Now I don't know who I talked to but it was either Mr. Andre or Mr. Laverne pretending to be "Investigator John Adams".  These guys have little to no education, they bumble their way through conversations, and they obviously have no control over their emotions.  They contacted me claiming that a certain credit card company was claiming fraud against me.  There just happens to be another person where I live with the same name as me.  My guess is that they called both numbers they could find and told both of us the same story, hoping one of us would contact them and they could try to collect their debt.  I ran a credit report for myself just to make sure it wasn't me, and my credit report was clear.  When I asked him to send me all of his information pertaining to the case, as is required by LAW, he gave me two addresses that he stated he had sent letters to, neither of which I ever lived at.  I have told him several times that he has the wrong person, but he just can't face facts and move on.  I have filed FTC complaints for his behavior and added myself to the national do not call list.  If he calls again, I'll report him there too.

A female phoned my home this a.m. (showed up on my caller id as being from Illinois and placed from number 1-773-979-0080)asking to talk to my daughter.  I told her she could no longer be reached at this number because she is out of college now and lives on her own.  She asked if I had a number for her but I refused to give out her number so she asked if I could write down a message and give it to her.  I agreed to do so and she proceeded to say that my daughter is involved in a fraud case in Florida and needs to call them immediately at 1-888-661-0667.  I immediately laughed because my daughter has never broken the law and would never consider doing anything illegal.  She was however unwise in signing up for a couple of credit cards during her freshman year in college without my knowledge and as a result has less than exemplary credit now.  However, the charge-offs are due to be dropped off her credit report in May and I suspect that this is why someone has so dilengently been trying to contact her at my home number for the last couple of months.  They know that time is running out to collect any money from her.  I am certain that this is why they told me it involved Fraud so I would be concerned and forward the message.  The lady on the phone said she was with the Law office of Tom Mason and asked that I have my daughter call her at 1-888-661-0667, case #0242A.  Can you tell me if this is a clever scheme being used by a collection agency? If so, does my daughter have recourse in charging them with Fraud in giving false information in an attempt to trick her into calling them?  I know that the fair credit reporting act addresses this very issue and I also know that my daughter is protected by the fair credit reporting act against legal action at this point because the time since she last paid on the debt is several years past the four year deadline in which a company may take legal action against her to receive payment.
