I was contacted by this company with an official looking letter that said I owed 800 dollars on a bill for AT@T. It listed my old telephone and in my maiden name that I had 11 years ago. But it said the dates for the charges were for online services that were between 2007 and 2008. I have not had that service or used ATand T ever that I know of.
So I called AT@T and they did not recognize the number and said that I did not owe them any money. They even checked archives for old bills.
I know this is happening to more and more people. They are figuring that some folks will just pay it. Some of the elderly are vulnerable to these con artists.
I know if they ever dare bother me again I will get a lawyer. Even though it is expensive for a lawyer and they would charge several hundred at least they would know someone out there is on to there schemes.
The statute of limitations is 6 years in Alaska and ten in some states but these fools keep thinking that somehow they can eek money out of people.
I sent them a letter, and told them I did not owe them a thing, and to never bother me again.
Which legally they can't.
