Mitchell Kay Aka Mitchell And Kay Aka Mitchell N. Kay - Fingerhut
Mitchell Kay Aka Mitchelle N. Kay - Law Firm Collecting For Fingerhut Mistaken identity and Inconsistency ripoff

Sometime in the past three months, I received a message to call Jason at the "Law firm of Mitchell and *unintelligble*".

He told me of a balance due on my Fingerhut account? I was totally blown away - my mother had ordered from Fingerhut back in the 80's but never could stand their junk. I've never ordered anything from that company.

He asked me to confirm the last four of my social, and when I recited the number, he told me that matched his information.

After doing some research, I contacted Fingerhut, who had no information on me, but also told me that they were bought by another company in and gave me another number to call. I admit, I lost the information, and became too busy to deal with it, and since my credit has been horribly damaged by a divorce, I've been dealing with the real threats - not some something that appears to be a scam.

The other day, I found the slip of paper with the "Mitchell and? Law Firm" info which was believed to have been discarded. I decided to follow up.

The first agent I spoke to did not give her name, but gave me more insight on the name of the firm which I now heard as "Mitchell and Kay". While she looked up my information, I told her that I was not providing any information, that she would have to confirm the information that she had with *me*. She hung up.

I called back immediately (and forgot his name) and gave him the reference number, but he could not pull up my information because someone else had the account "open" (on a computer). So I informed him about the conversation with the agent who terminated our call. I told him the same thing. He told me that for privacy reasons, he could not give me all the information they had, and I asked "Well, if I can give you the last four of my social, why can't you give me the last four of the social you have"

"Oh, I can do that."

Good... So minutes passed and he was able to get into the file. The digits of the SSN he gave me DID NOT match my own, neither did the last known address. He'll run this by his Client (Fingerhut).

Which makes me wonder why the first guy, Jason, affirm the information I had given him?

This really smells like a scam, folks.
