Fraudulent "debt collection" shakedowns appear to be part of the Buffalo culture. Buffalo had a lot of fraudulent telemarketing boilerrooms scamming senior citizens until the mid 1990s when the FBI clobbered them. After that they switched to "debt collection" as a safer racket.
I nicely asked him to send any communication to me by mail, which he refused. I told him that was phone harassment, he said (while yelling) I was going to go to jail. I am going to call him every chance I get to see how he likes it. He has not answered my last few calls
I know this is a scam. I have been scammed once before out of about $600 by a collections firm saying I had an online check advance I did not pay from about a year back. I believed them since they had ALL of my info... social security number, bank account info, etc. I have had online check advances before & I think that is how these scammers get our info to harass us.
My attorney friend says you CAN NOT got to jail for debt in the US.
DON"T PAY THESE PEOPLE ANYTHING!!!!!
File complaints with FTC, your state Attorney General, and the New York Attorney General.
Your mom should file complaints as well, since they just racked up twice the violations.
