he said they couldn't I hung up on him. On top of this whole thing, his number rang as an Idaho number (I live in Idaho) but their company is based out of New York. They're getting sneakier and sneakier!
