harrasment
Complaint
Teresita B. Nadura
Country: Philippines
I have been receiving calls asking me to pay the delinquent account of James Lazatin Gozun, i was told i am a guarantor or co-maker of his credit card. how can i be a guarantor or co-maker when i don't remember signing any contract or application form for his credit card? The caller uses harsh words as if I was the one who made the purchases threatening me to be served warrant of arrest, how can i have a warrant of arrest when not even a demand letter was sent to me with regards to this matter?

The strongest indicator of fraud in a debt collection call is making threats, particularly "criminal" while refusing to provide any documentation to substantiate the alleged "claim". It's an indicator that the caller actually knows they're lying and making up BS, compared to a real claim where they would have documentation and would have every reason to provide it to collect what they claim they are owed. Only reason NOT to provide documentation is that they know it would prove you DON'T owe them..
In this case, where's the copy of the credit card application showing the alleged "cosigner" signature? Won't send it? Just make more threats of "criminal prosecution"? Claim they can't send it, due to "debtor's privacy rights"??? If you signed it, you have a right to see it, just like you would demand in court. They're "blowing smoke". Bunch of liars.
I have also received a call from Atty Romualdo Reyes stating that they will be here at my workplace to serve the warrant of arrest.
I called up the number they gave me (579-4964). He pretended to be members of the NCRPO, alleging among others that he is a certain SPO4 Ancheta. Earlier, he made a call in our place. He cited Art 315 (estafa) and
318 (other deceits) of the Revised Penal Code.
Sa loob loob ko lang, wow, ang taas ng posisyon pero taga harass lang sa telepono. Unfortunately, there's no way I could dig deep kung sino ba talaga sila. Ni-lecturan ko lang sila na walang maniniwala na may warrant sila....ni hindi nila alam ang content.
Just the same, don't let your Blood Pressure get the better of you.
i suggest that you pretend to pay them...get their address....and when you get to identify them, we'll let the gates of hell swallow them. I mean, let's report them to the authorities.
Thanks
Its a good thing I know a Investigator from Napolcom and I called her up to check the name of SPO1 FORTUNA there is no SPO1 FORTUNA. Checking the list of lawyers there is two names of Atty Romualdo Reyes
REYES, ROMUALDO D.; Manila; March 29, 1947; Roll No. 331.
REYES, ROMUALDO RAUL R.; Lipa City; April 27, 1985; Roll No. 33603
I already have sent a complaint to Maybank and BSP because Maybank was the bank that he mentioned.
I will try to trace these people. Im getting a Certification from Camp Crame that there is no SPO1 Fortuna.
Anybody who want to join me to put these scammers in jail.
