The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:
?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.
.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

Got the call from Linda several times per week. She left me voice messages talking about a file and needed to get a statement.
Since I kept ignoring their call, they some how manage to call my grand mothers house in a different state and left message for me about the needed statement. They said they were calling from the Office of Aunts and Husbands. I didn't find that office online. I don't have business in Virginia. Very aggressive callers but the first messages they never gave a company name or any details of a debts.

A message left on our messaging system for my husband's niece to call this number. There was a reference number to refer to for Linda Hearn. We have no business with anybody in Virginia and wonder why a call would be placed to us for someone else.

Caller goes by the name of Zach or Zachary. Keeps calling my number and leaving voicemail (as well as my mother's) looking for my mom in reference to something she "filed." We live in a different state and have no business with VA.
| TatDude806 2014-04-01 18:25:19 Unknown |
Claims to be a "multipurpose" agency called Benson and Huffman or Hoffman? No information could be found on them that I could find. Sounds like another scammy collection agency wannabe...
| Tracy McPherson 2014-03-27 21:40:04 Unknown |

Left message indicating I needed to be made aware of this situation, (what situation?) and I need to provide a statement. Identified herself as Linda Hearn, but did not identify company she was calling from. I have no connections nor business from VA. I live in a different state. NOTE TO ALL: these people tend to crawl out from the woodwork when you obtain new or different credit or update your credit report.****Bottom feeders.
