Scam Alert: BBB Imposters Calling Local Consumers
12/4/2008

Better Business Bureau of Southern Arizona is warning local consumers about a call coming from New Canaan, Connecticut claiming to be the BBB.


Two Tucson residents received a call from 203-652-4022. In both cases the caller identified herself as Betty with the BBB, but caller ID listed the call as coming from “Debt Free.” While there are several business listings across the country for companies named Debt Free, BBB is still working to tie this number to a legitimate business in Connecticut.


One consumer tells BBB that “Betty” offered to drastically lower her mortgage rates and in the other call she promised to cut credit card debt by at least 50 percent. BBB staff called the number above multiple times only to get a recording that instructs callers to press one in order to be removed from the company’s call list.


BBB reminds consumers never to provide personal or financial information to callers you don’t know. If you receive this or a similar call, get as much information as you can from the caller, don’t divulge any personal information and report it to your BBB by calling 520-888-5353 or emailing info@tucson.bbb.org.

I have recieved multiple calls from this Number saying that the can reduce my credit card debt nwhich I have none since I don't use credit cards. Every time they call I ask them to remove me from there calling list and get the same response every time. They hang up on me.Please help us get these scammers.

Get calls from this number several times per week...on my FAX line.  What idiots.  How many times will they get the screaching of the fax before they quit?

i cannot take it anymore. Our phone rings ALL day from this company. I have hit #1 "take your number off list" NOTHING WORKS!  we live in Florida and they call about 8 times per day.  We are busy, working, taking care of children, have sick family member we caring for.........I am gonna have breakdown.........i RUN to answer phone ONLY to find it is this company.  Can anyone help us???????????

recieved unwanted calls four time within a few hours even on my do not call phone list.

No message left on answer machine
Call is from New Canaan, CT

No message, they just hang up before my answer machine gets done talking.
Comes from Cahaan, CT.  Search showed it on the corner of Brinckerhoff Ave and Mortimer St.

My parents have been receiving calls from them.

Another annoying mortgage scammer.

Caller never leaves message but my caller ID shows this to come from New Canaan, CT at the end of Mortimer St and Brinkerhoff Ave.

I have no dealings with any one or business in CT now will I answer the phone for a phone number from there.

received call this morning from this number- it said "debt free" on my caller ID and had a recorded message about getting rid of unsecured debt. I pressed 1 to speak to someone - and once they were on the phone asked them how they got my number.  They then HUNG UP ON ME!  So frustrating.

They called my dad on Inauguration Day saying that President Obama just signed into legislation a new act cutting creidt card debt in half if you were over 10K in debt.  What people wont say to scam someone.

calls often - never leaves message
