pkh6965 Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I think this is just a scam but the guy sounded pretty professional on the phone. Anyway I got left a message this morning and it says he is trying to get in touch with me about legal documents attached to my social security number and it need to be delivered to my home address tomorrow between 12-4 (of course Im a work then) and that I need to be there to sign for them. Also the other address is my place of employment and that I need to call them back to speak to them about this. The number is an 830 and when you call it back you just get this guys voice mail. Not sure if this is legit or not. I listed again and it says hes from HCL. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoCares1000 Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 First off, you are not about to be served. In this case this is an Indian company who has purchased your debt and it may be out of statute so they are trying to scare you into paying. I would not bother to answer any calls from that number and would inform family and friends that a scammer from India might try to call them with the same story. They will move on to easier targets once they realize that you will not fall for it. Don't bother suing them for FDCPA violations. They are not based in the USA so you will not get to any funds.

pkh6965 Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Thanks I was pretty sure about it since this has happened before and nothing. The guy was American but that doesn't mean anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clydesmom Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 It is still a scam. While many are over seas there are some based here. Feel free to ignore him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actors fake very convincing accents for movie and television parts all the time. Hugh Laurie from House is British. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
