They are telling us: “Consumers: Beware of fake debt collectors” Don’t give in to harassing calls from fake debt collectors who try to pressure you into paying money that you don’t owe, the Better Business Bureau said. Scammers are being more deceptive than ever, and this perennial scam is back in the news with a recent Federal Trade Commission settlement. How the scam works: You’ve never been late on a loan or credit card payment, but you start receiving calls from debt collectors. The frequency increases, and you even get a voice-mail message that resembles this: “This is the Civil Investigations Unit. We are contacting you in regards to a complaint being filed against you, pursuant to claim and affidavit number D00D-2932, where you have been named a respondent in a court action and must appear … You or your attorney will have 24 to 48 hours to oppose this matter … Call 757-301-4745.” Continues...visit: familypals.us/network/?p=317
