I returned a phone call received from a Mr. Pepin yesterday. He called an employer that was several years old.
He claimed that I had overdrafts to my account with Fleet (which no longer exists)
I had in the previous two or three weeks received a another phone call from someone representing Fleet Bank stating I owed $1200 on a Master Card.
I explained to them that they had the wrong party. I was on a checking/savings account ten years ago with my daughter when she went away to college so I could deposit/withdraw funds for her from her account. This account was closed many years ago (it was then Bank of Boston)
Mr Pepin told me he had my SS# and listed several known addresses. I had lived at only one of the addresses, since I resided at the same home for twenty years. He then told me he had several people on the list with my name, but different SS #'s.
It would appear that they are trying to collect money owed to them by anyone with the same name.
Unfortuantely for me I have a very common name. I have filed a police report and I have also gone to the bank (Bank of America) now. They checked through their accounts and they have nothing listed under my name as owing them any money.
