Same old scammers.  Websites like these really cut into the scamming money, but, these losers will keep trying.   It's like they learn one word, and use it for everything.  They'll go far enough to get one official thing, then try to apply it to scamming.    A 1099-C is if a secured debt is forgiven (usually for property)  not for a supposedly unpaid payday loan. Should one be interested, here's a link to the IRS.gov website, and a publication about 1099-C:   http://www.irs.gov/publications/p4681/ix01.html

Gotta love Magic Jack.

Well, even if you did have this debt, it's way past the status of limitations.  Another bottom feeding "collection agency".    http://www.creditinfocenter.com/rebuild/statuteLimitations.shtml

this is their website: http://www.consumerrecovery.com/

if you read the FAQ then you can see what a total scam they are! they actually say that you have to report your debt as income???? seriously? from their own FAQ:
Can CRA turn me over to the IRS?

We do not turn people over to the IRS, but debts that are deemed uncollectable are subject to issuance of a 1099-C.

What is a 1099-C?

A 1099-C form is a form you must turn into the Internal Revenue Service showing cancellation of debt. If you do not repay your debt, you must report it as income to the IRS.

this is the second time this year i have gotten a call with the same scam but different people(i think). i hope nobody is sending these jerks any money

got a call from them on my business line. when i told them to stop calling they threatened me says their a federal company and were recording my conversation and they had the right to call. I told them not to call my number again that the person they were looking for did not nor ever had worked here and he said now I had his attention and he would investigate me. Very Rude!

This number called me wanted me to verify my social and told me I owe a cash loan over 1000, but couldnt tell exactly how much, from when i worked at a factory. I was making $13.00 an hour working there 10 years ago. No way I took out a cash loan for 1000, considering I bought a house and a brand new car that year. And never was behind a day. And when I said no I am sure I did not they screamed at me they would report me as hostile, and non cooperative and I could deal with the jail and consequences. Really? I blocked their number and they havent called  back.

This company just called my cell and asked for my social..called me by a previous name and said I better get representation. I asked questions like what is the account#, who are you?, what's your address? and they said they were going to report me as being hostile. Well, I said FU FU FU FU FU... I will Not send money to someone who cannot even send me a bill...

I get this call all the time.  I don't owe Verizon, they must have other accounts as well,  It is a debt collector for sure.

Person called asked me to verify last four of social put me on hold and then said super visor would be right with me then hung up.

Some type of debt collector for verizon

Yeah they called saying I owe 3,000 from a credit card in 2001 .....I have no credit cards and this is complete fraud....they are rude and hang up when I tried to get clarification and information about the account they are claiming I owe....says its going to irs....scare tactics

they just called me wanted to verify my last 4 social and when i asked what it was about the man said "let me put you on hold to see if i can get more information for you" so i hung up.

The called me about a 25 $ bill from 2001. LOL
