Shortly after I conducted some legitimate financial business, I received a false collection notice in the mail. It was addressed to me using a previous married name that I haven't used in over 10 years. And on an MCI account I never had. I have NEVER used either MCI or SPRINT. When I called the number to inquire, the recording said I would be helped by a representative in approximately 16 minutes, I was able to hold about 10 then I had to hang up. I tried one more time and was told the wait would be approximately 17 minutes. I held for about 20 minutes then the line was picked up and hung up. When I looked online I found several warnings that this company was fraudulant, and I believe it. Fraudulant companies prey on people who are in the middle of a stressful financial transaction and they count on you just paying the debt and not questioning it. Also, due to the current business I'd been conducting I had a recent credit report and it is not on it and I've also had many credit reports over the last 10 years and it's never been on those.
